Babalu Tapas & Tacos in Memphis

Great Service. Good food. Thoroughly cleaning after every guest. We had a great Brunch!

The food was good, as were the drinks, but the service was weird. There were five if us, and each of our entrees was brought out one at a time in the space of ten minutes. It took a long time for our drinks, too. It wasn't all THAT busy, either. But the food was still good.

We had great, prompt service. We asked for a patio table, and the greeter sanitized one a table and we were seated pretty quickly. The menu was no contact via QR code, there was also a QR code for payment, for folks interested in low contact availability. Greatfood, great service.

Not on par with what it once was. Both quality and selection have diminished with new ownership. Was a gluten free paradise, now options are limited and not encouraged.

The family and I absolutely love to dine here. I'm so glad they put one closer to us, we always have a wonderful experience. The guacamole is a God send, the tacos are spectacular, and the drinks are just amazing. We are definitely regulars for both locations.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and very accommodating staff. Would very highly recommend. Each time I have visited my entire experience was grade A+. Burgers, Cubans, lamb sliders, tacos & guac are all terrific.

Amazing food!! Great service! But four stars because of the noise. Their high ceilings and open space makes it very loud. It’s difficult to hear anyone that you’re eating with. I recommend going after the lunch or dinner rush!

This place is pretty inconsistent. The portion sizes are pretty small for what you pay, and the quality is hit or miss. My last meal here felt like week old leftovers. The queso was hard. Couldn’t dip the chips. Weak 3/5

This is one of my favorite places to go for a girls' night out, birthday dinner, or anything in between! It has the best food and great service, as well as such a fun vibe. It is now under new management, so a few things have changed, but it is still such a great place to come eat at.

One of my favorite places in Jackson, MS to eat and I was so excited they have 2 in Memphis now! Always great food (though I'm partial to the Jackson location). Try the black-eyed pea humus - it's fabulous!!!

I have yet to be disappointed in this restaurant. The food is always good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The Social Distancing was well done and their unique way of keeping safety in transference was appreciated - Disposable plates, cups and silverware!

Beautiful establishment. Nice customer service. Delicious food.

I am giving it 3 stars because the drinks were good. We were a party of 12 or 13 and almost everybody had a complaint with their food. So if you're looking for well made drinks, come here. But for the food.. from the mostly small portions, to the fact that there was no syrup for the chicken & waffles/pancakes/toast and then at least 3 people had to send their food back. 2 were cold, the last said it tasted badly and it came with roasted/burnt bread, that they tried to hide by flipping it on the other side, in hopes that it won't be seen- which I also consider shady, i would definitely not recommend their food

Good food, they mix the guacamole up in front of you. Tacos are smaller, but good, and there are many options. Sides are very good, quest grits, asparagus, sweet potato fries. Out server was a bit slow, as was the food coming out, which is perfect when you are socializing in a small group, but as a couple, not so good.

1st time at this location. Was here for a Yelp event. The foos was delicious!! I guess i was so busy chatting n enjoying the company I forgot 2 take pics. The burgers were real beef n flavorful. The Cuban surprised my tastebuds; it was yummy even with the pickles. How can u go wrong witTACOS!! Tha tacos was amazing.. N the fries.. oh the tasty fries.. yup, luv'd tha fries

Wonderful dinner celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Highly recommend the burgers! Of course we started the meal off with guacamole which was prepared tableside

Great location. Great drinks and service. Menus are digital due to COVID right now- pretty cool!

Great service. Comfortable atmosphere. Amazingly fresh food! I can't wait to go back!

Enjoyed the food. However, the hostess greeted us, asked if it was our 1st time there. We said, "Yes." Thinking she would make some recommendations or say something else...she said nothing else, so we weren't sure why she asked in the first place. Hostess, short, long brown/black curly hair with glasses. She seated us at a table that was clearly unclean with water circles all over the table. When our server came by, average height African American male with bald head, we asked if the table had been cleaned. He blatantly lied and answered yes. I guess my 20/15 vision isn't so good after all. Also, I had to request new silverware because my fork had food remnants on it.

I wish there was an in between rating of like 4.25 or 4.5. Tacos are great, burger is great, queso is good (but eat it quick), and drinks are good (but pricey). The one negative is the calamari....but the sauce for them is good like Friday's Jack Daniel's sauce.

Great place my highest compliment to Lauren who to care of our orders. Love their Patata as well their Tacos Highly recommend this place

Awesome brunch spot. Never been here for brunch but was invited. I was expecting just tacos, but it was an great $20 dollar brunch of all you can eat food. Waffles, fresh fruit, large omelette, bacon, biscuits and gravy. Also, $15 dollar bottom mimosas and $10 dollar flights of Sangaria. Couldn’t ask for much more.

You only get one first impression. I was highly impressed with the ambiance and the food. Great happy hour specials Food & Drinks

I went on a weekend, sometime back, it was jam packed, the wait time was around 20-25 min.Nice ambience and crowd. The tacos were fine. The Desert Sampler looked and tasted yummy. Overall a good experience.

This Tuesday about 12 noon was very busy & there was no wait. Every recommendation was correct. Soup of the day was Chicken of the day, got it.2 Beef Enchiladas seasoned perfectly. Desert, Cinnamon Bread Pudding. The best I have had. Light/not heavy. Tasty with Carmel, cinnamon and Liqueur in the Whipping cream with a Small strawberry. Small plate dusted with powdered sugar.Can you imagine how good this was...Over the top. Our Server was Desiree

Delicious food! Grilled shrimp tacos and crab cakes are my absolute favorites here. The wait can be long at peak hours, especially on the weekends, but it’s well worth it.

I enjoyed it here. Great food. I love the sweet potato fries.

Great food, great service. One of my new favorite restaurants in Memphis.

The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The food was out fast yet very fresh! I will definitely be coming back soon.

Amazing place to eat!! That atmosphere is so nice! The service is amazing, we had Tina as our server. I have multiple allergies and they were very helpful! I can't say enough good things about this place! This is a must for restaurant.

My first time there loved the atmosphere and the food. Great server Megan. She gave us great suggestions. Will def be back.

Very nice venue, delicious food, and great service. I ordered the tequila glazed burger. It was excellent. It was very good for a first visit, and I will definitely be back. I recommend going if you have not already!

The bar tender will handle your ice with his bare hands after picking up dirty dishes. No gloves. Never washed hands during the 30 min we were there. To go orders have 20% gratuity added in. Food was very skimpy. Ordered the shrimp dinner. Only 3 tiny shrimp were in the whole dish. We’ve tried the place 3 or 4 times. Never impressed with food or service. Atmosphere is nice but nothing else.

Awesome Guacamole table side. Street tacos were delicious and Bread Pudding for the finish!!!

I went with a group over 10. With enough notice they were more than accommodating. Food was excellent. Price was lower than expected and staff attentive. We had a variety of food during a 4-course meal (salad, blackened salmon, chicken/cauliflower tacos, and cheesecake bites). All were fantastic and flavorful. Was not expecting that Memphis! Great job. Would definitely come again. Sorry no pics. Too busy eating.

First time here, the taco shells would not hold together, even though they replaced them it was disappointing because taco's are what they specializes in. The Mushroom soup was really good. I just wasn't impressed by the taco's.
