50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Atlanta

“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!“

“Our new find in Atl‼️❤️ We love everything about it. …. So does our doggie 🐾“

“Love it! Consistent every time! Great Cocktails!“

“Great time celebrating Dia de los Muertos 💀“

“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!“

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

“This was my 9th time at Palo Santa and was the best it has ever been! I went with 2 people who had never been, so I was able to try some new dishes this time. ALL were super delicious and beautifully presented. The wait staff were fun, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes and inspiration behind them. Cocktails were soooooo tasty and nice and strong! The desserts were a nice ending to a fantastic meal! THE BEST panna cotta and chocolate lava cake I have ever had! All in all, this meal was the best I had ever experienced at Palo Santo! I am already looking forward to coming back in the next few months! And thank you to the management who added lights to the tables after my last review of them being too dark! It made a BIG difference! Do NOT hesitate to make a reservation here for any occasion!“

“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.“

“I visited this little spot a few months back with a friend of mine. The ambience was amazing, as were the food and drinks. The crab cakes were so delicious and fresh...
just cooked. The bartender, Asia was pulling double duty as a hostess and a bartender. She recommended something for my friend. It was absolutely awesome. The manager came by our table to make sure that everything was good. So kudos to Natalie Bianca, and I will definitely be returning.“

“Great Birria. Shrimp, beef, and chicken“

“Great food great staff!!!!)“

“Excelente la cómida, las bebidas, y el buen servicio que nos brindaron.“

“Whether choosing to 'graze' with the appetizers or small plates, or jump right into the tacos and mains, we have only had great dishes after several meals. The last visit confirmed that the guac and salsa sampler is a great choice to have for talking over margaritas. The fried cheese is also fantastic even if better suited to 3-4 people if you want to have other dishes later. Alma Cocina has become one of our favorite places in Atlanta.“

“Amazing food , drinks & service , such a cute spot , delicious strong margaritas & once again amazing service. ❤️“

“My first time in New Summerhill!! The food was delicious and the atmosphere is great. Our hostess/waitress Ivonne was phenomenal. She was personable , professional and had an overall warm and inviting spirit. The food was great and they were willing to make some modifications for me. We will be back.“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“I go here a lot to pick up food for my vegan wife. I've tasted it's legit.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious food, beautiful decor & awesome service! Love coming here for happy hour or dinner“

“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.“

“The burger was tasty and I haven’t had onion rings that good since Varsity when u was a child 😋“

“Great food! fantastic staff! will absolutely be back!“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend.“

“Food was delicious, staff are extremely friendly, and environment was great. It has enough energy to really enjoy the experience but it’s not so loud that you can’t have a conversation. They also recently put wallpaper up which brought a whole new feel to the seating area. Can’t recommend enough and will certainly continue eating at Rosa!!“

“I really like this place for lunch. I usually go with the Bistec A La Parilla or the Ropa Vieja. When ordering the steak, make sure to let them know how you want it cooked or else they won’t ask and you’ll get it overcooked. Good Cuban food just not full of flavor like others, that are more authentic.“

“SHAY did an amazing job serving dozens of guests at the bar- despite the fact that she had no help. She and the 2 table servers deserve a raise. Management/ owner needs to wake up and hire more help though, and pitch in themselves. The bathrooms need attention as well. The food was good but took a while to come out because of not sufficient staffing.“

“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“

“Wonderful service! If you have Anna, you are in great hands!“

“El was the best. Awesome service and personality. Would recommend based on food and service. When in Atlanta will come again. 💯“

“The food here is immaculate. I’ve been twice, and Joshua has always been a great guide when it comes to recommendations. Everything is delicious here. Google won’t allow me to post the video but my favorites are the panko shrimp and the ribeye taco. Their in-house pineapple and cucumber drink mixed together is the bomb! 🙃“

“New to the area and enjoyed the drinks and dinner“

“I absolutely LOVE this place!! Today was my 2nd time here and again it did not disappoint! The service is excellent! Melina was amazing! Such a great, fun personality! And she gave excellent recommendations for the food and drinks! We even told her to surprise us with our last drink order and she made the most delicious drinks!
The food is very fresh and so good! This time we had the La Sirena and the Mexican corn. Both were so delish! And the 3 salsas they gave us to have with our tacos was so yummy too! Even the water was good and refreshing! Cucumbers and lime in it which was so refreshing 😋 We sat on the patio which was a nice view of the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone“

“I love they nachos and the baja burritos ❤❤❤“

“Carnitas Mochoacan Mexican Food catered my daughter's graduation party. I ordered $900 worth of food for 200 people. It was prepared on time and the packaging made it very easy to transport into my car. The rice and beans, which seem simply, we're a crowd pleaser. I also bought 10lbs of pollo, carne asada, and pastor. Everyone at the party commented on the food and asked where I got it. The order didn't come with tortillas but I bought those separately. It did come with a generous amount of salsa verde, onions, cilantro, and limes. Good food is key to a good party and this food made my party fabulous. Thank you guys!“

“This was my first time here and I truly enjoyed it! Our server, Daniella was excellent! She helped with drink choices and food choices! (I tried the Rudolph). The atmosphere was very chilled! Love it! My family and I will definitely come back!“

“Amazing food and an even better vibe! Musa and the team were so friendly and helpful, with spot-on recommendations. Can’t wait to come back when I’m in town again!“

“Everything we had was delicious, particularly the guacamole and chicken enchiladas! We'll be back soon!“

“This establishment is conveniently located nearby, and I recently visited to sample their Birria. The tacos were wonderfully seasoned, and the flavor was quite authentic. However, the consommé lacked depth of flavor and was rather thin. I am not accustomed to a consommé that is primarily liquid. I certainly plan to return to experience their tamales and Menudo. I would recommend giving it a try, as the food was enjoyable.“

“The place was complete crazy but the manager Sarah was truly Grace under Pressure. Oh...the salsa is the best!“

“Lovely open air dining room, tasty and fast food service. Friendly bartenders. Great location.“

“Yay Las margaritas is back and it’s better than ever! New menu, a lovely atmosphere, fun music, and delicious food. Oscar the owner is back and the family owned business vibe is still the best thing about it!“

“Kourtland was beyond amazing!! He’s such an asset and probably the best server I’ve ever had. He was attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, kind, passionate and so much more. He deserves a raise and we will definitely be coming back just to see Kourtland.“

“This was my first time here and I truly enjoyed it! Our server, Daniella was excellent! She helped with drink choices and food choices! (I tried the Rudolph). The atmosphere was very chilled! Love it! My family and I will definitely come back!“

“Very good atmosphere and the special burrito was excellent.“

“Our experience was amazing! As first time guests and celebrating our anniversary, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Makeda made sure to make our experience top tier too! Make sure you come to enjoy the food and great service! Oh and the drinks….the margarita flight for sure took you to outer space LOL!“

“Absolutely amazing! We found this today on the way to the Zoo and it will for sure be one of our go to spots from now on ❤️ we loved it and the food was amazing! I love the atmosphere of the place! We will be back! 🫶🏻“

“amazing food, give it a try“
