Little Donkey Mexican Hoover

I visited this restaurant while waiting for a meeting at a local business. The food was absolutely excellent, with real authentic cooking. The corn tortillas were freshly made in-house, and I tried the fried chicken and smoked brisket tacos. The brisket was a bit difficult to eat in taco form (it was in nice big chunks on the tortilla) but it was so delicious that I ended up eating it with my fingers. The flavor was perfectly seasoned, leaving me wanting more. I would definitely give this place a 10/10 and I am guaranteed to return within a few weeks.

We had a wonderful experience dining at this restaurant. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. It had been a while since our last visit, but the delicious food made it worth the wait. The patio dining experience was perfect, and the Birmingham sunsets were a highlight. The fried chicken was flavorful, and the smoked chicken burrito was definitely a must-try.

A local golfer recommended The Little Donkey to us, and we are so glad he did! While on our trip, we were looking for local restaurants to try something new. The Little Donkey was a fantastic experience. It is situated in an upscale part of the city and has a lively and exciting atmosphere. We started with chips with three different salsas and guacamole. The guacamole was fresh and simple, yet very tasty. We also tried the brisket quesadilla, which was fabulous! We are fans of Mexican cuisine, but often find many restaurants to be similar. The Little Donkey boasts a unique Mexican menu that we thoroughly enjoyed. The service was attentive, and overall it was a fabulous dining experience.

I ordered yesterday by ubereats and I hate to say that, but I must. I have eaten more than once in their restaurant and addressed people. the chicken is in the usually delicious and damp. I ordered half a chicken and every piece accepted for the upper leg was cooked and dried. so disappointed. I was missing. I know everyone cook should know you shouldn't cook white meat as long as it's dark. the good thing is that ubereats has refunded my money. I sent her pic.

Really enjoyed this place. Friendly staff, open kitchen layout, and freshly made tortillas (to order) from flour or corn masa. Its cool that you can see them puff up right in front of you.The best way I can describe this place is a southern food inspired, mexican restaurant. Imagine bbq meats with tex-mex toppings and salsas.They have nice happy hour specials (3 to 6pm daily) and an interesting $2 special available all-day. The free chips and salsa are also a nice touch for the business traveler trying to triage the 100 emails he got during a face to face meeting....Highly recommend the tacos. I plan on replicating the oaxacan cheese steak taco for my next dinner party. Pro-tip: use a fork and knife first to get the amount of taco filling down. Once it is around the 30 to 40% mark, eat the taco in handheld mode as is the norm.2019 Update:Do you like tamales? If so, highly recommend trying them here (see photos). As stated before, this place is amazing.2022 Update:Place is still awesome. If you are still reading this review, you should just go and try it yourself.
