Hector's Kitchen

Love, love, love this place! Stuck a very of authentic Columbia, Cuban, and Puerto Rican dishes. Everything from the arepas, soup, rice bowls, and Cubano was perfecting. Hidden gem! Definitely would compare to larger city's like Atlanta and Birmingham. Will be back to try more!

Absolutely wonderful... Great food ..

Highly recommend the Street corn for those who want to try something different!

If you are looking for Columbian food in Northeast Alabama, Hector's is your place. It's as authentic as it gets around here! The food had flavor and was prepared as I remembered it from my travels. The restaurant decor pays homage to ancestors past who probably inspired the food itself. We had a smattering of everything- shared empenadas, tostones, and the Columbian Dinner entree with black beans and sweet plantains. We ate everything and walked away groaning! We will be back!

Hector's Kitchen- thank you for being an original amongst the chains in our area!

We love the food and flavor of Hectors Kitchen….when they get the order right. We often order the empanadas, I’m a fan of the chicken and my wife loves the beef. If that’s what we get. The past three times we have ordered it’s like playing Russian roulette with the food. It’s like they get confused with what each one is, mispacked and not separated when we order Togo. This has happened too man time, I think I’m going to retire this place

I had Croquettes, Street Corn with a Mojito. It is a great little roadside mom and pop place. The food was terrific and authentic Columbian.

The food had "ok" presentation, but the good stopped there. All of the food was very bland. I kept waiting to taste the cilantro, the habenero, the honey, anything. Very very bland, boring dishes. Pineapple ( they don't warn you about) on an iceburg salad for 8.99? My daughter got queso dip that was so watered down (literally) it ran off her chips. The soda machine must be dirty. You can taste it. It leaves a gross aftertaste of dirty. You just know . The one flavor that was in all of the 7 different things we ordered was that dirty kitchen flavor. I'm sure you know it. It's the same flavor at any dirty kitchen restaurant you have experienced. I don't write these reviews to be mean, I write them to be fair and honest. Is it just my opinion? Maybe. But I try to take my personal likes out of my reviews and write from neutral common ground. I hope my negative reviews are taken as constructive honest criticism and use it to improve. Probably won't happen. But one can hope. Also the waitress didn't use a pad to take our order and forgot one thing before she even left our table and then forgot 2 of our drinks our entire time there. I didn't remind her, because, well that's not my job. Will not be returning.

My first time here. I have seen it several times. I finally decided to try it, and I was not disappointed. Food is great the service is very good, and prices are not bad at all.

Absolutely love eating at Hector’s! The food is always delicious, the staff is so friendly and helpful, and the mojito is to die for. My favorite thing I’ve tried (other than the mojito) is the coconut wrap. But really, you can’t go wrong here. Also, the yucca fries with chimmi-mayo is a must try. As an added bonus, they have plenty of outdoor seating. Nothing beats sitting outside on a beautiful day with some good food and a refreshing drink!

I lived in South Florida for 20 years and ate my share of Cuban sandwiches at Cuban restaurants, Hector’s makes the BEST one I’ve had! Of you’ve never been to o Hector’s you are missing out. P.S get a side of their tasty mayo sauce and dip your sandwich in.
