Little Donkey Mexican Restaurant - Hoover

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: Plac

Fresh and yummy! I ordered the chicken burrito bowl and it was really good (tons of flavor and high-quality ingredients). Also ordered some, unfortunately, undercooked churros—seemed like they would have been tasty if fully cooked though.

Good service. Dips for chips were different but good. Fresh food.
