King Burrito (Huge Portion)
Netta M.

Enjoyed the food here. Service was a bit on the slower end during our visit. We ordered margaritas, but they never came. This was probably a good thing due to the very generous portions of food we received. I don't think I could've stomached a margarita! Had we known how large the portions were, we would've just stuck with the appetizers or entrees - not both! Lol.

Birria tacos
Neema K.

First of all, let me start off by saying that I have been on the hunt for Birria tacos in Birmingham for a longggggg time, so when my good friend told me that this place had them, I was all in! The birria tacos were worth the hype!! The flavor was unmatched and the consume that's intended to be used as a dip was immaculate. I would 100% try them again and any other food this amazing restaurant has to offer. Giving 4 stars because I feel like the margaritas were watered down and didn't have enough tequila in them and the cheese dip was a little off; not bad, just off. But that's honestly just personal preference. Overall, a great place to try authentic Hispanic cuisine.

My brother and I went for dinner and it was packed. We were a bit disappointed with the chips, salsa, and cheese dip. The salsa was a bit watery and the chips had a weird taste. However, we also got the carne asada fries and they were delicious and definitely shareable. I ended up getting the birria tacos and they were good. Will definitely give this place another try.

Delicious Queso and chips!

This place is not the fanciest joint. We went to have our first birria experience. Couple of things: the wait staff was very friendly! She admonished my excitement! I had a strawberry margarita with patron and it was gewd! The cheese dip I can tell has real heavy cream in it...we thoroughly enjoyed. Now for the main event. The Birria!!! They were ok. They were not great. The consume needed some acidity to punch the flavor. It was not served with lime and afterwards I thought it would helped with the flavor. The brisket used is very tender but could use a bit more flavor. Would I go back again...yes. I would try something else on the menu related to seafood. They seem to have a lot of dishes that looked great with seafood! Order a side of limes if you order the birria tacos and add to your consume...

Ceviche - raw Talapia with lime and spicy, with cilantro cucumbers tomatoes. Also orange slices. So healthy!

This is a pretty informal place, the tortilla chips were not tasty at all. I did like my entrée, Tilapia Ceviche. My water was not refilled often or at all. The waitress was friendly though.

Authentic Mexican restaurant with an extensive menu and really good prices. I stopped into this place today because I was craving Mexican. Glad I did. It's not all gastronomy meets tacos, which is a theme that's sort of getting a little played out. It is however a good, solid Mexican restaurant that surely has something on the menu for everyone. They do a lunch buffet for 10 bucks until 3pm, which I narrowly missed but it turned out to be ok because I ordered from the menu and for about the same price I got more food than I could eat. There's tons of seating, a full bar, and the crew seemed really friendly. My food came out quick and was delicious. I ordered a steak chimichanga and it was fried to perfection. The steak was above average and exceeded my expectations....especially given the price. It is a little bid hidden in a strip mall off Lorna Rd near the intersection with Rocky Ridge Rd, but it's worth looking for. With so many Mexican restaurants around it can be hard to distinguish one from another. Basically, the food was hot, seemed fresh, and the menu had a massive variety of things that you don't find everywhere. Add that to the friendly service and the really good prices and you got a winner.

I came for the birria tacos, i had seen many reviews of them being good and wanted to try for myself. I found this place that had them. They were ok, I had higher expectations. The dipping sauce was basically grease and I only ate half of one, they give you three. The staff was excellent but it was just a miss for me.

I am very pleased to share my latest discovery here in Hoover. Los Pedros Mexican Grill is located in the strip center at the corner of Lorna Road and Rocky Ridge Road. I refer to the area as "little Mexico" because of the cluster of residents, shops, and restaurants that are concentrated in this part of town. Los Pedros is different from most Mexican restaurants. They offer a lunch buffet from 11:00-3:00 for $10. I was impressed with the buffet. There are two serving tables. The first table contains a variety of hot foods. The options included: rice, re-fried beans, tamales, fried tortilla topped with chorizo sausage, beef fajitas and chicken fajitas. Also, there are some authentic dishes that I was not familiar with. These included nopales rellanos (cactus), meat balls, beef stew, chilli rellanos, and a noodle dish with shrimp (similar to a Chinese stir fry). Our waitress recommended the homemade chicken soup, and it was quite tasty. The second serving table contained fruit, vegetables, and a jello dessert. This table also included sliced limes, chopped onions, and cilantro as condiments. You can serve yourself from a variety of salsas (two red and two green) that were flavorful and spicy. The restaurant was pretty crowded for lunch on Wednesday. The clientele was primarily male, and I estimate 90% Hispanic. The diners appeared to be mostly blue collars workers with big appetites. The kitchen did a great job of keeping the demand. Festive Mexican music was blaring from the sound system, but I didn't mind. It made the experience feel very much like a Mexico City restaurante.

Today I had lunch with my friend and fellow Yelper, Paul, who also wrote a very good review about Los Pedros. Los Pedros is tucked away in a shopping center on corner of Rocky Ridge and Lorna. We were surprised to find that they offered an all you can eat buffet for $10. Our waitress even brought us complimentary chips and salsa after she took our drink order. The chips were better than most. They were freshly fried and even slightly warm. We hit the buffet and piled our plates. I sampled about 80% of the buffet. My favorites were the cactus fried with scrambled eggs, the fried tortilla topped with chorizo and a dollop of sour cream, and their stir fried noodle with shrimp and broccoli. All tasted delicious with a myriad of flavors. I also enjoyed sampling their different salsas. The 2 "red" salsas were flavorful but HOT. There was another "avocado" salsa which was creamier and sour. It was unique experience for me because I've never tasted a salsa like that before. Then I tried their salsa verde. Wow it tasted fantastic, but was it HOT! When I put a few sprinkles of it on the cactus/scrambled eggs and ate it with their Mexican rice... YUM! Their deserts included various cold fruits including cantaloupe, papaya, and pineapple. They also had what looked like a huge birthday cake that was very elaborately decorated. I completely forgot to try it because I was so full from trying everything else. That is one of the reasons I will return. One thing worth mentioning about their buffet is that their *hot* serving table was only so big and they seem to "rotate" dishes. That is, when we first arrived, they had their cactus/egg dish. But about 15 minutes later when I went back, instead of the cactus/egg, they had the stir fried shrimp with brocolli. I also noticed that when their papaya ran out, they brought out pineapple. In other words, if you want to try *all* their food, you may want to pace yourself and get a table near the buffet serving tables. Service was excellent. As Paul mentioned, it was pretty busy for a Wednesday lunch crowd. There was plenty of help with many waitresses busily walking around. It was easy to get anyone's attention despite the loud music. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The $10 all you can eat buffet price is very reasonable for the variety and quality of food you will receive. Check out Los Pedros. If you're dying for a specific burrito, they can probably make it for you, but if you want to sample a few different dishes and have a good hour to eat, try their buffet.

So I went to this location wanting to eat their tacos after so many great reviews from friends and family members on social media. I ended up inviting some family members on a Saturday. In short it was nothing like what friends have been raving about. I have been deceived! I was expecting street tacos smothered with the meat on their double layer tortillas cooked in the meat juices like how they show on social media. All the adults ordered tacos, which as you can see from the picture I shared, it came with one homemade tortilla, which was falling apart and was just warm and eventually got cold. I ended up ordering 4 different tacos, barbacoa, al pastor, steak milanesa and tripa,the meat was not to my liking at all. There was no flavors were not all that. I believe the only one I actually liked a little bit more was the barbacoa, which had a better flavor to it. The other tacos were a disappointment, I felt the al pastor was not truly cooked all the way, the steak milanesa was hard almost jerky like with no flavor and the tripa was just so wrong, being that it was only boiled, it taste awful if they do not fry it afterwards. Not only was the tacos disappointing but my daughter chorizo fries were not tasty and she was not a fan. My niece had the shrimp plate and as you can see form the picture they look overcooked and were very chewy. The aguas were decent but were a little bland to my liking. Almost all of us ended up not eating the food and was just a waste of money. I really don't expect returning anytime knowing there are better out there.

Whole roach and pieces of bug in chips

I'll just go ahead and cut to the chase, don't waste your time or more importantly your money here. The few times I've been here the food has always been sub par, luke warm and tasteless. Today was the final straw when there was a roach and pieces of roaches in our chips. The waitress was kind about it but the manager/owner didn't do anything about it. Didn't even come to the table to apologize. The place is just disorganized. The "carne azada" tasted like it had been chillin' in the freezer for months. Like I said in the beginning don't waste your hard earned money here. Taco bell isn't that far down the street. Last time my family and I will be there.

So this has been on my list and I finally came here on a Thursday evening with my son. It's at the end of a shopping center where a Walmart is. We got there about 5:30 PM. It was not busy at all. We were promptly greeted by a hostess that sat us in a booth. We started off with the chips and salsa, but on the menu it does say after two baskets they will charge you for the chips and salsa. We only had one. The chip could've been a little thinner. It's rude to find a raspberry margarita so I wanted to get one unfortunately they didn't have any frozen ones. They were just on the rocks. I was pretty shocked when I looked at the receipt and saw that it was $17 for a Margarita and it definitely wasn't worth that much. It had kind of a weird taste to it. We did get the cheese dip and it was very delicious. I decided to try the Mexican lasagna, which was so delicious. I got it with the beef and it was layers of ground beef, pico beans, and possibly some rice too. It was a good portion and I ended up bringing the other half home. My son ended up getting nachos with shrimp, chicken and steak and he really enjoyed it and finished his whole plate. I will definitely be back sooner than later because I love some good Mexican food, but I will probably end up getting just a soda next time. Fernando was our waiter and he was very attentive. I will say the restaurant in the bathrooms were clean. There's only one bathroom each for men and women. I would think it a restaurant this big they would have more stalls.

There is plenty of outdoor seating along the street and on a side patio. Dogs are always welcome in the outdoor areas. Indoor seating is also available, and there is a full-service bar. Today I had the Shrimp Taco Plate. The two flour tortillas are topped with three large grilled shrimp. The shrimp are then topped with pineapple mango salsa, cilantro-lime crema and Tajin seasoning. I thought the combination worked very well, and would recommend it. The Margaritas are good, and I especially like the Tajin rim.

My friends and I's food was coming out cold. My friend's quesadilla's cheese looked melted at one point, but it looked cold. The ground beef on my nachos seemed under seasoned and cold. My other friend's taco and tater tots only came out with ketchup so he just used ketchup on his taco. The odd thing I saw tonight was that the restaurant allowed or at least didn't say anything to the table next to us that brought in pizzas from Vecchia next door.
