This is one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. The food is always super good. Our waitress (I think her name is Lisa) was a whole vibe. She was funny, kind, and attentive. Can't wait to go back.

The place was dirty the lady named Lisa with the braces. She was very rude from the time I walked in to me, getting seated to me, asking for what I wanted as far as food she brought me out a taco with no flavor. The shrimp was undercooked there was no sauce I asked her for sauce she said, whatever is on the table that’s what you get in a rude manner. I saw her behind some curtain next to a trashcan, handling some personal items and then went and handled cash, and then turned around and was touching peoples food without washing her hands with no gloves I noticed that, my shrimp taco has a foul smell and taste and seemd like was spoiled the tables had food that look like it been there for a long time sitting on the tables it appeared that the people that were cooking behind the counter or cross contaminating and I noticed that so it made me not want to eat anymore. The food was not even palatable , I did let her know on my way out that I did not have the best experience and I was really looking forward to trying this place and I was a little disappointed. She immediately yelled that she wasn’t going to beg me to stay and that I can get the F out and I don’t have to come back then she started to curse and talk about me in Spanish not knowing that I know Spanish and when I let her know that I knew Spanish she started to Get aggressive and come towards me like she was trying to hit me. All I did was nicely tell her that I think she could improve her business by taking constructive criticism that lady Liza looks like she needs mental help and the place needs to have the health department there because it is clearly unsanitary and definitely not up to cold and not any kind of way I would never recommend anyone eating there and this is not just a review trying to down the place. I actually was trying to give her constructive criticism, but she doesn’t want to take it so someone like that scares me because that means she will feed the public anything

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!

If I could give it a zero rating, I wish I could!! Nothing to see!! First I went with my boyfriend to eat and the lady seemed to have no respect! Even my boyfriend said that he was uncomfortable with the way the lady was offering him, otherwise the food was not what we ordered.He gave something different... and my boyfriend gave him the wrong drink like 3 times!! The food is not good, we have been to a better authentic Mexican restaurant and THIS IS NOTHING TO SEE!!! VERY CURRENT AND THE LADY WHO SERVED US WAS ALSO CURRENT!! Bad service !!

Excellent and friendly service. I had the shrimp and steak fajitas, they were the best I've ever had. The meat was seasoned perfectly. My daughter had a chicken quesadilla, when I say insane. You can tell they took their time and seasoned and stewed the chicken, it was amazing. Definitely will be going back. Oh yeah the chips and salsa were fresh and hot.

What an awesome hidden gem. After a busy day of working and a workout break, I was starving and had no clue what I was craving. On my way home I pulled over for a second to figure out what the heck I was doing next, and ended up in the parking lot of Mi Barrio. Located in the midst of a busy part of East Atlanta, if you blink, you could really miss this gem. I wasn't really looking for it but just stumbled upon their front door! I quickly took a peek at their Yelp page and looking at the reviews of my fellow Yelpers, I knew I was in the right spot. So I headed on in. Dim but gently brightened up with natural light from outdoors, I loved how authentic the vibe was when I entered. I didn't feel like I was in some gentrified, modern Mexican eatery, but instead, in an authentic Taqueria. It's not a huge place but there's enough room to bring your family out! I was warmly greeted by the sweetheart behind the counter and escorted to a table by another. When I arrived, there was only one gentleman sitting inside, but by the time I left, there were 4 or 5 tables full of customers. As soon as I sat down there were fresh chips and salsa waiting for me. Y'all. That salsa was DELICIOUS. Wow. So spicy, so fresh. I could eat it everyday. I sat for a while waiting to order, but I think it was only because I tend to look preoccupied when solo dining because I'm usually nose-first into my book or iPad lol. As soon as I locked eyes with the young lady taking orders, she headed straight to me and was an angel. I ended up ordering her recommendation: Carne asada tacos with corn tortillas and I grabbed a beer from the fridge before my food came. (Yes, I went to the gym and then had a beer, pls mind your biz ) I swear I looked away for one second and my plate came out sizzling a minute later, lol. Not in a sense that it wasn't fresh, because it absolutely was! The portion was amazing, there wasn't a clear spot on that plate. It came with beans, rice, a little lettuce + tomato and avocado on the side. Paired with their verde sauce and the hot sauce on the table, I was stuffed leaving. It was all so delicious and the steak was well-seasoned without going overboard. Family-owned and operated, I'm a new believer and fan. With these amazing dishes, prices and team members assisting, how could I not be?

Since moving to Atlanta a few years ago this gem has been home for me and my family. The food is *chefs kiss*! The vibe is super cozy and welcoming. The owner even knows our orders before we’ve opened our mouths. That alone takes intention and care for your customers.If you haven’t given it a try then do yourself a favor. You won’t leave hungry.My go to is the chicken chimichanga but you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu.Parking: There are limited spots in the lot but, worst-case scenario, you can always find street parking in the area.Kid-friendliness: I bring my now 3-year-old with us to dine-in. She’s been visiting since she was months old. Even she feels at home here.There is a high chair available.

I don't recommend this restaurant at all. Food and service are average at best, I honestly can't believe the good reviews. Expensive for the quality of the food as well. Will never return.

Wonderful authentic Mexican food. The biggest struggle is knowing when they will be open because they open when they want to, and don’t keep consistent days or hours
