“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!“

“Excellent vegan eatery serving simple but tasty plant based tacos, burritos, and some other interesting fusion dishes a few blocks away from the Beltline.

The Wet Burrito, Sloppy joe, and the Sweet Potato Fries were 🤌🏾. Served with side of southern hospitality by the friendly staff.

Looking forward to another visit next time I'm in Atlanta.“

“My review is specifically for the new location in Woodstock, Georgia. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped into **Rreal Taco** last night and had an incredible experience from the moment I walked in. **Mishell** at the front of the house was so welcoming. She made sure I was properly introduced to the restaurant and felt right at home. Gracias, Mishell, por esa bienvenida tan especial. I decided to go off-menu and asked **Pablo** to be creative. I wanted something spicy and fun, and he delivered a masterpiece. He made a specialty margarita with **Tequila Ocho Single Estate Plata**, fresh jalapeño juice, and passion fruit. ¡Qué nivel de detalle! It is rare to find a drink that balances heat and fruit so well without masking the quality of the tequila. Between the hospitality from Mishell and the talent of Pablo behind the bar, this spot is a standout. Es un orgullo tener este nivel de servicio y cultura aquí en Woodstock. Highly recommended. ¡Vayan a verlos!“

“Delicious food, great drinks, and an amazing atmosphere. The vibe was chill and welcoming, and the staff provided top-tier service. Everything was exactly what I was looking for. Add in the weekly drink specials, and this place is a winner. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Tacos and service was great. We sat on the patio because it was very busy, it was a very hot day and it was very cramped, making it even more hot. It was very loud even on the patio. I typically like a more quiet environment, but the tacos were very good, so will just go back at a less busy time. They will validate your parking ticket from the parking garage, so that was a nice bonus.“

“Visited this Velvet Taco location today and we had a great experience! Crystal greeted us promptly with a smile and was very patient and helpful with all our ordering questions. She constantly kept busy, taking orders and even wiping tables when needed. She is awesome! Our tacos and sides were fresh and delicious! We would absolutely recommend this place. They exceeded our expectations!“

“After a long day of visiting tourists sites, I was in much need of an adult beverage and some grub. Our son told us that we had to go to Superica so we jumped in the car and took off like Batman looking for a Midnight dance with Cat Woman. In minutes we were through the door and quickly seated. Even though we had a fairly large party our server Justin made sure that we felt like the only people in the crowded room. The house salsa here is so incredible that I begged on hands and knees that the bartender craft a cocktail using it as the base. After much arguing, debating and signing of waivers, the bartender I believe his name is DeBossie (forgive me for the sp) returned with the David Moon Special. It was spicy, salsay (making up words) and refreshing. It's not for everyone but if you're bold enough to take the road less traveled then I highly recommend it. After a couple of DMs and stuffed on some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and I've dined in many Latino countries, Chef Kenny came over for a chat. My wife had to stop me from jumping over the table and giving him a deep long kiss for the feast that he provided us. My whole family left full, happy and feeling like we didn't just dine but had an amazing experience. As a plus, most of the waitresses are very easy on your eyes if you know what I mean. Highly Highly Highly Recommend dining here. And if you mention that I sent you and you order a David Moon Special then they will give you a free yes FREE glass of Aqua. Guaranteed.

“Ambience and — From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The standout of our visit was the manager, whose genuine warmth and passion for hospitality truly touched our hearts. When she noticed my elderly husband needed a little extra care and seating comfort, she stepped in immediately with unmatched kindness and attentiveness, making us feel like family. We didn't expect her to return to our table, but she did, twice!“

“amazing food and service!“

“8/1/26 I rarely given bad reviews but this is a 1st. Today, I would give this restaurant a 0/10. I didn’t even make it to tasting the food as the food that was ordered never made it to my table but another table who had already checked out. My waitress didn’t even check on my party to see if any of our food made it to our table. It seems as though this place needs more space to accommodate the amount of people coming to patronize. I’m all for supporting black businesses but this is one that I cannot support.

UPDATE: 8/29/26 The owner reached out to me and expressed sincere concern about my previous visit to the restaurant and offered me a a chance to have a better experience. I booked a new reservation for yesterday and I can say that it was a better experience than I previously had. We received great customer service by a new waitress that checked on us often. The food that we ordered came out to our exact table and the food was good. See pictures. I appreciate the owner Crystal making sure our experience was better than before and for that we will come back again to try the breakfast options. I will say the LAMB CHOPS were superb‼“

“Great neighborhood spot for quick lunch/breakfast. Homemade tortillas really make it stand out.

Fast service, friendly staff, decent prices. Only complaint is the side salad with burritos seems to have gotten smaller / less fresh since they opened“

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

“They have the most delicious food for such a great price!!

Edit 9/20/19: Extremely disappointed with the price. The food is still good but the price double. Unbelievable. Not worth the price for the food. Huarache use to be $2.50 now it's $5 . Not worth it!!!!“

“amazing food, give it a try“

“First time there, love it, would definitely go again“

“I saw this on TikTok and I had to come. I saved it for a later time and when I was in the area, I went ahead and came by. I was not disappointed the strawberry and lime drink was awesome.
Had two tacos of El Pastor, which is your signature taco that sells the most it was great best tasting one I’ve tasted so far the Carne Asada was not so good.
There was plenty of TVs the outside atmosphere is awesome. It’s a nice little area next to a 76 gas station next to a Walgreens love the area. I’m sure this is popping during the weekend.“

“Me and my friend tyler were heading to el rey taco on buford hwy and when we got there it was jammed pack so we decided to leave and go to another taco spot down the street and we were making our way we saw a bright lit parking lot full of people with a taco truck that we have never heard of we actually drove past and something told me to turn around and that it would be worth it. So i made the uturn and we pulled in. Got to meet the owner and she was extremely sweet. Cool lil lady lol she gives young mom vibes mind you im only 22. But anyway we order 3 tacos each i got birria and my homie got 1 birria. The tacos were amazing cooked too perfection with a great portion of food great size and no stingeyness and great quality. As you can see by this long paragraph. To sum this up 11/10 definitely recommend. If you thinking about going GO“

“Had food from them at family’s pre-wedding dinner and when I tell you these were the best tacos I may have ever had, it’s no exaggeration. Their guac? To die for. Proteins, seasoned to perfection. Elotes, chef’s kiss. My mouth’s watering thinking of their food. They absolutely know how to do their thing and do it *well*. Will definitely look for their truck when I’m in the Atlanta area.“

“Amazing Vibe 24/7 - delicious food and beverages 😋“

“Love coming here! I haven’t tried a single thing that wasn’t above average. Staff is always friendly and the interior is gorgeous and cozy. The menu is diverse but they do well with all of the variable items. Definitely check this place out!“

“Very nice food enjoy.good“

“What a gem. I've lived in Sandy Springs for years and cannot believe I've never been here! I stumbled upon this permanent taco truck by chance and will certainly return frequently. Delicious street tacos for extremely reasonable prices. They've got outdoor seating or you can take to go. 10/10 recommend.“

“I love their tacos , good customer service highly recommended“

“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.“

“We came because our usual spot was a 45 minute wait. So glad we did, I preferred Betos Birra, especially the consume. Much thicker and way more flavorful. Also had a margarita and it was delicious and perfect ratio of mix to alc. Will definitely be back.“

“We had meals delivered to Winburn Middle School and the food was amazing 👍“

“Awesome service and delicious food 🥰“

“Great food and pleasant servers“

“If you are looking for a true neighborhood hangout with top-notch food and zero pretension, Holy Taco in East Atlanta Village hits every single mark. We dropped by before the main happy hour rush hit (their $20 weekday carafe deal runs from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM and is well worth timing your visit around) and had an absolute standout meal from start to finish.

The Food & Drinks

Starters: We kicked things off with the guacamole, queso, and shrimp ceviche. The ceviche was incredibly bright and refreshing—the perfect palate cleanser before the mains.

Mains: Both entrees were executed to perfection. The Carne Asada arrived at the table sizzling and packed with deep, savory flavor. The Norwegian Salmon was expertly seared and served alongside tender broccoli tossed in a beautifully balanced garlic sauce.

Cocktails: The bar doesn't hold back—the drinks are wonderfully strong and crafted with care. The Hibiscus Margarita offered a balanced, floral tartness, while the Spicy Mezcal Margarita delivered the ideal hit of smoke and heat.

Vibe & Logistics
The team here is genuinely friendly and inviting, making you feel like a regular the moment you walk through the door. While street parking in EAV can sometimes be a puzzle, Holy Taco makes it easy with dedicated parking available in the back as well as ample side street spots. Considering the heavy pours, high quality of ingredients, and exceptional execution, the pricing is remarkably reasonable.

Whether you live down the street or are just passing through the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and check them out. You won't be disappointed!“

“I’ve seen this little food truck a couple dozen times at the corner of Brown Mill Road & North Central Road (Crowne Road SE) just off I-75. There’s always people in line but I just haven’t stopped because I’m very particular about Mexican food.
There is a real good selection to choose from and I almost bought three more tacos, a bowl, and 10 wings, however I decided instead of trying the menu all at once that I’d start small.
Ordered a fish taco on a flour tortilla with no cilantro, a steak taco with no cilantro and sour cream and an order of Mexican Street corn.
The fish taco was cooked to absolute perfection. It was seasoned and flavored nicely without being overly spicy. My only criticism would be amount of onions was a little excessive. After the first bite I took off half the remaining onions. I put a little of the sour cream on it and squeezed a wedge of lime, and it was extremely good.
The steak taco was also something I enjoyed very much. The meat was flavored without being spicy, tender and the sour cream with the cucumber slices and a little lime reminded me of mini-gyro, minus the tomato.
I watched her cut the Mexican Street corn off the cob and I used a wedge of lime on it. Other than needing just a little bit of salt it was very good.
The way my jobs run I know that I’ll be back in this neighborhood again And if they are here I think I’m going to try a chicken taco and a bowl as well as an Agua Fresca.“

“Stopped in just now & had to leave a review. The breakfast burrito with Huevos, chorizo, papas & beans/cheese is bussin bussin frfr! And the sauce, brah.. you won’t be disappointed. Amazing service!“

“Where can I start? Well first off I come here AT LEAST 3x a week since I’ve discovered Rusty Taco 3 months ago. The staff is 10/10 and delivers a amazing, kind and welcoming experience everytime I stop by. I’ve been on the hunt for a quality taco spot for a while and this place is everything I was looking for. Their tacos, rolls, burritos, sides are all delicious. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their shrimp tacos and wish they were on the Taco Tuesday menu. If the Shrimp tacos made the taco Tuesday menu I will be there EVERY Tuesday.“

“Great food, excellent price point. Fresh food“

“The pastor taco was delicious. The rice is dry but still good. Be prepared to order in Spanish or just point at the menu board. The cashier didn't want to speak English. I speak enough Spanish to order and converse but if you know how to say onion in English, you know the basics. I prefer to speak English but if my client is speaking the most popular language in the world and here in Atlanta, I'm going to speak it. I learn Spanish just for the few that pretend to no habla me lingua, y los otros que no entender realamente.“

“Bar of Thailand is a hidden gem in Atlanta! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

The food was outstanding fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was made with quality ingredients and had the perfect balance of authentic Thai flavors. The portions were generous, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection.“

“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.“

“Do yourself a favor and get the quesabirria. If a quesadilla and a Birria taco got together, this is the heavenly combination. Sauces were excellent too! We went around 3 in the afternoon so it wasn't busy at all, and were seated right away. Staff was extremely friendly as well. 10/10!“

“Found this spot on social media and I’m elated that I did!!! It’s in a small spot but that’s great. Not too much of a crowd. You can be very casual and enjoy great food!! The chef is very engaging and explains each dish. Everything was made fresh. The Suya and corn are “chef’s kiss”. But again, everything was great. Don’t overlook this hidden gem in Stone Mountain!!!“

“It’s 6PM on Cinco de Mayo! We arrived at the perfect time before the crowd. We ordered the chicken nachos, birria quesadilla, and churros. You can dine inside the food hall or outdoors. While we waited for our buzzer to go off, we sat outside and drank our margaritas. It didn’t take too long. Our food was fresh, hot and delicious. The portion sizes were generous too! The only complaint we had was that we wished the dulce de leche was warm with the churros. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and look forward to dining again in the future.“

“I will patronize this “Black owned business” any day. Great customer service from Meca and the owner Frank; and I’m BIG on customer service. How they treated me tonight, meant a lot to me….especially in world where it seems like how you people doesn’t matter anymore. I wish you all much success and I pray your business thrives. May God’s hands be upon all that you do. Much love!!“

“Staff are great and super kind! But the food is amazing! Highly recommend“

“The cheesesteak was absolutely delicious. The best cheese fries we have ever had. The fresh lemonade was also spot on. The prices are great and you get a lot for what you pay. I would recommend this place hands down over the rest of the choices.“

“Great tacos at the Politan!“
