Very disappointing experience. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, and unfortunately it was not good at…read moreall. There were no onions, tomatoes, or jalapeños--it basically tasted like tomato juice with just a few shrimp in it. My husband ordered the chicken quesadillas, which were very greasy and filled with huge chunks of bell peppers, very little chicken, and had almost no flavor. The rice and beans also did not taste homemade or fresh. I also ordered a side of guacamole, and it had seeds in it and absolutely no flavor. Overall, the food was bland, greasy, and very disappointing. We were really looking forward to a good meal, but unfortunately, we left very unsatisfied.

I ask the cashier to put the onion and cilantro on the side and as you can see, they put it on the taco. I asked the cashier if my sauce came with it and he said yes, but I didn't have any in my bag or in the plate. it was almost $50 bucks for some street tacos which in my opinion is a lot. With that being said it is a bit over priced and not really a lot of flavor in the food. And the Horchata came pre bottled and it tasted watered down. The Birria tacos were cool nice and tender but again needed some more flavor. 4/10 Clean, and food presentation - points for: Not a lot of flavor, food was dry, no sauce, and didn't follow directions.

Some would say even better than Mexico's (me I say that.) it's also a fairly known fact that even getting as far as Los Angeles, the Mexican food quality drops significantly. So you can imagine my hopes not being very high in coming to Alabama and receiving good Mexican food. After a good 20 minutes of deliberation, I looked at taco fiesta's menu and it is the most reminiscent of a San Diego taco shop. So I said let's give 'er a whirl. Imagine my utter shock and disbelief when I bit into the Carnitas burrito... flavorful, juicy, both red and green sauces packing an absolute home run with flavor and spice both. My man got the birria quesadilla and a couple of tacos. I also got the beans from my burrito on the side just in case.... Some of these states be having some weird ass beads. But no... Absolute perfection. I will be returning to this spot over and over and over again, my only ask is to put a fish taco on the menu and look into Machaca. You put those on the menu and you have my undying loyalty and devotion. Stamp of approval from an Honorary Mexican from San Diego. Love you.

Unfortunately, it fell a bit short. Small place, which was very warm inside. Service was ok and the ppl are friendly. But the food is pretty average. Chips and salsa, although fresh, lacked flavor. I had the birria tacos and they came out soggy( could not pick them up) and the consommé was pretty oily. Appreciate it's a local company, but overall, just an average food experience. Not bad, just not memorable .

I took a look at their menu and my wife and I decided to try it out. This is definitely where the locals go; it is not a huge place but it was packed on a Monday @ 2:30. We split the Philly and the fresh cut fries. Don't sleep on this place; check it out. Shelley waited on us and she was fun to talk to. They have cheesecake egg rolls; ask about it, folks.

I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26

Feeling Simplistic & still want something filling? Fill up & enjoy their taco salad featuring beef or chicken bedded atop beans rice & guacamole topped with Melted cheese lettuce & tomato. Kids 10 & under can enjoy their choice of taco burrito or enchilada with rice & bean. Taste why Gulf Shores & tourists enjoy where Bomba Tasico Mexican flavor lives here. Fantastic place,Fantastic people. Their Hostess greeted my group & accommodated us showing us their hospitality when we arrived. Starting with serving our tables Chip & Salsa before ordering an entree or app. Servers remained warm & attentive catering towards each patron within our group. Chips and salsa consistency remained unchanged from my previous visit. Retaining their modest crispness containing less oil compared to most competitor's chips while keeping a low sodium content within. Salsa consistency contains a light chunky texture with a mild kick while remaining flavorful. Two other chip dip varieties are available including Queso & Guacamole. Queso's an excellent selection which they execute with perfection remaining constant compared with past visits. Velvety, creamy, & containing a perfect cheese blend having moderate thickness excluding any spice hints appealing towards patrons with neutral tastes. Request Jalapeno with Cilantro adding a subtle flavor with a mild kick. Guacamole remained consistent while retaining its flavorful balanced ingredient mix, light thick texture, & fresh avocados. Making this my go-to for Guac cravings. I have tried guacamole from other places. Never lived up to my standards. This place exceeded every personal expectation ever had from other Mexican restaurants. Ask for Jalapenos & add that mild zestful kick enjoyed by myself & others who love some heat with their dips or dishes. Their Menu offers delightful yet simplistic entree selections offering traditional Mexican dishes. With each having its own signature flavors & every bite bursting with tantalizing flavors. Brieeras here (a previous entree I enjoyed from my prior visit) contains delicious cornucopia of flavors having wonderful slight thick texture featuring delicious tender beef offering a mild rich taste with balanced spice & seasonings. Brieera served satisfies the hardiest of appetites & Brieera enthusiasts. During this recent visit, my mood gravitated towards taco salad which impressed me by having their signature flavor balance. Making each ingredient stand out in unison & their taco shell retains its crispness without being hard or soggy. Atmosphere here feels lively & welcoming adorned with beautiful Mexican-themed decor & artwork giving this entire restaurant a bright relaxing vibrance. Returning here again & exploring other menu items offered like their burrito supreme. Enjoy your personal experience. Be sure to like on FB & Tell A Friend https://www.facebook.com/CantinaLaLuz/

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

Maybe I should've noticed, but maybe it should be more obvious that the parking lot has changed and now you must pay to park and eat. Disappointing to say the least that a place that's been in that location that long has its parking lot patrolled and charged. $ y'all's I guess.
