    Seared tuna taco and grilled red fish taco. Cold edmame on both.
    Claire R.

    Delicious! Came here on a visit to see my parents and the food is so tasty. I had the grilled red fish taco with kimchi (daily special) and the seared tuna taco and cold edamame. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the grilled red fish. The soft shell of the taco was also great. Kimchi was a nice slightly spicy addition. Staff was also friendly and the restaurant itself is cute inside. A must go!

    The tempura turnip fries are an absolute MUST! These are some of the best veggies fries I've ever had. We came on a Saturday night, and it was pretty empty, but we waited for service for quite a while after being seated. One waitress was covering all of the tables while other waitresses were closing at 8pm... I didn't like this service. The venue is adorable and kind of tucked away with patio seating out front. Definitely hole in the wall vibes with dark lighting and limited seating. The food was amazing! I don't like how it is served in paper boats, but it just goes along with the venue. Besides the tempura turnip fries, my friend and I each got one taco. She got the firecracker shrimp and I got the pork belly... both were extremely delicious! A great way to fill our bellies before we went out.

    Great little spot with a variety of food choices to please every possible palette. We went in as a group of 8 with vegan and vegetarian diets and everyone had something to choose from. The tacos are 7 dollars each and have varied choices like firecracker shrimp, king pao chicken and brisket. They have salads and vegan/vegetarian bowls along with kungpao and firecracker shrimp bowls with rice and noodles. Their turnip fries were a let down - very oily crust with a soggy turnip inside. Not well done at all. Beer and wine were also available along with mock tails. Overall, a small town vibe but a worldwide fusion menu.

    Eclectic Asian taco / fusion restaurant. The space has a cool vibe. Plenty of space. Service is quick and attentive. They were willing to make substitutions to the items on their entrees. I had the blackened ribeye tacos and substituted the spicy dill aoli. Beef was tender and full of flavor. They have a regular menu and a handful of daily specials.

    Dragonfly Foodbar has a rich history in Fairhope, AL! It first opened in September 2010, and after 13 years of business in downtown Fairhope, the owners, Doug and Brie Kerr, decided to move the restaurant to a new location on South Section Street. Dragonfly Foodbar is known for its unique tapas, Asian-inspired dishes, and funky tacos. They also have a new location, Dragonfly Tavern, in Daphne, AL. This funky restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its fusion of Mexican and Asian flavors. They're well-known for their tacos, salads, rice, and noodle bowls, each dish boasting a creative twist. Some menu items can be quite spicy, so don't hesitate to ask your server for recommendations if you're sensitive to heat. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and kids' options, ensuring there's something for everyone. And, let's not forget their impressive selection of seasonal craft beers and creative cocktails! On our recent visit, we started with the pork Pork Skins and Queso, which is not something I would normally order, but my honey thought it sounded interesting. They were indeed quite good and went well with my craft beer :-) For entrees, I went with the Spicy Shrimp bowl with Fried Basmati Rice, Mushroom, Dill, Jalapeno, and Fried Egg which was very tasty. She had the Spicy Red Curry Coconut Chicken bowl which is Chicken, Jalapeno, Edamame, Asian Pesto, and Udon Noodles which was quite good. Bottom line: The service was excellent, the food was reasonably priced and tasty, and overall was a pleasant dining experience, we'll return. Recommended!!

    This was one of the worst meals we have ever had. We ordered the smash burger, which is "chefs choice" each night and how could we go wrong?? The sauce on it was one of the worst things I have ever tasted. Could not eat any of the burger, not to mention half was burnt but the inside was a little raw. The wings use to be a go to on every order dine in or carry out. I am not sure what changed but the wings were so fragile that tiny pieces of bone were breaking off and seemed a little scary to eat. Also, who changed the sauce? It is not near as good. Both went in the trash. We also ordered an oyster taco but by the time we had tried the wings and burger we were over it. Very sad especially since this was our first time having Dragonfly since they moved. Order placed for CO 9/10. The lady who took our order was extremely sweet.

    The flavors never disappoint. My waitress tonight was so great. I sat on the patio and she never forgot me outside.

    I was so blown away (and not because hurricane Helene was passing close by)! I'm staying at a nearby resort, and the food here is far and away better (and it costs less)! It's some of the best food I've ever had, and now I'm sad because there isn't one near me. You can taste the fresh ingredients, and the balance of flavors is just perfect! That goes for the drinks too! This place deserves awards, but also, I want it to stay a little undiscovered and accessible . BUT IT SHOULD HAVE ALL THE AWARDS! I need to go back and eat my way through the menu.

    After reading some positive Yelp reviews, I decided to stop by here and try out the tacos. I was super intrigued by the fusion concept and wanted to try it for myself. This place was packed during the lunch rush and when we arrived, almost every single table was filled. We ended up finding a table outside, which worked out perfectly for us. Service was a little slow and it took awhile for us to get our food, but like I said, it was packed during the lunch rush. I ordered three tacos: braised pork, duck, and firecracker shrimp. Of the three, the braised pork was the most underwhelming. It lacked strong flavors, but the meat was cooked well. The firecracker shrimp and duck tacos were soooo good though--both super flavorful and unique, and the flavors were really complementary. As an FYI, this place charges a 3% service charge if using a credit card, so either be prepared to pay or bring cash.

    The food and drinks have always been delicious here but it's a bit pricey for tacos but definitely worth it. My fave is the oyster tacos.

I ask the cashier to put the onion and cilantro on the side and as you can see, they put it on the taco. I asked the cashier if my sauce came with it and he said yes, but I didn't have any in my bag or in the plate. it was almost $50 bucks for some street tacos which in my opinion is a lot. With that being said it is a bit over priced and not really a lot of flavor in the food. And the Horchata came pre bottled and it tasted watered down. The Birria tacos were cool nice and tender but again needed some more flavor. 4/10 Clean, and food presentation - points for: Not a lot of flavor, food was dry, no sauce, and didn't follow directions.

Some would say even better than Mexico's (me I say that.) it's also a fairly known fact that even getting as far as Los Angeles, the Mexican food quality drops significantly. So you can imagine my hopes not being very high in coming to Alabama and receiving good Mexican food. After a good 20 minutes of deliberation, I looked at taco fiesta's menu and it is the most reminiscent of a San Diego taco shop. So I said let's give 'er a whirl. Imagine my utter shock and disbelief when I bit into the Carnitas burrito... flavorful, juicy, both red and green sauces packing an absolute home run with flavor and spice both. My man got the birria quesadilla and a couple of tacos. I also got the beans from my burrito on the side just in case.... Some of these states be having some weird ass beads. But no... Absolute perfection. I will be returning to this spot over and over and over again, my only ask is to put a fish taco on the menu and look into Machaca. You put those on the menu and you have my undying loyalty and devotion. Stamp of approval from an Honorary Mexican from San Diego. Love you.

A party of 30-35 people all still in full wedding attire flooded in around the same time, and the staff handled everything with incredible grace and expertise. Not a single order was messed up, and every guest was taken care of beautifully. The team that night Noel, Bella, Natalie, Sadie, and Brigs was outstanding. They truly felt like a local extension of our family. Beyond serving delicious tacos and making sure everyone was happy, they went above and beyond: signing our wedding cards with the sweetest, most thoughtful notes, and even snapping photos of the wedding party to capture those special moments. It was truly phenomenal and made the night even more memorable. We've loved Taco Mama for years and have never had a bad experience here. If there's ever been the tiniest issue (which is rare), the managers and team are immaculately on point in rectifying it right away. Brigs and the other managers worked out all the logistics with us ahead of time, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for fresh, tasty food in a fun atmosphere or need a spot that can handle a big group like a wedding party with warmth and professionalism Taco Mama Daphne is the place. We can't recommend them enough! Thank you to the entire team for making our special night unforgettable.

Coming from Tucson the bar is set a bit high but we came in with hopeful expectations. Our approach was to try a couple of go to items, barbacoa and steak bowls with a few of the extras. We decided to put a few on the free adds on the side so we could manage the taste as we discovered the plus and minus of them. All in all here were our likes and dislikes - Likes - Nice atmosphere, clean and welcoming Easy to find and good parking Lots of choices on their menu for across the board options Dislikes - The products we recieved were heavy on sodium, could not finish The steak was thin cut and not overly generous Most of the sides were OK but not game winners Generally speaking the sides were average We were underwhelmed, price was reasonable, portions were AA but the taste was a game breaker - no go. Sadly we will not return and will continue our search for a go spots in the Daphne and Fairhope areas.
