Originally I went here about a year ago and LOVED IT. I've bragged to everyone about it. I live in Tennessee and only occasionally come to Alabama to visit family. This was the SINGLE restaurant I was excited to come back to. And so I went tonight with my aunt and uncle so excited to share this place with them. After we got there my uncle realized that he had visited once before with his son and had a wonderful time.
And I regret every moment of anticipation. Everything was fine until our food came. The Barbacoa was disgusting, the rice tasted like soap, and my aunt and uncles chicken was dry as a bone and tasteless. The chirozo my aunt had was crunchy and dry. Both my aunt and I sent our plates back after two bites of eating. We were polite but disliked the food so much we did not re order. My uncle finished his food and went to pay. While we did not cause a scene like a Karen would we did make it apprent the food was unacceptable and asked for some of it to be comped. We did not mind paying for thr food we consumed but we had to send two of three plates back and was refused any assistance. We unhappily paid 55 dollars for one sandwhich a small cheese dip and three drinks. We also left a 10 tip because servers don't deserve to be shorted pay due to a company's food...
Read moreI've been to my fair share of Mexican restaurants in the US, but none have compared to Taqueria Las Cebollitas.
I haven't been to Mexico, so I'm not the greatest judge, but the food here is the most authentic I have ever had. The burritos, enchiladas, tacos, sopas, cactus, cow tongue; the whole menu provides diverse, perfected dishes at incredibly low prices! Plus! The salsa is served in a way like no other Mexican restaurant. You're served red, green, & orange salsas along with lime, cilantro & freshly diced onion, and you're able to make your perfect salsa from these. They also have a great Mexican beer selection for being in Cullman.
The service is typically solid & attentive, but the servers aren't the engaging type. The plating is done pretty well. The atmosphere feels a little closed/overwhelming, but I think it's the best for the space given.
If you're looking for the best restaurants in Alabama, go to Taqueria Las Cebollitas. This spot helped me understand the depth of the art of cooking a little bit better. For the same prices you would get at a Tex Mex, you get totally elevated meals. To whomever the chef behind this magic...
Read moreVery good food and great service. The first time I walked in, I was expecting just the average not so good Mexican restaurant. Until I got the locos burrito. I was immediately blown away. I definitely recommend the locos burrito or the torta. Food servings are very big, if you walk out of that place not full, you probably ordered off the kids menu, or should compete in professional eating competitions. As soon as you walk in, they seat you and ask you what drink you want. About 5 minutes after that, they bring you a big platter of homemade tortilla chips, a happy sized bottle of salsa, green avocado sauce your drinks, and a very spicy red sauce. Then they take your order. The menu has a lot of very good items, so bring a appetite. There horchata is also the best I've ever had. This place blew my mind, definitely...
