I havent eaten meat in over 10 years and confirmed with the woman at the desk 2 times to not put meat in my burrito. She spoke fluent English and still put chicken in my burrito. Spoke to the line cook and she confirmed the woman told her to put chicken in the order. I took multiple bites without noticing. So if you have an allergy this is a warning not to eat here.

Cashier lady should be fired on the spot. Horrific attitude- when asking a simple question. I immediately went elsewhere. Should not be customer facing.

I’ve never left a negative review before but this place was absolutely terrible. Airport food is usually poor but this was horrendous. I could barely eat my one taco and didn’t finish the other.

It was rubbery tortillas cut in half and placed on top of each other and the inside beans and corn were not even warm. Literally the worst taco and airport meal I have ever had. Staff was also rude and flippant.

Honestly it must depend a lot on what time of day you get here and who you get to prepare your food. My experience was so very much better than the ones described here. This is a great, unique style taco place. Yeah it’s not your typical tacos but it was fresh. The fried chicken taco was crispy chicken and this amazing cheese sauce with lots of nice corn. The pollo asado had warm chicken and cool fresh veggies/pineapple and guac. I can see that if it sat for too long the whole thing would be lukewarm,, but fresh it was great!

Great service (tho the cashier was gone, the cook stepped up and took my order). So nice and the pollo asada was so good.

Tacos seemed like they were just thrown together and dunked in mystery cheese. Limited Vegan options, overpriced, extremely slow service.

Miserable staff who are rude and dismissive. Food looks like it was prepared for inmates, zero consistency, zero care. Next time I’ll go somewhere else or starve.

I personally travel to Atlanta exclusively for the buttermilk chicken tacos, I don’t understand the hate this place gets, it’s probably the best fusions of southern and Mexican food on the planet. FUVE STARS

Slow service, rude, unfriendly, sold out of chicken (so rules out 50% of the menu). Another horrendous establishment in a sea of bad choices at Atlanta airport. Sad that this is one of the largest in the US and it is so dismal.
