We came here to celebrate a milestone birthday. The restaurant and its staff were very accommodating and made our event memorable. We started with some great specialty drinks, and an order of guacamole and chips and salsa and chips-love the 4 varieties of salsa! Then a tortas dish, 2 taco dishes and a salad, were even willing to add chicken to the salad. Finished off with a chocolate and banana birthday dessert-everything was wonderful. Thanks for making our evening special!

Al Chulo is my all-time favorite restaurant. The margaritas are exceptional and the food ... oh the food!!! Always fantastic! So fresh and flavorful. Some may complain about the size of the tacos. I’m more about the flavors they pack into those things. Creamy or smooth salsas made from fresh peppers (you never know what the heat will be like on any given day because..nature! , the freshest most perfect guacamole, and all the tacos are wonderful but we are crazy about the shrimp ones. The Al Camaleon (I think that’s the way it’s spelled but you get the gist is our absolute #1 favorite. Try it. Take your time. It’s all amazing.

The food here is exceptional and tastes like authentic Mexican cuisine—nothing like the tacos from Taco Bell. These tacos are delicious! The service is also excellent.
