Customer Reviews

Such a cool spot to go eat! Probably one of the better Mexican restaurants in the Shoals with high quality flavors! I had the Bongo dip which was really good but I'd of preferred it to be spicy still really good, it had ground beef, onions, peppers and cilantro mixed in with their cheese dip. For my lunch plate I've heard about how good the Bongo platter is so I had to get it and was not disappointed all this food on a platter for only $13.99 is crazy cheap! It had chicken and shrimp nachos, a birria quesadilla, chicken taquito a beef flauta and in the center a black bean and queso dip! It was so so good and definitely enough for two people for dinner! Their chicken is the best chicken I've had and all the Mexican restaurants around. I highly recommend going. Will be back for the Birria Ramen!

I loved this place so much!! The decor is the bomb. Mexican restaurants are known for vibrant colors and Bongos is bright and vibrant but in a totally fresh, creative way. The service was pleasant, sincere, helpful and fast. My burrito was delicious. Parking is limited but Bongo's is worth a walk!

Bongos Bar & Mexican Grill is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! The food is cooked to perfection and made with the freshest ingredients. The steak taco salad was **chef's kiss** The portions are generous. I couldn't eat it all, but it was so delicious that I sure wanted to! My husband was very impressed with the street tacos. The salsa is amazing, too! I had my first Caipirnha cocktail, and I'm obsessed. The drink was light and refreshing, but it definitely packed a punch. My daughter and I shared the brownie and ice cream since it was my birthday. It was the best brownie I've ever had..hands down! I love the atmosphere and the colorful artwork that adorns the walls. There's a huge bar with several TVs. The staff is friendly and efficient. It's a vibe, and I can't wait to go back. I should have tried it sooner. Go!! You won't regret it. ;)
