Taco Mama - Gardendale

Cute little spot I found to get a couple of tacos meat was really salty but Queso was really good

I’ve been here with my wife maybe 4 times at this point. I’ve also been to other Taco Mama locations and have never had a problem with service, but this place has blown me away every time.

I’ve interacted with at least a dozen different employees at this point and every single one seems to go above and beyond to make sure we’re happy. Again no shade at other locations because no complaints about service at all elsewhere and food is always good everywhere, but this team is special. Multiple table touches to check on us, offering above and beyond service for fast casual, greeting everyone at the door genuinely with a smile and a menu, patience and friendliness while ordering etc—I could go on and on.

I managed multiple units for a relatively recently bought out very successful Birmingham-born fast casual concept for many years so this is coming from a very informed perspective—absolutely fantastic job to all. Keep it up—lucky to have you in Gardendale!

You're greeted by a door greeter passing out menus before you make it to the counter to order. The restaurant is self seating and there is plenty of seats both table top, and high top. The menu is is super easy, with pre-made baskets of tacos chips and salsa or a create your own taco side with a plethora of options. The salsa is not that good, the most common ancestry it has to actual salsa is the Tomato in it. The macaroni and cheese, is okay. Tacos are the star of the show!! My son had the original beef, and I had the cheesy beef. Both of them were fixed to the hilt and were delicious! They're sweet tea was made by somebody southernmost definitely, and is delicious as well. There are no drink sizes in this restaurant is everybody has one size cup with unlimited refills. The staff in this restaurant were eager, and helpful, and just the most Pleasant to be around.

Employees went above & beyond any expectation I would of ever had. Food & Atmosphere was amazing and such a huge plate of Nachos! Already Planning our next visit(without kiddos and adding margaritas!)

This was my first trip to Taco Mama, and boy, was I in for a treat!! I ordered the nachos with chicken. Toppings are unlimited, fresh, and abundant. These nachos aint for the faint at heart. They're massive and so delicious!! The staff was excellent and super friendly. I sat outside on the patio it had stormed earlier, and the outside was nice and quiet!! The young ladies checked me quite often and made sure i was ok or needed anything even raised an umbrella up so that I could move to a covered table. I stayed at my table though the gester was very nice.
Taco Mama Gardendale, you have my vote 10 outta 10 wpuld recommend!!
