I had a menu with avocado and it was really delicious! I really enjoyed the salad too! A friend who came to the store with me said that the corn he ordered was too salty, so even after eating it, he came home and said it was still salty. I enjoyed everything ^^

The restaurant was decent! One thing I loved was the taste of pretty fresh ingredients. The queso with beef added was decidedly. The tacos were fresh tasting but a little underwhelming regarding flavor and sauce. We added queso to it and it took it up a notch.

Visiting from Cleveland Ohio and this place did not disappoint. The food was amazing and so was our server, Joe. Definitely recommend the guacamole and chips, burrito bowl, and tacos. Ingredients are fresh and margs were delicious!

Minero is a Mexican restaurant located in Ponce City Market Atlanta. As we had quite a bit of fast food already and Asian food is not an option (we have better and cheaper options in Singapore), we decided to try out the Mexican tacos as Minero this evening…
Ponce City Market had its roots from the Ponce de Leon amusement park and ballpark in the early 1900s and in the 1920s, was constructed as a regional warehouse and distribution centre. In the 2000s, Jamestown bought over the site with the intention to redevelop for mixed-use while honouring its history. Today, Ponce City Market is home to retail shops, restaurants and office spaces. For visitors like us, it offered a different retail experience altogether. The Food Hall itself is home to about 30 restaurants, including Minero – a casual Mexican eatery serving authentic dishes inspired by the flavors and culture of Mexico, led by Executive Chef Bill Hogan.
From Minero’s website, we found the reason why they named their restaurant Minero:
“Named after the Spanish word for “miner”, Minero represents the storied history of the taco, which supposes that Mexican silver miners named the dish in the 18th century. The word “taco” referred to the dynamite miners used to excavate the ore in the mines, which was made of pieces of paper wrapped around gunpowder and inserted into the holes carved in the rock face.”
They also shared that the corn used to make their tortillas are specially chosen and the masa are made in-house daily:
“The Minero team tasted over 40 varieties of corn from different producers before choosing their favorite: Masienda. Using a traditional nixtamalization process to make fresh masa every day, Minero grinds the corn in house, which results in a truly authentic corn tortilla.
The corn Minero uses comes from Masienda, a company operated by Jorge Gaviria. Masienda’s goal is to connect with small independent farmers in Mexico who are growing single origin landrace varieties of corn to import to the United States. Minero uses a Yellow Olotillo corn grown in Oaxaca. By utilizing this amazing company and their unique products, we are able to create an incredibly delicious tortilla.”
After being seated, the staff brought over the Minero menu and served water. After browsing, we decided upon
Tacos – 2 for $11 (We chose Al Pastor Pork – charred pineapple, white onion, avocado puree, cilantro and Grilled Steak – picked peppers, green onion, queso fresco, cilantro)
We were delighted by the Tacos offerings at Minero. The Al Pastor Pork was slightly spicy and flavourful with its meat tender and fatty, just the way we like it. The Grilled Steak on the other hand was not really the beef steak but more like a chili beef. Still delicious with the yellow capsicum which was slightly sweet – adding a nice crunchy texture. As for the masa itself, we love the texture which was slightly thicker, giving the taco a nice bite...

Fantastic service and excellent food. The margaritas are among the best I’ve ever had, inclusive of restaurants in California and Mexico. Well priced and the location is good enough. What else can you ask for?

I stopped by for lunch on a weekday.
The steak and chicken tacos were excellent, and the food came out quickly (though it made me wonder if the protein was just reheated).
The salsa, guac and queso sampler was great.
The service was attentive and good overall.
