Reviews for BABALU® - Overton Square in Memphis, TN
Highly recommend coming here, suggest calling ahead for a table though because it was packed but worth the 20-30 minute wait.... The other option is to sit at the bar. Either seem good. The duck tacos were simple and yet unique and still delicious. TheCinnamon Bread Pudding stole the show for me. Coming back here soon for more Read more
This was my first visit and I'll be darned if I take forever to go back. The queso appetizer is too spicy for me but Husband... loved it! I did love those chips though. I had a pear margarita that was deliciously on point and refreshing. The street tacosare very good, but small, so order more than one if hungry, preferably with their fries. So good! Read more
Very busy on a Saturday but we were seated in a timely manner. The food was very good! (I?m partial to the one in Jackson). ... Service was excellent. Table side guacamole is the best!!! Read more
What a cool and bright spot to celebrate after graduation. Our party of 8 couldn?t be seated immediately so we waited at the... bar which was a good start to the experience. They had a good selection of local beer on tap, the 201 Hoplar IPA (my favorite)was a perfect balance of hops and fruit. Others in the party liked the sangria flights, mixed drinks, and the custom frozenmargaritas. When we were seated we started with the table side guacamole, made to perfection and possibly the best tastingguacamole I have ever had, witness the destroyed bowl below. Our entrees were all extremely tasty. The Cubano sandwich wasfull of meat the star being the pork belly and the braised short rib grilled cheese was a flavorful blend of meat, cheese, andaioli. Our only complaint was the grilled sandwiches came out under or over cooked cooked, thus the 4 stars. Everything elsefrom the breakfast burrito to the street taco had unique flavor profiles and were executed very well. Another big hit was theBrussel sprouts, crispy and drenched in a wonderful sweet glaze. Everybody, even the non sprout likers, enjoyed the taste. Ourserver who had many tables was extremely helpful with the menu selections and attentive our table?s needs. She did an excellentjob. I will revisit the ratings next time I eat there. It could be 5 stars except for the sandwiches. Highly recommended! Read more
Popular local spot in Memphis. Heard about in many times so I figured I'd give it a try. I was highly satisfied with the service... and the guacamole made fresh at the table. A must get. The drinks were delicious as well. I tried four different tacos and Iwasn't too fond of any of them but my girlfriend did for what it's worth. I would definitely go for drinks and to hang out butwould try my luck with a different menu item next time. Will be back! Read more
Babalu makes my belly dance. Dishes so delicious, it puts my taste buds in a trance. I went out with my honey for a little... romance..... I said we're going to a place that's not very far. Surprise! Surprise! It's a tapas bar..... He said you grab somesingles and I'll crank the car! Read more
Our experience at Babalu was mixed. I ordered some delicious tacos, which I liked. The tacos are have different main... ingredients, and are served with flour tortillas. They were good, but nothing blew my mind. The other dishes and sides weredecent as well. However, the service for our experience was frustratingly slow, which dampened some of our experiences.

First time here! Not impressed! Came for late lunch birthday celebration! Tons of staff present, yet we waited for service and... was assigned to a table of a staff who had already left for the day! Weird Although the food was good, the prices are way toomuch for the size of the tacos, sides and burgers. The drinks were good, so it made up for it! Considering this location wasn?tpacked, I would?ve expected the floors, tables and chairs to have been clean? it wasn?t ???? Better customer service, betterprices and a cleaner establishment would?ve made our visit 5 star ?? Read more
