    I was in town for a week and I came here 3 of the days I was here. Amazing atmosphere and the service was exceptional. The chips and queso may be the best I've ever had. Seems to be very well run from the hostess to the wait staff. I'll be back Birmingham in October and I'm already looking forward to coming to the Uptown Cantina.

    We didnt get a chance to take a picture before eating because we were so hungry but we got margs (prickly pear & regular), combination fajitas, and large guac! Food: the guac was PHENOMENAL. Couldn't stop eating it. The fajitas had so many grilled onions and bell peppers & a good amount of meat and the rice was so well seasoned! Will 100p get this again. The margs were small and a little sweet to the point where I couldnt taste any alcohol or much more than the mixer - not the biggest fan. Ambiance: wonderful! Its in a great location, there was live music, and the place is very colorful/vibrant! Loved it. Service: okay. Our waiter was kind but in general, our drinks and apps took SO long to come. It was also not super busy but it took a while for us to get our order -- so we were waiting for a good minute. Wouldn't stop me from coming back overall though!

    I went with a group prior to visiting a nearby exhibit. The business was packed but only had a 30 minute wait for a party of 6. The venue has an open floor plan, but was a little warm and stuffy. As with most businesses these days, they were short staffed, but the staff that was there were working diligently to take care of customers. The drinks took a few minutes longer than anticipated, but once we got them, we were pleased. Food was good. I'd go back.
