Our server was great. The Food was fantastic. I ordered a little of everything. I’m from Phoenix and just moved here. Felt like home. This isn’t Tex Mex. I will be returning.

Ordered online. Said ready in 10 minutes. I wanted 30 until I got my food. I ordered half a chicken. The chicken was chopped in 4 strange pieces and way overcooked. Where is your original sauce? The salsa had no flavor.

Pure genius with this restaurant. Strawberry margaritas were fantastic (poured perfectly by a heavy hand ). This place is combining Mexican food with a BBQ twist and it is truly chef’s kiss ‍ !!

Visited this place while I was waiting for a meeting at a local business. Food was absolutely outstanding. Real genuine cooking. Corn tortillas seemed to be crafted in house, and I had the fried chicken and smoked brisket tacos. The brisket was a little difficult to eat in taco form (nice big chunky bits on the tortilla) but it was so good I ate what fell out with my fingers. The chicken was fried to perfection, and left you wanting another. 10/10 will be returning within a few weeks guaranteed.

These people care about their food. Always perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I’ve not had a bad dish here and I’ve been here several times. Cocktail menu is diverse and the drinks are well made.

We are in town from Philly, and we come about once a year. We’ve been here two years in a row. The food and environment is amazing. If you’re looking for an aesthetically on point place to relax, have a good time, and enjoy some great Mexican food (with a cool BBQ fusion flare) you should DEFINITELY check this place out. We’ve had pretty much everything on the menu, and it’s all excellent. The fajitas are huge portions, and perfectly cooked. Make sure to try a burrito – but “dirty” style – which is, covered in a queso/salsa mix. House salsas are excellent. Also a standout is the brisket queso! If you’re on the fence, take the jump and try this place. You won’t regret it! Can’t wait for next year… to try the dessert (which I didn’t get to try) – soft serve with optional toppings such as chamoy, dulce de leche, and cornflakes. Outstanding! Also, our server was SO nice. Her name was Bri – she made us feel right at home. All the staff, including the owner, were excellent!

Placed a catering order for an office lunch and the team at Little Donkey went above and beyond!! They were quick to respond to questions, the food was packed well for pickup, and they even added in some extras to help make sure my teammate was well-celebrated for her birthday. I’ll definitely be eating here (and catering from here) again!

Little Donkey was at Oak Mtn High school tonight. I’m a 66yo Grandmother and it was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten! We got the brisket burrito bowl…best food EVER!!!

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. It’s been a while since we have eaten here and our food was delicious! Patio dining is PERFECT!!!! Birmingham sunsets are the best! Fried chicken is delicious and the supreme LD smoked chicken burrito were definitely the way to go.
