Our family and friends have been eating at El Cazador for many years. We have had consistently good experience with the food and service. I had the combination dinner with 1 each taco, enchilada and chalupa. My husband enjoyed his shrimp tacos but said the sauce (on the side) was too hot for him. You might want to sample it before you pour it over the tacos. Our server made sure our drink glasses were filled and that the chip basket was full of warm chips.

The hubby and I went with another couple on a Wednesday night. It took a while to be seated, but spaces at the bar were available and we didn't have a problem waiting. Service was super friendly and reasonably fast for as full as they were. I got the al carbon street tacos. Fantastic! Hubby got a chicken burrito. It stole the show! Huge plate of food. Wine was only $4.50/glass because of a special. Cheese dip and chips were on point. My friends shared the salmon. Plenty of food for two. I will definitely go back. Yum!

If you like just a taste of this and that - and who doesn't? This is the place for you. Tapas are perfect for a little taste. The regular menu here is also very good and plenty to order if you plan on sharing with others at the table. I ordered three pork tacos and they were delicious! I can imagine how busy this great restaurant is during the summer. Don;t let that dissuade you. It is worth a wait.Service is good and friendly.

Rojo is a great place to bring a group of friends. They have plenty of seating and a great menu. They have a mexican food menu and an american food menu, which is great for big groups. They also have great local beers and great drinks. Thanks so much for the review! We love big groups. We also have a side room that you can reserve for parties :)

My family and I ate here from a suggestion of local Samford students. I can see why the kids are drawn to it...quick, cheap, busy location. I thought it was good, but definitely not the best taco I had ever had. Also, be prepared to wait....we've never seen the line when it wasn't out the door.
