Took a risk on a random spot in a town I haven't been to in over 10 years and struck gold…read more Driving from Nashville down to Birmingham and landed in Hartselle right at lunch time. Decided to go Mexican. It's a tiny bit sketchy looking on the outside being in a strip mall front, but Don Alejo has so much character. The inside is beautiful with an intricate floor plan and DIY wood features. Table lights were so pretty with that opaque stained glass look. Tables and booths were clean and had nice style. Staff was fast and nice. I don't care if they make the greatest quesadilla of all time, if their chips and salsa aren't good, it's not a good spot. This place nailed both. They use the thicker, denser chips that I love and the salsa was perfect consistency and had a great flavor. Not too spicy, not too bland. Just right to throw back 50 chips before the food gets out. Prices were insanely cheap. 3.50 for a chicken quesadilla. Tell me the last time you got multiple entrees at a sit down spot and got out for less than 7 dollars! Quesadillas were on the smaller size but I'd gladly pay 3.50 for them. Really good amount of cheese and chicken on them and it tasted great. Good on these guys man. They knocked it out of the park at 1:30 on a Friday afternoon. If I so happen to take another detour to Hartselle, I will be giving them more business

Hidden down a hallway on the back of La Monarca Supermarket in Decatur, Alabama is a small taqueria…read morethat is producing some truly wonderful tacos and other Mexican favorites. I entered the supermarket and saw a crudely made sign that said taqueria and entered a hallway with another sign that said taqueria with an arrow pointing me further down the hall. It led me to a simple room with a few tables and a smiling woman sitting at a cash register. The room was a bit spartan, but I always have said that the best Mexican food comes from these humble little mom-and-pop type places and not some plave heavy on atmosphere and ambiance. This place had cheap tables, but pleasant (though cheap) prints hanging on the wall. I took a menu and found a table. The woman came and with the same pleasant smile, she said she spoke very little English. I smiled and said I spoke very little Spanish. I was able to order with no problem by pointing at the menu. I ended up ordering five tacos. I ordered chorizo, asada, carnitas, cabeza and barbacoa. They brought me very good bean dip and tortilla chips to start with. The tacos were very good, as well. They brought a red sauce and green sauce with the tacos and both were good, though the green was pretty impressive. All in all, this was a great experience and if you find yourself in Decatur, Alabama, I would definitely recommend here.

This was our first visit. There were 4 tables full and 2 people at the bar when we got there. We…read morewere seated right away. We ordered the chorizo cheese dip. It was delicious. The service was really fast. I forgot to get the actual "mexican" name for the dishes we had. So here goes... I had Carne asada with bacon, peppers and onions. It was really delicious. It came with beans, rice and flour tortillas. My husband had steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas. This is why I gave 4 stars...it comes with chorizo but he didn't want that. He wanted the chorizo replaced with chicken. The waitress confirmed several times what he wanted. He also doesn't like rice, so he always gets no rice, extra beans. When he got his meal it had chorizo and he got rice and beans. We sent it back to get the chicken instead. We didnt send the rice back, my daughter ate it. His food was very tasty and came out sizzling. The steak was tender and cooked just right. My daughter had the birria tacos. She got 3 tacos, with dipping sauce. No beans or rice. They were also delicious. We finished our meal with fried ice cream and it didn't disappoint. Itw was crispy on the outside and frozen in the middle. It was served in a fried flour tortilla with caramel, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was big enough for all of us to share. We will definitely go back when we are in the area. The food was delicious but just a little disappointed that she didnt get the order right.

One order was original tacos and we received country so I called back and offer to bring the box back to show them, then the lady told me to wait she was going to call the manager and call me back to see what could be done. I then get a call back asking for proof because the manager had packed it herself. Then I had to take a video and send it. After a while they finally said they would make the correct one.
