This place is located in a furniture store. Nevertheless, I headed there to grab a quick snack. The furniture store seems neat and clean, but the cafe here looks chaotic and untidy, and somehow doesn’t fit to the rest of the place at all. However, I ordered a veggie quesadilla to dine in and I was not disappointed by the food. The taste of the food was excellent and freshly prepared in my opinion. The price was affordable and I would order exactly the same again.

It’s definitely a different experience going to a furniture store to get tacos but it was delicious. We will go back for seconds. The price was reasonable and the young girl was very sweet.

Don’t be fooled by the small size cafe inside of Ashley furniture this is the best place to go even if you are on a budget the food is phenomenal and get their water made for that day from fresh fruit.

Don’t let this cafe being in a furniture store throw you off. It is DELICIOUS! Pluses are that there is a very friendly staff, simple but well seasoned food, and low prices. My friends and I tried the menudo and it was the cleanest and freshest tasting menudo we’ve ever had. The tacos we tried- al pastor, asada, chorizo, and another I don’t remember were all perfect and even better than any taco truck in Bhm. Can’t wait to come back!

First of all, do not trust your GPS. This amazing place is IN the Ashely Furniture store. That being said, these are some of the best tacos I’ve had in Birmingham! The meat is super flavorful, the salsas are homemade and add even more depth to the already delicious tacos. The staff is amazing as well. Do yourself a favor and try this awesome place out!

I had the pleasure of visiting El Gran Cafe Castillo in Birmingham, and it was an absolute delight! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The decor is charming, with a perfect blend of modern touches and traditional accents that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the café.
The menu is a treasure trove of authentic Latin American flavors. I ordered the Arepas with a side of plantains, and every bite was bursting with freshness and flavor. The coffee was also exceptional—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. You can tell they take pride in sourcing the best beans.
What really stood out to me, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure a great experience. They even took the time to explain the origins of some of the dishes, which added a special touch to the meal.
El Gran Cafe Castillo is more than just a place to grab a bite; it’s an experience that celebrates food, culture, and community. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or sitting down for a full meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!
