Restaurantji's Mountain Brook recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“My husband and I have dined here many times and love the place, so we decided to invite my brother and sister-in-law to celebrate her birthday. It was just excellent!!First, the restaurant is beyond beautiful with the murals, decor, tiny ceiling lights, etc. We started with cocktails - Paloma (I always order this and it's the best in town), Ranch Water and a tequila neat. We shared the Sol y Luna Sampler, which is guacamole & pico de gallo w/ interesting assortment of chips - so fresh and delicious!For dinner, I ordered the grilled salmon w/ garlic mashed potatoes while my brother got the cantina house salad topped w/ grilled salmon. Both were excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a wonderful sear on the outside and so moist inside. My husband and SIL shared the Gambas al Ajillo (the cooked garlic in olive oil w/ red pepper is outstanding!), Shrimp Diabla on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes w/ crispy potatoes, and Red Snapper al Mojo de Ajo w/ shrimp and an amazing tomato & onion sauce and all this came with baskets of bread to soak up all those flavors. As you can see from the pictures, each dish was just beautiful. And, each of them tasted amazing (I was lucky enough to get to sample their dishes). The seafood was not overcooked and each tapa was so unique and flavorful. In addition to the delicious drinks and food, the service was excellent. The hostess made her rounds throughout the night to check on customers and our server took great care of us. The owner, Jorge, was also very attentive, periodically checking on us and helping to make my SIL's birthday very special.So, based on this as well as our previous visits, I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. We will be returning soon!!“
“Four of us ate here today on the recommendation of my nephew. It was outstanding. All of us had a quesadilla, steak and BBQ. All were excellent. The cheese dip was also excellent. I could have made a meal of that! Service could not been better. Best Mexican food I have had in Birmingham.“
“Welcome to Moe's! My gf and I took advantage of T-Mobile Tuesday's BOGO deal and had a great experience. The staff was quick even though they were packed. The meat was all coming fresh off of the grill (major score here). Our bowls were stacked high with every ingredient you could imagine. Dinged a star for the chips tasting stale and being bendable. Maybe they didn't fry them long enough? I'd go back based on our most recent experience. May just skip the chips.“
“Best ceviche I have ever had - and I’m from a costal state where it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was awesome! I had the Masa Custed Trout - 10 out of 10!! My son had Barbaccoa quesadilla, it was great too! Little one had a bacon quesadilla he ate ALL of it shocking for put 9 yo! Seriously though, go! You won’t regret it!!“
“I think his name was Felix, he was the guy behind the bar and serving tables last night. This guy is absolutely amazing he is what's going to make this company succeed. These people like him and his generosity and courteousness and his kindness, he really was something special and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to run into him“
“Food is consistently good. The brisket is always fantastic. The service can be a little hit or miss, but never terrible. Parking can be difficult at busy times but it’s in a pretty happening area. Margaritas are fresh squeezed and not made with a mix so they’re pretty tasty. Nice patio area when the weather is nice.“
“Went to a food truck near the Galleria on John Hawkins and was told there was something wrong with the grill but come to find out the girl just didn’t want to cook in the heat for a small order. Well, THANK YOU for turning me away because I discovered this food truck and man is it delicious!! Just Wish it was closer to me. I’d probably be there every other day!!“
“Walked in because of the sign. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like an authentic Mexican taqueria. I order two steak tacos, which were absolutely delicious, and Mexican rice, which tasted divine! Very authentic Mexican food for a price that won’t break your wallet!“
“Service was excellent. Great family place with fun decor. But the food was mediocre, and the margaritas were super weak. The mole chicken was just flavorless cooked chicken with mole sauce poured over just before serving. The fajitas had almost no vegetables, just meats. Lots of people like it, but it's not for me.“
“Incredible food at a great price. Your kids will love this place. The service here is super friendly and helpful. They'll do what it takes to ensure you have a great dining experience. Ashley for example is 5 stars. Thanks Ashley.“
