Our waiter, Ibrahim, didn't speak much English but he was patient and attentive. Ambience is typical. Lots of Mexican decor. The location is right off of Allison-Bonnet which is the main drag in Hueytown. The restrooms were dated and a little small but clean. On to the food and drinks. The chips and salsa were so yummy! I love the fresh thin chips! We also got the Los Reyes dip and it was delicious. (We didn't even get a pic.) But it's ground beef, Pico and queso. Yummy good. I got the parallida for my meal which is a massive fajita plate of various meats with green bell peppers and onions. All the meat came cooked in a sauce, I wasn't a fan. It wasn't bad just not what I expected. Also the chicken and beef weren't sliced. Just a long strip of each. I did love the rice and beans though. My sis said her baked potato lacked seasoning although it had several meats on it. And my other sister enjoyed her veggie chimichangas. The margarita was ok, nothing bad or great about it other than it was well blended. I think the house tequila made me a little nauseated. Might have to choose another option if I return. And next time I'll stick to the basics. Dip and tacos.

It is a food truck, so the atmosphere is super casual, and there is normally a small crowd, but you likely won't be waiting long. They are located in a super convenient spot, so it is never too much of a task to stop by. Overall, Dos Hermanos is a great choice if you want a quick, affordable, and delicious meal.

My husband and I wanted to check out the food before deciding on a caterer, so we went to Maya's one night for dinner. We shared a plate of chicken fajitas. The food was really good and plenty for both of us. They served endless chips and salsa which I appreciated because some Mexican restaurants don't do this. Regarding the catering, we talked with a man named Juan. He was very helpful and gave suggestions of items to get, and told us to call him closer to time to put in the catering order. Later, one thing that was difficult was getting back in touch with Juan because he worked between the Maya restaurant in Homewood and the Maya restaurant in Alabaster. Luckily we were able to speak to him and put in the final order. The day of the party, we had to wait a few minutes before the food was ready, but when we got the food we were amazed at how much food we got! It was an amazing deal. The food was nice and hot and the party goers were super impressed. We had a nacho/taco bar with chicken and ground beef as well as flour and corn tortillas and nacho chips. The toppings included lettuce, guacamole, salsa, rice and cheese dip. There was plenty of food with lots of leftovers. If you are in Alabaster and looking for a caterer, I highly recommend Mayas.
