Don't mind the lid imprint.  These rice and beans are moist, flavorful, and cheesy every time.
Gretchen S.

I have to show love to El Taco Veloz. I only started going to this original location last month, but I've been here several times already. They are that good! I've tried the chicken, barbacoa, and pork tacos - all of which the meats seem to be marinated and seasoned perfectly, cooked to perfection every time. No stringy fat or gristle in the barbacoa like I experienced from the Chamblee Dunwoody location before. All of the meats here are tender and lean from what I've experienced so far. If there is any fat in the tacos here, it is cooked like it should be, so it melts like butter! And they are not skimpy like some establishments - they pack the tacos full! I can get tacos at 9 AM here for breakfast, and the lines move faster than any other fast food in the area, I can promise you that! I've never stepped inside the little shack yet but haven't needed to with the convenient drive thru. They will answer in Spanish first, but they speak English here also without any barriers. As someone who can understand some level of Spanish but cannot converse back fluently or smoothly as well, this is always a benefit. The rice and beans are also a great side here. They come together in a cup, and if they are canned, you can't readily tell like some places. The rice and beans with cheese taste fresh and are moist and flavorful, not dried out. This location has provided excellent, fast drive-thru service and consistently tasty and affordable food. I'm not sure if they do birria quesa tacos here, so I might have to keep going to El Indio for those, but for all my other taco cravings I'll keep coming back here for awhile.

Burrito
Tim K.

Absolutely loved it. Not the fanciest place in town but often times some of the best meals come from such places. This is no exception. Stopped in for lunch with a colleague and we both ordered a beef burrito. It was loaded with beef and cooked spot on. The accompanying sauce was a perfect touch. Many kudos to the sweet tea!

El Taco Veloz drive thu.  Buford Highway is in front of the car that is currently at the drive thru window.

All of those times over the years that I've driven by this El Taco Veloz but had no clue it was even there! I finally found it today at lunch time, and was happy about it! This location has a drive thru window, is old and small, has a covered outdoor patio, no indoor seating, and very limited parking spaces in its free lot. The employees provide very fast service. The overwhelming number of customers use the drive thru just because the service IS fast. Just be aware that the menu is not as varied as the other El Taco Veloz locations. My favorite item on the menu (at other locations) are the flautas, but, when I asked about ordering flautas after not seeing them on the menu, the voice in the speaker told me that they don't make them at this location. Instead, I went with my fall back choice - a regular carnitas burrito with cilantro, onions and a little cup of the spicy green sauce. No one was behind me in the drive thru line, and I had to wait for maybe 2 minutes for my burrito and green sauce. While I waited, I had a chance to see just how small this location is. There is a walk up window inside where employees take customers' orders, and the area for customers to stand and wait for their orders is small. Customers can then eat their food in the fenced, covered patio. Today, I chose to make a u-turn after getting my food, and parked in one of El Taco Veloz's spaces. The burrito was nice sized, in spite of not having rice or beans or other burrito fillers. The carnitas burrito was good. I just wish that the carnitas was more flavorful. Don't get me wrong; the meat had flavor, but I'm used to tasting a stronger flavor when it comes to carnitas. The green sauce kicked up the spiciness a couple of notches, and I loved it. One suggestion to make your drive thru experience more enjoyable: Don't enter the drive thru from Buford Highway; instead, enter the drive thru line from Shallowford Road, and then leave via Buford Highway after getting your order.

Burrito especial
Sarah H.

Drive thru authentic food?! Yes please! I saw this place on Yelp previously and decided to try them out since I was in the area and was a little short on time. It's a small building with inside seating and because of the cold weather they do have tarp up. You drive to the side of the building where the menu is located. Unfortunately there aren't many vegetarian options. I settled on the burrito especial with no meat which was $6.21. I drove to the window got my food within a couple minutes. Once I got home I ate my burrito and it was pretty good. They also gave me a green salsa which was slightly spicy. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their other options.

It was a wet rainy night when we stumbled upon a color taco lounge sign. Lightning striked right…read morebefore I entered the dark and colorful hallway to this hidden gym. Late at night. Only to be greeted by the owner who was an excellent host. The title says it all. TACO LOUNGE! Because the tacos are delicious. As the gen Z would say- fire. They slay. They are serving taste! The guac is fresh. With chips that don't break every time I take a scoop. The tortillas are corn only and from what I can tell- made in house. The drinks are hand crafted from fresh juices! Apparently they have drag shows on Friday! They do have a moderate sized stage area for a restaurant. Def tons of potential here for this restaurant to do big things!

Predicting it now, El Alebrije is about to be all over your favorite Atlanta foodie's IG. Here's…read morewhy: First off, six (6) gargantuan made-to-order tacos in the main taco entree. But not 6 street tacos, 6 meals. I got the suadero, asada, and chorizo which were all phenomenal! My friends also added cheese, which comes quesadillas style, which I will certainly go for next time, as it looked amazing (see pic). Yes, the flavorful corn tortillas are handmade per order, so it takes around 15 minutes to get your plate. But it is worth it, considering only 1 of 4 in our party could conquer all 6 without taking a couple tacos home for a second meal. The drinks though!! We had a round of house margaritas, with an agave topper. Best I've had to be honest. I also had a tamarind michelada, which was so good I'll come back on a live band night for this weekly. Pro tip: the entrance is to the right side of the big steak house. Don't let the Speakeasy style entrance fool you, once you go down the long walkway, it opens up with beautiful lighting, a VIP area, a small dance floor, and a great sound stage for live Latin music and DJs. With the plethora of authentic choices on Buford Hwy, El Alebrije manages to stand out and the serving size and quality drinks will keep me coming back. Highest recommendation!

I came here with my Colombian friend that helped me pick the best options so I could get a variety of items that she rated top notch. I love hotdogs and had to get the Colombian version of one. It's one of the most unique hotdogs I've ever had. It's topped off with garlic sauce, pink sauce, pineapple marmalade, crushed chips, mozzarella, and a boiled quail egg. Omg it's one of the BEST I've ever had! I died and went to culinary heaven. Trust me get one! We also ordered the empanadas, which were just as good. Among the other items we ordered we got a cheese and ham arepa, as well as the bandeja paisa. No complaints here but just praises as the food was savory and scrumptious! They do have a full bar with a variety of drinks to choose from as well as Colombian beers. I was too full to indulge on the desserts but the dessert bar was esthetically pleasing and smelled incredible! The service is great, very attentive. The restaurant gave a homey and cozy vibes. Dress code is casual. They do have complimentary parking. I am definitely coming back to enjoy and try more of the exotic plates they offer. It's not often you see Colombian cuisine, worth a visit!
