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.

The wait for our order wasn't long at all, everything was correctly prepared, the presentation was nice, the serving size was wonderfully filling, and above all, it was mouth-wateringly good. Highly recommend

I haven't tried an entrée yet because my group usually orders a few dips to share, and they've always been a hit. That said, the dishes I've seen at other tables have looked delicious. The outdoor patio is one of my favorite features--it's a great place for people-watching, enjoying the atmosphere, and having a daytime drink. The service has been solid on every visit. Nothing extraordinary, but friendly, efficient, and with no complaints. Overall, it's a place I'd happily come back to.

The President of my company I was working at 2010 took a couple of us to Taco Casa saying how great they are. He may have been a little bias as he was a proud University of Alabama alumni. Roll Tide! I read he started by Alabama alumni, who was a football player there in 1967 disappointed there were no Mexican restaurants in Tuscaloosa. Ultimately, he opened the one near the university in 1974. College students love tacos & cheap food in general. It was so popular he recognized expansion to another college town, Auburn. Although the enemy rival, he saw opportunity as college students anywhere like tacos & cheap food. Then, they expanded to Birmingham area & elsewhere in AL. The President was right in that the tacos were solid here. There was a taco truck I liked more, but I did like the tacos at a good price here.

We had rice and refried beans on the side, along with the salsa and chips, and some cheese dip. That was the best salsa I've had in a LONG time, and the cheese sauce was VERY good, too. I liked mine, as did hub; but we weren't as crazy for his gordita. And they use corn tortillas instead of flour. The service was excellent. Our one complaint was that they served our main food in the same kind of basket that they served the chips in; fine for anything to be picked up and eaten, but not able to cut our food up in. But, the very nice, personable server gladly brought out a regular plate. We will go back and try some other yummy things.
