Since I've lived in the Gardendale area this place has had 3-4 different names. The previous…read moreplaces all seemed to miss the mark in one way or another, food, cleanliness, decor. Who ever owns the place now has their stuff together. I've been there several times over the last few months every time I really enjoyed the meal. Place is tasteful decorated in a festive Mexican theme, service was fast and efficient. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. I had the lunch fijatis, if I had any issue it would have been you only get 2 tortillas with the meal, I'm positive I could have ask for more. Also had one of the top shelf margaritas, would have had another except I was alone, so no one to drive. Really good margarita. This place is by far the BEST Mexican Restaurant in the Gardendale Fultondale area. All the others could close and not be missed.

Not many places can do that, plus the food was great. Gabriel was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing. He brought out six plates of hot food at a time, across one arm! He didn't drop anything. He kept all of the tickets separate, knew who ordered what, asked if we needed anything, and helped me with plates and silverware for the cake. Thanks again, we had an amazing day!

We placed our order and were given a pager to let us know when our order would be ready. We ordered queso birria tacos, chips and salsa and a chicken burrito. The quesa Birria tacos were good. Not great but good. There was a decent amount of beef but the tacos were not overly stuffed. The consommé or soup was a little oily but not bad. 4/5 The chicken burrito was very good. It had a good amount of meat and was seasoned well. 5/5 The chips and salsa were a disappointment. The chips were great. The salsa had way too much sugar. I ate two bites and stopped due to the high sugar content. I thought I had pics of the chips and salsa but I don't. 3/5 Overall my experience was good. I prefer Catrinas. 4/5

Being downtown, parking is not always the greatest, but it was a lovely evening for walking less than a block to the restaurant. It was a Saturday evening so there was a little wait, but we were able to sit outside and have a drink while we waited. Once inside, the place was dimly lit, really loud with music and very clean. And for having unisex bathrooms, those were surprisingly clean as well. Our waitress was great, I wish I could remember her name... but I do know she was from Cali. We ordered a couple of strawberry margaritas, which were just your basic drink, but still refreshing. Started off with a basket of chips, salsa and fundido. This is considered an appetizer, so no freebies here. The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa had a nice flavor and the fundido was ok according to the kiddo. We had the grilled shrimp tacos with rice and beans. You had to assemble your own tacos tonight, and order rice and beans separately as the taco plate had no sides, but all delicious.... Beans had a nice kick, the shrimp tacos were missing something in my opinion, but not sure what. We also had the best shrimp quesadilla we ever tried. It has overly stuffed and cheesy with wonderful lime cream sauce to go with it. This entree was a huge hit all around and it did come with a side, so no extra charges. To finish off dinner, we all shared the strawberry tres leches and OMG... Absolutely the best we have had in a while. Too bad it's seasonal. Over all, great experience and would definitely g
