Cafe Castillo

For as long as I been living in Hoover, I’m mad at myself for giving this place a chance earlier. I have always just written it off because it was inside of a furniture store (Ashley Furniture). I finally gave it a chance and it blew me away! It’s a mom and pop restaurant, the service was excellent, and the food was beyond amazing! The food at Café Castillo is better than most full size sit down restaurants at a fraction of the price!!! Of course, I had to start off with the tacos. The tacos used a 2 layer corn tortilla, the steak was marinated was extra spice, the salsa and cilantro was prepared freshly, all of these freshly prepared ingredient led to an explosion of flavors in my mouth! After the tacos, I had to try the Tamales, they have the red and the green tamales. I try the green, they were just right, not to hard, not to soft, the chicken on the inside was perfect, everything about the tamales on was point! (I ordered 10 more for to go!!!) Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem!!! I will definitely be back, and btw, they have SOOO much more to offer than just tacos and tamales. Just the menu out!!!
