University Tacos New Location — University Tacos new location on 5th Ave (Nathan Watson / Bham Now)

Since 2014, University Tacos has served the Birmingham area with its authentic Mexican food and family-like atmosphere. Now, there are two locations for locals to enjoy.

We talked to the owner to learn about the family-run business’ new location on Fifth Avenue—here’s the scoop.

10 years of University Tacos

Birmingham locals and newcomers alike have experienced the great food and service of University Tacos for 10 years (and counting).🤞

When I spoke to the owner Karla Serrano, she explained how the family’s second location came from a successful first endeavor.

“We get pretty busy, especially during lunchtime, so we had the opportunity to open a second location and decided to go for it.”

The new site on Fifth Avenue boasts a colorful mural by local artist Dewon Moton—which, according to Serrano, is likely the reason Birminghamians picked up on what was coming soon.

“I think the mural in the front of the store was how people noticed that we were going to be opening a second location.”

“I’m excited to bring the same taste to that side of town. It’s a different catalog of customers, and they are so excited because there’s no Mexican food around that area.”

Don’t worry, the OG University Boulevard restaurant is staying put. You can enjoy both spots and experience the tastiness of University Tacos.
