Started strong with good chips and salsa! The margarita was good and they threw a little Halloween spirit into it with a plastic spider on top. Food was good across the board. The Carne Asada had good flavor, the cheese enchilada was good and the beans and rice were tasty. My wife really enjoyed her fajitas too. read more

Ordered a quick dinner from El Solecito and hate that I hadn't checked this spot out sooner. Located in Mableton, I swear I've passed this place dozens of times and never thought to stop. ...Until I hopped on Yelp looking for Mexican food. I decided I wanted to try a new place and recognized some of my fellow Elites in the glowing reviews, which sealed the deal. The ordering process online was incredibly smooth. The restaurant was pretty busy when we picked up but just as easy as ordering was. The menu is extensive and detailed, with traditional Mexican dishes and some twists. We kept it really simple, opting for chicken + steak tacos, a chicken tostada, guac and the Pollo loco. The guac was chunky and portioned well, but could have used just a tadddd more salt. There were 3 different sauces included and they kicked it back up a notch. The tostada was delicioussss! The tortilla and lettuce provided the perfect crunch with the flavorful chicken - delicious. My bf enjoyed the tacos, maybe not life-changing, but they were enjoyed. I didn't eat the pollo loco until the next day and it was tasty. Super basic dish, no frills, but for whatever reason, the idea of chicken, cheese and rice appealed to me when I was ordering, lol. A solid experience over all, I will definitely be going back! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at El Solecito. While sitting at the bar eating, I saw a live cockroach crawling right next to my plate. I had to kill it myself, which was extremely unsettling, especially while in the middle of a meal. I informed the server immediately, but their reaction was concerning. They did not seem surprised or particularly bothered, which made it feel like this may not have been the first time something like this happened. That response made the situation even worse. Cleanliness is a basic expectation for any restaurant, and this experience completely ruined my meal. I cannot recommend this place based on what I experienced. read more

Solid Mexican joint. Or server was friendly, but our food did take over an hour to come out so don't plan on this being a quick trip. The margaritas come out pretty quick and definitely pack a punch! read more

When you walk into a Mexican spot and you're the only one of non Spanish descent, chances are you're in for some awesome AUTHENTIC Mexican food lol. - This place does not disappoint!

So far, so let me start by saying Mojito's Mojito's Mojito. I got mango Mojitos, peach, Mojitos, and strawberry Mojito's, and they were made like they were Mojitos. There was an option for spicy sauce and regular salsa and they both were delicious. if you don't like spicy, don't get a spicy salsa because a small amount goes a long way. The shrimp fajitas or amazing they came with a side of rice and beans and sour cream, lettuce, and pico. the Texas fajitas came as usual with steak, chicken and shrimp, but they allow for a substitution of chorizo for a steak. the Chiefs. It was good with jalapeños. The waiter was amazing and very attentive, and the ambience was great. the food was reasonably priced and had all of the Flavors that you need. read more

Out for a quick lunch. We were seated quickly despite the place being almost packed. I ordered the beef chimichanga with no beans and a pineapple water. I asked for ground beef and got chopped up steak. It was flavored well but I didn't like the knife cuts as the beef was more chunk than ground. The rice was great and the green sauce had a kick but was flavorful. Worth a try if you're in the area. read more

The food was SOOOOOO freaking good!!!! I was in the area and wanted a margarita...found this little gem. Fresh chips, fresh salsa, fresh guacamole. Excellent service. The food made to order and it came out fast. It was flavorful and the portions were perfect. The cook brought us out some diablo sauce and the heat was fire but it was delicious and added yet another layer of flavor to my meal. This is definitely worth a revisit, or 2 or 3 so if you are in the area try it. read more

Good old tasting Mexican food. Good service, don't Be in a hurry good food Takes time not Taco Bell lol. read more

Great food - tons of variety. The service is always friendly and timely. Highly recommended!

Had dinner with my cousin and friend here last night. It's your typical Mexican eatery. No major bells or whistles happening, which to me, is a good sign...means the focus is in the food. There's a small parking lot in the front or the restaurant but additional parking is available in a lot next door. Service was kinda slow, but since we were running our mouths it was ok. I ordered the shredded chicken chimichanga, which came with Mexican rice, retried beans, lettuce and pico. The chicken was very well seasoned. The rice was a little bland and dried out but still edible. To drink I had the pina Aqua Fresca. Soooo good. My cousin and friend both had the chicken fajita quesadilla and said it was delicious. This place is located in Mableton, so if you're in that area def worth checking out. If I lived closer, I'd prob be a regular. Lol! read more

I was craving Huevos Rancheros and found this place on yelp. The whole family loved everything. The food was authentic and delicious and this is our new go to Mexican spot. I can't wait to come back already. Authentic, clean, and delicious. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Definitely Worth a visit or three. Always flavorful. An Austell favorite.

First time visit, food was very good large portions, good frozen Margaritas, salsa and guacamole. I had Spinach Enchiladas they were excellent. Today was Cinco de Mayo, servers had on Tshirts for the Holiday and the crowd was growing, other area places were packed. Glad we tried El Solecito Mexican Grill! Can't wait to return!! read more

This spot has quickly become my favorite Mexican Grille for Quesadillas! Both the Shrimp and Chicken Quesadillas are absolutely delicious and made to order. I didn't care for the guacamole because it was heavy on the cilantro and onions and lite on the avocado. Don't get distracted by the dive bar atmosphere. The food is good! There are a small number of parking spaces that are shared with a neighboring hair salon. I give this restaurant a solid A for quesadillas! read more

You know it's got to be a solid Mexican restaurant when you're the only patron here that isn't Mexican! We came here on a early Sunday afternoon and was able to grab a table right away. The atmosphere was festive with a live Mexican singer performing on the raised platform to the left of the entrance. The chips and salsa they served us shortly after were perfectly satisfying while we both hungrily scanned the menu. I landed on 3 tacos a la cart - carne asada, shrimp, and al pastor, with a horchata (Mexican spiced milk drink). My husband ordered steak fajita. We finished all the chips and salsa in no time and was promptly brought another round by the wait staff without having to ask. The horchata was very tasty and refreshing. I was tempted the order the larger size but am glad I didn't because it was somewhat filling. The tacos all had different flavors and were very good, especially when drizzled with the green sauce that came with them. The corn tortillas were fresh, light and tasty. They didn't fall apart like other ones I've had in the past. Just perfect. The al pastor taco was a bit more saucy than I expected but the flavor was fantastic! My husband's steak fajitas were equally as satisfying. He's had a lot of steak fajitas before but commented that this one was seasoned extremely well and flavorful. Over the course of the 45 mins we were there, the place went from having three tables to being completely filled up - and we now know why. We will definitely be back! I can't wait to try their churros next time! read more

We got take out of tacos with a side of rice and beans for girls night. -Tacos were delicious, my favorite was al pastor and fish. Asada was good too but it's a bit dry for me. -Lime, cilantro and onion were fresh which is always a plus! -Chips were crunchy but not too oily. - was moist, fits Mexican rice criteria. -Beans were very good! read more

Food was just ok. Sat at the bar and the bartender was great. They had 32 oz corona beer on draft that was nice

My fave neighborhood authentic Mexican restaurant! We go here often and I'm stuck in the carne asada and barbacoa tacos. One day I'll try something different but those are my go-to for taco Tuesdays read more

Food was bland. Tamale was dry. Waitress was nice and attentive but did not speak English. Difficult to communicate. Bar area was very loud. I did not feel that food was authentic as other reviewers had stated. Although margarita was strong and good, we won't be back due to food quality. More expensive than expected. read more

This place is quaint and a but hard to maneuver on a busy night. Parking is a bit limit, with a bit of a one way in and out situation. When you walk through the front door you are literally standing at someone's table. It's a bit uncomfortable because you're excusing yourself around the sitter guest to reach the register/kitchen entrance/ server Station. Regardless, the food is fresh and delish. I had queso con chorizo along with 4 tacos. Yes 4. 1 pastor, pollo, bistec y camarónes, all with tortillas de maíz, cebollas and cilantro. The verde sals is a bit spicy, but edible. The roja salsa is FIRE HOT! so proceed with caution. I definitely recommend giving this place a try next time you are in the area. Oh and the Horchata, is so good! read more

Good was not good and poorly put together. Waitress were reluctant to take my order and was expensive. Not worth it.

Loved the food! Went out with 3 friends to this location for my second time. I would say the only issue with this place is the limited parking and hit or miss staff. Our waitress this time looked to be very young. She did not check up on us but maybe once at the visit. I grabbed another employee to refill our water/chips/salsa more than 3 times because our waitress was no where to be found, which is odd considering how small the location is and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. However, the other lady was very helpful and the food was amazing. I will be visiting again! read more

We are here for the first time and it's a Saturday evening. I Iove that it's not crowded like many of the reviews reported. I ordered the $3 margarita, offered on Fridays & Saturdays, and am impressed. The guacamole is wonderful and obviously made fresh. I ordered the taco de filete (fish taco) and added rice and beans. Everything was delicious. I recommend this place. read more

This is a casual Mexican grille with a few TVs and a small bar area. I came with a group of 6. They offer unlimited chips and salsa which is nice but the food is pretty mediocre overall. Menu: Very extensive which contains taco salads, chimichangas, tacos, enchiladas and more. Pro of this is that it offers an item for anyone who is in the mood for Mexican. They also have a bar and serve cold beer. Food: I consider it fairly mediocre. Not the place to go to if you are searching for a cool place to go to with very fresh tastes. Bottom-Line: Service was good- we were quick to choosing what we wanted and didn't ask much from the staff. I would come here for random take out if I was having a rough time choosing what to get and did not mind settling and try a random menu item. read more

So first off I will say that my says these are the best al pastor tacos she's ever had, and we lived in California for 20+ years. Their mixed fajitas are also really good. Unfortunately on more than one occasion they have made mistakes on my orders which obviously is annoying at times depending on what the issue was, examples like missing whole parts of the meal, or putting sour cream all over an item that I now can't scrape off. I can (have to) deal with some of these things because the tacos are so great, but no where on the take out menu does it say that there is mandatory gratuity of 15% on orders over a certain amount, that amount I am still not sure of. Tacking $10 onto my order when no one served me seems a bit insane. I know some of you reading this love to tip for everything and anything at a restaurant, I personally don't want to give away $10 when all someone did was swipe my card and hand food to me. read more

The atmosphere is great, the menu was extensive and the food was really good. They had live music on the Friday night we were there. The musician had a great voice and could sing a wide selection in English and Spanish. I had the Asada burrito which I really liked. Not so thrilled about the Chile Relleno tacos. The pastor tacos were yummy! read more

Food is amazing. Best Mexican Restaurant in all of Cobb County. Great service and food comes out quickly and savory!

I had the seafood south and it was divine. My wife had the fajitas and they were also excellent. It's a small place with a small but well equipped bar. They have some decent tequila options, if that's your fancy. I had the Noble Oak Reposado, neat and found it quite enjoyable. We will certainly make another visit. read more

What a great surprise to discover this authentic Mexican place after church. The menu is complete with real dishes one doesn't find on the menus of more commercial Mexican restaurants in Atlanta. Everything is homemade and crafted with love. The staff made me feel like family. I had a breakfast option; so delicious! House-made tortillas were noteworthy. I cannot wait to return for more. read more
