Your Neighborhood Spot for Authentic Mexican Cuisine
Huntsville is a city of innovation and community, and at La Finka, we are proud to contribute to the local flavor. Located just minutes away from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and the bustling Parkway Place Mall, we have become a go-to spot for students, professionals, and families alike.
Our restaurant is situated perfectly for those spending a day exploring the nearby Monte Sano State Park or visiting the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. We understand the rhythm of life in Huntsville—from the morning rush at the Research Park to the weekend relaxation near the Twickenham Historic District. That is why we focus on providing consistent, high-quality service and dishes that transport your senses straight to Mexico. When you walk through our doors, you aren’t just a customer; you’re part of the La Finka family.
Signature Sizzling Fajitas
Our fajitas are the talk of Whitesburg Drive. Served on a piping hot cast-iron skillet, we use marinated meats—tender steak, juicy chicken, or succulent shrimp—grilled alongside crisp bell peppers and onions. Every order comes with fresh tortillas, rice, beans, and all the fixings to build your perfect bite.
Hand-Crafted Margaritas
No visit to La Finka is complete without a stop at our bar. Our margaritas are crafted with premium tequilas and fresh-squeezed lime juice. From the classic “House Marg” on the rocks to our adventurous fruit-infused frozen varieties, we offer the perfect pairing for any meal or happy hour celebration.
Authentic Street Tacos
For those seeking the true “Finka” experience, our street tacos are a must-try. Served on corn tortillas with your choice of protein—such as Al Pastor, Carne Asada, or Carnitas—and topped with fresh cilantro and onions, these tacos offer a simple yet profound explosion of flavor that rivals the best taquerias in Mexico.
