Bland. Near zero spice if any in salsa, the Burrito Grande or the shrimp entree my wife ordered. Burrito Grande on menu stated chicken or beef with red sauce. No mention of any veggies, rice, beans in any of the burritos and for good reason - no other ingredients . $16.75 for a burrito containing chicken and sauce. Same with my wife's shrimp dish, a few tortillas containing shrimp and bland sauce, as if the cook opened a can of Mexican red sauce purchased at a grocery store and called it a night. Lots of Mexican restaurants in our area, will not be returning to this one. read more

Made a To-Go order chicken and rice and a small cup of queso. 28$ was the total.. chicken and rice wasn't bad but wasn't 28$ good

My dad and I went here to get lunch and wasn't crowded at all so we thought we'd eat here. I don't recommend eating here. It needs to have a health inspection. I found a metal.. METAL big long piece in my salsa !! We told the main manager politely. And he said what do you want us to do about it ... like what do you mean?? Then continues to tell us it accidentally fell in because it's by the cleaning area. So your telling me the salsa and the food is by cleaning products. This is a respectful post read more

Did not have a great experience. Food took forever and when I got it it was cold. The drinks were ok. The waitress literally had my plate put in the microwave and then brought it back out with a sorry we are busy response. Was not a good first impression. read more

Chips.. not that good. Salsa. Pretty ok. Guacamole- pretty bad. Margaritas - overpriced and not well balanced. Cheese dip just average. For the price I'd try somewhere else. read more

I had a taco salad and it was awful. I orderd a taco salad without sour cream and it came with sour cream. It was also my aunt's birthday and we told our server it was her birthday and they did not acknowledge it at all. I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK EVER!!!! read more

Bottom Line (BL): Terrible experience but there isn't a lower than 1 star option. Read below if you want details. Where to begin. Well we're in Huntsville AL and our hosts were thrilled to take us to this establishment. Upon arrival we noticed that the restaurant is only about half occupied with guests, so our expectations for great service and noteworthy cuisine was only elevated. We were sat almost immediately, then the chips and drink order were placed. The margaritas arrived and we placed our order and that's where the train departed the tracks. One in our group ordered chimichangas, but when we asked for one to be chicken, and the other beef, the perplexed look on the servers face necessitated a follow up question on our part. Us: "The menu says they are beef or chicken... that is correct right?" Server: "Yes?" Oh man. Another in our party asked for a number 19... the server (Arnold) promptly wrote it down and split! Us: "Hey Arnold, wait!" Server: "Yes?" Us: "Can we get that in chicken?" Server: "Get what in chicken?" Us: "The 19, the taco enchilada combo" Server: "No" Us: ... Server: ... Us: um... Server: "Well what does the menu say" Us: "It says, available in chicken or beef" Luckily we didn't have any further awkward encounters with Arnold for the remaining hour we were there. In fact we didn't have any encounters with anyone for an hour. So we left and found dining elsewhere. read more

I absolutely love this place I recommend this place to everyone. Food portions are unbelievable big and the drinks are to die

This restaurant was quite big! I came with a few friends to celebrate one of their birthdays and it was great! The customer service was excellent with the waiter being sure to attend us all and being quite fun! He was really helpful with anything we needed. The food was excellent and they have a good variety of vegetarian dishes. I highly recommend coming! They accept reservations and have bands playing from time to time! The margaritas are also very good and huge. Such a great deal! read more

One of the workers spilled my moms entree all over her lap and a manager never even came out to apologize. Not to mention they had us move tables and left the mess all over the table and floor and took them over an hour to finally clean it up. When the bill came out her entree wasn't taken off and they never even offered a dessert on the house. It just seems like the managers don't rlly care about their guests. read more

Went for dinner on Saturday. Queso was thin - the consistency of water, enchiladas were like warm and nothing more than some pieces of chicken put in a tortilla covered in salsa. Others didn't find their food particularly good, fresh, or hot. read more

We used to love this place. However, the last couple of visits here were enough to convince me not to come back. The food quality wasn't as good but most of all their prices have skyrocketed. Definitely not worth the money for Mexican food you get. I ordered a Cozumel burrito and a small cheese dip for lunch (no drink) and it cost over $30!! read more

Something most people would not think of trying in a Mexican Restaurant is the shrimp cocktail. Los Trojas has the best around. Lots of avocado, 14 huge shrimp in a cold spicy tomato cocktail. The only thing that can make this better is if I am doing Paint Nite with Christina. I have reservations in for another round of fun and yum! I have seen people complain about the wait. I have never had this problem. The quality of the food is met with a wonderful wait staff. Maybe those people were expecting fast food Instead of a dining experience? I only know that it is the best around. read more

We travel to Huntsville to work several times a year. We have eaten at Las Trojas Cantina many times. But, the prices have risen drastically and the quality of the food and service has declined. I ordered a fajita quesadilla cost almost $12 on the A Le' carte portion of the menu and was bland with no taste. At the Mexican restaurants we often frequent in our home area the same dish on A le'carte menu is $4.99 including veggies. The same including veggies at Las Trojas $18. Most likely my family's last visit. read more

Las Trojas was not staffed to take care of customers. The restaurant was under staffed for COVID 19 restrictions. The staff didn't have English speaking staff . I got sick immediately. Yep, I was able to recover from nasty experience. I believe that the problem was NOT mine, The restaurant need's English speaking staff. I believe that I am owed an apology, and that I am owed a meal. And.... The issue needs a cook. I am not sure how long it has been sold or changed, I guess my understanding pf the prices they charge. Just wondering if the staff are paid more for ignoring my request for Las Trojas, and staffing of the restaurant, read more

This is a great restaurant. Their salsa is good, chips are good and the food is good. I especially love their angel plate which is a huge burrito fried in a huge flour tortilla with chorizo spicy pork, grilled chicken, grilled steak, grilled shrimp with grilled onions. Then smothered in queso. Wow. Has a little of everything and is super tasty and just around $10. It's a full meal. The wait staff is informative, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is large restaurant that is clean and well decorated. Prices are good and won't break the bank. Good job guys, keep up the good work! read more

Ask for Ricardo! He's the most awesome server. The Las Trojas on 53 used to be my hangout spot during the weekends. Now, I'm hooked to this location. Much more spacious, their menu has more varieties and I love the atmosphere. The Chimichanga Special ( 1 beef, 1 chicken & 1 shrimp),Quesdilla Azteca ( Beware of the peppers), Texas nachos and Steak Tropical (Massive portion) are my favorites! The food is always good. I've never had any complaints. If you're looking for a good Tex-Mex place, here it is. read more

The best Mexican food I've ever had. And bring your appetite because the portions are enough for two.

I ordered some horchata and it was not great it tasted like beer it was horrible 0/10 do not come here.

I always get the same thing, quesadilla hawaiana, and it never disappoints. The menu is a little pricey compared to how it used to be, but if you go during their lunch hours (which end at 3pm), the prices are much more reasonable. Also the salsa that comes with the chips is one of the best compared to the other restaurants in the area. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - quesadilla hawaiana - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Alabama

The decor and ambience of this place is awesome. Just a fun, relaxing, newly built Mexican restaurant. Very spacious and comfortable, with a good ol' boy playing acoustic guitar and singing. The waitress was friendly and very polite. The chips and salsa was pretty tasty, but I've had better. She kindly brought us out some hot salsa to go with the medium standard they served initially. I'm not a drinker, but my co-worker's Margarita looked delicious and was as big as your head! I ordered the beef/chicken combo fajitas and the flavor was great, with adequate toppings. My only complaint was the amount of meat was a bit lacking compared to all the peppers and onions. There was only one other negative - I witnessed one of the male waitstaff leave the restroom without washing his hands! At least it was only #1, and he was not our server. But llavarse los manos por favor! Correct that problem and serve a little more meat with the fajitas, and it would've been a 5 star rating. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - Great decor inside and out! - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Alabama

I had the worst experience ever here at Las Trojas Cantina, I got the fresh guacamole that was post to be prepared in front of me as advertised and it wasn't, I got the chicken nachos, the chicken was over cooked, the cheese dip sauce was water consistency , was told it was post to look like water milk. read more

Tons of drink options! It was almost overwhelming, but our waitress was very helpful in letting us know her recommendations. The food came out after a normal wait, not exceptionally quick but not slow. It was delicious! The wait staff were all very kind. I'd love to eat here again in the future. read more

Love this place! It's always consistent and the food is always fresh. Salsa is great and the staff is great! The fajita nachos are huge! Lots of meat and veggies and plenty to share! On some nights they have trivia or a live band. The bar prices are great and the margaritas are even better. My favorite is the tropical margarita. Order a pitcher and share it amongst friends. They also have great cheese dip! Another favorite is the tres amigas. If you are hungry and want to split something, try out Angels plate. It's a massive burrito with fajita meats, shrimp and chorizo. It's smothered in cheese dip and is quite a site to behold. They also have daily specials and drink specials. They stay packed on the weekends. The lunch menu is expansive and you can be in and out in under an hour. Also, it's only 7 minutes outside of Gate 9, for my contractor folks! read more

Honestly only went for the trivia, and won't even go there for that anymore. WAY too overpriced for cheap Mexican food. $15 just for a vegetarian meal (spinach enchiladas) and $13 just for cheese and chicken (pollo loco, which didn't have enough cheese on it anyways. Long story short, $50 for 1 beer each and food is ridiculous. On top of bad service, (I had to show her on the menu that they even had veggies as a side)I could go to a 5 star restaurant with much better quality food. We will never be back. And asked for fresh chips and she took the basket and never came back, leaving our cheese dip to freeze and still charged us for it. Honestly the list could keep going. read more

Very good food. I like the bean and cheese nachos. They want us is very good also as well.

Wow we went around 10 Friday night and was shocked how bad the food was. I thought Alabama so had limitations of greatness. I was amazed how a combo one was small for 15 bucks but cold tortilla and some flavorless filling. Rice was flavorless, beans seemed from a can. The margaritas were good big strong so I guess it's about drinking and not food med margarita was 15 seemed a lot for a mug of ice but that had good flavor salt rum done correct, had the option of sugar rim. All in all better food option at taco bell or the mex places 2 miles east. They at least serve hot food with better flavor. read more

10.19.19 This won't be a good review. I should explain, we are moving here from Chicago. We brought an other trailer load of tools, motorcycles, personal stuff that would cost to much for movers to move here. We have done this now 4 x's already. Why is this important as far as were we are from? Well because chicago doesn't just have 4-5 of 1 kind of restaurant, it has hundreds mexican restaurants, hundreds of asian, hundreds of pizza place, hundreds of indian. We also have been told not to compare the two places but to look at it as the standard for here not up there. So here we go. This restaurant was clean , great staff, friendly.,but the food was sub par. Rice and refried beans tasted as if they came out of a can. Salsa, was ok but it was just some kind of sauce from a jar. It didnt have any vegetable piece in there, you could of used on a pizza. Carna Asada was was a good piece of meat but it wasn't charred like I'm used to. They could of boiled it in a frying pan for all I know. My wife ordered to corn flautas, ( she doesn't eat gluten) They brought out two made with flour. She complained and they sent an other one out I believe also made with flour. To be fair maybe it wasn't. The margarita's were great. The prices were out of line with what your getting but WTF, RIGHT? read more

Some of the best Mexican in town. That's saying a lot considering that, in Madison, Alabama, we LOVE our Mexican food! I highly recommend ordering cheese dip, and their chicken soft tacos. read more

We came to celebrate a birthday tonight. We were seated in the area to the right and crammed in. We ordered drinks 10 minutes before food. Somehow our food came out before our drinks. Then when the food arrived, only 3 of the 4 plates came out. We had to ask 3 different people for the 4th person's food. They finally brought it out 15 minutes after the rest. When the drinks did arrived they were watered down where they had obviously sat at the bar. They were also incorrect. When we asked to correct our waitress became very sassy. We stepped to the bar at the beginning and told the waitress it was our friends birthday. She agreed to do something but never followed through. Service was crap, food was decent, drinks were terrible. Will probably never be back. Thanks Las Trojas for ruining a good time and someone's actual birthday. read more

The food was cold, didn't taste good, and was overpriced. It wasn't because it was too busy. Will NOT be coming back. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Drinks were way overpriced but good. read more

The food was okay however the waitress was one the worse we ever had. She could not be bothered with us. Not a smile. I called to find out if they had a margarita special and was told it was $2.00 off. When we got there she said no special on Margaritas. After arguing with her and starting to get out of the booth she said she was going to check. She came back even worse then before and gave us our discount. Grumpy staff. read more

The chicken fajitas meat was pre-cooked and had zero flavor .. portions were great but most likely because it was just left over meat from whatever: the waitress was really good and good ambiance .. so best to order ANYTHING but chicken fajitas if you go. read more

Meh Environment was traditional. They had bingo and other games going. Food was traditional American Mex. Service was so-so/lack-luster. I had the shredded chicken nachos good at first but boring by the end. I had shredded chicken nachos. They only came with cheese chicken and chips. I felt nutritionally deprived by the end. read more

Horrible service, terrible carne asada and the management would rather insult you then take care of you. We had a waiter who was in the weeds with a large party so we gave him a lot of slack. The food came out and it was absolutely horrible from the tasteless tacos to the shoe leather they serve as carne asada. The waiter finally asked why we were not eating and we told him the food was not good. He leaves and the manager shows up and would not do anything about the food. After several minutes of discussion he told my wife she was rude for complaining and asked her "if you don't like my food then why did you come to my restaurant?" It was our first time in and I guarantee it will be our last. The manager is an absolute asshole and should not be dealing with the public. read more

Lisa, Corbin and I have eaten at Los Trojas Cantina on University Drive countless times and have never had a bad meal. It's our favorite Mexican restaurant and, since it opened, I don't think we've eaten at a different Mexican restaurant. Pros: * The restaurant is enormous and the tables and booths are very comfortable. * Free Chips and Salsa for all guests * Huge food portions * Attentive Staff members * Free Trivia Competitions one night a week, with gift certificate prizes * Delicious Food * Ridiculously large menu with hundreds of choices, including some pretty exotic items! * Lunch specials * Extensive Drink menu, including Magarona - Margarita with a Corona Beer in it. * Daily Specials * The Fiesta Plate meal ($12.99) is more than enough for Lisa and I to share, with left overs! Cons * The parking lot isn't that big, so it can be difficult to find parking during peak times. Many people park in Ruby Tuesday's lot next door and walk over. * Free Trivia Competitions - If you come during trivia time, you have no chance of having a peaceful meal as the trivia questions are broadcasted over a loud speaker * The vast majority of the staff members aren't native English speakers, so I've had one or two occasions where there was a language barrier. * This is very much Americanized-Mexican food. If you're looking for more authentic Mexican food, you may be disappointed. * DO NOT TRY TO GO ON May 5th - Cinco De Mayo - It is a zoo and you will wait forever for a table - I know this from experience. * I've never seen a discount or coupon, because they honestly don't need to discount. If you like Mexican food, be sure to give this place a try! It's much better than any other Mexican restaurant in the area - yes, I'm pointing at YOU Casablanca!!! read more

The old Surie has a new look and new concept, why not have a mexican place near Casa Blanca? This place is really good, like the other ones I have been too. I came here with my grandfather for his birthday a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint. It was busy for a Wednesday night but the place is new so what do you expect? I ordered the Deluxe Quesadilla as I remember it being called with refried beens and rice and it was so fresh and seasoned well, I wanted to order more when I was done. I recommend trying this place if you like Rosies, you might think twice about going there again. read more

Standard Mexican food and average margaritas. The hostess was not very friendly, however our waitress was nice. It's just ok.

Horrible service...for one when the waitress brought the food never said the plate was hot. Then got two of the three orders incorrect with no apologies. Also, when asked for things such as a refill didn't respond and was very slow. Furthermore, the food wasn't good. I do not recommend this place at all. read more
