45 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Decatur

“food is delicious highly recommend“

“Great place with good food. I love it.“

“Taqueria del Sol leans more Tex-Mex than strictly traditional Mexican, but what keeps us coming back is how fresh everything tastes. It doesn’t feel like a chain at all—more like a place where the food is made daily with real ingredients and a lot of care.

We usually start with skinny margs while waiting in line (which is part of the experience). It’s surprisingly social—we’ve ended up chatting with people almost every time, and even made a few friends there.

Food-wise, we almost always kick things off with chips, fresca salsa, and queso. The guac is also really good. From there, we’ll either try the weekly special or go with a favorite: the Memphis taco. It typically comes with pork, but I always swap in roasted chicken—“Memphis, sub roasted chicken”—and it’s perfect with the jalapeño coleslaw and turnips.

A quick note: the slaw can be spicy—sometimes more than expected—but that’s part of the charm. You can tell it’s made fresh daily, so the flavors can vary a bit from visit to visit. Personally, I love that—it keeps things interesting while still being consistently delicious.

And we can’t forget the staff. Even if the food weren’t this good, we’d still come back every week for them alone. They’re fun, engaging, and part of what gives the place its unique, community feel.

If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food with a fun, communal vibe, this place delivers every time..“

“great and fast service, nice and welcoming staff“

“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!“

“We came to Atlanta for a competition and decided to pop in and try some local restaurants Tin Lizzy Cantina. OMG the best guac fresh chips salsa and the steak Philly tacos the bomb. Not sure why their rating is lower but I know you can’t please everyone. I give them 10/10 OGG was our waitress so friendly, the down home atmosphere if you come to Atlanta and don’t come eat here. Everything was great. Thanks OGG for the great service we will definitely be back.“

“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.

“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.“

“The workers here are very welcoming. Customer Service goes a very long way. The manager Mr. B Todd is a great leader. It takes a good team and this is it. Continued blessings to this location. 🙏🏽“

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

“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.“

“The Briarcliff location is always pleasant and clean. The music is varied but ALWAYS good and tasteful . As I usually do…I get the steak Baja at the various locations I visit around the city…this location’s steak was seasoned perfectly. I appreciate good food…at some restaurants I leave disappointed, feeling like I’ve wasted my money. Definitely not the case here…The steak was banging!!!“

“The only reason I don't give five stars for the food, is, like most places, you have the plastic problem contributing to plastic pollution, and I haven't found anything saying they only use suppliers certified as maintaining high humane livestock welfare standards. Unfortunate that they don't have a company rating because of that, because as far as quality and flavor, the food is great.“

“Mrs.Rhonda and her team is simply amazing! It was my first time and they made me feel so welcomed. I know I asked a lot of questions but they were so happy to answer them, they made my food with love, and we laughed and talked about our love for food the whole time. The smiles were contagious at this Peachtree Rd. Location and the store was so clean! This is going to be my new weekly treat! Thank you all for making me feel like I was getting Sunday Family Dinner here at Willy’s! Mrs.Rhonda personally made our food with love and I will forever be grateful!“

“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.“

“great food“

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

“We always love frequenting this restaurant. The staff is great and the food is even better.“

“TK our server was so super fun and cute angel, beautiful smile and style and the whole experience from the host seating us to the lava cake was fun and friendly... i can't imagine a more quintessential Chili's experience honestly... 10/10 we closed it down sorry to stay late lol! ♡☆ ^_____^“

“I really like enjoyed the queso, guacamole and fish tacos! I prefer my tacos on a corn tortilla and maybe you can request it but I do like fish tacos on a flour tortilla which is why I chose to go with that one. The food was good. I would definitely go back. The service was great! There was a mess up with our order but they figured it out and were super friendly and helpful in the process.“

“Incredible food with fresh ingredients, great customer service, timely responses. All around an excellent experience. 5 stars!“

“Great tacos with friendly staff. Definitely impressed!!“

“Great service, great place, great people! ,“

“they're always super nice. they greet you no matter where you are, interested in taking your order and making sure they get it right and delivering you the freshest high quality food that they can and it's absolutely delicious and this comes from someone they ate no salads before I was 13 years old. You can hate me. you can love me or we can dance together with the best lunch ever the Polynesian chicken with half and half half rice half salad. oh man! that is absolutely delicious! I'm not even near there and I drive 20 minutes just to get it because it's so damn good. I hope everybody else figures out as good as it is before it's too late¡;?“

“Taxco is my goto restaurant when visiting Atlanta. Centrally located, easy access, and sufficient parking. Nice chips and salsa provided when perusing the menu. Our party selected 4 meals with tacos, burrito, (ground beef), chicken quesadilla, and chicken fajitas. All food was tasty and hot. Leftovers for the fajitas. Server was attentive and thorough, including refills. I will return for my next trip to Atlanta.“

“The food is Ahmazing. The service is phenomenal. The art and whole atmosphere as a whole is very soothing.Sports, good music,excellent staff and by far some best food i have EVER ate. I will continue to eat there and tell many about it.“

“The most delicious tenders I have had in a long time! I had the second level of heat and it was perfect! The pickles are yummy and flavorful, just the right crunch. Charles at the Marietta location was most helpful, I'll definitely return soon!“

“Great food. Would dine out here daily if I could“

“Staff was extremely kind and able to explain any questions asked did not have to wait long at all for food extremely tasteful very clean environment drinks never even got half empty unbelievably quick staff ???

Parking: Sometimes you get lucky and you get to Park very close sometimes you may have to walk very little

Kid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly ?

Wheelchair accessibility: From what I observed it should be no problem whatsoever to be accessible“

“La comida y sobre todo el servicio.Jorge el mejor mesero ☺️“

“Good patio vibe, however, the server we had was so-so.

Loved the chips. Like they were deep fried. Queso dip was a little thin, but it was good. Fish tacos were fried crispy, however, could’ve had a little more fish in the taco. Good cocktail the Skinny Love margarita was actually rather tasty I must say. Charro beans truly kiddy side.“

“This is probably one of my favorite taqueria's of all time. There classic margarita has just enough sweet and tart mix. My favorite things on the menu are salsa trio, shrimp corn chowder (this is a must every visit), fish taco, and beef brisket enchiladas with lemon cream. Pro tip... don't get the queso and dip your chips in the lemon cream when the enchilada comes. The only reason I gave them 4 starts for atmosphere is because each store runs different hours. There is nothing like grabbing a taco and marg as a mid-day snack and the location closest to you is closed.“

“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.“

“Our family goes to this Moe's location almost every weekend and have come to know the staff over the last few years. Their team is always friendly and they ensure our food and service are both excellent. The staff has very low turnover which is unusual for the restaurant business these days. I have always appreciated the quality and quantity of the food which is top notch. Our grandson is coming over this afternoon so we will be headed back again today. See you at Moe's!“

“I got the grilled fish tacos made with care and stuffed to the brim! Server was nice and patient as it was my first time seeing their menu. The salsa Verde with the pico de gallo bust with flavor and the chips were just the right amount of toasty and salty. Fresh black beans with the combo had everything on point with their conscious effort to make the planet fresh.“

“Great place to eat, nice service and polite customer service“

“I love Moe's. Their burritos are awesome (my favorite is the Homewrecker, with steak), their chips are fresh, and they have the best salsas around (my favorite is Who Is Kaiser Salsa? but also like the tomatillo as well as some of the seasonal ones). Oh, and their guacamole is what heaven would be like heave were thick green paste with the perfect flavoring. I'm not so much a fan of their chicken, but who cares when their steak is so good!“

“Love having this Moe’s Southwest Grill right in my neighborhood. This location consistently delivers.

The Stack was so good, and huge. Definitely hits the spot and feels like you’re getting your money’s worth. Everything was fresh and made well.

What really stands out though is the team. Everyone is always friendly, welcoming, and keeps things moving. It makes a difference when your local spot has good energy.

Grateful to have a solid, reliable go-to here in Hapeville.“

“Fantastic treatment on my birthday! Thank you for the birthday burrito, special treatment, and extra surprise. You made my day. :)“

“good food excellent family atmosphere ... very good customer service�“

“Food was GREAT! The servers were wonderful! It's the older white guy that always has a chip in his shoulder, stingy with the chips. I ordered a cup of queso and a Jr. Meal that already comes with chips. I asked for an extra bag for queso he told me I had enough. Excuse me?! This order is for someone else and I thought chips comes with queso. He's never friendly.“
