Speedy's Mexican

"I grew up in Hueytown,Al and Speedy's was our Sunday, after church, tradition. When I was little I honestly couldn't stand Tex Mex, Mexican food, but I always LOVED Speedy's humungous taco salads, and their mind blowing Combo burritos. There's nothing out of the norm with their recipe, or ingredients, nothing that's a radical departure from any other recipe, as far as I can tell, but there's honestly nothing better. Their salsa is phenomenal. I don't know what they make it from, but I've never had another like it. It haunts my taste buds, in the greatest way possible. I moved away from Hueytown over twenty years ago, and I found myself always wanting their food. i have seriously driven over 7 hours on occasion, just to go get some of their amazing, delectable, other worldly food and salsa. I've lived all over the country, lived in Texas, around some of the world's most authentic, best Mexican and Tex Mex restaurants, food carts, street taco vendors, and as amazing as that experience was, I still always found myself wishing that it was Speedy's. Perhaps it's a psychological, childhood association, leaving a deeply seated love for their food and salsa? Perhaps they're evil geniuses, and brainwashed my taste buds, using the world's leading experts on food based psychological warfare? Or maybe it's just really and truly that phenomenal? Sadly, I don't get to go there nearly as much over the last few years. The only time I do ever seem to pass back through my hometown, is when I'm there for a loved one's funeral. And yes, it may be able to be inferred,that I may possibly choose to make that long drive, for my combo burritos and salsa, more so than being the dutiful family member. But that's because of the taste bud brainwashing, right?! I'm always horrified that I'll find out that they've closed or retired, or sold the restaurant off to someone that doesn't honor old ways. I'm always so fearful that I'll never again taste the sweet nectar of their salsa, the ambrosia that is their burritos. I can't recommended enough selling massive bottles of said salsa, and cryogenically frozen burritos. One day those could save the world, or at the very least, satisfy my intense cravings. Until we meet again, hopefully sooner than later, never close, never stop doing what you do, and feel free to franchise to other states, please. TL;DR Food really really good. Me like a lot. May or may not be secret taste bud, mind control agents, hell bent on hometown taste bud domination."

"Awesome place, been going here for years. Just like everything else, seems like the portions have gotten smaller. But still great food"

"We drove from Prattville to eat here and it was still good. We dined in and it was a very relaxing environment. the food was perfect and the tables and booths were clean. You can tell they pride themselves on their food as well as the restaurant."

"The place looks outdated. I never really looked at it until my last visit but it seems the decor never changes or maybe I just don't go enough anymore. I wasn't impressed with the food this time around but I've been to this establishment many times and enjoyed every bite. I felt the food wasn't like it used to be. I had more chips than toppings it seemed. I always get the Speedy's Nachos. A good place to go and they do have outstanding chips and dips. I will definitely go back. Great service and they are quick to get orders out."

"It was just ok. Not a lot of flavor in the food. My first time there and I told them so but they didn't even offer me sauce for my tacos. I found out afterwards they had sauce bottles behind the counter for dine in use. Cashier was not friendly or helpful at all. I prob won't go back again."
