“I am not a fan of superfluous reviews that over estimate the quality of an experience. That being said - I find myself selecting 5 stars for each category for the lovely Azotea Cantina; a great place to grab a drink, a meal, and enjoy the open air of Atlantic Station (my personal favorite in the area).on 4/30 - The Manager Lexi was refreshingly empathetic (a difficult accomplishment in the service industry) and the servers were all absolutely lovely (Kalia - the first among equals :) ). My puppy was allowed to sit in the outdoor section and the servers made sure we had enough water. When Kalia noticed I hadn't enjoyed my order she went above and beyond to make an accommodation and make sure I had something tasty to compensate.My take away from my experience is that when a wait staff is happy - they deliver an excellent service. However it was done that this waitstaff brings such a positive vibe to their work - it is quite the accomplishment. My credit and regards to the Azotea Cantina, Lexi, and of course, Kalia“
“So glad we stopped in for a late lunch, the Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos were perfection! My spouse got a burrito. Achilles was our server and he has a great sense of humor and helped us have a great experience. Would definitely eat here again!“
“Had a great experience at Casi Cielo.It started with the great interaction with the servers, very welcoming and personable. The service was very attentive.This was followed by unforgettable food ranging from fresh guacamole served with fried blue corn tortillas to pollo guajillo to vegetarian options. A favorite for the group was what they called their "vegetable lasagna." All were delicious.The horchata is the best I've had, the michelada was also excellent. Others really enjoyed their smoked Old Fashions, the rest of us benefitting from the smell of the smoke.Highly, highly recommended!“
“Through no fault of their own, this place got flooded with 50+ extra guests and they held it in stride. There were hiccups that were to be expected with that kind of unexpected business, but the food and the service were solid throughout. If you're just a party of 2-8 or even more , I highly recommend. Get the salmon tacos. Or anything on the menu. Great service, great food, great place. Buckhead is flooded with people and food, but this place is really cool. You wouldn't expect a really good Mexican chill spot in the mix of all this "upscale food" but you're definitely getting "upscale food" at a reasonable price point at this place.“
“Really good food, and they serve Jorchata! (Cinnamon Rice Milk of sorts), super hard to find a place that does.I ordered the Chimichangas, wife got the street tacos. There are pretty good portion sizes and the green salsa is so good - I got some to go.Really nice balcony dining area.“
“Calaveritas never disappoints!! Everything I’ve ever tried from them has been amazing. This time we got the carne asada tacos, quesadillas and chips & queso. Everything was delicious. It was the first time I’d tried the queso and it was so good. Also their new spot is so cute and their staff is always so friendly and helpful.“
“Very tasty tostada!!! Good roasted tomato salsa with thick crispy chips. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food!The setup is outdoors and family friendly with an area for connect 4 and space to play with a ball. It's also dog friendly!Canopies set up with tables and chairs or picnic tables. There are high chairs for little dinners.It's a place for everyone...Order, pay and take your number to your choice of table. The area is set down from the level of the street so kids can run around without getting into traffic too easily.“
“We love Little Rey!! We worked with Baleigh from LR when planning our Rehearsal Dinner for our wedding weekend, and we had such a great experience!! Their team was very easy to communicate with, and they offer a third party delivery service so we were able to have our food delivered/set up at our venue stress free! Our rehearsal dinner was at a local brewery, so their delicious tacos were perfect fit for the event. We had SO many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was-- the food was very fresh and tasty and such a beautiful display! We would highly recommend and are so thankful for their help in making our event so special!“
“So glad we stopped in for a late lunch, the Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos were perfection! My spouse got a burrito. Achilles was our server and he has a great sense of humor and helped us have a great experience. Would definitely eat here again!“

“This was our second time visiting a Tin Lizzy’s, but first time visiting the Midtown location. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. The hostess noticed a couple of the menus hadn’t been cleaned recently and quickly changed them out for us. Sure they weren’t clean, but that level of attentiveness was greatly appreciated. We started with the Three Amigos appetizer. The lady ordered the Cantina Skillet, and I had the Cowboy Skillet (pictured). Every bite of this dish is full of flavor! It’s super filling as well, I took about half to go. Definitely recommend adding Tin Lizzy’s to your list of places to grabe some grub!“
“This IS BY FAR THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN ATLANTA. The food is amazing, you can taste the authenticity in every bite. The drinks are amazing, you’ll fall in love. And last but not least *Drumroll ITS CHEAP!!! Your pockets are going to live it hereParking: Free parking right In front of restaurant“
“We had a great experience at Amealco Mexican kitchen! The food was Authentic!! Pasole, Carnitas plate, Bone marrow and elite. I even had the guacamole with grasshopper topping! You will get a great meal and a greater story of the restaurant’s food-inspired history from Kinya,! Such a great historian?“
“Perfect happy hour place! Food is so good, our server was attentive and ambiance is very cool. We sat on the patio because it was so beautiful outside. The burrata only came with 2 small pieces of bread so I ordered another side of bread. I didn't realize it was a $5 up charge otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it. That was as much as the happy hour dish itself. Otherwise, everything was really good and will be returning !“
“I've been going to Gezzos for 15 or more years. Gezzos Cantina is a similar experience to their original stores but elevated. The food is incredible plus they have amazing cocktails and very good ice cream. The chefs at Gezzos Cantina are very creative with their dishes and everything I've gotten was delicious. Prices on both the food and cocktails are a bargain considering the quality. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta.Wheelchair accessibility: Door is wide and level with parking, very easy entry.“
“I don’t think I have ever written a restaurant review before but I am compelled this time! The restaurant was nice, the staff was nice, the food and drinks were very good. HOWEVER… I get the bill (my daughter and I split the bill). I was a waitress through college, I always tip 20% or more. My bill had listed the 18% gratuity as $18.72, the 20% gratuity as $20.80 and the 22% gratuity as $22.88… my bill came to $58.37. I take offense to this because the restaurant hired the tips for each by $8, $9 and $10 above the correct tipping amount. This has left me with an eeek feeling about this restaurant and their business practices. So won’t be returning! There are many just as good or better Mexican restaurants out there!“
“The woman/ young lady working on the night of 3/24/24 was very engaging and welcoming. She took care of me and my guest. Making it extra special for one of my guest birthday celebration! Excellent service, attentiveness, and energy throughout the entire night! We definitely appreciate your vibe and conversation in between working and checking on our needs.“
“Poco Loco unquestionably holds the title of the best breakfast burrito spot in Atlanta for me, and at the heart of this culinary haven is the visionary, Chef Nick Melvin. My first encounter with Chef Nick was a serendipitous one, while I was working at The Farmhouse at Serenbe, and this meeting forever transformed my perspective on dining. Poco Loco's breakfast burritos are nothing short of legendary. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, a testament to Chef Nick's culinary artistry. His ability to elevate the humble breakfast burrito into a gourmet masterpiece is truly unparalleled. It's evident that he approaches each creation with the same passion and precision that I witnessed during my time at Serenbe. During my tenure, I had the privilege of observing Chef Nick's love for food up close. His dedication to sourcing the freshest, locally grown ingredients and his unwavering commitment to sustainability left an indelible mark on me. It was there that I first saw him as a culinary artist, a maestro who could turn the simplest ingredients into symphonies of taste. Chef Melvin's profound respect for food and its potential to bring joy to people's lives forever changed my outlook on dining. His emphasis on the importance of savoring each bite, appreciating the journey of flavors, and supporting local producers reshaped how I approached food. It's this very philosophy that he brings to Poco Loco, where every breakfast burrito is a celebration of culinary creativity and a testament to his enduring passion. Chef Nick continues to be a source of inspiration, proving that dining is not merely sustenance, but an art form that has the power to elevate our lives and nourish our souls.“
“Tapas were good, we tried the cochinita pibil, the steak, the corn and habanero cheese, everything was delicious. Not to mention the dessert churros w ice cream. Shoutout to the bartender who was also our server, she was attentive, courteous and overall fantastic. Thank you we will be back.Parking: Valet parking is free“
“My teammates and I came here for a dinner during a workshop we were attending.Location: If you are staying near the Fox Theater, it’s a quick 5-7 minute walk to the restaurant, inside is decorated so cute!Parking: We walked from our hotelService: we made reservations for a party of 11 had and only waited 2-5 minutes before being sat, our server was great and organized.Ambience/Crowd: young old ratchet bougieFood/drink : 8/10 I would give a 10 because everyone’s entrees were delicious and the scallops are absolutely perfection but the guac was only ok.Favorite thing: scallops by farLeast favorite thing: guacamoleWill I be back? And Why - YES FOR THE SCALLOPS“
“This place punches WAY above its weight. It’s name “Salsa Taqueria and Wings”… not a great name. It’s in the back of a gas station, and that is suspect. But it is a 10/10. Absolutely delicious.Eat here! Eat here again and again!“
“One of my favorite spots to eat for years! The food is delicious, the drinks are fantastic (the pomegranate margarita is a personal fave) and the staff is always super pleasant. The restaurant itself is unmatched in its awesome style/decor.Vegetarian options: The Flor de Jamaica (Hibiscus flower) tacos are absolutely phenomenal, a must try!“
“The food was fantastic. Thomas, our server, was also great, he refilled our drinks any time they reached halfway and had a very friendly personality. The vibes and music were perfect, specifically would like to mention that the music kept me energetic, while not being too loud to socialize. The drinks had a perfect mix of champagne to OJ, mostly being Champagne. I enjoyed this spot a lot and would definitely recommend. It does start to get busier around noon if you’re looking for a more upbeat setting.“
“I’ve been here once and it was cute. The seating areas are nice. The fried oyster tacos were great. I recommend the Cadillac drink lol I know I probably spelled it in English but you’ll know what I’m talking about when you go lol 10/10“
“Zubi’s is a vibe on first impression: the decor and playlist are perfect and the patio is perfect for tacos in good Georgia weather. We ordered the beef birria, jerk chicken, hotlanta, and Detroit tacos, chips and salsa and drinks. The Paloma and margarita were delicious and complimented the food well. All were well balanced in flavor and uniquely delicious. Service was wonderful: the owner was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Definitely recommend.“
“First off I need to go again today I haven't had tacos like these in a very long time. Matter of fact, it seems like I've only had tacos this good in LA. So I was filled with joy to have another affordable, delicious, and authentic taco place to frequent closer to home.“
“The great food and atmosphere. Wonderful place to come and enjoy with friends. Manager was very attentive. Came and check in to Make sure we were enjoying our food. My daughter also loves it so we will definitely be coming back. Are you favorite place?“
“Never disappointed with the service received. They have catered several company events for us and each time 5-star service!!!! Food is Amazing, great customer service from the staff working the truck to Ms. Katherine scheduling our events. These are the folks you MUST HAVE at ALL your events!!! 5-Star.“
“I live next to this restaurant and I saw when it first opened. I always bypassed it bc I never grasped its concept. Recently I saw they sold margaritas and that got me in the door!I received great customer service from the door. There’s an option to use a kiosk but they are friendly enough to ring you. Whether you dine in or take out, they walk the food to you. Staff literally wait and service you from the moment you walk in to the time you leave. In the evenings they dim the lights and put out mini table lamps and the atmosphere is so calming and welcoming.The food is great although they are known for the sesame fries, I’m not a fan. I love the tacos and bowls, Asian ribeye me any day and top it off with the cucumber lemonade. Yes, cucumber I thought it was weird, tried it and loved it.All I recommend a visit, it’s worth trying!“
“My partner and I work as chefs in NC and came down to atl for a vacation. This place is so good we haven’t even left yet and have agreed to take the 4 hour drive back here again just to eat! The empanadas melt in your mouth, the prawn are insanely good and fresh, and the confit lamb tacos are so perfectly balanced with the flavors of the toppings. Not to mention the cocktails were amazing. We were lucky to be squeezed in without a reservation, our server was Shelby, who was anlso clearly running the bar and she absolutely KILLED it. For someone doing that much work she was amazingly attentive and personable. 10/10 service from Shelby, 10/10 food. Will be back for more no matter how long the drive is!“
“First time at this place. For our bug group, we had nothing but excellent service, and the food was delicious. It's worth every penny. Our server went above and beyond to make sure all 20+ of us were taken care ofI walked out of that place happy“
“I want to thank and give high praises to the staff and managers at this location. The restaurant was clean with a pleasant atmosphere. My aunt visiting from Louisiana loved the food as well as the attentive staff. THANK YOU for making her first visit to ATL memorable!“
“Mom & Pop shops seem to be the BEST!!! I love authentic eatery. I love it more when it's the parents shop & they're still the cook, i know that they cook with so much love! Tacos were so great!!! A taco with a fresh sliced avocado! I mean how much better can you get?? They have their daughter waitressing which was dope & she was great & friendly. Ambiance was super calm & family orientated, they also had a mixed crowd which allowed me to know that everyone loves their tacos! Will definitely be back!“
“Barrio ATL is an entire VIBEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I ended up here on a Thursday. I was in the Cascade area and in the mood for tacos. After a search on Yelp Barrio ATL popped up and was where we headed for the night. As a heads up, Barrio ATL sits in the corner of the strip plaza. As such, the parking can be a bit tight so be sure to choose a space accordingly. Upon walking in, the ambiance puts you in the mindset of a trendy hookah lounge. Wall seating, chairs, and tables are to the left, and a VIP area style is to the right. The DJ is directly to the left of the VIP area and the bar area is to the left of the DJ. The building is medium-sized and build rectangular so there is ample length as compared to the width. There was no one at the Hostess booth when I walked in, however, the young lady got up from one of the tables in the back, greeted me, and quickly took us to our table. Once seated, the waitress assigned to our table came over and was super nice and welcoming. She introduced herself as Shay and went over the specials for the night. As the ambiance is more than just a casual bar, Shay’s service was superior. Her personality shined and she enhanced the overall experience of the night. Thank you, Shay! Based on the specials for the night I decided to go with the 3 Chicken Birriia Tacos for $9 (this was a great deal as they are usually $20) and a side of fries. As they didn’t have Sweet Tea on the menu I ordered a bottle of water. Shout out to Barrio ATL for serving Fiji. Ha. Babeeeeeeeeee… Here me when I tell you… I don’t know what kind of potatoes these fries were made with but they were the BOMBBBBBBBB. They were thick, perfectly fried, golden to perfection, and well seasoned. For the record, I would go back for the fries alone. LoL! The birria tacos were good as well. As this was my first time having them I don’t have anything to compare them to, however, I enjoyed the experience. The crunchiness of the taco shell with the well-seasoned chicken. The birria consomé was well seasoned and definitely enhanced the flavor of the taco, as such, for my first birria experience I enjoyed it. Furthermore, if the chicken was this good, I can’t wait to try the beef. Overall Barrio ATL is def one to add to the checklist when you are looking for a vibe. The DJ was on point, the ambiance was hittin like it needed to be, and the overall flow of the environment was ideal for a kick it/unwind/grab a drink type of vibe.“
“This is our local Tex Mex restaurant so I’ve been here a few times. The first few I struggled to find something I really liked on the menu but this time I tried the shrimp quesadilla and it was surprisingly great! The tortilla was stuffed with big, juicy shrimp. I also had the cantina margarita which wasn’t my favorite (tasted too much like sour mix). The service was fantastic though so I’d still recommend it for those in the area.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian combo section“
“Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. My experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. Rafa Marquez is definitely the best of the best! Would recommend 100%“
“At the West Paces Ferry location, Ron and his team do a wonderful job. Chase at the cash register, Zach and Nay dishing out the food, and Ron keeping everything top notch. They even remember my exact order every time. I’m there three times a week. Thank you for all you do.“
“First time eating at this place and I will say it was worth the drive. We liked our cocktails and the food was great. Service is wonderful. We were sat immediately for our reservation. This spot is definitely an adult night out. I'd definitely come back to try more of their appetizers and drinks! I'd also recommend doing valet, it was a good experience at a very reasonable price.“
“Willie's Mexican Restaurant in Piedmont delivers top-notch service and delicious food. The staff is attentive and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The menu offers a wide range of tasty options, from fresh guacamole to sizzling fajitas. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for any occasion. Overall, Willie's is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine in Piedmont.“
“We came to Atlanta for a competition and decided to pop in and try some local restaurants Tin Lizzy Cantina. OMG the best guac fresh chips salsa and the steak Philly tacos the bomb. Not sure why their rating is lower but I know you can’t please everyone. I give them 10/10 OGG was our waitress so friendly, the down home atmosphere if you come to Atlanta and don’t come eat here. Everything was great. Thanks OGG for the great service we will definitely be back.“
“Food was fresh and very tasteful. The restaurant decor and vibe are both very authentic. My server was professional and very knowledgeable regarding the food menu items. My drink was amazing and filled with flavor. The interior and bathrooms both clean. Enjoyed eating here and will return in the near future.“
“I've been going to the original TdS since the week they opened, back in 2000. A lot has changed in 24 years, but one thing that has not changed is that there is a line out the door about every single time I'm there. Now I'm standing in that line with people that weren't even born when the restaurant opened, surrounded by luxurious buildings and businesses that were once just vacant industrial space. I'm not big on always getting the same thing at a restaurant . . . . except for here. One fish taco, one fried chicken taco, and absolutely the shrimp poblano corn chowder. . . I've been eating that since it was on the menu at Sundown Cafe back in 1996. I don't live in Atlanta anymore, but every time I'm back, there's at least one trip to Taqueria del Sol, and it's not even just for the nostalgia.“
“Staff was great and helpful - only 4 stars because neither of the drinks I got were really what I was expecting/very good.. the other people I was with agreed. Not like terrible drinks but not great compared to the food and atmosphere ?. Food was all great though“
“David was the only person there recently when I flew through Atlanta. It didn’t stop him for giving everyone the best service and great food. He is an impressive man. He’s cheerful, quick and gets orders right. If I needed someone at my company I would hire him immediately. Thanks to Devon for helping identify this outstanding person. Thanks, David“
“The Briarcliff location is always pleasant and clean. The music is varied but ALWAYS good and tasteful . As I usually do…I get the steak Baja at the various locations I visit around the city…this location’s steak was seasoned perfectly. I appreciate good food…at some restaurants I leave disappointed, feeling like I’ve wasted my money. Definitely not the case here…The steak was banging!!!“
“Amicia has some of the best food I’ve had since I moved here. Customer service and food quality is always great. I wish I could get a plate everydayVegetarian options: They can make you a meatless satisfying meal and you wouldn’t be disappointed at all!Dietary restrictions: They can modify your order if you have dietary restrictionsParking: There’s a parking lot across the street from the building“
“My first time trying El Ponce and definitely wasn't disappointed. If your looking for great service, amazing food and a staff that treats you like family then this is definitely the spot. Summer is approaching and if your looking for a great outdoor patio this is the place. Did I mention the Mango amd Peach margaritas are ??!!! Highly recommended and will definitely be a repeat customer!!!“
“I went there twice and the first time food was fresh, full of flavor, delicious reasonable priced. The service was polite and timely they are in a great location so when you park in the parking lot can easily be found.The second time there the food was not as great as the first time and the amount of food seemed smaller but will try again and recommend others to try as well“
“Tried this spot today, and was not disappointed.Had the black bean croquettes which were divine (would work in the kitchen for free just to see how they're made!), and a take out order of chicken, red rice and plantain for my hubby... All was great. A wonderful addition to the Grant Park food scene....“
“Great place to eat with quality food at affordable prices and the staff are friendly and welcoming. First time eating there and we had a great experience. 5 stars for amazing food and great service! Thank you and we'll be returning soon!“
