Social Taco - Taco restaurant in Homewood - 1831 28th Ave S 175 N, USA

Fantastic food! Did not disappoint! Birria tacos were on point, and the brunch Tlayudas was more than expected! The spicy margarita was delicious just not spicy enough for me. The michelada says any beer + $2 but if you get draft it will only be half a beer. Overall experience was great, we will be back!

The food was amazing!!! They have many options and being a vegetarian I love how they have even more options now for dishes without meat. The chips and salsa also the queso are all amazing and so flavorful. Our server was named Rachel!! she was incredible!! She smiled and was very attentive. She would always check on us and refilled our drinks when we needed. Thank you for such a great experience!!!

Our server Michael, she was very kind and friendly! The food was excellent! The restaurant was clean!

We tried the new Social Taco and had an excellent experience eating there for dinner. We weee seated immediately and amazed at how fast all of the service was with it being a brand new restaurant. They staff was also quick to check on us often. We tried the queso and I liked that they had 2 different kinds of tortilla chips with a thicker chip for the queso than what they had for the salsa. Both had a nice flavor. The tacos that I got were AMAZING! They were full of flavor and I will definitely be getting these again the next time I come which will be soon.

I attempted to contact the owners and manager of Soho Social through various networks in an effort to address this situation before posting a review, but unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. I came from Texas based on a friend's recommendation and had a party of 6, including 2 toddlers. Everything was going well until after I swiped my card to pay; Carlos approached without introduction and asked us to make our toddlers be quiet or leave. I was shocked and unsure why he said this. He walked away without any explanation. When we arrived, kids of the opposite race were running around and disturbing guests, but nothing was said to them. My toddlers were quietly standing against a wall, holding hands and talking to each other, not loud or bothering anyone. We even received compliments on how well behaved they were for 2 and 3-year-olds. We decided to leave, and as I walked out, I asked if he addressed the other children or just mine and why ours were addressed in the first place. I asked if guests were complaining, and he responded with, 'No, I just think they’re too loud.' I hate to think this was race-driven; however, we were the only guests of color in the establishment and the only guests who were told they were disturbing his guests. I’d NEVER return here, and I advise everyone to steer clear of this area. It’s super unfortunate; however, clearly, no coloreds are allowed.

The food and drinks were amazing! Probably the worst service I have had. We went on Saturday around 7:30 PM. Maybe 10 tables total inside and outside were filled. The host asked the waiter if he could take a table of 4. Henry said yes. Everything was fine until we were ready to order our food. We had finished our drinks, chips and salsa, and appetizer. We kept looking around for our waiter but never saw him. The host came up to ask if we needed anything. We stated we were ready to eat. He found him. The waiter came up and said he was sorry and that he had a big table. We ordered our entrees and wanted a pitcher of house margaritas. He came back with 2 regular spicy margaritas. We told them that we ordered a pitcher of house. He said that was right. He stood there trying to figure out how to correct it. He finally said he would take the wrong regular ones off our bill and just charge for the pitchers. We wanted to try the churros; he offered to go back there to check if peanut oil or batter was used because my son is allergic. My husband got the check and paid. When we were getting ready to leave, Henry came up again and said he didn’t charge for the churros and that he would have to eat the cost. We didn’t mind paying for it, but I thought that was inappropriate to make another excuse. Not sure if we will go back.

If you’re black I don’t recommend going here because clearly they are racist. I was there with a party of 6 that included 2 toddlers. Our table was approached by a man and he stated our kids were too loud and we need to quiet them down then he walked away. They were by our table playing with each other not bothering anybody. I walked and found him and asked who he was since he so rudely approached us without announcing who he was. He stated his name was Carlos and he’s the manager. I said oh it would have been nice if you told us who you were because I thought you were a customer. I then asked if anyone was complaining and he stated no. I said oh you’re the one with the problem got it. Then I gave him advice on management and I’m a manager myself and walked away and grabbed my family and left. He waited until our food was paid for and asked us to basically leave. Poor management skills, poor service and I will never come back. The Soho is apparently racist in general.

NEW FAVORITE PLACE AND SERVER!! Food was amazing. Best queso and quesadilla in Birmingham. Jake's service was truly exceptional. From the moment we sat down, he exuded professionalism and warmth. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the menu, offering insightful recommendations that perfectly suited our preferences. Throughout the meal, Jake was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking in at the right moments. His friendly demeanor, combined with his impeccable service, made our experience memorable. We left the restaurant with a deep appreciation for his dedication and exceptional hospitality. We will be back!!!
