I’ve eaten here a few times before. When they first opened they were very popular in the food was very good. The last two times I’ve ordered food from this location it has been just fair. I just ordered food for takeout, two tacos and a shrimp cocktail. I paid $12 for a shrimp cocktail. There is a picture attached. Literally maybe 1/2 a cup tomatoes and juice. As you can see in the picture there are maybe two shrimp that are diced up into pieces in this $12 shrimp cocktail. My order totaled $27.14 this will be the last time I will eat at this restaurant and I told the girl who took my order that it would be, and she didn’t seem to care. I live in the area and have noticed less and less people in the restaurant and cars outside. I believe that everyone has figured out that the food is just okay and the value is very poor. I do not recommend others eat here!

For the life of me, I can’t understand any of the negative ratings on this place. These are the best, most authentic tacos that I’ve had in Metro Atlanta. The environment is wonderful and the service is fantastic. Dunwoody is lucky to have this place in their community and I really hope they keep doing well. This is way way way better than something like Taqueria del Sol.

From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be special. The atmosphere immediately set the tone — beautifully decorated with warm lighting, vibrant colors, and Spanish music playing softly in the background. It felt inviting, cozy, and full of life, like a little escape to Spain right in our city.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. You can tell the chefs put real care and passion into what they serve. The ingredients tasted fresh, the presentation was on point, and every bite had that rich, comforting taste that makes you want to slow down and savor it. The drinks were equally amazing — refreshing, balanced, and made to complement the food perfectly.

What really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. They checked in at just the right times, offered great recommendations, and made us feel completely at home. That kind of hospitality really elevates the whole experience.

This is the perfect spot for a date night, a dinner with friends, or even just to grab some takeout when you’re craving something flavorful and different. The setup offers both comfortable chair and table seating, giving it a casual yet classy vibe. Whether you dine in or take your meal to go, you can count on great quality and a memorable experience.

I’ll definitely be returning soon — and I’ll be telling everyone I know who loves exploring Spanish culture and cuisine to check this place out. If you appreciate bold flavors, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed here. This restaurant truly captures the spirit of Spain in every way!

I’m really glad I didn’t listen to the negative reviews. They’re most likely from people who think black pepper is spicy. Anyway, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve tried and it was recommended by my favorite chef Ford Fry. The restaurant has a diner and old fashioned vibe which I’m a huge fan of. Food came out very quickly and the portions were very very generous! I really look forward to coming back. It’s the type of restaurant that always keeps you craving their food. 10/10

Update: I had to come back and have the burrito. Best I ever had.

I popped into Wahaka for a taco on my way home one night. They have a bunch of taco options, but mostly geared towards meat eaters and only 1 vegetarian taco on the menu. Before even ordering they brought out this cute variety tray of sauces for me to enjoy with my food.
I ordered the lamb bacon taco which was delicious.

I tried three of their famous tacos, the flavor and service were good. However, the prices feel slightly high for the portion size. The atmosphere is pleasant, though it’s more casual than fancy.

Oh boy this one was exciting!! After popping up on social media a ton over the past few weeks I just knew it was paid marketing by another low grade Atlanta restaurant.
I finally found myself on that side of town and figured you know what let’s play the game and check it out. Mind you I had 2 back up restaurants already in mind when they dropped the ball.

We arrived and it was pretty empty, so we were greeted and quickly sat. It’s a rather small restaurant but they have maybe 40 seats inside then about the same outside on a nice patio area which is where we decided to sit.

We went on taco Tuesday which was 2 for 1 al pastor tacos. Based off most places $6 tacos come with a half scoop of meat so I figured let’s order multiples to be safe.

We ended up ordering al pastor tacos, esquites, carne asada valcanes, chicken quesadilla, and a suadero taco.

The al pastor tacos were absolutely loaded with meat!! I mean 2 of those have more meat than what most places would give you on 5 or 6 tacos. The meat was juicy and flavorful as well as hot. I was very surprised with these considering 2 for 1 I thought they would be skimpy and they were not.

The esquites… well the flavor was good but just way too much liquid. It was almost like a soup once mixed. Still delicious you just have to strain liquid off each bite or it gets super messy.

The chicken quesadilla comes with a generous scoop of quac and again absolutely loaded with meat, and some really tasty looking smashed potatoes. While I didn’t taste it the kids absolutely destroyed the entire plate and loved it.

The suadero taco again like the pastor, absolutely loaded, tender, juicy meat with great flavor.

Then the star of the show!! That damn carne asada valcane. WOW! This thing blew me away. The delicious mound of tender, juicy carne asada, the crispy slightly salty cheese, the light spread of beans I mean my giants thing sent me over the top. I can’t remember the last time I’ve taken a bite of food and had to stop and just appreciate the moment of utter deliciousness but this one’s one of those moments.

On a taco Tuesday you could easy order 1 order of 2 for 1 and a valcane and be absolutely stuffed. Maybe spend $15 for an extremely delicious meal.

Oh and let’s not forget about the “salsa flight” they send out. 6 different sauces all tasty in their own way and something for everyone.

Now of course part of the dinning experience is the service and I think that’s slightly where they tripped up. I feel like with only like 2 other tables the service was a little spotty. Times we couldn’t find the server or had to look for her. When we asked for things like limes for the tacos it took a while cause it the food to kind of get cold. We had to go ask for our bill. Certainly their weak point for the evening was the service. Food remarkable, and for their sake I would go back based off the food with expectations of average customer service.

The tacos at this restaurant are good overall, though they are not exceptional. The pastor taco is clearly the standout item on the menu and is, in my opinion, the best taco the restaurant offers. It has the most flavor and is the item I would recommend the most to anyone visiting.

One downside, however, is that it can take quite a while to receive the tacos after ordering. The wait time is often longer than expected. Additionally, during our most recent visit, the tacos were not as good as they usually are. The restaurant also appeared to be running low on many ingredients, which limited some of the options available.

Overall, while certain tacos—especially the pastor—are very enjoyable, there are also some items that are less impressive. The restaurant has some strong options, but the experience can be somewhat inconsistent.

I used to be a regular here but this is the Last time I come here. The first times the tacos were really good but i don’t know if a recipe changed or the chefs did but the 2nd time today the food was sooo bland. Onions were bland and so were the salsas. I had to bath my food in salt and lemon to get any flavor.
I paid 33$ for four small tacos and a sprite. Pretty ridiculous. I’ll be going to el Rey del taco moving forward.
Happy to give them another chance but I’d have to get some type of resolution.
Chairs are pretty hard too and it’s a tight squeeze inside the place.

I have only been once, and my first experience was a good one. I tried three different varieties of tacos, and I enjoyed the Al Pastor ones the most. The selection of sauces that accompanied my order where a fun and tasty touch.

My server was super attentive and friendly!

I’ll be back to try some more offerings.
