Downtown Montgomery’s foodie scene is getting a delicious new addition! Little Donkey, the popular Mexican restaurant with Southern soul, officially opens its doors today, June 4.

Read on for details.

Behind Little Donkey’s downtown Montgomery opening

This marks Little Donkey’s second location in Montgomery. It first opened in Eastchase and quickly became a go-to spot for flavorful eats and fun vibes.

Now, the restaurant is making its downtown debut on North Perry Street, thanks to a partnership between the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) and Pihakis Restaurant Group.

EJI welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Legacy Sites each year, and has been working to bring more dining options nearby.

Their goal? Make downtown more walkable, vibrant and full of places people actually want to spend time and money.

Bonus: Little Donkey’s neighbor is Hero, another Pihakis Restaurant Group eatery known for its popularity in Birmingham.
