Review Taqueria Tafoya - Birmingham

I found out about this place from a student of mine who would go here very frequently. I love good authentic Spanish food, so I was very eager to try this place out. I was not disappointed at all! These tacos are some of the best I have ever had, and I have had authentic food on my travels to Honduras. I always make a point to stop by and order at least two tacos when I am in the area. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Real, authentic, delicious food served fresh and fast! Very polite staff. You won't be disappointed here. A gem hidden in plain sight! One of my favorite restaurants in all of Birmingham!

Best authentic Mexican food I've ever eaten. I have been kind of obsessed with finding these small, out-of-the-way, inexpensive taco places after accidentally discovering a really good one in Louisville Kentucky . This one was even better. Grilled tacos , delicious shrimp tostada and pork tamale for us. One unique aspect of this restaurant compared to others, is that they bring out fresh chopped cilantro, onions, pickled onions, limes, fresh cucumber slices and an avocado sauce. They also have very good red and green sauces, along with sour cream in 3 squeeze dispensers. This allows you to get as much of the good stuff as you like , the way you want it, at the table. Honestly, I'm kind of spoiled by this now. You can really work in the hotter sauces if you know how ample sour cream is an option. The cooling effect of the sliced cucumbers and pickled onions has similar benefit. We went for a late lunch, . So, I can't really comment on typical crowd etc., but the price was great. A lot of food for under $25 . I would give anything to have a place like this within driving distance of our home , instead of an hour away. the best ! We'll definitely be back. Four

Great place to grab a quick bite. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly

This place is NEVER a disappointment! Always my go to for the BEST tacos in Birmingham!!

Amazing Food, Great Service.

Great authentic Mexican food. Traditional items like tacos both soft and crispy, tamales and such. Some great spicy marinated red onions, The perfect compliment to tacos.

This is the best restaurant for authentic Mexican food! Tou will not be disappointed!

What a hidden gem!. Recently heard about this place from a coworker and so glad I did - it is spectacular! I have not had Ceviche this good since working in Houston. The chorizo, asada and pastor tacos make me feel like I'm back in San Antonio. Totally authentic and delicious...even the Tomatillo salsa is pitch perfect. <br/><br/>The food is spicy - as it should be - so go easy the first time. But if all the 'mexican' food in BHAM is bland and the same to you, you are going to love this place. <br/><br/>The atmosphere is not a huge draw but don't let it scare you off. The food is TOTALLY WORTH IT!

I actually like this place. Their gorditas de guisado are awesome really authentic sadly, I can say the same about the rest of the food. I found the food some of the time way over salted and the tamales are quite dry and tasteless. I'm Mexican so I should know better. A little expensive too for street food

A cuter than Salma Hayek hostess serving authentic and delicious Mexican fare. A lovlier than Salma Hayek hostess serving authentic and delicious Mexican fare - it's true. They would go out business if they offered all you can eat! Food so tasty one wouldn't stop if full.

The Best tacos around!!!. This place has the best tacos I have tasted, I had one of each and they have an authentic taste. It is not the typical restaraunt with a menu since a Taqueria basically has the traditional foods such as tacos, burritos and tortas. They do however have other authentic food during the weekends which I have tasted and loved!!! If you are around town you need to come to this place and try it out.
