It's like from that movie Coco from Disney. They also have another restaurant in Vestavia that I frequent since it's closer to the movie theater, but they're both equally good. Tonight I had the grilled chicken chimichanga , frozen strawberry margarita, chocolate, martini, and churros Everything was so delicious and our server was so sweet. She said it was her first day serving as she is usually the bartender there. I cannot remember her name, but she had long black hair and she was so cheerful I'll definitely be back sooner than later

From the moment you step in, you're…read moregreeted with warm, inviting ambiance filled with vibrant Disney Coco animation art and a rich cultural atmosphere. It's the perfect family-friendly spot with a strong sense of community, and the service is top-notch. I had the Durango Steak--a ribeye medium cooked to perfection, paired with 5 jumbo shrimp on top of the steak...that were grilled just right. The plating was gorgeous! It came with a side of steamed vegetables smothered in their famous cheese sauce and authentic Spanish rice. To top it off, the steak was served with a savory fajita butter that elevated the whole dish to a whole new level of amazing. My daughter had the most flavorful quesadillas she's ever tasted--super fresh ingredients and the best slow-cooked Mexican beans with bits of tender, slow-roasted pork. My mother enjoyed the Pollo Loco, with sliced juicy chicken chunks grilled with peppers, laid on a bed of that mouth-watering rice and cheese sauce. The service was incredible! Our server was a cool, professional mature boxer who told stories of his fights recent fights in Mexico (cool guy) .... and he was very knowledgeable about the menu, with a great sense of humor and obvious respect for the restaurant and its owner. While it wasn't packed during our visit on a weekday, I've heard weekends are full of energy with karaoke, half-off drinks, and some seriously great music! And the Texas Margarita? Hands down the best margarita in town, top-shelf liquor all the way! Whether you want it on the rocks or frozen, it'll have you dancing in your seat. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this incredible spot. MAMA COCO Cantina is definitely worth a visit for authentic Mexican cuisine, great vibes, and fantastic service. Me and my family Highly recommend it!

This spot is rarely busy and I am surprised because the customer service is great! As soon as I walked in I was quickly greeted and sat.

The menu is extensive with every variation offered of staple Mexican dishes, where you can choose beef, chicken (grilled, pulled), pork, shrimp and tilapia.

We came to Barrio for lunch and just realized that they have a pretty decent priced lunch menu. I…read moreordered the lunch taco salad with shredded chicken and my friend ordered the lunch fajita with chicken, shrimp, and steak. I will say I was a little disappointed with our food. Although the taco salad had quite a few ingredients, the meal overall was very bland and the chicken was very dry. I even tried to add salsa to it and that didn't help. It seemed like it needed some extra seasoning or maybe some melted cheese. Also we noticed with the lunch fajita, they don't give you a lot of meat. My friend was able to squeeze in maybe 2 fajita wraps. Beware they do give you a lot of peppers and onions... maybe two much in my opinion.
