Restaurantji unveils Huntsville's must-visit Mexican dining spots. Indulge in the city's top-notch Taco Salad, Chips and Salsa, Birria Tacos, and other delicious dishes.
“Someone from southern Arizona, I have been looking all over for a good Mexican food place for a year now. I stumbled across CATRINAS. I can honestly say the BEST Iv had! Very friendly! Food was hot and delicious. 10/10. Excited to go back with the wife! Not drenched in white cheese and the meat has flavor! Check them out!“
“The staff are so nice. The food is great. Bonus points for the salsa bar! Great affordable spot for lunch. Lightning fast service. There's some real SEASONING on this food unlike the bland Mexican spots in town like Rosie's.My only complaint is the canned pineapple on the fish tacos. I would rework that recipe to be more authentic. Otherwise everyone taco I have gotten has been 5/5. I'd also love for them to eventually serve Margaritas.“
“Glad to have a taqueria near us! A newly opened restaurant but food shows experience in the kitchen. Ordered a couple al pastor tacos (very good) and the birria taco platter (also very good!). Looking forward to another visit to try the birria ramen! Nice little restaurant and a nice staff.“
“We stopped by the area for a quick walk about and grew hungry. A short line at peak lunch time, but well worth the wait. The burrito I had was The Judge, flavorful chicken with rice, black beans, chips and salsa and a side. Honestly can't wait to frequent more often, lots of selection for burritos and tacos. Their Margaritas looked great also, but the weather was pretty cold, so next time for sure.Space inside was kind of small, but handled the brief lunch rush for a Sunday. Once the weather is warmer outdoor seating will be most desirable. Keep up the great work Taco Mama, your friendly staff and warm atmosphere was excellent.“
“If you know anything about me at all, you know, I’m extremely picky about my Mexican food. And for the most, part I really don’t like TexMex, so when I tell you, Nanny and I have found the absolute best Mexican restaurant in Huntsville, you know I’m not lying. (Trust the fat guy!) We ate there yesterday for the first time and today 16 of us went back and had an amazing time! Food! Music! Service! All outstanding! It’s a hole in the wall, and you know those are the best!

“Fantastic food, with quick service. My water was refilled plenty and the server was very kind. One of the orders was messed up, but they got it out to my table quickly. The facilities were clean and we were given everything we needed to have a great experience. The food was reasonably priced and a great overall atmosphere with televisions and Mexican themed decorations.“
“Love Rosie's, their service is always great.The salsa at this one is a little sweeter than the others but still okay. Lunch quesadilla is plenty of food and comes out fairly quickly. The tortilla was crisp and had a great, almost buttery flavor.“
“Been to this restaurant several times and always had a good time and a great meal. The food is always tasty and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The owner, Alex I believe, always comes by to make sure everything is good and say hello. The atmosphere is great with live music and a vibrant vibe. Would recommend trying the fajitas and nachos, always delicious and great portions for the price.“
“We ordered ahead and had take out, and as always it was GREAT! We've been eating here for years, and we have never had any issues. The food is always awesome, the staff are always helpful and friendly. Can't say enough good things about this authentic Mexican food experience!Kid-friendliness: Always willing to modify meals even for the pickiest of eaters.“
“This little spot is the absolute best taco’s I’ve ever eaten in my life you will not be dissapointed try the birria taco’s they are to die for trust me im very picky and this place is 10 outta 10 I give them an 11 go try them out and see for yourself you will definitely thank me and the service and cleanliness is just as good . “
“Gluten Free!They don't do a very good job of telling you how great of a job they do.We've lived here for years and can only eat at places that are able to accommodate a gluten allergy.This Taco Mama staff fully understood our concerns and ensured the kitchen staff knew we were ordering for someone with an allergy.My wife is highly sensitive and cannot even walk into a pizza place. Well, she had no issues at all. So, for our celiac friends out there, you can eat here with no fear. Just stress the allergy.Now, onto the food. Mine was only OK. But not the fault of the staff. I ordered the wrong thing. That item was made very well, just not what I wanted. Again, that was my fault.Everyone loved the food and was talking about wanting to go back before we even made it back to the car.If you haven't eaten here yet, please do so soon. These folks deserve your business.EDIT: Second visit was even better than the first. Margheritas were a little strong but still very good.“
“Celia makes you feel at home. I enjoy the food, but most importantly, I appreciate the friendliness and warm welcome Celia gives her customers. If I was to only eat at one place for the rest of my life, this would be the place. My favorites are lingua and tripa tacos. Get that with pineapple pieces and their delicious slow cooked consomme, and you will be happy. Thank you Celia. You are amazing ! God keep you healthy and full of energy, can't wait to eat at your restaurant one day. Bendiciones para ti !!!!“
“Delish! I walk in for quick take out... I just ask the girls at the front for food, nothing specific, and everytime they order for me it ALWAYS satisfies! Oh, and its fast too! Oh, and they are really nice too! Also, today, she asked me if i liked spicy, and of course I do... but she wasn't kidding it had a kick on it! Very good though.“
“This is for the food truck on University Blvd.I ordered an $8 burrito "Al Pastor" (pork), it had tiny pieces of fat (not many) from the cut that would help provide additional flavor to the meat. The burrito was big, tasty and filling. At first, I thought of eating half because of the size, and the next thing I know I'm liking my fingers. Service was fast for time/day. It's located at a gas station so you make your own atmosphere. They have a juice truck adjasent to the taco truck. Heard the $3 tacos are great, so I'll be back. You can eat on location as well. **cash only**Parking: Parking is shared with gas station patrons.“
“My husband and I just decided to visit Los 3 Reales for the first time.It was PHENOMENAL!!My husband got a Pastor Burrito and I got a Chorizo Burrito. We also got two large horchatas. The staff was friendly, the prices were great, the food came out quickly, and everything we ordered was exceptionally delicious! This space definitely just got added to our top list!We will definitely be back!“
“Their build a taco, burrito, and nachos are amazing. The amount of food they give you is insane. I never can finish. I also order a side of street corn for myself, delicious. I have tried a couple of their drinks, they were all good. You really can't go bad here.“
“Amazing wings! Had garlic parmesan wings and the Mambo chips delivered. Wings were fantastic!!! Guacamole, salsa, chips and queso was very good.First time eating from The End Zone and will eat there again. Delivery was fast and young man was super polite.Overall, SUPER experience.“
“This place is Hidden gem for street mexican food. If you aren't careful, you'll drive right past it, but it's worth the stop. Prices are great and the food is good. The tacos are made with fresh soft corn Tortillas. The asada is tender and lightly seasoned. The al pastor is bursting with flavor. If you like some spice, add a little of the red picante sauce on the counter. Burn your lips goodness.“
“Best and most authentic Mexican food, in addition to best quality of food, I’ve experienced here in Huntsville. I’m from El Paso and Los Angeles where Mexican food is outstanding. The Chef at Tulum combines flavors that are genuine to the food culture and meat cuts are quality. I’m super picky about meat and thoroughly “inspected” my meal the first time. It was perfect!! The chicken was tender breast meat, grilled wonderfully! We have been several dozen times since my initial “inspection” ? and have always had consistent quality meals!! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!!“
“Amazing tamales! It’s been hard to find some since leaving San Antonio and these are up there! The staff and team are so quick to respond and very helpful. At pickup the men up front wouldn’t let me try and carry the big containers to my car because they were so ridiculously heavy, and insisted they helped me while I wrangled my two boys, and our lunch order. Absolutely a hsv staple.“
“The best place on Earth! The owner, Theresa, her family & staff/volunteers are some of the most humble, kind and caring people I've ever met! I have so much gratitude and appreciation for all of you and those who donate! The food is prepared, served & given to those in need with so much love… JESUS is proud!“
“Went to El Charro for the first time today. Was a very good choice! Staff took the time to describe their food and help us make our choices. Service was quick as well. I got a large order of Gringas. Lots of really good meat and cheese comfort food! Easily enough for two people. My wife got chicken tacos. These were excellent as well. We will definitely be back to try out more of the menu. Highly recommend.“
“Oh what a wonderful place to go and eat and sit with family to enjoy family quality time. My boys got the buffett, me and my ma ordered plates and we were all beyond satisfied not only with the quality of the food but also with the staff. They are extremely friendly and made absolutely sure we had what we ordered and our drinks were filled. Great place to take the family, or friends for drinks.Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids to eat“
“The people were extremely patient with me as I called my girlfriend for clarification on her order. I also received plenty of help with what is in the food. Lastly, the food smelled heavenly and looks just like the picture! If you want a delicious, authentic experience come “
“Oh my,this place is awesome. The 1st time I'd ever eaten there, but I can honestly say it definitely won't be my last ..My boyfriend (Dennis Orr) and I went to try it out bc we both love Mexican food...We both ate beef burritos, which were absolutely delicious ? ???The chips and salsa were delish,the white cheese was a delight,omg sooo good ? ? ?The price wasn't bad for the portion you get!Thank you for your great service and delish food!It may have been our 1st time, but you can bet it won't be our last!God BlessThis was a different review for a different day!

“My daughter and I came by to try it out. It was fantastic! Excellent seasonings. Everything was good. My daughter even liked the rice and beans...and she is not usually a fan of those items. Now my son-in-law is ticked...he had planned to bring my daughter here for supper...but we came for lunch!! We will definitely be back. Many times!! The Mezcal Nachos were yummy and the guacamole was delight! I consider the guacamole one of my tests of how good a restaurant is. I am so glad we found this place!!“
“My wife and I had Steak chimichangas with rice, beans, sour rest and Guacamole on the side. Food was pretty good, Guacamole was a bit tart like it was prepackaged and had Lime added to it. We went between 6pm and 645pm and customers where not bad. Servers were not bad, pretty attentive and food came out pretty quick. Definitely will go back to eat here.“
“We were first timers last night, but not last timers. This is very nice upscale Mexican restaurant without the upscale prices. It has a very nice modern industrial style atmosphere. A superb bar and cocktail menu. David was our server and he was excellent. We had a group of eight and we never felt rushed or forgotten. We ordered four different meals and served them family style around the table. Every thing was delicious. We'll be back next week to try something different.“
“New restaurant as of 2024. Very nice facility and great lighting and decor. Good food and decent prices. Excellent service.We had steak, chicken and rice. It was super.Safe parking and easy access for ppl w ability needs.Very clean. Highly recommended.“
“It has been a few years since I've been to El Mariachi. Myself, and my grandparents used to come here often, but had since started to going to El Monte because it is closer to my grandmother. We decided to give El Mariachi some love today since had not been in so long. Right away, the biggest change that caught my eye was the decor, they have gone with a more western style theme and have done away with the paintings that I remember... but I digress, we're here to talk about the food. First, the salsa. The first thing that caught my attention was they use fresh cilantro which gave a nice kick when you take that first bite, followed by the other spicy nuances that you want in any salsa. For my entree, I had the chicken fajitas. They came out promptly and were still sizzling. I also had the salad with refried beans, fresh guacamole, and rice. The fajitas themselves were great without any additional toppings, but blended with the guacamole, sour cream, and salsa, makes for a delectable little bite. All in all, it was a good experience. Service was prompt and attentative, and the food was good and fresh. While it may not exactly be like a fine wine in that it gets better with age, it certainly has not lost it's touch. Will definitely be coming back!“
“was hard to find the place as I didn't know where they were located to begin with. very quick take out delivery and the burrito was very very good along with the salsa. hard to find good Mexican food around here . highly recommend this place“
“I recently had a chance to visit Hops N Guac while I was visiting Huntsville for a conference. The food was good and the atmosphere was very comfortable and laid back. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Huntsville area.“
“I am an out of towner from Michigan, first time I have ever had Bandito Burrito Co. and I absolutely loved it. It was plenty of food, reasonably priced and really good. I would 100% recommend, staff was nice, I had limited interaction. Thank you for the good food yall!“
“Amazing tamales! It’s been hard to find some since leaving San Antonio and these are up there! The staff and team are so quick to respond and very helpful. At pickup the men up front wouldn’t let me try and carry the big containers to my car because they were so ridiculously heavy, and insisted they helped me while I wrangled my two boys, and our lunch order. Absolutely a hsv staple.“
“The staff was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and this will definitely become one of our go to Mexican spots. Jalapeno fajitas were very spicy and delicious. The steak supermo was also delicious. The beans with the chips were cooked beans and one of the best I have had, not just some regualr refried beans plopped in a bowl.“
“WHOA. my first word after taking a bite of their mexi egg rolls...oh my gosh - just YUMMY! this fits the bill for wanting something different and "I didn't know I needed this." I've had their Burrito Real at least a dozen times - also yummy - a trusted staple...but those egg rolls pushed me to submit an overdue review of this place. ?“
