Great food good environment fast friendly staff
Food to salty. Service very good Restrooms need a lot of updating.
Steak and shrimp
Get the margarita pitcher I suggest the top shelf and peach on the rocks. Great company and good food you should enjoy yourself
Awesome food
The food was awesome with the right amount of seasoning. Also great environment and prices were low for the food I ordered. Big thumbs up.
This place has a great atmosphere and the service is good. The food is great. I recommend the Super Burrito with chicken.
People and service nice food decent because of a strawberry margaritas have a funny taste
Fantastic! We love great food, wonderful people.
We shared fajitas for two, chips and salsa, cheese dip, and each got a drink. The food was amazing. We spent less than $30 and left more than full. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting good Mexican food. Plus the salsa is completely fresh which is what originally sold us.
Best place ever for a margarita
Great food, fast service, fun atmosphere
Wonderful food and atmosphere!
Happy atmosphere, good music, delicious food!
Fast service. Great food. Great prices. Wonderful sweet tea
I love this place, my husband and I eat here when we get a chance, always friendly service and always great fresh food!
I come here at list once every 2wks. The staff are nice.
We stopped here to eat on our way to the funeral home. We ordered drinks and they were great. We ordered our food and a half hour later our server came to take our order again and realized that she never turned our order in. We got no apology. A party of 6 came in after us, ordered after us and got their food 10 minutes after they ordered. They were hispanic and we aren't. We paid for our drinks, in which we should have gotten for free, and left. Btw, it was very drab and dark inside
Good food & decent prices
Excellent food and service. Being going there for 4 years
Great customer service, average food, needs better bartending.
Never had a problem with service yet
Love this place good food good drink nice staff.
Very good food and friendly staff.
Loved the food.
Great as always! Been coming here for years and they are by far the friendliest around. I see this place staying around for decades. Keep up the great service
The food was decent, but the service was horrible! It's not worth it. I won't be back!
Great service and wonderful food
Meal was awful and I usually get chips and salsa and the man argued me down about it not coming with my quesadilla like it has in the past. I won’t be returning or recommending it to anyone and the prices has went up.
Please watch your prices on your ticket i have caught them more than once for adding extra amounts to the bill.. Then the lady said they charge me extra cause i wanted light ice lol really food is great but watch your ticket
Only 3 stars this visit because service was subpar. But food was great as always
I’ve known them since I was born and by far they are the best people around, and also some of the best cooks!
Love love this place!! We come to eat here every time we are visiting our son at BSC!! Food is amazing and the service is awesome as well!! They make you feel right at home and can accommodate large groups as well!! Best Mexican food ever!!
Today out of All days (my birthday) was horrible.....Ive been going to this restaurant for 8yrs now Never a complaint....but today the service was bad and my food was Burnt
Great Mexican Restaurant, multiple flavors of Margaritas in your choice of size in fishbowl type glassware. Great staff!! Worth the tip.
Staff is always friendly, the facility is always clean. Music always playing makes for a pleasant experience. The food muy bueno.

Had the steak & shrimp. Delish!!
Food is good but service is a lil slow.
We eat here very often. The food is fresh, fast service, clean and the people are always so nice, especially the owner, always willing to go an extra mile for his customers. I Highly recommend that you try this wonderful place you will not be disappointed!
Food was fast and good wait staff was fast and friendly also
Great place and wonderful owners
The salsa and chips served before the meal were fresh and tasty. My entree was very good; the shrimp were cooked just right and the medley of vegetables had just the right amount of crunch.
Don't know, we stopped at Burger King beside this place
Loving my dips.
Loved the food and portions. We got vegetarian burritos and rice and beans and fahitas. Excellent quality!
They are always nice here. The food is always good. The margarita's
Good food and service.
On a day-to-day, regular basis this is a great restaurant for our community! Service is always fast and courteous
Very good
An absolute staple of Adamsville,If youre just passing through stop here.
I order a ribeye steak they gave me a dried out tbone with know season they just cook it
Always enjoy the food.
Everything was very good
Awesome food and great service
This is a FANTASTIC find ... really a hidden gem. The food is DELICIOUS and served lightning fast. They have literally dozens of great combination plates which gives you a huge variety of choices. The portions are generous and during the brief wait ( seriously less than FIVE minutes for lunch today !! ) for your food, you can pig out on super fresh chips and salsa. The servers are always polite and attentive and the prices are extremely reasonable. If you don't live on the west end of Birmingham, make the drive to El Vecino. Well worth the trip.
Great food..awesome service...nice place
Great food...drinks not so much.
I love this place! Had the Flaming Shrimp Fajitas it was wonderful. Also low in Carbs.
The best steaks periodt!! They remember my order every time very family oriented fast service and amazing food
Nice spot to grab something to eat
Food and customer service was great you know what scratch great it was amazing
Great service, very friendly. Chips were a little thick.
Tried this place for the first time, and must I say I will never be back again. The manager was very rude, went back and forth with me over a drink that was made wrong. The food wasn’t good but I was willing to pay still, so I wouldn’t be trouble. He refuse to take my drink of, and said I had no choice but to pay for it when I didn’t even drink it. I am a manager, and the customer is always right. Somebody should teach these unprofessional workers that. Don’t waste your time or money.
Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Has been for years. Good food and good service. Owners know our faces we've been going to them for ao long.
Had a wonderful evening here, very nice atmosphere. Staff were great, waited on us but were unobtrusive. Food was great and was served a lot more food than I could finish. Had a very good experience and recommend it highly.
Great people and food
Very poor service went with guys from with specifically just to get a sweat tea becaude they have amazing tea and i had already ate at work and they literally tried to charge me for the 1 basket of chips and salsa they brought my 3 co workers and i had not had a single chip... very pathetic
Nice!! food is delicious
Love the food and the customer service and so clean. My best place to go @
The food was good the service was off the man told us it was a little wait it was ok but a man came in behind us and was seated before us in a booth for two then we was seated

My cup of water was served with a ring of HOT PINK LIP STICK around the rim. When I mentioned this to the manager, his response was " Our dishes go through the dish washer......"
Great place to take your family.
Great service from Maggie and great food from the chef. The sauce they use is wonderful. No after taste. This was our first time here and will definitely come back and recommend to all. This is a must try place. And the prices are very reasonable.
This Mexican restaurant was a delicious place to stop as we came through town. The portions were large and the meals were reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this to anyone driving through Birmingham.
Food was great but waitress made us buy a second basket of chips.

Great service as well as good food.
Great food and people
I have dine here plenty the food is delicious the service is great we are planning to have my daughter Birthday celebration here in October with a few friends
Not the best Mexican food I've ever had but not the worst either.
If I could give them less I would. I read the other reviews and these people must be pumping up these reviews because all of them are lie. The food is absolutely Horrible. I was trying to do something different with my children so I decided that I would take them to this restaurant. It was nice walking in and had a nice appearance. But the food was inedible, we ended up leaving everything on the table. I talked to the manager and agreed to pay half of the bill only because it was my daughter's birthday and I had to take her somewhere where she could at least eat and enjoy it. I ended up taking them to Chick-fil-A. Please do not waste your money here the food is so Gross. Everytime I think about the food at this restaurant I get sick on my stomach. I am unsure what kind of meat we were serve it was supposed to have been ground beef but I have taste ground beef that was not flavored and that meat was not ground beef.
Love LOVE love this restaurant. The services and food is Great! I recommend every body to visit#anextra5stares
