Quick and easy ordering and delivery of food. Also positive. Now the food is ridiculous in size. That is also great for college students and I love that you can build your own burrito. That said, again from a Californian that is in Los Angeles county, this is not at all what I consider Mexican food as far as flavor. I did not have high expectations though. We were not planning to come here but the options were limited and it was for dinner for three hungry individuals that had a three and a half hour flight delay and missed our reservation to a yummy place. Again, if you're very hungry and don't need truly authentic Mexican this is a good option. But for me, this is a no go.

Surely, I wouldn't be able to find any quality taquerias here, let alone any that could hold a candle to the ones back home. The late-night taco escapades would have to wait. Enter La Coronilla. Who would have thought that one of the most authentic, delicious taquerias I've ever seen could be found deep in the heart of Montgomery? This place was my absolute saving grace during my time as a student-athlete. I look back fondly on all the times I stopped in to reward myself with some tacos after a long week of grinding, both in the classroom and in competition. The Lengua tacos are by far the best I have ever had, and it is not even close; the meat is somehow perfectly crispy on the outside while maintaining lengua's incredible trademark tenderness at the same time -- nowhere else have I seen this accomplished. It is unbelievably rich, unctuous, fatty, and flavorful. The Al Pastor here is also dynamite; it's beautifully seasoned, has just the right amount of kick, and the pineapple notes really come through. The Chorizo is great as well; a little sweet, a little smoky, a little spicy. The Carne Asada's got a great char on it, and is also well-executed. The place just screams authenticity, and has generally friendly service as well -- though I find it much easier to communicate with the staff in Spanish, rather than English. I'm going to be honest -- having graduated this past spring, there are not very many things that I will miss about Alabama. That said, this place is definitely one of them, and it pains me to think that I may never have the chance to eat here again. La Coronilla became a great comfort for me -- it made me feel like I was home, even though home was thousands of miles away. Please do yourself a favor and stop by. Until we meet again...

Estoy sumamente decepcionada con la manera en que este negocio manejó nuestra situación y con el…read moretrato que recibimos. Hace aproximadamente dos meses, mi mamá, mi hermana y yo fuimos personalmente a este restaurante para organizar la comida para la recepción de mi boda. Hablamos directamente con la dueña, quien sabía perfectamente que el pedido era para una boda. Hablamos de la cantidad y del precio, llegamos a un acuerdo, e incluso ella misma ofreció incluir una charola de arroz y una de frijoles sin costo adicional. Cerramos el trato con un apretón de manos y ella nos indicó que llamáramos una semana antes de la boda para confirmar el pedido. Eso fue exactamente lo que hicimos. Cuando llamé una semana antes de mi boda para confirmar, la dueña se negó a respetar el acuerdo y nos dio un nuevo precio 250% más alto que el que ella misma había acordado con nosotras. Su explicación fue que no habían calculado bien sus costos antes de darnos el precio original. Sin embargo, esa no es responsabilidad del cliente. Como dueña de un negocio, es su responsabilidad conocer sus costos antes de dar un precio y comprometerse con un cliente, especialmente cuando sabe que ese cliente está confiando en ese acuerdo para alimentar a los invitados de una boda. Nosotras hicimos estos arreglos con dos meses de anticipación y seguimos exactamente las instrucciones que ella nos dio para confirmar el pedido. A pesar de eso, nos dejaron a una semana de nuestra boda buscando a última hora otra opción para la comida de la recepción. Cuando intenté hablar con ella sobre el acuerdo que habíamos hecho, me trató de una manera muy irrespetuosa y prácticamente dio por terminada la conversación. Cancelar un acuerdo para la comida de una boda con solo una semana de anticipación porque no calcularon correctamente sus propios costos me parece sumamente poco profesional. Después de nuestra experiencia, yo no confiaría en este negocio para atender un evento importante. Translation: I am extremely disappointed with the way we were treated by this business. About two months ago, my mother, sister, and I went to this restaurant specifically to arrange food for my wedding reception. We spoke directly with the owner. She knew exactly what the food was for, we discussed the quantity and price, and she even offered to include rice and beans at no additional charge. We agreed on everything, shook hands on the deal, and she instructed us to call one week before the wedding to confirm the order. We did exactly that. When I called one week before my wedding to confirm the food for our reception, the owner refused to honor the agreement and instead quoted us a price 250% higher than what she had personally agreed to. Her explanation was that they had not properly calculated their costs before agreeing to the original price. That is not the customer's responsibility. As the business owner, it is her responsibility to know her costs before quoting a price and making an agreement--especially when she knows that customer is relying on that agreement to feed guests at a wedding reception. We made these arrangements two months in advance and followed her instructions for confirming the order. Instead, we were left one week before our wedding scrambling to find replacement food for our reception. When I tried to address the agreement we had made, I was treated disrespectfully and the conversation was shut down. Backing out of an agreement for a wedding reception one week beforehand because you failed to calculate your own costs is incredibly unprofessional. Based on our experience, I would not trust this business to cater an important event.

I've always been to popular Mexican restaurants nearby for margarita and chimichangas, but I've…read morenever felt like I actually ate real tacos. I did some research on Google and Yelp and found this place, which seemed to have genuine, legit tacos. I've had a good feeling about this restaurant, because I've never heard about it, not many people knows or reviewed it, but it still had good reviews. It was next to Winn Dixie strip mall on South College. It's also next to Panda (local Chinese, not Panda Express), my favorite American-style Chinese restaurant. I've always thought that La Plaza was a Mexican supermarket, but my friend who has been here before told me it's actually half supermarket and half restaurant. This friend also learned about this place through his friends, and only had their food by take-out. When I entered, there were only about 5-6 people dining: but no Americans. I walked up to the counter and the cashier/server took my order. The menu was written in both Spanish and English, but not all the items were translated. The cashier/server's English was very limited so I had trouble communicating what I wanted. My friend and I ordered 3 tacos (2) each, which you can choose the meat and also add toppings (lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, cheese) for 25 cents each. We got 2 fountain drinks, and I found dispenser for the horchata, so I got it. However, it was my first time getting non-gourmet horchata (my very first was from NYC's Chelsea Market) and it was too distilled and sweet). Next to the wall was salsa stand with 5-6 types of salsas. I've observed how non-American customers were eating, and I noticed that they ordered the tacos by itself and only added the salsa, without all the toppings I added. When I received my taco basket, I was surprised, because I didn't know how to grab it and put it into my mouth. It was made with two thin layers of tortilla and generous amount meat and the toppings I added (which was all). Having a small mouth, which isn't very popular at a dentist, I was so frustrated with the amount of food they put on my taco, which was even hard to wrap around with the tortilla. The tortilla was soft and was not greasy at all. The meat was very well seasoned, so different from Taco Bell's tacos and Old El Paso's. It was very well marinated and the amount they put was generous. Each of the toppings I added was worth paying 25 cents each. I was sincerely surprised by the price, taste, and the amount I received from this restaurant, and I can't wait to come back to this restaurant.
