We had a fantastic dinner here! The chips came out warm and extra crisp, served with both a green salsa and a red salsa, each full of flavor and just the right level of spice. The margarita was refreshing and perfectly balanced, with a chili-salt rim and fresh orange slice garnish.
For our mains, we tried the Carne Asada street tacos and the Al Pastor street tacos — both were excellent, packed with flavor, and felt authentically prepared. To finish, the flan was smooth, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending.
The outdoor seating was relaxed and comfortable, and the service was friendly and attentive without being rushed. Overall, everything from start to finish made for a really enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back!

The menu was interesting and the dishes we ordered were fairly well executed. Unfortunately, the Sangria was made with something that gave it a strong coconut taste, which made it undrinkable to me. The grilled prawns on the fajita dish were plentiful, but very bland. The server mostly seemed in a hurry ( the restaurant was almost empty) and he seemed slightly annoyed at having to take our orders. Overall, I think there are better options in Birmingham, but I wouldn’t refuse to eat there again.

El ZunZun is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant. We go at least once a week, and it never disappoints. The fajitas are consistently excellent, the quesadillas are comforting and flavorful, and the queso is absolutely amazing — truly addictive. Their top-shelf margaritas are tasty, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.
The chips are always perfectly crisp, and the salsas are authentic and delicious. Beyond the food, the staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, which makes every visit feel like home. The atmosphere, both indoors and out, is comfortable, festive, and ideal for everything from a casual weeknight dinner to gathering with friends.
A true neighborhood gem — we love El ZunZun and can’t recommend it enough.

This the place to go if you’re looking for authentic, delicious elevated Mexican food in Birmingham, Alabama! The margaritas are fabulous, the freshly made blue corn tortillas are a game changer and I’ve yet to have anything other than a stellar experience with the wonderful staff. They are so accommodating and just plain nice. And if you want the best churros around look no further. I highly recommend!

My family and I love Zun Zun. Such a fun atmosphere. The food and service is always wonderful. For a night at home but don’t feel like cooking for four people, you can’t beat the family taco dinner. The price is as amazing as the food and we typically get 2 dinners out of it.

Rarely do I write a review but WOW!! El ZunZun was amazing. The ambience, service and food. You could tell that the owner really wanted an authentic restaurant and they knocked it out of the ballpark!! The food was so fresh and that Hummingbird Margarita! Can’t wait to go back.

The food was delicious, but the wait staff was even better. Our waiter knew the menu thoroughly and was able to tell us how the sauces differed from one another and how spicy things were. He was terrific.

My fav is the churros. So delicious and you get so many for a good price. Way better than going to the Churro spot in the summit where you pay like $10 for one churro. Any I loveeeee the service. The waitress there named Yanira is so amazing. She is so personal with guest and never gets my order wrong. She alone makes this place worth it.
