We’ve been eating at LaPaz since 1993 when we attended Birmingham Southern College. Every time we travel back to Birmingham, we can’t wait to eat at LaPaz. It has always been nothing but exceptional. Tonight, Valentine’s, we met our son and his fiancé there for dinner. We had to ask the guy cleaning a table next to us to find our waiter after waiting 12 minutes with no attention. A girl who let us know she was not our waiter came and took our drink and appetizer order. Later, we had to waive her down and ask if she could take our food order. Our food came out fast and she made sure we had everything we needed. But….after that no one checked on us again. We sat with dirty plates, had no water refills, or had anyone ask us us if we wanted anything else. Finally, after 30 minutes being done eating, we flagged her down so we could get our check. The guy who was our actual waiter (with a horrible attitude) dropped our check on the table without a word or even clearing a single plate off our table. The food was amazing, but the “lack” of service ruined it!!

La Paz is one of my go-to spots because they have my favorite guacamole. Always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made! The California quesadilla with black beans and goat cheese is absolutely delicious, with a great balance of creamy and savory flavors. Simple, satisfying, and good. Service can be inconsistent but they are always friendly. Definitely a family restaurant which can make it loud.

The service was great. Taste wise the best thing we had was the queso. However the drinks are so good you have to try the TX and the Fruit margaritas

Just moved to Birmingham and wanted to try this place and we are really glad we did. Food was very good and the ambiance was great. Chips and all dips were great and so was the quesadilla! We will be back for sure!!

One of the best in town! Obviously the salsa and queso are favorites for a reason. I’ve had queso delivered half an hour away because it’s so good! Love some La Paz!!

Great service. Seats were available without having to wait. I can’t say that I have noticed all the extra taxes that were added to the bill. AL SPECIAL Tax, Liquor by drink tax. I enjoyed my meal!

I was looking for a great authentic Mexican restaurant, and LA Paz really hit the spot. I will be back! Great food, excellent service, and great location. Loved this place!

Simply the best. I ate here after sports growing up. My mom and I had a waiter there who was the spitting image of Jim Carrey. So many memories of this place. My Paris born son looks forward to the cheese dip every time we come to Birmingham and we brought his French best friend here last week. He, of course, loved it too! We had a lovely Mexican waiter who was so nice to the boys! Thank you La Paz for staying the same. Please don’t ever change. You are an institution.

We stumbled upon this place. We tried a variety of items and all were amazing and flavored perfectly. For us, Mexican food is pretty standard across the board but they just marinate and/or season and cook everything perfectly. I got the blackberry marg (pic below) it was made well and was a refreshing treat on a hot Alabama afternoon.
