“Habaneros is always delicious. We go often with my in-laws. The service is consistently top-notch. Some of the meals we had included pork carnitas (ONLY place my husband will order them now that Fronterra - sister restaurant- is closed), chicken quesadilla (delicious w/perfectly cooked & seasoned chicken), chicken chimichanga (also perfectly cooked), tacos al carbone (FIL's favorite along with carnitas), & beef tacos & burrito (A+ according to MIL). The salsa (regular & spicy green), cheese dip, & guacamole are all terrific, too.If you love Mexican food (Americanized), Habaneros is always a great choice.“

“Amazing food, environment, and service by Cody was awesome!“

“Nice small authentic Taqueria. It's not a big fancy restaurant, what is honest quality food. Amazing. Great for lunch or a quick husband wife dinner. Casual. They got a wonderful Habanero cream sauce for tacos that gives a little kick but tastes great.“

“My husband and I were wowed with the excellent service we received from Paige C on 4/21/25. She was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable of the food and beverage menu, and did an outstanding job greeting us, taking our order, and being super patient with the long line. The food was outstanding, and the Mexi macaroni and cheese was incredible! Both my husband and I were extremely impressed with my steak burrito bowl. The steak medallions were cooked to perfection and literally fell apart in my mouth. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful lunch date for my husband’s birthday!“

“Food was fantastic!! We got sweets from the bakery. Delicious!!! Everyone there was really nice. First visit but it won't be our last!!“

“THANK U Calob for ur outstanding service and for a GREAT first time!! Definitely a must for locals or out of towners like us- All was amazing, including delicioso Churros shared by friendly guest sitting next to me- adding to the Fun, so appreciated, salud🥂 😆😉“

“ate lunch there today. it was awesome. chips were warm, margaritas was delicious. nachos and burrito were the best. diffently will be back. also, loved our servers.“

“The food was hot and flavorful and didn't take too long to prepare. The chimichanga was nicely browned/ crisp as I like it. The chicken was shredded thoroughly and was tender and juicy with a hint of pepper heat , with only sparse pieces mingled in the filling.The prices for the lunch special were reasonable. I believe that this dish, which comes with rice and beans, is usually covered in cheese alone, though they happily added tomatoes for me. The cashier served me and another couple who ate in, and several customers picked up lunch orders. I believe the chandeliers must be remnants of the old Hickory House that originally occupied that building as they clash a bit aesthetically with the heavy and brightly painted ,carved furniture. The bench sit was very comfortable. The large space filled with light. But there seemed to be a bit of a cold draft nearest the windows. It's hard to tell, though, as the ceiling fans were still all running on high up in the high ceiling . I was especially pleased with the flavorful rice as it is the first I've ever had at any Mexican restaurant that was spiced/tomato sauced heavy enough. Overall, I believe I will visit again when in the area.“

“es un restaurante de exelente servicios, y tienen variedad de comida ricas. se los recomiendo“

“Phenomenal fajitas, fantastic chicken and rice, chips and salsa were amazing, no wait for seating or food. The portions are enough for two meals! Attentive waiter, and the bathrooms were even very clean. 10/10 expierence, also very affordable.“

“Stopped in on trip to Birmingham and were pleasantly surprised at our good luck. The food was nicely presented and delicious. We had combo plates with chicken and it was moist and tender. Chips and salsa was spicy and delicious. Quicamole Mexican was fresh, made with chunks of avocado, onions, tomato, and cilantro. We will be back.“

“I have been going to this truck since they were going to the bessemer Flea market. Always great service and great food 👍🏽“

“Great margarita selection! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. There are a ton of food options which can be a little overwhelming but the food was very good! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. This place was great, I’d definitely return.“

“Tenía antojos de quesadillas y me fuí para Estela Tacos, ahí siempre te atienden bien y la comida es sabrosa.“

“Best tacos hands down. Tacos are always packed with lots of meat and served w/ grilled nopales (cactus) and cebollita taquera(green onion). They give you green and red salsa bottles to take to your table to enjoy throughout your meal. For drinks they offer Jarritos or agua frescas. Aside from tacos they also have quesadillas, pambazos, burritos, etc.“

“muy rica la comida 😋 👌 buen servicio se come muy rico carnitas menudo tortillas echas a mano“

“Steak, Chorizo, and Campechano tacos were very hard to beat. I went on a Saturday at 8pm and got my food within 5 minutes of ordering it. Tacos came with onions, cilantro, along with sides of red and green sauce. Great takeout or quick eat spot, got 4 tacos for $12. Highly recommend Tacos El Guero.“

“The service was great! Def recommend America!! She is friendly and sweet. The food came out fast and was very good.“

“Absolutely delicious food!!! Lots of healthy options. The veggie burrito has more veggies on it than any other I have had! Haven’t had anything I don’t like.“

“If you ever need a place you want to eat at or just go for a good drink then Casa Fiesta is your place the service is excellent the drinks are excellent and the food is to die for!.“

“me n my child ate here yesterday and I had to throw up in the parking lot bc it made me sick got home and my daughter throw up all night long my child order the kids pizza I had a taco salad we get the same thing every Mexican restaurant we go to but this location is beautiful but the food made us sick“

“Ordered 4 chicken tacos & 4 steak tacos...I will say not enough sauce to even put on your tacos...very dry with the sauce provided. I got the green and red sauce (2 each provided) for 8 tacos; oh, and a steak burrito w/o beans. Was not very satisfying for the money spent. Please ask for a LOT of sauce if you get this order...I mean a lot.“

“Great food! Better service. The Fried Ice Cream was awesome!“

“Amazing tasting steak!🤤 Huge burrito! Highly recommended“
