    Sangria
    Ginger S.

    Well, the perfect spot is located in Homewood, Alabama. Stop by when you are shopping and need a snack. The sangria was very good, like the sliced fruits, with my drink. Also, the queso and cheese was delicious. Love me some cheesy queso and chips. They were hot and fresh. This spot will definitely get a 9 out of 10.it had pretty of light and a lot of fresh air they had the door and window open. The service was outstanding. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Nachos

    I really don't think you can beat the Barbacoa nachos at Taco Mama! You can get them piled high with every topping imaginable - which is exactly what we did. One order is definitely enough for two people to share! TM has recently raised their prices, but the nachos are basically 2 meals for the price of 1. A great, quick, easy meal out when you're looking for that!

    This is a cozy environment. The food is always incredibly delicious and the service is fast. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. I can tell this is a valued restaurant in the community. They are so kind to the people and the kids love to come and get their fountain drinks after school. Ever since my wife and I stopped and dined in at this location, we have no desire to try any other location.

    5/5 food! 4/5 atmosphere. 4/5 quality control. You all may know by now that I am big on atmosphere and lighting, so I will do my complaining first. Taco Mama Edgewood exists inside the dreaded "shoebox"-shaped building where strong light comes from the front while the rear of the space remains dim. Migraine sufferers be warned! As this is not a full-service restaurant, me and my friend ordered our food at the counter and then sat down. The cashier was very friendly. Sadly, there were 2 quality control issues with my friend's order. First, there were lettuce "butts" in her salad, that is, the very base of the lettuce stems where all the leaves attach, which aren't really edible. Second, she asked for queso on her salad and didn't receive any. However, she wasn't charged for the queso, so it wasn't a big issue. Now let me brag on the food! I ordered the fabulous Justice Is Served grilled flounder tacos. I love some chubby, good-sized tacos, and these, along with the generous helping of chips and salsa and [included] side of rice, definitely filled me up! The flavors were bold and fresh. My friend built her own salad bowl, and it was huge! It filled up a big plate. QC issues above aside, she declared it delicious. We both walked out with food babies! Taco Mama did not disappoint.

    Chicken tacos!!!

    Love some Taco Mama. It's consistently good and the chips are very thin which makes them even more addicting. I get the chicken tacos and the chicken is always seasoned very well! Don't get the skinny marg, spend your calories on a regular one because it is much better!!

    Taco Mama is the spot if you want to build a salad bowl, burrito bowl, tacos, burrito, quesadilla, or nachos of your dreams. There are endless fresh toppings & tasty ingredients (guac does NOT cost extra!!!), & the food was served quick. If crafting your own masterpiece is not your vibe, there are signature taco & burrito baskets that come with chips, salsa, & side. They also serve beer, wine, & margaritas if you're looking for a drink. I'm gluten free (GF) & thankfully did not have any reactions. With numerous locations, your bound to be close to a Taco Mama to quench your cantina cravings.

    Chips, burritos, and tacos were all good. Kind of on the expensive side for counter service, but the food is very good.

We were moved to another booth. I caught the vibe that yiu had to know what you wanted because the server was swift. Almost like he didn't have time for questions or being indecisive. I ordered a margarita and some questionable that had spinach in it. It was so good. The spinach was fresh not frozen. We had to ask for a plate for the appetizer. Anytime we asked for more napkins the sever just removed napkins from another table. We ordered tacos and fajitas. Both dishes were served quickly and steaming hot.

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant out for a few years. I initially went on the first day…read morethat they open but because I was craving a margarita and they didn't have their liquor license yet I ended up going across the street. 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.

It's the clear winner for overall Mexican food in the area. Their birria tacos are phenomenal, the drinks are delicious and refreshing, and the sauces actually have real flavor, none of that overly thick, bland stuff you get everywhere else. They nail the meat every time: perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned so well you don't get any of that "gamey" or off taste some places have. It's consistently solid across the board. They also have kind workers and the ambiance overall is good. Spacious enough for some privacy although I don't like some of their seating chairs...the benches that are connected between you and someone else behind you. A few times I had customers behind me moving a whole lot and it wasn't very pleasant. Honorable mention for tacos specifically: Mezon food truck (another gem I had to find independently). Lesson learned the hard way, don't trust most Birmingham recommendations; they've let me down too many times. Acapulco is worth every visit.
