Uncover Auburn's Mexican dining scene with Restaurantji's insights.
“Coming from Atlanta where a strong Mexican culture has fostered many good restaurants, our expectations were not the highest. Lo and Behold, this place rocks. Their guacamole can hold its own with Atlanta's best. The salsa has a nice cumin note. We ordered Huevos, burritos and tacos. Everything was really good. If I was nitpicking I might say that the spice level was dialed down for a typical American palate. Staff was extremely welcoming and efficient. Recommended!“
“The Mexican Shrimp Soup was exceptional! It can be hard to eat with friends at a Mexican restaurant, but with this soup you can save your calories for a margarita! It was loaded with juicy shrimp. The veggies were all low carb (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots). The broth was SO good, nicely spiced with a good level of heat. Excellent healthy option!Dietary restrictions: Delicious healthy option!“
“Taco Mama in Auburn, AL I recently visited Taco Mama and had a very positive experience. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the steak quesadilla and the funky way the establishment was decorated. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe was upbeat. The menu offered a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and the chips came out warm and fresh. I would highly recommend this restaurant. #TacoMama #FoodieFinds #FlavorfulEats #LocalCuisine“
“Despite my friends’ crippling collective social anxieties, we walked away with three HUGE horchatas to go. Our waiter was incredibly kind. I just know he'd take a bullet for me if the time ever arose. We tipped very well for that impeccable service. I didn't know what an horchata was going into this, and now I am a CERTIFIED HORCHATA FIEND ?️?️ 10/10 would horchata again“
“This place is nothing like any other Mexican restaurant in our area. The food is fantastic and has very special tastes. The drinks from the bar are outstanding and again nothing like anywhere else. This family owned restaurant owners and employees treat you like family. A very welcoming environment. Cannot recommend enough. When students come back, I promise, it will be worth the wait.“
“We went here on the recommendation of our son and daughter in law. I was blown away! The service was fast and very friendly. The food came out hot and fresh. The food was wonderful with incredibly unique flavors. Prices were very good!I highly recommend this restaurant and I will certainly come back here next time I’m in Auburn!“
“"I first visited this restaurant when I arrived in Auburn around 2020, and initially, it didn't meet my expectations. However, my recent visit was a pleasant surprise! The food has vastly improved, with outstanding flavors and expertly crafted, handmade tortillas. I'm not sure if there's a new chef or management, but whatever changes have been made, they are working wonders. This place now offers some of the best street tacos in the area. I give it 5 stars for the remarkable improvements in both service and food quality."“
“I would like to take a moment to highlight the phenomenal service and food I experienced today at this location. I came in around 4:00-4:30 and was greeted by friendly smiles from two employees who were more than willing to go the extra mile to make this such a fantastic visit. Hudson took and made my order. He made the absolute best burrito bowl I have ever had in my entire life! The absolute precision and attention-to-detail was something you can only dream of when looking for an employee.His friendly customer service skills were absolutely superb and made the visit so special!Once my burrito bowl was completed, Kaden prepared me a bag of chips and rang me up. He, too, was absolutely incredible! He made sure that I was aware that I could get complementary salsa from the salsa bar. How lucky was I to get such exemplary service from both employees! I was very eager to tip them after the INCREDIBLE service I had!Once I got home, and ate my meal I couldn't believe how amazing it was. The chips that were fried to the perfect color, the guacamole that was seasoned just right, the spicy chicken that had the perfect amount of flavor, the salsas that were the cherry on top, how can you ask for anything better?I especially want to give a shout-out to Hudson and Kaden. They were both incredibly friendly and attentive, and they went above and beyond to make sure that I had a great meal. This was my first time ever at a Barberitos and because of them specifically, I will definitely be back to Barberitos again soon and recommend it to all my friends and family. Please give both of them raises, promotions, AND bonuses! They deserve it!!!“
“My only complaint is that the curbside pick up is in the back of the building and I had no idea so I waited on my food for 45 mins in the front of the building then went in and asked for it. I would’ve never known curbside spots were in the back if i didn’t go out that way.“
“Never had this before, but glad we stopped in! Really good Mexican food! The place was pretty busy, but our food got to us fairly quickly. The only complaint any of us had was our drinks were pretty slow getting to us. It appeared our server had more tables than he could easily handle. It's ok though, he did the best he could. My wife and I shared the buffalo chicken nachos. We were both very surprised at how good they were at a Mexican restaurant! The dining room was clean as were the restrooms. The selection is huge here! The portions were very generous as well. We will be back!“
“I went here because I heard that this place is a real Mexican restaurant (which means similar taste to when you eat in Mexico).Taco was fantastic ?I loved it!!!I ordered Asada, Pastor, and Carnitas for my lunch ?I ate it in the restaurant!The server was nice ?I liked that I could choose the sauce whatever I wanted and there was various type of sauce.I enjoyed it, so I went there again and ordered the same thing but a different flavor (Asada, Chorizo, and Pollo) for my dinner and did to-go ?“
“Best fast food I have had in 4 years....by far! Everything was fresh and made properly. The staff were polite, courteous and clean. I even appreciated the music that was playing as it was not obnoxious. The entire facility was immaculately clean! I will definitely be a return patron and recommend it to everyone I know.“
“My friend and I, plus our kids, love this place for lunch. I love their beef crunchy tacos and guacamole. If you like heat, ask for their spicy salsa.Kid-friendliness: Good variety of meal options for kids. Portions are big enough that you can split one kids meal between 2 kids.“
“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! The tortillas are so good, and the salsas are life changing. Every meat option I've ever had here so far is great, but the tripas are especially delicious and crispy! The tacos are loaded up with meat and have just the right amount of cilantro and onion to round it out. I've had the quesadillas and burritos as well and they are so delicious and filling.As a heads up, the website orders don't go through every time, so they recommend calling or just stopping in! Calling orders in is a breeze with them so I recommend that.“
“Very good and authentic place in auburn. You got to be prepared that the person taking the order might not speak English, but that's what makes this place good. You got to order at the front and pay in the grocery store and they don't bring chips and salsa to you. You have to go buy a bag of chips if you want that. You will see all the local Hispanic workers during lunch, which tells you this is where you need to eat for the good stuff.“
“After trying just about every sit Mexican restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika area, this is our go to place. We haven’t ventured away since they opened. This is the first one in the area that doesn’t have a near identical menu or taste as the rest of the ubiquitous TexMex places. It truly stands alone on the food and service. They even make their own tortillas in the front of the restaurant now in plain view. Pretty cool. We eat there at least 3 times per month and have NEVER had a bad experience.“
