This casual restaurant is conveniently located across from the Moss Rock Preserve in Hoover. It's a wonderful restaurant for a bite after a hike through the boulder fields, walk through the Preserve neighborhood, or if you just happen to be in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of outdoor seating along the street and on a side patio. Dogs are always welcome in the outdoor areas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor seating is also available, and there is a full-service bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ehhh...I hate to do this because their Thursday nights trivia and atmosphere is so much fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will give this place another chance because maybe they had a bad night. 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. read more

Moss Rock Tacos & Tequila - Boulder nachos - Bars Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

THIS Restaurant CLOSED. I have always loved this restaurant. I always get à la carte tacos. My son loves the cheese dip and the kids beef taco meal. Unfortunately, this restaurant closed as of the Sunday before Labor Day. I am very disappointed because I would go there about once a week. The space will reopen as a gelato restaurant or store. Not sure when. I try to eat very healthy so gelato is not on my radar. My son doesn't really like gelato/ice cream either. If I'm going to indulge in ice cream, I always go to Bluff Park ice cream. Their ice cream is really good plus they have a rewards system. read more

The handcrafted margaritas were amazing and were the authentic tacos. The service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great place to meet friends for some food and fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Location is cute, food is alright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guacamole was very good - it was super fresh. I ordered the taco salad and was underwhelmed. The pineapple mango salsa doesn't blend well with the other flavors in the bowl. The beef is not very seasoned/flavorful... the cheese on top is what looks like Walmart brand shredded "Mexican cheese." [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is good, patio is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd probably try their tater tot nachos if I came back, but I don't really plan to be back in this area of Hoover soon. read more

The best salsa I've ever eaten! It's a little spicy, savory, but bright and refreshing all at the same time. Their thin, crispy chips are the perfect accompaniment. (Salsa and chips are endless so be sure to ask for more when you run out!) Queso is amazing and creamy as well. They have quite the plethora of taco options. I love that you can pick any two and make it a meal. I opted for the Buffalo chicken taco that includes house made "screaming buffalo" sauce, bleu cheese and queso fresca - emphasis on the screaming because this was ~spicy~. I also got the pescado which includes grilled fish, poblano slaw, pineapple mango salsa & cilantro. I always LOVE the option of a corn tortilla. The rice and black beans were nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. You place your order at the counter then find a seat - very casual. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's eclectically decorated and feels welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outdoor area that'll be great for summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But for now, have dinner there then ride around the Preserve neighborhood (that it's located in) and look at holiday lights! The perfect night right before (and after) all the festivities get started and we get tired of all the rich, savory holiday foods. read more

Burrito was alright. Not anything terribly unique about it. Chips and queso were pretty standard. Not much to rave about unless you're coming here for a marg or tequila. read more

Another Taco Tuesday favorite. Ordered at the counter/bar and they give you a number for your table. Adobo, Buffalo & Gringo were this weeks Two Buck Taco Tuesday special and I chose 1 of each and an small order of Million Peso Queso. Service was a bit slow, not sure if they were short staff or that is typical since this was my first visit. I chose to sit outside as did most of the other patrons and enjoyed a nice pleasant early patio weather day. Queso was pretty typical but good enough that I finished it off. I liked all 3 tacos I tried and would get again. Buffalo was not too much heat and tempered well by the cheeses although I don't think I would like just that choice without another option. I definitely will be back and need to find a reason to be in the area for dinner so I can try the Margaritas and Mexican Burro. read more

This place is the definition of mid. Location is great, but the most blandest food. The ground beef is seasoned to barely nothing. The queso has peppers, can't get it without it. Everything is just blah. I don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

The food and drinks were good. The food was came out pretty fast and was not a long wait. The atmosphere was good and Thursday was trivia night so that was pretty fun. read more

This is a hidden gem in Birmingham! Great location and even better food. Pro tip: order the veggie quesadilla and add chicken or steak. That is by far the best quesadilla in Bham. Another unexpected bonus: their tater tots are perfect every time. I'm continually shocked that they're always good. And why tater tots I don't know but they're amazing. I haven't had anything here I haven't liked. Come enjoy! read more

Food was fine. It had a bit more heat than I would prefer. But it was fresh, well prepared, and plated well. Service was a mixed bag. We were quickly greeted when we entered by a woman behind the bar who gave us our menus, explained the counter service, etc. The food came out promptly. Then, that was the last interaction we had with staff. No one checked on us. We ordered some queso and the chips were pretty clearly from the bottom of their big container. Way too fragmented. I was for sure going to ask whoever came by to check on us to bring some chips that were less pulverized. No one came. No one spoke to us as we left. Wouldn't have been quite so irritating if they had been busier or if, as we left, we didn't pass by 3 or 4 employees chatting it up behind the bar, decided unbusy. read more

Outdoor seating was very spacious and nice. I hope they bring out space heaters for when the weather gets cooler though! Got the ahi tuna, shrimp, and carne tacos. Overall, nothing to write home about. I've had my fair share of authentic street style to upscale American fancy schmancy tacos, and while presentation was a 9/10x the flavors were just not the best combo. Nothing was hitting. I would however recommend the pineapple salsa/ very good. Chips were fresh but mostly crumbs. read more

Came here for the first time to try out the drinks and tacos. Went with the carnitas and al pastor tacos and the old fashioned, and coconut rockarita. The drinks were decent, tasted great, fair priced. Unique margarita options which all seemed quite appealing to try out. The carnitas and al pastor meats were delicious. The sides that came with the tacos were mediocre. Nice location, cool atmosphere (didnt come during a busy daytime, so the place was vacant, but good music in background), good drink menu (fair price), good tacos (ok sides). read more

The food, atmosphere and service here is always top notch. The burgers are some of the best burgers I've ever had anywhere. My go to meal is always the chips and queso with a chorizo taco and an order of street corn cut off the cob with a prickly pear margarita. These are my favorite things! I have tried almost everything on the menu and another excellent choice is the shrimp tacos, highly recommended. read more

Looooovee this place! We stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon after short hike through moss rock. The drinks were delicious and so was the salsa and queso! The staff is also super friendly and accommodating. Made me feel right at home! We also tried the chicken and Buffalo chicken tacos which were pretty tasty but the Buffalo definitely has a KICK to it. I was not prepared lol Overall, a great local spot!

Ate here today with some girlfriends. Location and setting was pretty dope. Place was ducked back in Hoover and had no idea it was back there. Staff was friendly. My frozen margarita was pretty tasty. Food was terrible. Absolutely terrible. Cheese dip was bland and yuck. Guac was bland. MRTT wings were awful!! Flavor was bad and the wings were dry and small. Side of refried beans were not that great either. Pretty disappointed as I ventured out of my norm (location wise) Oh and when I turned my plate in, the young man noticed I had ate only 1 wing. He asked me how I liked the wings and I told him I did not. No one ever followed up with me about that. That was kind of disappointing. read more

A friend and I stopped in for happy hour and sat at the bar. Randall was our bar tender and he was really good! I ordered a glass of their house red (I think it was pinot), which came in a mansion/jelly jar, I didn't care for this wine. I was given a taste of the cab and no luck there. I ended up with a skinny margarita, which was fabulous! We ordered the chips and salsa. The chips are greasy and cold; however, they are still crispy. The salsa is phenomenal. [To go order] I had tacos (inners) over lettuce instead of on the corn shell. This was packaged separately so that I could put it together at home, which I appreciated. It was good. My husband had his tacos w/the shell and wasn't impressed. The beans and rice missed the mark for both of us. The facility is really nice, filled with artistic murals and interesting decor. I'd definitely go back for a salad and cocktails. read more

I've been here several times. It's not bad. Nothing mind blowing but nothing horrible. For some reason their rice always seems just slightly undercooked. Their fish tacos were very flavorful and I enjoyed the mango salsa. Drinks are pretty good.

We tried a chicken quesadilla and chicken and beef tacos. Quesadilla was a little heavy on the meat, which depending on what you prefer, could be a good thing. My fiancé loved the tacos. The portions are pretty large, so come hungry! The best part about this place, aside from the amazing margs, is the location. It is in such a beautiful and quiet area with outdoor seating for pretty days like today. The service was great and I will definitely be back! read more

While the food tasted good, this restaurant needs to rid themselves of the plastic-ware and paper plates they provide their customers. They also should lose the two water coolers and small plastic cups provided for those customers who want water as their preferred drink. The business model of ordering at the counter rather than being seated and having a waiter/waitress serve you negates tipping and lends an air of "cheapness" to the business. This business is more of a "grab and go" food store than a legitimate restaurant. Maybe this atmosphere is what millennials and Gen-Z'ers want but it's not what I think a restaurant should be. read more

I wasn't overly ecstatic about this place. It had major hype and a cult following which to me can be hit or miss. The margs were very good and I loved the salsa and queso. However my tacos were just ok. I got a trio and picked three different ones. I don't even remember which ones were good because the bad one was so over powering. It was a buffalo chicken and it did not have a buffalo flavor. I liked the cool trendy decor but overall it was just an ok experience. read more

We tried to call a day ahead to reserve a table for 12. No one would answer the phone, so we left a voice mail and left a message on Facebook. No one ever returned our call or answered us. Tonight, we showed up, and they did not have a table for us. There was a table reserved for another party. I spoke to the manager, and he would not take responsibility and not even offer an apology. He said he could put a table together for about 7 people. So we're we supposed to tell 5 people sorry you can't join us? [[HIGHLIGHT]]He also said we could sit outside, but it was cold and rainy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately, a couple of folks couldn't make it, so the rest of us crammed ourselves into a corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is ok, but nothing special and overpriced for what you get. I doubt I will ever go there again. read more

So I use to work for food delivery service and kept saying I need to try this place out. It wasn't busy so that was good. I love tacos so I had to try it out. I had the fish tacos and Mexican corn. The corn was so good with the sauce. The fish tacos were ok but I still enjoyed it. I had a margarita which was very good. It hit the spot. I'll definitely come here if I'm in the area. read more

Stopped in here for something to eat before hiking. The menu looks pretty good. I would like to have tried the salads because they sounded great. I got the chicken chimis to start. They were good. Just like southwest egg rolls. We all decided to try the tacos. You can pick as many as you want and mix them up. I got the ahi tuna one. The sauce was really good but otherwise I thought it was kind of bland. It seems that all the tacos are served on soft corn tortillas which I don't care for. I could be wrong but it didn't seem like there was any other choice. Kind of odd for a place with taco in the name. No one seemed all that thrilled with their taco choice, frankly, and we each got something different. Staff were nice enough and they have a nice outdoor seating area. They were very Dogg friendly so I always appreciate that. I'd come back and try again. Would like to try a salad and a cocktail. read more

We have tried this restaurant many times and it has become increasingly worse. Sadly the visit this week will be out last! We went on Monday and it happened to be Kids eat free night. My daughter ordered a beef taco. Simple enough. When it arrived I looked at it and the beef was raw!!! Not just a small bit but a lot, completely raw. How do you miss that!!!!!!!! I finally found a young man in the kitchen and showed it to him he mumbled "that's gross" took it and brought another later. No apology nothing. My other daughter ordered the adult quesadilla which was swimming in grease and inedible. The service was terrible and completely unfriendly. I would love to support them bc I live so close but I am sick of throwing my money away! Drinks are always good! Sadly that's about it. read more

You don't find better tacos in Hoover! The owner/manager is super nice as is the entire staff. Service is good as well. Highly recommend

Great spot and atmosphere. Cold beer next store at their sister restaurant. Tacos were very good sized. Filling! Loved sitting outside. Quick service. Definitely worth going back. Reasonably priced too. Cool hangout. Close to Shades Mountain Park. Family friendly. Enjoyed it. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something non traditional. And if you need a Tums afterwards there is a drugstore next door. read more

Went again. Still hate this place. My husband and I ordered apps and tacos and literally none of the food came out as described on the menu. The tacos didn't have any of the toppings they were supposed to come with, and by the time the server brought the toppings, all the food was cold. Same problem as before with the rice being improperly cooked-- mush mixed with uncooked grains. I've never been to a purported Mexican/Tex-mex/whatever this place is that can't cook rice. The margaritas are still their one saving grace. If you want anything other than queso and margs, skip this place. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Miss Rock Tacos! Sat at the bar. Kayla was out bartender/server and the experience was wonderful. The queso dip and salsa was awesome. I had a salad with steak. The husband had tacos and loved them. Kayla was personable and so nice!! Cant wait to come back! read more

Well where to begin, we ordered 62.00 of food for 2 people and tipped , the only thing hot and fresh was the pork rinds and tater tots which they had to fry. The chicken fajitas were cold and the chicken tasted boiled, no season or grill mark's, the corn tortillas were soaked in grease the two tacos barbacoa and adobo were cold as well as the rice and beans, we went on Sunday around 11:30 we spoke to Kayla who wasn't very helpful and did not have the manager come speak to us even tho he was there. All in all a very very unpleasant experience, we went there because it looked so good on WBRC in the morning. read more

We finished up a hike at Moss Rock and decided to check out this place. Casual set up with picnic tables outside so we could take our dog post-hike!

I was really disappointed in our food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was good - love the design.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First - this is order at the front vs. sit down service. We ask the bartender if we could sit at the bar and eat there. She literally said "yeah" and sighed like we were annoying her. Really rude. We ordered and the food came out fast but the ground beef in my salad was COLD. I had them take it back. Then I ordered a Margarita and ask for top shelf tequila. The drink was almost all mix and it was so tart I couldn't finish it. I won't go back. read more

I live around the corner from this place. After walking around the neighborhood, I stopped in to grab a much needed margarita to go! Was able to take advantage of the Monday margarita special! I got the frozen margarita with sangria (not sure of the name). I haven't had a margarita in weeks... so I absolutely enjoyed this one! If you're in the area, stop in to patronize this little gem. read more

We had just gone for a hike, and wanted something for dinner so we decided to go this cool lookin taco place. we ordered and within about 5 minutes we got our food which was oddly fast, for it being tacos on a Friday night. We got our food and to be honest everything looked discolored. We got the Buffalo tacos and the Barbados tacos, the Barbados ones were rough, black and tasted like rubber and the Buffalo tacos didn't look like Buffalo tacos, and they tasted awful. They were cold and tasted like they had been pre made and thrown in the microwave. We kinda liked the million peso queso, but besides that everything tasted pretty terrible. read more

Tried a few of the tacos today and they are amazing. The veggie taco was my absolute favorite! Bright delicious flavors. Carne asada was my second favorite with great tasting meat, with chicken being my last favorite. The chicken was still very delicious but the spice overpowered some of the other flavors. This restaurant NEVER disappoints read more
