“ Amazing food here. Whether you get a taco, or a fajita, it's guaranteed to be good. The only reason that I rated this 4-stars is because the service is bad maybe about 10% of the time. The ambiance of this restaurant is friendly as well, as they hang up piñatas, sing YOU happy birthday, and more. 4 stars. ”
“ Delicious as always!! The food is always fresh. Salsa and chips always included!! Have only gotten take out but yet restaurant is always crowded and everyone is happy!! ”
“ Crazy story. I went here with my elderly parents. The food was excellent. The wait staff was so helpful. The crazy part was after we left, I get home and my mother calls me . She left her teeth in a napkin on the table. So I called the restaurant and ask them if by chance if they found them. No, Notta, Nothing. The manager offer to let me come and look. Well my mother has only had them for three days so being the ever so loving son , I reluctantly agreed. So grabbing rubber gloves and an apron, my girlfriend and I run out the door to beat their closing time. I was lead into a beautiful clean kitchen. I was really impressed. I've seen commercial kitchens over the years and this one was really clean, especially for one that late at night. The kitchen staff, I think took pitty on us knowing what we were about to do. But nevertheless we got down to business of removing the nights table scraps from one trash can to another, searching for my mother's prized teeth. Talk about feeling dirty! But we continued all the way. Imagine how it felt to reach the bottom without a victory dance. It was like going to a birthday party and there's no cake. So after thanking the staff and apologizing for the mess we made, we left. On the way home I decided to stop by my parents house to see if she dropped it in the driveway. No such luck either so I decided to look in her house.. was promised they were not there. She adamantly promised she had looked everywhere. I know you can see where this is going. And yes you are right. Upon walking into the kitchen I can see a clump up napkin laying on the countertop. When I opened it up, I can see the pearly white dentures my mother had received three days before. There was no happy dance. There was no singing of joy, or anything of that nature, just the look of realization that my mother had gotten me lol. So with that said. The restaurant : Had really good food Very pleasant wait staff Very clean kitchen Helpful kitchen staff From the bottom of my heart, thank all of you for being so kind, friendly , and helpful. ”
“ Great Mexican food. Nice atmosphere; very relaxed. Courteous wait staff. Convenient location. ”
“ A sign that a place is good is that it's always busy, all day long. This is one such place. I always have to wait to be seated in their large, dimly lit, establishment, but never more than a few minutes. I always enjoy waiting for my food while I look at the ads on the tables, the art on the walls and booths, and enjoy the amazing chips and salsa they have to offer. Everything is always so clean! The Burrito Rio Grande is my go-to pick when I dine here, it's loaded with beans, rice, onions and a generous helping of slightly blackened steak tips, and smothered in queso and enchilada sauce, everything a growing boy needs! There are no sides with it because everything you could want is already inside of it. Their staff is always amazing and friendly, and I always tip them accordingly, as they work hard and provide an amazing experience, whether it's lunch or dinner. El Giro is a Mobile treasure, and should be experienced for yourself! ”
“ This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Mobile. They have good food that is typically served quickly after it's been ordered. Nice atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend trying this place out. I think the prices are reasonable as well. ”
“ Hands down, favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Quick service, and the food is amazing! ”
“ The margs will get us going let me tell you! Woo everytime we come in to town to visit family we come here. The drinks are strong and delicious! From the outside it does not look like a great place but some of the best places are a hole in the wall. The el pollo Michoacano was amazing. It is larger portions so splitting with someone is the best idea. Or you can take some to go for another day. Street tacos you can't go wrong with the chicken and shrimp are definitely the best ones. ”
