I am very picky when it comes to Mexican food since that is my expertise. I am taking my time to…read morewrite this review since this place is authentic. It was recommended that I try the chicken flautas and they exceeded my expectations. Just like tacos, the flautas rely heavily on the salsa quality that they are bathed in; this key component either makes or breaks them. These were not overly spicy, and the many flavors complimented this traditional dish very well. The decor in this place is legit, and staff are knowledgeable and proud of the food they serve. If you want authentic Mexican food, I recommend Taco Morro Loco. I am looking forward to eating here again, next time I am in Birmingham.

Taco Morro Loco's food truck was parked in Lakeview near the bar I was planning to visit, so I…read moredecided to give it a try. One thing I really liked was the wide variety of protein options on the menu. I ordered two tripa tacos and was very happy with the flavor. The tripa was well-seasoned, and the tacos were satisfying overall. The staff on the truck were friendly and patient while I decided what to order, and I never felt rushed. My food was prepared quickly, which I definitely appreciated. The only downside was the price. I paid around $11 or $12 for two tacos, which is a bit more expensive than the food truck I usually visit. That said, I assume the higher price is due to the Lakeview location. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the Lakeview area.

We love this place! The tacos are amazing, and we love the queso. Our order got a little messed up…read more We ordered several tacos and an order of chips and queso and 3 drinks. We didn't realize it, but we were charged for 3 quesos. They realized it when they offered us 3 quesos, and they let us keep the quesos and refunded my card. These tacos are absolutely delicious! We were in love and will definitely be back. We ordered both flour and corn tortillas, and we ordered variety of tacos. The chicken was absolutely delicious. We loved the asada and chorizo, but the real star was the Al pastor. We will absolutely be back for more!

This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. Over the years, the taste isn't the same. The…read moreservice is still good, the pricing is still fair but that's where the good times end. The salsa lacks flavor and is often watery and full of stems. The chicken is often dry and lacks seasoning. No salt, no pepper...nothing. The ambiance is typical-festive and upbeat. But until they get better cooks, I may have to take my money elsewhere. I am trying to limit eating out to 2 times per week, so when I do, I want it to be enjoyable, not a waste of money and calories. Please do better!

But it was ready in 5 mins. They accept Apple Pay you pay before getting your food. There is a bench table but it was occupied when I was there. So I took my order home. It was so good. That green sauce was so delicious. They're doing great things at this taco truck. I'll be back. $15 for the best meal I've had in a while so worth it! Don't skip the lime, cilantro and onions! Thank you!

Alright alright... don't judge me--yes, I'm at Taco Mama again. Different location though, so…read moretechnically this counts as branching out. I'm currently on a "doctor-inspired" diet (aka I had some dental work done yesterday), so no burgers, no corn on the cob, no tearing into anything that fights back. If it's not bite-sized, it's not happening. So I played it smart and went with the trusty burrito bowl--this time with steak. And let me tell you, that was the right call. That steak? Tender, fresh, and seasoned exactly how it should be. No surprises there... Taco Mama doesn't really miss. Now every few bites, you catch one of those jalapeños sneaking in, and it hits your taste buds with just the right little Southern kick. Keeps things interesting. Then you get that perfect bite where the queso decides to make an appearance--next thing you know it's dripping down your chin like you forgot you were in public. No shame. Atmosphere still holds up too. Strip mall location, but they've got those big garage doors rolled up so it feels halfway outside, halfway inside. Patio's open, music's going, lunch crowd doing their thing--it just sits right. All in all, solid choice... again. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a full stomach and a date with a nap.

My taco sampler of the BIRRIA, BAJA FISH, and LENGUA was underwhelming. My BIRRIA received an up charge because of the addition of cheese, which is fine, problem is there was very little of it. It can out over seasoned and greasy as well. The Baja fish taco was unfortunately not prepared in the baja style. Few slivers of dried up fish were subbing in for the real fried tilapia. No cabbage in them either. They did not provide any limes or salsa for the tacos. You have to special request that apparently. My Lengua taco had plenty of meat but it was not fresh tasting. I was bummed as this was already three strikes on my tacos. But the glimmer on the horizon were my 1/2 DOZEN RAW OYSTERS w CEVICHE. The ceviche was bright and flavorful but the oysters were not fresh unfortunately.

To be very honest, it's not a place that after you eat it you would say: "This place is amazing, we need to come back sooner rather than later!" However, nor would you say: "This is so awful, I would never ever eat here again." We ordered steak fajitas and a vegetable quesadilla. Other than the rice that came out cold, the rest of the food came out very hot. Unfortunately, the tortillas are not freshly made in-house though. We also got churros as dessert. That was the highlight of the meal for my SO as it was hot and has stuffing inside!
