My family's favorite place to eat! Fresh ingredients are apparent in every dish. We love everything we've tried - LA Burrito, California Burrito, soft tacos, authentic Mexican tacos, club sandwich. The salsa is amazing. Our 6 year old asks to eat here all the time. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!
Excellent! Best Mexican food I have had in Birmingham, and I have pretty much tried all the Mexican places. This place is the real deal! The tortas are amazing. We ate their for dinner and I asked if I could order a lunch combo a dinner time. They told me you can order ANYTHING on the menu--including breakfast--at any time of day. So I ordered a lunch combo, which was more than plenty of food, and a really good deal. I cannot wait to try breakfast!
This is the best Mexican food I have ever had. We won't go anywhere else for Mexican food. The breakfast burritos are amazing and highly recommend.
It's our go-to for takeout. Right here in the neighborhood and fresh as can be. The tacos and burritos are, as mentioned, California-style and fresh. But don't sleep on the burger. Breakfast: Well, let's just say you'll often see me sitting in Starbucks of a morning with my bacon burrito. You will not be disappointed, unless your idea of Mexican is store-bought taco shells and combo plates fresh out of the microwave.
I love this place! Everything I have eaten has been awesome. I live in Florida and go every time we visit Alabaster.
Best nachos ever!!!! My children love their chicken fingers and fries! You def have to try them! ����
Best Mexican food in the Birmingham area. Great breakfast, wonderful cheeseburgers, and incredible burritos.
Excellent food and service! The tortas are to die for!

The best Mexican in Shelby co & just the nicest people who own/run it!! you will not be disappointed! Love their breakfast burritos & tacos (breakfast served all day)!!! Chicken nachos are great & salsa Verde has just the right amount of "kick" to it!!!
Food is great, the owners are friendly - we enjoy this restaurant on a weekly basis!! ❤️❤️
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Their street tacos are out of this world. I would eat them everyday if I could and at a great price, too!
So pleased there is finally a taqueria/Mexican restaurant near by or in the area that finally knows how to make the burrito and tacos the way they need to be made! From Los Angeles as well and really satisfied to take pride in the food I purchased!
Thank you
Try the Cheese burgers best in the city. The food is hot and fresh.
Absolutely amazing burritos. The Los Angeles burrito is only lacking in one area and that is that it needs to be bigger. It comes with marinated spicy carrots that are just as good as the burrito. Kinda sketchy looking on the inside but great food.
One of the best kept secrets in Shelby County. We eat here 3 to 4 times a week and our kids refer to it as the Donkey. The Tacos Mexicanos are awesome and the Breakfast is probably the best in town. If you like your salsa with a little heat ask for the green or the red at the counter. The only thing that could make this place better if they had Margaritas and Cold Beer.
5/23/16 - Los Angeles Burrito would be a perfect 5.0 if their (1) sweet tea was better and (2) salsa had some hints of garlic and cilantro with a little heat. Still, this place is a keeper and I highly recommend trying it if your around the area.
The chips are light and fresh with the perfect amount of salt. Great quesadilla with equal chicken and cheese which are browned just right!
While the name does not indicate great breakfast the omelette is the best we have had in three years living in Shelby county. Freshest of ingredients! Burritos also excellent and believe it or not...their cheeseburger s are among the best. Regular spot for us. Not fancy and you wait on yourself but with good food, who cares.
Fresh great food - great prices - can't ask for anything else. Doesn't look like anything great but that's always where the best food hides!
My husband & I ate here recently for breakfast. The food was so amazing. I had the chorizo breakfast plate with great fried potatoes & retried beans plus three tortillas. This portion was very plentiful and oh, so delicious! My hubby had two breakfast tacos with chorizo & he gladly assisted me in my breakfast platter. The owner is super friendly & happy to see two new customers. We will return soon with friends so they can experience such a fabulous foodie find! So worth the drive!!
Very good Tex-Mex breakfast. Had the Chorizo omelette. Filled with chorizo, spinach, onions, bell peppers, and covered with cheese and pico.
Out of the way for most but worth a visit if down in Alabaster area.
Best Mexican food around! We eat here multiple times a week, and love it all! Breakfast burritos are amazing, fish tacos fantastic, tried a torta the other day and love it too! Fresh, authentic and great customer service!
Great place for breakfast, Alabaster has a diamond here that people just don't know about , clean restaurant and fresh food, my wife and I frequent this hole in the wall as often as we can A+++
Carnitas sopes today.. So good. You must try it for yourself. Eat anything. I have no doubt it will be delicious.

Wow.. The food is made fresh and is so so good. First time diner and I will be back. Try the chorizo huaraches.
Delicious. Everything good, Great price! Had fried chicken sandwich today. Very good. Usually get mexicana cheeseburger. Delicious.

Delicious. Best little secret in alabaster. Food always fresh.
Delicious and authentic. Tacos, LA Burrito and salsas were all terrific. Will be back!
Awesome Burrito!!!!. The best burrito and homemade taco sauces in town!!!!

We were looking for good food near the soccer fields. It was delicious!
My family and I have been eating here for a number of years. It's ALWAYS really good and consistent! The owner is an artist and he has such a creative touch to the restaurant. (He has painted the entire restaurant himself as well as all of the artwork and you can sometimes catch him in the creative act of you come during slow hours) He will also do breakfast anytime of day and his pancakes are surprisingly good, as well as his other breakfast plates. You'll have to come back a few times to try the sandwiches, Mexican, and then the breakfast. It's Alabaster's gem. Grab a cupcake from next door to complete your experience!
This place is great. Best Mexican hole in the wall I've had in a while.
Off the beaten path but worth it if you want more of a Cali experience. Being from San Diego it's hard to find "real" Mexican food in Alabama!
There's no point in writing a long review...everything here is amazing! Consistently great food!
Very good, authentic Mexican restaurant. Be prepared to spend about $15-20 for two people. I am a healthy eater, and their food is fresh, not smothered in cheese, the veggies are abundant, and I left feeling satisfied! (not gross) Great place!
The reason I run!. I run so that I can eat here! Their breakfast burrito is what I eat to reward myself after a long run. Chorizo and bacon. Unbelievable. The avocado salsa is so refreshing, and I like to mix it with the hot salsa. I had been passing by for years and started eating breakfast there probably 8 months ago. Absolutely delicious!!!
Best Around. I can't say enough good things about LA Burrito. The food is incredible. It's always fresh and it's authentic. It's not fast food so it takes a few minutes but it's well worth the wait. LA Burrito is honestly the best Mexican food I've ever had and the staff is always incredibly nice and accommodating. If you happen to be in Alabaster you have to try this place.
We eat there once or twice a week. LA Burrito w/ steak. Very clean, polite, with excellent food. Doesn't get much better.
I love l.a. Burrito! I am a chef and foodie. I eat here weekly. I love the Mexican enchiladas, l.a. Burrito, salsa verde, and pineapple drink!!
What a let-down.. After calling to ask what time they closed and stating that we would be in to see them later, we arrived 20 minutes before closing time greeted by a locked door. When we got someone to come open up and explain why I couldn't get my taco fix we were informed they had already turned the grills off and were closed early due to a slow day.
I can understand the thought behind that completely, but when you've not eaten all day and have been looking forward to something specific for 4 hungry hours, it pisses me off.
Corn tortillas...AMAZING. The food was fresh, delicious. It's the only local place I know of that you can get hand made corn (not flour) tortillas. AND, they made my 4 year old pancakes at suppertime! I'll be going back soon!
The best fish taco I have had and I have had fish tacos all along the Gulf. Club sandwich and hamburgers are awesome too. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean and a nice family atmosphere. I'm just sorry I passed it for so long without stopping. sooner.
I truly enjoy eating at Los Angeles Burrito! I have lived here in Alabaster for 7yrs. And regret not eating there sooner. The food is genuinely authentic. I recommend everyone eat there! :)
GREAT food, CHEAP prices. We live outside of Alabaster, but my husband and I go there for lunch at least twice a month. You simply cannot beat the prices, and the food is just amazing!
Super tasty, truly authentic. I heard the buzz about this place and went to check it out--and LA Burrito lives up to the hype. I haven't had a huarache this good since I was in Mexico a handful of years ago. Their salsa verde is truly amazing--with an avocado base instead of tomatillo. Also a delicious roasted pepper salsa--all 3 of their salsas are made there. My wife ordered carne asada soft tacos which had an amazing flavor. We enjoyed talking to one of the co-owners who is also an artist. He has created a really cool vibe in an unexpected place. We were surprised and will surely be back...
How lucky are we to have this little gem right here in our hometown? we've been eating there since it was a dive in part of the BP on 119 in Alabaster and have never stopped enjoying it. everything I've had thete has been top notch and the owners are super friendly!
Very Good!. Always looking for authentic Hispanic food and LA Burrito is spot on! Great homemade tortillas and fresh ingredients. I can't wait to go back and try something different!
Tacos Azada(steak with onions and cilantro) and Tacos al Pastur were fabulous! Such a fresh and authentic taste. Limes provided the perfect finsh. All I needed was a cold beer, but unfortunately we ordered into work
Wonderful. My wife and I read about the restaurant on Urbanspoon and decided to visit. The food was very good and the staff was excellent!
Fresh Flavor. I have had breakfast and dinners and always enjoy them. The food is hot and fresh with a wonderful flavor. This a gem of a place if your looking for something from the regular ho hum... you will be very satisfied
Tacos Al Pastor absolutely to die for! Slow cooked simmered pork,onions, pineapple and spices then grilled prior to bring placed in a handmade mass corn tortilla. The chorizo taco is great! Good breakfasts too! Enjoy the artwork on the walls and windows .... All done by the owner. Great service, decent prices, authentic flavors and quality!
Best breakfast burritos around!! Quick and fresh.
Steak Soft Tacos. My wife and I went there April 18th, the staff were friendly and the steak soft tacos I had were excellent. The menu is simple and the food is fresh. The beef in the steak tacos made me crave more, however I held it in check. This is a great hole-in-the-wall place and they offer inexpensive freshly prepared food, enjoy!
This place is near my school and since is was next to the sketchiest gas station ever, I didn't expect it to be so amazing! I was presently surprised to find that the place was squeaky clean....you could eat off of the floors. Plus, they had like a 99 on their health rating. A+
Authentic Mexican food… if only they were authentic Mexican prices too! I ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were delicious. Lots of veggies and plenty of food. It’s not every day you find traditional Mexican food and cake pops at the same place. Glad I took a chance on this place. Will be back whenever I’m in town.
Food was delicious and plenty big enough for one meal. About $14 for their largest burrito meal. Only downside was they didn’t put enough chips in the box but the burrito itself was amazing!!! Lots of flavor. Polite workers
A++ authentic Mexican food! The flavor is great, food fresh, and not greesy, over slated, or smothered in cheese dip so you can actual taste the food! 100% recommend! Pictured is the California burrito and Verde enchiladas.
The California burrito was amazing! The fries in this burrito sets it apart in the most delicious way possible. I didn’t need any salsa or sauces, though they were great as well! I got the chicken and it’s was the perfect balance
I would say this is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been too! I only every get the Chorizo California Burrito, and it’s always right, delicious, and very good quality! If you have never been here, you need to give it a try. I have to stop here every time I am in Alabaster!
Very nice staff. Our group had mixed reviews. I was completely pleased. Everything I ordered was to satisfaction. However, a couple of stale chips ruined it for some of our group. Food was hot service was quick. Cheese was good. This establishment was clean. They had hand sanitizer readily available. Also a steady stream of customers picking up while we were there. Very nice menu value for the portions. We came after a soccer game in the surrounding area, and to our delight and surprise there was a soccer game on the screens. This restaurant had a sports bar type of feel. Kicked back environment even though it was not a bar. Very family oriented. Pictures and decor was amazing and delightful. The cashier was extremely patient. We appreciated that as many may get frustrated with large groups attempting to experience local gems. The cashier explained dishes over and over with each question asked by each separate family ordering. Thanks to these wonderful owners. They were exceptional....
Absolutely delicious, and the carrot cake was Amazing!!!! I may have dipped into my boyfriends plate just a little 😁 so good. We will definitely be return customer’s.
The French toast and chorizo tacos were so tasty but the breakfast omelet and the la burrito (thier namesake) the best thing I've eaten for brunch in ages. My new go to brunch spot!
