Little Donkey Méxican Restaurant | Homewood

I really enjoyed lunch at this spot. The salsa was unique and the verde was really good. I had a couple of tacos and I most likely would ask for the slaw and sauce on the side next time just for how much they put on it. Cocktail was refreshing and overall good experience

The black male waiter with locs is the only reason for the one star. The food is TRASH! SO many authentic Mexican restaurants in Birmingham and these people can't even have anyone who actually is from that culture in the kitchen. Taco bell is better AND cheaper! We spent $140 for a family of 4 and are actively looking to dispute the charge bc the food was SO bad! We got brisket nachos (with Rodney Scott next door, they are ACTIVELY playing in customers faces with that non seasoned bs), tamales (no flavor), enchiladas (another with no salt not pepper used while cooking), a hamburger (only saving grace. 8/10), and three tacos (2 pork, 1 chicken, NEITHER of which was seasoned), 2 lime aids, a sprite, a water, and 2 Mexican firing squads (the bartender was doing his BIG one! The drinks were AMAZING!!). If you're looking for AUTHENTIC Mexican food, go ANYWHERE else but here!!!

The atmosphere and service here are nice, but the food is average and doesn't justify the price. While the appetizer was good, the rest of the meal was disappointing.

I'm a first timer to Little Donkey Mexican restaurant and it did not disappoint. 4:45 on Monday. A unique Mexican Restaurant. They caught me off guard a little when chips and salsa weren't on my table as I sat down and they didnt have many options for soda. I understand now it's for a good cause. A few different salsa's to choose from. I chose the arbol salsa(sweet and spicy). The salsa was not similar to any ive ever had and it is delicious. My 3 tacos came quickly. Although they were kind of small, they were packed with great flavor. El Pastork pork, Gulf Redfish, Smoked Beef Brisket. Each taco had its own unique flavor. Although i haven't been a fan of Churro's in the past over never had them come with chocolate so why not give something another shot. Can't beat a little chocolate to finish off a meal. Churro's came out smelling and tasting freshly made. The chocolate was warm and delicious. Again, all of it had such unique flavor. All delicious, great atmosphere, and service.

Had a great time here! Had the smoked chicken quesadilla and the strawberry and dragonfruit agua Fresca and it DID NOT disappoint! Had an amazing server (Aspen) who was happy to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of the meal. The booths are a bit uncomfortable because the tables don’t overlap the seats very well, but other than that, this place is a must-try!

Limited menu. The service is always friendly and the quick. Great place to grab some lunch. This is my second time here and to be honest don't think I would come back. It is overpriced Mexican food without the flavor. Very lack-luster. It is upscale Mexican food, but not worth the hype. I will say that the flour tortillas are very good and freshly made.

Would recommend to anyone every night of the week. Environment is so nice and the staff are friendly. The food is impeccable, full of incredible flavors. I would recommend getting chips and salsa with a side of queso for an appetizer. The meat is so delicious. I would recommend to locals and those who are visiting!

Our first time at this location and it did not disappoint. First off, let me mention the wonderful service provided by Oscar. Not only did he make sure we had everything we needed but his recommendation for the Saturday Special was spot on. Best Mexican fusion I think I've ever had! The food was excellent - hot, fresh and more than satisfying. Plus there was enough to share or have some left over to take home (which I did). I am so glad that we chose Little Donkey for our Saturday lunch and you can rest assured that we'll be back soon for more excellent cuisine. I highly recommend.

My $12 watermelon margarita was SO refreshing. I ate before I came so I didn't try any food out but it smelled so good in there that I definitely want to come back during their happy hour and see what it's talking about. Service was good and the ambiance of the place is so welcoming and comfortable!

I have had Little Donkey on my list of try for years. I moved away from Birmingham so that is a big reason why it has been years but I had an opportunity on a Sunday passing through. Little Donkey's slogan is "Mexican Food with Southern Soul." Your Mexican favorites are on the menu but so is Fried Chicken and BBQ. If you are wanting a cheap Mexican place where you can eat your fill of salsa and chips with a few dollars to spend on tacos and such, this isn't the place. It costs $4 for salsa and chips but they even that out with having 4 different types to choose from. We chose the 2 mildest ones - Rojo and Verde. Both salsas were phenomenal! The Verde I liked a little more as it had a more rich taste to it. We also ordered the Queso and it was good, but nothing special especially for the price tag on it. My wife and I game-planned to get the most we could out of Little Donkey. I chose the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Mexican Corn while my wife ordered the Brisket Quesadilla. My wife enjoyed her Brisket Quesadilla. The BBQ sauce on the side was unique as it was more like a jam. There was a lot of hoopla to Little Donkey's Fried Chicken. The manager told me I was going to enjoy it and the menu gave it a lot of praise. However, mine was too tough to chew, inedible, and almost flavorless except for the Wickles Pickles. I asked my server if she could help me out and told her what my dilemma was. She got me another sandwich and the 2nd one was a lot more juicy and easy to chew. Little Donkey went the extra mile after the chicken sandwich flop as they not only fixed the chicken sandwich, but gave us churros! My wife, stepson, and I agreed these were the best churros we've ever had! The manager knew it was my first time and he didn't want it to be my last time! Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! The service I received at Little Donkey helped it out a lot. They fixed my food when I asked for their help and threw in the best part of the meal - churros! The salsas and churros were the best part! Everything else was all right but I would come back to Little Donkey because of the helpfulness of the service.

I hadn't been to this location since they moved from their other Homewood location and it was really nice inside. Much larger. I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. We had a reservation for a large group so were able to be seated quickly. But they must be severely understaffed. The place was busy I will give them that but everything took forever. We had been there about an hour and hadn't even been asked to order. It took a long time to even get the chance to order our drinks and then took about 30 more minutes before we were able to order. I think it took 2.5 hours and half of that was us trying to order. Frozen margarita was good, queso and chips were good and my meal was okay. I got the chicken burrito bowl. They were out of two of the drinks on the menu. I will give it one more try and am hoping it was an off night but that wait to order was crazy

We finally made it back to Little Donkey! We tried 2 other times but 3 is the charm. We were sat down immediately. It's early date night. Our server is Kyle. Thanks for your attentiveness and service. Now on to this food. For Apps we had chips and salsa, Rojo and Verde, great choices. Yum! Bae got the Picado salad with grilled chicken. He loved it. I got the La Cocina with the carnita and fried chicken tacos, rice and beans with a side of street corn. Delish. I could only eat the carnitas taco, so good. Yall already know, when I'm happy, I'll be back.

I would say most things about our meal were good. Our server was a nice guy. I am putting this review up so hopefully something can be done about outdoor seating. Our entire meal we were swarmed by like 20 flies. One ended up in my margarita. At that point, we were over it and just left after paying. I would suggest more fans or even screen window coverings for outside. If you are a future guest save yourself the trouble and sit inside.

Everything about this place is amazing! My family and I grew up in Birmingham, and we always seem to make it back by here. The food is incredible, and customer service is also top notch! You can't go wrong with sitting inside or outside on the patio, but great environment to bring friends or family for a modern & fun twist on Mexican food!

Somewhere between 3-4 stars. Maybe I'd be more confident the 4 stars if I ate there rather than getting our order to-go. The interior appeared to be lovely, and the workers I met were all very pleasant. Our order was prompt and fresh. We got the "Queso Con Carne," and I was not a fan. The amount of oil on top was unappealing. I tried pouring some off and then mixing it to help. Sadly, it didn't. It lacked any spice or real flavor. The occasional piece of brisket was delicious though. But I would not get this again. We also got 2 of the salsas, and I did enjoy these! The chips were good...occasionally too salty...but good. We got 3 tacos. I ate the fish one. It was okay. I appreciate the homemade tortillas. That's always a win in my book (and maybe why I'm rounding up my stars). Overall it lacked some depth in flavor. Needed more seasoning. The slaw on top was heavy and somewhat sweet. I wish it had some brightness to it to balance out the fried fish and of course would love some spice. We also got a side of the corn, which comes still on the cob. Seemed like a small amount for $5, but it was yummy! All in all, I won't come out of our way to order from here again. Maybe we will give them another try whenever we can dine in. Giving them the benefit of the doubt and rounding up!

The food was pretty good, but the rice could definitely use some more seasoning as it was really bland. The steak taco was my favorite with really tender and well seasoned meat. The prices are steeper than other local Mexican restaurants in the area without having free chips and salsa. However, service was great, and the atmosphere was nice.

Had to eat after medical procedure and had this place bookmarked so why not today? The staff was warm and friendly. I had the sweet tea while reviewing the menu. I decided to go with the chicken sandwich and corn off the cob. I don't know why I didn't try the fried chicken and regret it even today. Anyway my sandwich was great. Hot, crispy and ranch dressing didn't alter the texture of the chicken. The corn tasted like summer. I could make a meal of their corn and tomato slices. It was a wonderful southern, fried chicken sandwich, fresh corn and sweet tea! I was parked right outside in the private rear lot. It was convenient, clean and shared by another business connected to the building. It wasn't crowded when I arrived but there wasn't many empty spaces when I left 45 minutes later. I enjoyed my lunch very much.

Great food! Great Service! The delicious smell Of fresh food hits you when you get out of your car in the back parking lot. I'm sure the restaurant next door is contributing to that appeal as well! Go check it out!

Awful service If you eat there and you complain Be ready for them to argue with you And not come back Because management will not do anything

Great and lively atomosphere! Great drinks and tasty menu--quesadillas were delicious. Attentive staff!

I DON'T WANT TO TACO BOUT IT! Birmingham that has tons of Mexican restaurants in and around the city. Some great, some just okay and some down right bad. Little Donkey has been on my list for a good while now, though I have heard some mixed reviews through the grapevine. It being a part of the Pihakas restaurant group, I was really expecting it to be grand, but in all reality it was just okay. For those unfamiliar the Pihakas Restaurant group is a restaurant chains that all fall under the same bracket or umbrella as each other. Some other restaurants in this group are: Rodney Scott's, Hero Doughnuts, and the newest one being the Greek concept Tasty Town. All of these restaurants have the same overall values and culture, which is awesome and great for an upcoming city like Birmingham. After contemplating where to go to dinner tonight with some friends, we had landed on The Battery in Homewood, but when we got there it was crazy busy. So we decided on heading to Little Donkey instead. It was crowded, but not super crowded, given it being a Friday night around 7:15 pm. Once we walked up to the front door a nice young lady came over and held the door open for us. It was very kind and unexpected. Southern hospitality at its finest here. Once we were seated we were introduced to a nice young lady as our waitress, her name was Ryan. When she asked to take our drink menu, we were not ready, but so she walked away to grab us some waters. In the mean time another lady came over and asked us the same question. She took over our table and shoved Ryan out of the way. I did not like that. Not one bit. Jasmine and I both ordered some cocktails to kick off the meal. I got the Fresca Spritz and she got the bushwacker. She had asked our waitress which of the frozen drinks to get and she told Jasmine the bushwacker was top tier. Once we got our drinks, we then ordered apps and food. The bushwacker Jasmine did not like and our waitress was on top of us hounding us about it our entire meal. The apps we got were the guacamole and quesso. The guacamole did not have any salt or real true flavor to it whatsoever, and the quesso was bland and very watered down. I would like to compare this quesso to the quesso at chipotle. Watery and nasty. It does not take much to add some seasoning to the top of the quesso for a little extra color and flavor. Shockingly everyone ordered a bowl. Jasmine got the spicy bowl which again our waitress recommended and told her that it had a kick. Langston ordered the smoked pork burrito bowl and I got the smoked chicken burrito bowl. Jasmine commented that her bowl did not just have a kick to it she felt as though she was eating fire. No matter what she added to it, the spiciness was not letting up. I was really hoping to like Little Donkey as I have enjoyed all of the other Pihakas Res Group restaurants, but this one was not a top tier experience for me. From Jasmine being told to order different things and not liking them, to a waitress pushing another waitress out of the way to grab a certain table of people. This was not an enjoyable experience. I will have to say, the waitress did notice Jasmine not liking her cocktail and winded up comping it from the check, which was definitely a perk, but not enough of a perk to award another star to this rating. Glad I gave Little Donkey a try, but I will not be coming back.

If you're like me, you're here on Yelp looking for a good place to eat in your current location. If you're in Homewood (Birmingham area), you must check out the original Little Donkey in Homewood. This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is phenomenal and the service is top notch. The menu offers Mexican dishes with a Southern flare. Our server Ella recommended several dishes which were thoroughly enjoyed. Recommendations from Ella included Smoked Brisket Quesadilla (this was huge - great if you're hungry), and Fish Tacos with Corn Tortillas (delicious). Our group also enjoyed Chips and Queso, Smoked Chicken Quesadilla, Mexican Street Corn (get it on the cob - amazing!) and a Chicken Tender Kid's Meal. The manager, Cedric, came over and checked on us several times along with our server Ella. Our drinks were kept full, which was much appreciated. At the end of our meal, Cedric had our leftovers boxed up and bagged so we could take it with us. Lovely ambiance with chill vibes! We'll be back!!

Holy Moly the smoked brisket quesadilla is incredible! I wish I had a second stomach so I could have finished it. Delicious. On a Saturday night around 7pm we waited for a table 30 minutes and now I know why- this place makes great food! Food is a five, atmosphere a four. Service was satisfactory.

The food was not good. The service was nice. The ambiance is pleasant and fun. I would not go back to eat at Little Donkey because the tacos were not good.

Love coming here. I got the smoked chicken quesadilla, Mexican street corn, and queso cup. There are plenty of seats. You could sit in a booth or an open table. There is also plenty of street parking and parking behind the building

I visited this location today and throughly enjoyed my experience! The food was great. I forgot to take a picture of the food because I was so excited to eat. We arrived in time for happy hour and I'm so glad we did! The drinks were so good! I would definitely go back!

RESTAURANT THE SPOT Little Donkey 2701 18th St S, Homewood, AL 35209 Hey y'all! I had the chance to try the new and improved Little Donkey since they've moved to the new location and it was delightful. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. My Order Queso con carne (our cheese dip topped with brisket burnt ends, pico, cilantro) Fried chicken sandwich (crispy chicken breast, chipotle creama, Wickles pickles, with choice of side) fries El pastor taco (slow smoked pork, pineapple, salsa arbol, cilantro) Frozen margarita (blanco tequila, agave, lime) with added orange swirl Let's get into it! The queso con carne was life! The brisket burnt ends really gave it the razzle dazzle it was needing. Would highly recommend. The fried chicken sandwich was okay but it's nothing I have to have again. The sauce is what made the sandwich what it was. I didn't care for the wickles and would've preferred regular pickles. The fries were a hit though! Seasoned down. The el pastor taco was delicious!! So much flavor with each bite. I don't care for pineapples but couldn't even tell they were on the taco! The frozen margarita did what needed to be done! The orange swirl really added something extra to it in a good way. I've never heard of an orange flavored margarita but it was what I never knew I needed Overall, i give Little Donkey an 8/10. If you have been before, definitely add them to your list! Ask for Hailey for your waitress if she's there. Her customer service was A1! She didn't let us go without anything the whole time we were there. Check them out and be sure to let me know what you think!

We were actually on the way to Rodney Scott's for BBQ. We sopped here for happy hour and ended up ordering a few items. Really good Mexican spot that we will be revisiting each time we are in the area. The queso was delicious and spicy. The brisket was well seasoned and very tender. Came back the next day and ordered takeout. Definitely recommend. Bus hawkers were excellent!

Went here yesterday for lunch me and wife she had burritos I had shrimp and scallops it was pretty decent wifey didn't like the strawberry margaritas

Fish tacos are good. That's about it. Not a fan of their guac, chips are way too thin to dip and pick up anything substantial. The beans are bland, rice was over cooked, fried fish (not in a taco) was dry. Drinks are so-so.

The service and food was fabulous! You must try the hand made flour tortillas with carnitas. The steak fajitas were also some of the best I have had in a very long time. The patio seating is great! Cedric is all smiles with great energy and Emily was super attentive to all of our needs!

I highly recommend the fried chicken it's the best in the Metro. This place never disappoints. Great food!! service is always top notch. I have never had a bad meal @ the little donkey.

Staff was nice and hospitable. I get steak fajitas everywhere I go for Tex-Mex, and these were by far the worst I've ever had in Birmingham. The food was ready quickly - which I suspect was the problem. My steak was undercooked in the middle, charred and unchewable on the outside. I didn't even make it home before I started to feel ill.

The food, service and ambiance were perfect for our lunch. There were 3 in our party and all tried a different menu option. The fried chicken was delicious and so were the salad and fajitas. Sadie was our server and she did an outstanding job taking care of us!

Everything I've eaten here has been delicious, service is fast and the owner makes rounds to ensure customers are pleased.

Probably some of the best Mexican food I've had in awhile! I really loved the food and service here. We ordered the following and everything was so delicious: Appetizer: chips and salsa-we chose the rojo and verde. Both were delicious! Entree: La Cocina tacos: gulf fish and fried chicken with rice and black beans!!! Smoked beef brisket quesadilla: probably the best Mexican entree I've had in a very long time! The brisket was seasoned to perfect!! The quesadilla was so good, I've been talking about it all week. Our waitress recommended this as my entree and I am so happy she did. Cocktails: Oaxaca old fashion: Firing squad: really good; subbed the house tequila for Don Julio

The food was delicious, we got the BEST server! Brianna was exceptional at menu recommendations for me, as I have celiac. Everything she recommended was delicious. We got the shrimp fajitas, the corn tortillas were yummm! Everything was great. We sat outside where it was quiet and truly enjoyed our dining experience. Brianna was engaging, welcoming and I'm so grateful we got an awesome server who was genuinely happy to see us after a long journey. I hope everyone meets her! She made us feel like family!

We went on a Friday. It was packed, but we were seated quickly. Service was great. Food killed it as well. Will definitely be back.

I really don't know why it's mexican themed but there is nothing Mexican about this place. This was my worst experience with any restaurants. I really don't think this place should be open in the first place.

Little donkey is a go to staple in birmingham. Classic Mexican with a soulful flare. The wait is never too long and the chips are ever flowing. Great date night spot if you want quality Mexican.

We always love stopping here when traveling through Birmingham. Food and cocktails are consistently good, and the service is great. Alissa took such good care of us last night! Hard working and so personable, this young lady is going places! The manager was exceptional as well (hate that I missed her name?!) But she was hustling to ensure everything was smooth and we were taken care of quickly. A few storms had the patio reshuffling, and ALL the staff was right there to ensure we were all good. Highly recommend stopping in here!

I've been trying to get to little donkey because they seemed to be tailor made just for my pallet. A Mexican spot with award winning fried chicken! Me and couple of my girls stopped in for happy hour around 5. It was a Friday and we were able to get a seat on the patio with no wait. One thing that threw me is there is no complimentary chips and salsa, ugh! We ordered queso and the frozen margarita! The queso was good but the chips were really thick with a heavy corn taste... almost tasting like Fritos. The margarita came in a tall glass which excited me and it was delicious, however it was weak and underwhelming... ugh again. The food came out we all ordered a little bit of everything so I got the opportunity to taste test. Deliciously flavored - The street corn, the fried chicken, the carnitas taco was top notch! Different but tasty - smashed potatoes, the wings, catfish taco (the sauces are a little spicy) The worst rice and beans I've ever had. The service was ok. The lady that brought the drinks, spilled a whole frozen margarita on my friend. She was very apologetic and they comped her drinks but I wish the manager had come out to address it. This would probably not be my mexican spot of choice but I'll probably go back... at least to get carnitas to go! They were very memorable, possibly the best carnitas I've had! It's worth a try if you've not been... go early. It gets pretty crowded after 630.

Love the new location! Food and drinks were delicious as always. My only request is that all of the servers would disclose that serrano peppers are what's used in the margaritas when you request spicy. Found that out the hard way the first time.

Little Donkey has been around for some time, but this was my first time trying it. I was pretty disappointed! Given all the buzz I had heard about it, I was sad to find the food bland and the restaurant forgettable. I had a little donkey burrito and chose to have it smothered with green sauce, quezon, and cream. The burrito was large but it wasn't anything special. The elote was overcooked. My friend had the fried chicken, and it was dry and flavorless. I enjoyed my drink, a spin on a margarita that was smoky and complex. All in all, there are other places in town that I'd rather spend my money at.

Sandie is lit! She provides great service. She's vibrant and read the table well. Most waiters at Little Donkey can be stale and seem timid but Sandie is amazing.

First time dining in and me and the hubby loved it. Perfect for a date night. The queso con carne for appt was delicious, we split the fajitas and they were super yummy! We both tried lots of their margaritas and they were fantastic! Strong and flavorful! Must end with the churros for dessert with a bushwhacker. SO GOOD. Service was great as well. We will be returning!

Worst service ever!! There was 1 person besides myself sitting at the bar. Not busy in the restaurant. Hannah was the bartender/server. Ordered soup, she never came back to check how I was doing. Then I had to wait for 15 minutes to get my check, and another 20 to get an iced tea to go. Soup was floating in grease. It had more chunks of fat than pork. I don't know what's happened to this place but the food sucks. Hannah was more concerned with stocking the bar and standing around.

Good food, good ambiance, Hayden was great! P.s. for the chef, one of the people at my table had a little overcharged steak, but everything else was delicious thanks LD

Some of my favorite Mexican food in Birmingham! So delicious!! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! The frozen margaritas are also so yummy!!

Went to dinner here tonight and honestly, our waiter, George, made the night more fun than we could have imagined. We do have an odd sense of humor and messed with him a little bit. He took it in stride. Our group appreciated that. The food is what we're all here for tho. The food is phenomenal. The salsa is not your regular Mexican restaurant salsa. If you're a foodie, and you feel like Mexican food all taste the same-stop right there and try this place. You will stop and think to yourself, am I on vacation? This isn't your normal taco joint. Trust me. Get a funky drink. Order two tacos. And for the love, ask for George.

Best Mexican in Birmingham. Extremely reasonable price for the high quality you get. Really well crafted cocktails and the fish tacos were amazing. Large enough portions where I felt satisfied without feeling stuffed from greasy fried foods. They have an amazing porch which is a fun place for a drink while the sunsets all nestled right in the downtown square.

Welp started with the wobbly table outside. Never got a waiter until we ask for one. Placed beer orders, got one totally wrong. Ordered tacos they came out quickly, not hot at all, so called rice was probably cooked in a microwave. Waiter needs more training, seemed lost while taking drink and food orders. Will not come back.

As soon as the doors opened I was here for an early lunch! It wasn't crowded so I was seated immediately inside. I love a good patio experience but it was already SO hot at a little after 11 am. Bree , my server took really good care of me during my visit . She kept the cokes flowing. Although, something stronger to drink would have been nice ; I opted for a coke / water instead. For my meal I had the 2 piece white fried chicken. They have some of the best fried chicken and it's very unassuming! Hands down , it's the best thing on their menu in my opinion. I was semi disappointed by the size of the chicken breast but the flavor and crispiness made up for it! Whatever you do , do not skip out on the malt vinegar to go with the fried chicken. You're tastebuds may just slap you if you do! Have I convinced you to try the fried chicken yet? Good! You won't regret it.

I've been coming to Little Donkey since they opened. It had great food, vibes, and prices. Inflation has been on going the past year, but I just don't agree with the changes to great menu items, and the high increases to the menu items either. If your food doesn't taste high-end, why charge high-end prices? If you're okay with sub par $35-$38 fajitas good on you. I'd much rather go to El Barrio or Pablo's at the Colonnade(280). The fried chicken is still great though!

The service was great. Rebecca made our experience delightful. The food was delicious. There was brisket, chicken, and fish on our plates. It was all amazing. The ambiance was nice without being snobbish.

Thank You George! Food, service, and fresh ingredients were on par tonight. You even helped take care of my little lady who has a gluten allergy, thanks for your utmost care as a server! We will be back next time in the area!

Alan was wonderful!! Table full of needy girls celebrating a birthday and he didn't miss a single step, order AND brought us churros for dessert on the house Hope you win the contest Alan!!

Fun spot in Birmingham. I ordered the adobada bowl which was savory and flavorful, and had a nice spicy kick to it. My friend had the fried chicken and elotes. Service was great and super friendly. Came at around 3 pm though so there weren't a lot of people. I can imagine them getting so packed during peak hours.
