I have ate here a few times and it's always on point. Horchata is a must and the food is well prepared. Clean with seating area for lots of people. read more

Centro Taqueria - Torta!! - Mexican Near Me - Foley, Alabama

As far as a taqueria goes, these are 5 star. Great choice in tacos; the goat was delicious. Home made tortillas, sopes, fresh waters and the salsa bar. A good lunch read more

Really great little taqueria! Very tasty salsa and somehow they make their chips with two stuck together. I always search out that type in the basket but every one was that way! Jackpot! My only gripe is that the Asada wasn't trimmed very well like I am used to. Almost every bite had a little strip of fat, gristle, or even bone. Other reviewers said go for the Al Pastor. Wish I had listened...it had a very good flavor but trimmed in haste, perhaps being a Friday? The sope was perfect except for the steak. They have all my favorite toppings, avocado, onion, tomato, lettuce, crema, and cotija. Yummers! And the taco topping bar was awesome! They had several salsas and avocado based sauces. Very good. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food. The Menudo is fantastic and there tacos can't be beat. Very fast service. I go every time I am in Foley.

Worst service ever. Food came out after like 30 minutes and came out cold.. we ordered three sets of tacos & a torta cubana, torta cubana and one set of 3 tacos were okay, warm food not fresh and hot especially for taking so long. The other two sets of 3 tacos were cold.. ice cold to be honest. For the food to take so long it should of came out hot and steaming, the lady who dropped off the food didn't ask anything when she dropped it off and walked away quickly. The server or whoever was our "server" never came back we had to go looking for her after like 15 minutes she appeared at the cash register but not to go check on us. Once we had gotten food no one came back to serve us or check on us, the aguas frescas (fresh waters) when asked if they gave out refills or not she didn't even know what we were asking about, when we tried to let her know about the food she didn't apologize she just asked us "what meat are the tacos" didn't care to ask us if we were okay or to apologize. Don't recommend this place, save your money. $61.58 for food that didn't meet our expectations. read more

We just discovered this place last week and it's very good. It's not Tex-Mex, and it's not Baja so it's a little different but still very tasty. The carne and the chicken are both quite good. Very large selection of good homemade salsas and Fresca items. The market next door has everything you need for an authentic Mexican dinner. read more

Centro Taqueria - Carne tacos. They come plain, just meat and tortilla, but we added guacamole. Make sure you request the homemade corn tortillas. - Mexican Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Food is good. It is definitely over priced. Customer service is okay but after you get your food, no one checks on you. I recommend take out. read more

If there's one thing this area is lacking, it's authentic Mexican cuisine. If that's something you've been searching for, look no further! I consider it a good sign when we walk into a Mexican restaurant and we're the only non-Hispanics in there. That was the case the entire time we were there. In fact, the server spoke about as much English as I spoke Spanish - about 20 words. No worries, there was a guy in there who was fluent in English and could translate. The menu was written in English, but there were no descriptions given of the dishes. If you need that, then rest assured there are a few safe options on the menu. I like to venture out, so I ordered something pollo (chicken) that I had never heard of and hoped it would be good. My hubs ordered tacos carne asada. We both ordered unsweet tea and it came in a bottle, but was pretty good. Our food was incredible! My pollo dish turned out to be the typical chicken breast with rice, beans and salad with pico. It was much better than I've had anywhere else. It came with corn tortillas, which I typically don't eat, but this was the exception. The tortillas were nothing short of amazing! They were definitely homemade. The hubs got his tacos and I was surprised to see only meat and no onions or cilantro. The waiter came and got him and motioned him to the fresh condiments bar, which had pico, verde, salsa, cucumbers, cilantro, and several other things. The sauces were way above average, as was the cheese dip. Our total bill was only about $25, which is really inexpensive. The quality and flavor of the food is outstanding. The service was extremely friendly. The place is affiliated with the Mexican grocery store next door, so check them both out! read more

Not only the best Mexican, but perhaps the best food in and around Foley!!! Real Mexican food made by actual Mexicans. None of that same menu different place Tex-Mex stuff you see at the other 99% of places claiming to serve Mexican...but they simply Mexican't. I could eat their pollo tacos for days (and have), and love their myriad of toppings and fresh salsas...especially those with some kick to let you know you're alive. If you are looking for a somewhat hidden gem and some good eats look no further. Es mucho bueno read more

Dirty floor and overall a poor experience. My wife ordered Heuvos w scrambled eggs and Chorizo sausage. What she got had sliced hot dogs and cut up french fries in it. Tacos were very greasy Will never come here again. The sad thing is that Shrimp Basket is right across the parking lot so we missed out on what could have been a good seafood dinner. read more

Centro Taqueria - French Fries and cut up hot dogs in what was supposed to be Huevos with Chorizo Sausage. - Mexican Near Me - Foley, Alabama

This restaurant is BY FAR the best Mexican food on the gulf coast! I wish the places in Pensacola would take notes on the quality of the Mexican food here! Everything is authentic! The tacos are incredible, the horchata is fresh, and the salsas are amazing! Whenever we come to visit Foley, this place is a MUST! read more

Mediocre food, service and ambiance. Don't understand the rave reviews. The guacamole was a tad greasy, the molcajeta awful and everything else blah. Even the salsa that came with the homemade chips was runny and nothing special. read more

We're currently staying in Gulf Shores for the weekend and woke today craving tacos. Not the American, Tex-Mex kind, but real-deal, Mexican tacos. Since there seemed to be nothing that fit the description around these parts, we decided after researching on Yelp that it was worth the 20-minute drive to Foley to partake in an authentic taco experience. It was totally worth it. This place is tiny. It's not properly air-conditioned, it's a smidge cramped, they don't serve beer, and it's a perfect setting for amazing food. (I adore a good hole-in-the-wall.) I ordered two chivo (goat) tacos and a tostada, which was fried to perfection with glorious amounts of avocado, crema, and queso fresco glommed on top. My fiance ordered al pastor tacos, which were slow-cooked to gloriousness. The salsa bar up front really makes it. They have everything from pickled veggies, radishes, multiple types of salsa (I recommend the avocado and spicy red.), onions, and cilantro. We washed our tacos down with bottled, Mexican sodas. It was a perfect vacation lunch. We left with happy tummies and hearts. This is a must-visit lunch destination in Foley. read more

Centro Taqueria - Goat tacos and a crispy, creamy tostada. The chips and salsa are delicious and complimentary. - Mexican Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Their taco's are probably the best in the area. I was a little skeptical when they had to bring my credit card to the little grocery store next to them because there was some issue with their equipment. But the taco's were worth it I can always get another credit card but good Mexican food in Foley is hard to come by. read more

This out of the way place is authentic Mexican food at it's best! The homemade tortillas alone are reason enough to eat here. The food is freshly made to order, and they offer more than the typical tacos and burritos that populate most Mexican restaurant menus. Try the sopes and the quesadillas. I couldn't decide, so I ordered both - smart move on my part. Talk about perfection on a plate! The sope was not at all greasy, and the corn flavor of the base really came through. The homemade tortilla took the quesadilla to a new level. All of the flavors were well balanced and the meat was succulent and lean. The atmosphere is unpretentious and basic. And that's a good thing. It's obvious that they put their resources into the food rather than the decor. However, the place is meticulously clean, especially the bathrooms. And that is saying something for a men's room in a Mexican restaurant, where you avoid the men's room at all cost. When I am in Foley, this is my new go-to Mexican restaurant. It's is worth the hour's drive. read more

This place is extraordinary, a shocker for my native Californian sensibilities. Try their shrimp!! read more

If you are a fanatic of true Mexican food, not that Tex-Mex garbage, then you will not find a place better than this. Best tacos I have ever had, and I am one taco eatin' son-of-a-gun! The Al Pastor is 10/10, best ever. You are treated with free chips and sales, and they also have a mini buffet bar with numerous toppings and salsas; cilantro, cheese, etc. To top it off, the prices are ridiculously low, like, unfathomably low, like, $1.20/taco low! This place is it you guys. This is it! read more

I grew up in Alabama but moved to California two years ago and loved their tacos. Real authentic Mexican food and especially tacos are to find in the south. I just recently moved back and we've been on the hunt for authentic Mexican food not this fake "white" wash stuff. Finally found this little place kinda hidden if you're not sure where it's at. It's great, authentic Mexican food. Sure they're not just like Cali tacos but they're very close and the best Mexican in foley. Sure the place isn't the cleanest or nicest but you're going for tacos so it's okay They're agua Fresca's are pretty yummy too!!! read more

The tacos are amazing. I had the al pastor with homemade corn tortillas thinking I'd eat one and take one home. Did not happen. They were so delicious, I ate them both! Friendly service and fantastic homemade salsas. Highly recommended read more

Tacos were on point. Very Mexican like. The venues isn't the cleanest but no-one is here for a fancy meal. There is a lil bar for salsas and stuff to put in your taco. Tacos were a little over $2 But there was a lot of meat in them. The food on the other tables looked amazing and fresh. Over all a great experience. read more

Homemade is name of the game. It's a Mom and Pop place for sure a must eat. What this place doesn't have in space it makes up for in great food. Chicken tacos and pulled beef tacos were excellent. Not to mention homemade corn tortillias. read more

Truly great Mexican. The real deal in every way along with great service. Tacos were on point!

This is probably one of the best restaurants in Foley, and probably one of the top Mexican restaurants in the county. The sopes are amazing and the salsa they start you with is even better. Highly recommended. read more

Awesome food!! But it is true Mexican food, no Americanization here. Will definately be back (actually, been here 3 times in the month since we found this gem). The Al Pastor & Barbecoa tacos are my personal favorites. read more
