El ZunZún - Mexican restaurant in Vestavia Hills - 4105 Crosshaven Dr, USA

The owner replied “best wishes,” which assures me that they don’t care about making sure their customers are pleased :) While the atmosphere is great, the service is alright as well as the food. For the price you pay, you’d think you’ll get great quality- it’s average food. I ordered enchiladas with ground beef and they were okay. The salsa is warm and tastes like a chargrilled pepper. The queso was great! The guacamole had pumpkin or sunflower seeds which threw me off- as well as sweet taste. The server was in a rush- moving very quickly. I appreciate the twist to Latin food- but I’m going to stick to the places I know!

Food had very little flavor. Drinks were good.

Loved the beautiful private party room! The fun decorations and the amazing food! The server Isa was so friendly and very efficient serving drinks and anything we needed. I will definitely plan other parties here!

Overall the food was pretty good. I didn’t care for the salsa being warm temperature wise, but that’s just my opinion. Service was good and my server was nice and prompt. I was sad to watch how many employees played with their phones instead of helping guests. I watched the hostess totally ignore a family waiting to be sat while she played some game on her phone. I watched the bar tender and other severs constantly play with their phones as well. Once I asked for a napkin and was totally ignored by the person as they had headphones on and didn’t even hear or acknowledge me. I expect good service at restaurants where the guest care is more important than a cell phone. This resulted in a much lower score than what I would have given. Management should address the phones. Even now as I’m writing this 5 employees are on their phones while I’m sitting here waiting for a check….not good service.

El Zunzun is a really fun place to try in Birmingham. My dining partner and I enjoyed an array of dishes. The steak served over grilled cactus was quite good. We also enjoyed the mole trio. My only complaint is that the prices are rather high. I do recommend familiarizing yourself with the menu prior to dining, as it is a lot to take in.

We had a small party last night and had the best buffet. Tacos were delicious. I only had four but I could have had more. Will definitely be back soon.

As it was our first time, we tried a lot of things. We got the guacamole, which was good, but the fried cheese was fantastic. Highly recommend! For the main course, we had steak fajitas and the Chile relleno. Both were very good. We also had the church's which were crispy and delish but needed some ice cream or whipped cream. The watermelon margarita was stout and delish.

We had a family celebration for my grandson's upcoming wedding. Leah and her staff were wonderful. We had a great time with fantastic food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant.
