Who ever owns the place now has their stuff together. I've been there several times over the last few months every time I really enjoyed the meal. Place is tasteful decorated in a festive Mexican theme, service was fast and efficient. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. I had the lunch fijatis, if I had any issue it would have been you only get 2 tortillas with the meal, I'm positive I could have ask for more. Also had one of the top shelf margaritas, would have had another except I was alone, so no one to drive. Really good margarita. This place is by far the BEST Mexican Restaurant in the Gardendale Fultondale area. All the others could close and not be missed.

We placed our order and were given a pager to let us know when our order would be ready. We ordered queso birria tacos, chips and salsa and a chicken burrito. The quesa Birria tacos were good. Not great but good. There was a decent amount of beef but the tacos were not overly stuffed. The consommé or soup was a little oily but not bad. 4/5 The chicken burrito was very good. It had a good amount of meat and was seasoned well. 5/5 The chips and salsa were a disappointment. The chips were great. The salsa had way too much sugar. I ate two bites and stopped due to the high sugar content. I thought I had pics of the chips and salsa but I don't. 3/5 Overall my experience was good. I prefer Catrinas. 4/5

I had a frozen margarita. I had the lighter version of it. Let me just say that they are not skimpy on the food or the drinks. I'm glad that I got the lighter version of the drink, as it was just right and the alcohol portion was perfect! The portion size of both the food and drinks were great. The server was also wonderful and our food came out very quickly. They also give you salsa and chips. The salsa was very good! I plan to try their queso dip the next time.
