Mexican sodas
Paul C.

I happened upon this food truck today. It is located on Highway 280 in front of the shopping complex that includes Best Buy and Saigon Noodle House. I had two tacos (Asada and Chorizo) and a pinapple soda. These are authentic Mexico City style street tacos. Two corn tortias, chopped meat, onions, and cilantro. Yum. I sat with the owners (Edgar and wife) on a table that is setup under a worn tent. Edgar told me they have been open for the past seven months. Their hours are Monday thru Saturday from 10:00 to 7:00 and on some Sundays.

I just moved here from California where I'm used to seeing food trucks on every corner. This is the first one I saw here in Alabama, YUUUUUMMMYYY TACOS! I think they have a sister truck in Pelham called El Korita. The tacos are really good! And the green salsa is AMAZEBALLS. Lol They are open 7 days a week from 10-10.

Menu w/prices.

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Grilled chicken with Mac n cheese and his puppies. All these were completely delicious

If the ratings went higher than 5 stars I would rank it higher. Birmingham is a city filled with…read moregreat BBQ restaurants. If it isn't good BBQ, it won't last. My wife and I ate at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint for the first time today, and we have found our new favorite BBQ joint. We enjoy watching Pat Martin's tv show, "Life of Fire," so we came with very high expectations. They surpassed them. When we stepped out of the car the smoke BBQ smell was amazing. I ordered a pulled pork shoulder sandwich and asked them to top it with coleslaw and had a side of mac & cheese and bought a second side, cornbread hoecake. Martha ordered the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans. I started with the mac & cheese. It was delicious with plenty of cheese and baked to perfection with a crispy cheese top. Really delicious. The cornbread hoecake was incredible it looks like and has the consistency of a pancake. You must order that when you go. Then I picked up the pulled pork shoulder sandwich and sunk my teeth in it. Oh, my! Pulled pork at its best. I added the Jack's Creek vinegar-based sauce to it, and wow, that added even more outstanding flavor to it. I've found my new favorite BBQ sauce. Martha thoroughly enjoyed her sliced brisket sandwich. We both had a bite of each others sandwiches and both were mouth-satisfying delicious. The brisket was perfect. The baked beans were very tasty, too. Everything was about as perfect as you can get at a BBQ joint. Pat Martin knows his BBQ, just as he displays on his show "Life of Fire." Before I could say anything, Martha said, "This is the best BBQ I've ever had. Let's come back for lunch tomorrow." She didn't have to twist my arm. We still like many other delicious BBQ restaurants in Birmingham, and will eat at them again, but Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint is our new favorite. In a city where BBQ is king, Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint sits atop the throne. We returned the next day for lunch. : Martha enjoyed the mouth watering and mouth satisfying Pulled Pork Sandwich topped with coleslaw and deliciously seasoned and crisp homemade chips. I threw down on a half slab of fall off the bone full flavored ribs. I got half of the ribs Memphis dry rub and the other half wet (St. Louis style). They were amazing! My sides were broccoli salad (because I'm a health nut) and homemade fries. And, of course, the delicious cornbread hoecake. We can't wait to come back to B'ham again to try more delicious food here at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint.

It's been so many years since I had Martin's bbq. I am pretty sure they had just opened when I…read morelast visited, prior to recently. The gentleman working greeted my mom and me right away when we entered the dine in section of the restaurant. They also have a separate section/ bar space for to go orders. I really like this concept! We took a few mins to review the menu. I didn't take long bc I already knew that I wanted ribs. The 4 spare rib tray comes with 2 side. I got baked beans and fries. The sides were okay .. nothing amazing. The dry rub/ sauce ribs had a nice flavor to them. Very tender as well. My mom had the pulled pork tray also with baked beans & fries. She requested her bbq sauce on the side. Their bbq sauce is quite tasty!!!! Drinks had to be purchased separately. I think my mom ordered a Coke and I had a good people pale ale. We dined outside on the back covered patio. It was a beautiful yet kinda windy day. Once our food was brought out , no staff members came to check on us. I felt this was odd , although everyone was nice and welcoming. Idk.. I wasn't too pressed bc I really prefer to be left alone for the most part when I'm out dining. It just would have been pleasant if someone came over at least ONCE! Overall, my 2nd visit here ( my mom's first) was satisfying. I was craving ribs so this definitely hit the spot! She enjoyed her meal. We both needed to go boxes. They have an attached parking lot. It's shared with Bendys and other stores in the area. Parking might be problematic if you visit during a busy time.

I always pass by this place but never thought to actually visit. This time I did. Boy am I glad I…read moredid. These guys know food! They serve breakfast all day and the lunch/dinner specials are great. It's a hole in the wall place but it works. There is no dining area perse so it best to get take out. The gentlemen there were nice and courteous and offered their best seller which is the fat mama burger which is two ground 1/4lbs chuck patties, bacon, shrimp, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. It was delicious! The size of it was monstrous! It was magnificent! I had to cancel my order of fries! Lol They have beverages here but not on tap; everything is in a can. That's a good thing in my opinion. The prices of everything is very reasonable and manageable. The service is top notch but what I enjoyed the most was the conversation and recommendation as this was my first, but not last, time visiting. I'm so mad I'm just now trying them. I'll be trying their breakfast next time because I saw a plate the owner was making and it made my mouth water like a Doberman Pinscher finally getting that bone. They accept cash, debit, and credit, the latter via square and they'll email or text you a receipt if needed. Very convenient and practical. They also do catering so if you have a function coming up, give them a call. All in all, this was a great first time experience. Great recommendations, quick food service, awesome owner and cook, and worthy of service. Visit these guys ASAP!

I ordered the chicken sandwich and was impressed that it was not shredded but had big chunks of white meat drenched in BBQ sauce. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I am not prone to giving 5 stars, but Fat Mama has proven itself worthy.
