Lendi HathcockFebruary 12, 2012Well this is one 280 and it is at the summit! This is the best kinda Mexican food around! If u go u gotta try the to die for creamy jalapeño dip! It's is great and is not hot (at all)!! Trust me! ❤
Sharnell VahldiekJuly 27, 2014Been to the original more than 25 years ago and been coming to multiple locations since. This location has friendly staff and the food is to the company's standard which is fantastic!
Always leave here feeling sick, but it sure does taste delish! Be sure to ask for the creamy jalapeño dip - it's free! ;)
Keith SplawnJanuary 18, 2014On Hwy 280 @ The Summit - Avoid the HORRIBLE parking out front at night...use the parking deck to the rear and come in the back door through the patio. You DON'T have to walk all the way around.
James WillisJune 24, 2011Always a great place, been twice now in 2 weeks. Great food, fast service. Food doesn't forever like other places. Come between 4p and 7p for happy hour(s) for free cheese dip and $4 margaritas!
Derricka BrownApril 23, 2017I had the soft tacos. They're were good, but to doughy for me. I loved the atmosphere,and the staff is great. Ask for Mark, he's wonderful.
Leandra FrankFebruary 6, 2014The creamy jalapeño sauce is beyond amazing by itself or with your food. Inexpensive and amazing.
Kasie ShottsMarch 27, 2013Wonderful atmosphere and outstanding staff! The employees are the best and the service is excellent!
Jeremy CockrellJanuary 15, 2014Try the jalepeno cream dip. Awesome. Best mexican in Birmingham. Great prices and great service.
Chris ByrdJanuary 1, 2014OMG! The bartenders here are great. They are VERY knowledgeable, friendly, and fast. At the two on 12/31/2013 were. Poop
Great chicken chimichanga and creamy jalapeño sauce, but customer service is always a toss up. Sometimes great, sometimes HORRID.
Go before 7:00 and help yourself to the taco bar... Queso, beef, beans, salsa, and chips. :)
Alan YouOctober 23, 2014Don't eat too much of the complimentary chips, salsa, and dip otherwise you may be too full when the real food comes!
Richard BNovember 3, 2013It's good, but it's spicy. Seems like everything has jalapeños in it. Just so you know. Service was awesome!
Found one of the soccer balls! It's behind the canister above the tree with the sign that says "watch out for falling coconuts"!
- Karly WeigelFebruary 1, 2014Great Mexican food. Cons include long wait time, cramped seating and a rushed eating experience.
The steak burrito is great! Get some creamy jalapeño dip.
Elvis Green Chile fried chicken with Boom boom sauce.. and of course creamy Jalapano sauce with the chips! Read more
WayneJuly 19, 2012This place is awesome, my first trip here and I will defiantly will be back! Timmy is a great waiter
Melinda HallOctober 9, 2013In a strip mall back in the corner. Very difficult to find. Don't rely on Apple Maps.
Phil DosterAugust 8, 2010Creamy jalapeno is the best. Tortillas and guacamole made on site. Bar makes the best mojitos and margaritas!
Jonathon DavisAugust 13, 2011Do yourself a favor and get a Father Agave margarita. Then do your best not to order two or three more after the first.
Food is great and service is outstanding. Try the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
The front dining room is full of really creepy pictures. Like dining with death.
Try to find the 19 soccer balls hidden around the restaurant! Post the photos if you find them.
- There are two soccer balls in the restroom area! One on the women's side and one on the men's!
The tortilla soup is warm and goes straight to your toes!
Whatever time estimate Chuy's tells you ignore. They told us the wait would be 1 hr 45 mins and it was only 20 mins. With out fail they grossly overestimate the wait time by at least double.
