“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!“

“Visited with my family and EVERY item ordered was delicious. I especially like the option for corn tortillas for the enchiladas, as there are those in my family who are gluten intolerant. The enchiladas were AMAZING and I highly recommend getting them with the beef red chili sauce. The cheese dip and guacamole are favorites, as well. We also ordered the fish tacos, fried chicken tacos, and brisket tacos, with our favorite being all three!“

“The food here is INCREDIBLE. So much flavor in everything we ate. We got the queso bosque for an app and then the Birria tacos and costra tacos and it was also so delicious. I recommend getting the mezcalita! It was hibiscus flavored and also delicious. Alexandra was our server and was so sweet and very attentive.“

“Had their special drink “beso de muerto” (video attached) and it’s so delicious! Food, per usual is always great. Servers are super personable, friendly, and fast service. Favorite thing on the menu has to be carnitas and the Camarones brochette. Calamari is nice and a touch of spice! Definitely a go to for me !“

“privileged to join a private tasting and I have been nothing but excited about the upcoming opening of Sebastian! Their time is A+ and this will be one of the most in-demand restaurants in the city! cant wait“

“We were a party of 8. The food was delicious. We all ordered something different and everyone was happy. Fresh made chips were amazing. The best part was our server Chris. He was accommodating and made our evening very special. I have never written a review before but thought so highly of the hospitality that I had too.“

“Palo Santo is a true gem in Atlanta. The food was absolutely amazing,beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried impressed us. The service was just as great: friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better.
One small tip for future guests: I highly recommend taking an Uber or Lyft, as parking in the area is very limited. Other than that, everything about this place was fantastic, and I can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

“Food was great, good vibes, good music. Food did not take long. Great service! Definitely recommend!“

“My Sister and I enjoyed it. Alex was very nice, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is inviting. The queso was delicious. My bacon and cheese grits were perfect. Next time I'm in Atlanta, I'll definitely try to visit the Birdcage again!“

“The food is always delicious when I come to eat.“

“I am coming back soon again ! I this place has it💯 good food. Thanks for getting my order correct. 💪🧠👍🏻“

“Today was my first day here. The food was awesome and the customer service was out of this world. Don't take my word for it. Try it for yourself.“

“Wow! I have never had a better experience, truly! Before we even walked in the door Malachi made the best first impression with his warm welcome as he opened the door and greeted us. Diana and Farrah were so sweet and made us feel so welcome and offered to take our photos in front of the beautiful backdrops. The atmosphere here is top notch! From the decor, photo ops, and the beautiful and talented fire dancer this place is unbeatable! Dakota took such great care of us and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. She took her time, gave excellent recommendations and overall just the best service we have ever had! Tim welcomed us as we were seated and came by before we finished to ask about our experience which just took the service to the next level. You can tell that customer service and vibe are a top priority here. Did I mention the food was insanely good! We had the trio dip app, mango chicken, and snapper and it was all delicious. Some of the best food we have ever had. Cocktails and mocktails were out of this world! Really, I could go on and on. Highly, highly recommend Tulum! Best vibes, food, and service in Atlanta!“

“Mrs.Rhonda and her team is simply amazing! It was my first time and they made me feel so welcomed. I know I asked a lot of questions but they were so happy to answer them, they made my food with love, and we laughed and talked about our love for food the whole time. The smiles were contagious at this Peachtree Rd. Location and the store was so clean! This is going to be my new weekly treat! Thank you all for making me feel like I was getting Sunday Family Dinner here at Willy’s! Mrs.Rhonda personally made our food with love and I will forever be grateful!“

“Our server was great! However, the hostess was rude and made us wait extra 15 minutes although we already had a reservation in place. Some people who walked in without reservation were sat before us. When we asked her for an update on time, she acted like she didn't hear us and instead one of the servers said they would take a look and see if a table was ready for us. It seemed like she completely forgot we were sitting right in front of her. The food was great! But it took forever for everything to come out, even for the drinks. Which honestly were tasty, but almost felt like we were drinking mocktails. Not strong at all. Part of the game, so you order more I guess. Music was a bit loud. You almost had to yell at each other to talk. I like the Chamblee location better, but this one will do if you're around the area. We didn't checkout the upstairs section, it might be better.“

“Great drinks and excellent food!!!“

“The food was incredible. Very friendly service.“

“Everything was fire. Tacos, tortas, menudo, the bomb 👍👌👌🙌“

“Today was our first time eating at Willie’s. We ate at the location on Woodward Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia. It was very good. We both got the taco salad with ground beef and it was just it was so good. It was so very good. We both got guacamole on top of our taco salad. I wish we had gotten a separate order of guacamole because it was good. It was all very good. The managers name was Charlie. He was just a very nice man, a good manager, the people that work there seem to be very happy with their jobs, which I believe is important to the success of the restaurant. We are about 40 miles from our home so I’m not sure we will ever make it back here, but I’m going to look for a closer location because the food is just that good.“

“Good food and good beverage, and good service 🤤🤤“

“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.“

“Had the best time at Emilio’s Atlanta! The energy was amazing, the music was on point, and the drinks were even better. Drake and Nick at the bar really made the night super personable, funny, and they know how to craft a perfect drink. You can tell they love what they do. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in the city I’ll be back soon!“

“The food was delicious and as authentic as it gets in Midtown Atlanta. I had un taco de lengua (tongue), taco de cabeza (beef head), and un taco al pastor (marinated pork). All very delicious and friendly service. Also a very reasonable price for the amount of meat in the tacos!“

“Muy rico hoy fui por primera vez a vez la verdad exelente servicio la comida mmm riquísima claro que boy a regresar 🥰🥰“

“We discovered this restaurant on a whim and are so happy we visited. This is our new favorite spot. The food was a 100/10 and I'm not even kidding. The Costra is now my FAVORITE type of taco. Nick and his team's service was amazing. We appreciated his conversation, jokes, and overall hospitality-- to me, that is just as important as the food being good. It goes a long way and makes me want to recommend El Santo Gallo to all of my friends. The restaurant is cute and vibrant and the color scheme + decor is very inviting and appealing. I meant to leave this review a few weeks ago, but we ate here again today, and listen, the food and service was just as great as it was the first time-- so now we know they're consistent!

I'd give this place ten stars if I could.“

“Our Latinas in Media Atlanta event was a beautiful success thanks to everyone at El Ponce! Food is delicious and the service exceptional. Holiday decor is so cute! Highly recommend.“

“Being from Texas, but now live outside Atlanta, we missed having Torchy’s available. We were excited that one arrived in Atlanta so go try it out! Let manager Daniel and his team show you!“

“First time going with my family and children and we loved it!!!! Delicious food. We will definitely go back.“

“Good drinks and food. Lovely servers, great family/friend environment. Great for birthdays dinner, business dinners and more.“
