Barbacoa taco plate
Robert L.

First of all people this is a Tex-Mex restaurant so stop complaining it's not traditional Mexican food. Found it by accident while driving through Kirkwood, the other day looking for a place to eat. I have to say these were the best tacos I have had for a long time! Service was great although it was midday and slow don't know what it's like on a busy night. I got barbacoa tacos. Marinated beef was delicious, the refried beans were perfectly seasoned to my taste. Rice was a tad bit spicy, but I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to heat. And they fried the corn tortillas perfectly. Yes, it cost $16 for a two taco meal, but that is the going rate nowadays whether you like it or not. If it's too costly, go take your chances at Taco Bell.

Veggie Green Burrito vegan style
Kandus J.

Lovely little Mexican spot in Atlanta! Perfect for meat eaters & vegetarians! They have vegan queso as well! The flavor is jam packed & they have a ton of amazing options! The service is usually pretty great for the most part. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

My stacked enchiladas were okay, I think other dishes are more worth trying like the flautas. I would definitely come back for their margaritas. I got the myriachi marg ($8), which was strong in their tequila but tasted great overall. All of their margs r under $10~. Parking is super easy in their private lot around the restaurant. Service was nice and attentive, especially for our large party.

*Mom Tacos (3)
Daryl O.

I don't even know how to say the name of the place but my friend that lives in the area suggested we stop by since they were new to the taco game so he wanted to give it a try. It doesn't strike me as a Mexican restaurant. It gave more of a dive bar type vibe but there's nothing wrong with that. I tried the Momma's Tacos, their beef tacos and loved that they offered a choice between soft and hard shells. I went with the soft shells and the beef was flavorful seasoned just right and hit the spot. The rice wasn't very tasty. I am not a beans person so I can't comment on it. But let's talk about the real star of the show: the crab queso dip. It's absolutely amazing. It was rich, creamy, and packed with chunks of crab. It's worth a trip just for that alone. The service was great, too. Our waiter was attentive and consistent, keeping our drinks refilled without us even having to ask. This might seem minor but I appreciated it. Everything was reasonably priced so you won't break the bank here. Just for the sake of the crab queso. I'll be back for sure!

Pineapple Margarita with chips and salsa!
Ahmad W.

I'm nearby in the area. I recently moved to the neighborhood. I went out on 5/30 one day after my bday to check out the scene at this restaurant and the actual vibe. I went around 8:39 the rush just passed and the waitress told me that they were out of the mango so I opted to try the pineapple mango frozen. It is delicious with actual fruit pieces in it. I also just got a order of chips and salsa.I got something light I ate food earlier.My sister gave me some news prior about one of our cousins passing away another reason I went to grab a drink. One of the servers brought me my food name Boone. My waitress took care of me I didn't get her name though I sat at the bar. I told my bro about this place also.

Passion fruit margarita and a Texas margarita
M T.

I came for the mariyachi!!! It is STRONG and reasonably priced at $8! I came here for it and i was satisfied! The tacos were good and the food was reasonably priced. The service was ok. And the ambiance was family oriented and chill. Plenty of parking and it's FREE

Passion fruit margaritas
Liv J.

The ambiance was incredible. I came in on a Friday afternoon after work. The place wasn't packed yet. Then an hour later it was packed and they blocked the streets for the wine ride event. It was awesome to see despite the trouble for others to find parking because the roads were blocked off. The service was awesome. Great people and great crowd. I am so happy I came before the rush.

Vegan Chimichanga with Pinto Beans
Kina R.

I was very impressed by the plant-based/vegan chimichunga. I never had one before and this was a good first try. I loved the spice level and the flavors were there! I'm happy to know they had plenty of vegan options. I wasn't a fan of their cocktail menu. I had a colada type of drink, which wasn't the best. The staff was nice and inviting. I love the option to be in an enclosure or patio space. I will definitely be back.

Bar
Erica K.

Elmyriachi serves up amazing food and strong drinks, making it a solid spot for a great meal. Definitely kid friendly environment and casual ambiance as the restaurant had tons of children eating with their families. I ordered the tofu chimichanga, and it was absolutely deliciou flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also tried the Myriachi drink, which had a strong pour and was just as tasty. I sat at the bar, and while my waitress was polite, she was pretty indifferent. That wasn't a big deal until I ran into an unexpected issue--Elmyriachi does not accept tap-to-pay in any form. I only carry my phone especially to such a casual eatery, so I was caught off guard when I saw the small sign halfway through my meal. When I explained my situation, my waitress showed no concern and didn't even check on me afterward. She actually didn't make eye contact with me again until I paid the bill. I ended up asking the couple next to me to cover my meal and Zelle-ing them double the amount, which put a damper on an otherwise great experience. My only real complaint is that this policy needs to be clearly stated on their website and at the entrance. If you go, bring a physical card or cash. Otherwise, the food and drinks are worth it. Seems like a fun CinconDe Mayo spot.

Refried beans and corn

Food is tasteless. Refried beans taste like they were left open in the can for 3 days and they attempted to add a shredded cheese single. Corn taste like green giant canned corn.

I visited the Delilah's location in South Downtown Atlanta and was blown away by THE best fried…read morechicken that I've ever had. I love fried chicken (who doesn't?) but typically find other breading to be bland and oily and I usually pull it off to get to the juicy meat...but not at Delilah's. It was the perfect combination of crunchy and flavorful and I was sure to gobble up any small bit that fell on my plate. The collard greens are also incredible. Not too salty not too saturated. Just perfect. I think I'm going to order a take home portion for holiday dinners at home because I can't make them better than this! The service and personal experience was off the charts and exactly what southern hospitality is all about. My husband and I chatted with Jason, the owner, during our entire meal and learned so many cool things about their family and Delilah's story. I will be going back again and again and again. Definitely plan to take out of towners that are eager to find good authentic soul food.

The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately, that was the highlight of our visit. The food was…read moreoverpriced for the quality, and everything we ordered was fried excessively hard. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our hostess seemed completely disorganized, repeatedly forgot parts of our order, and somehow ended up charging me for both my meal and someone else's. The lack of attention and organization was frustrating, especially considering the prices. This restaurant has potential, but management really needs to take a closer look at staffing, training, and overall customer service. With better leadership and more attentive employees, I believe the experience could improve significantly. I might consider giving it another chance, but based on this visit, I can't say it was worth the money. I expected much better.

Buttermilk Kitchen is exactly what you would imagine a restaurant would be like if your Southern…read moregrandmother knew how to operate a restaurant. SO good. Great grits. Great omelettes. Great biscuits. Just great overall. The dishes served are all elevated Southern fare. Just a warning it is so popular that parking is very difficult to find and if you like a quiet place to eat this is not it. FOOD: REALLY excellent. I was so impressed. I need to come back. Just from what they served I had to get extra and bring it with me on the plane. While eating there, I had the pimento omelet which was beautifully balanced and flavorful. The biscuit was a bit hard on the outside but so pillowy on the inside. I also got the fried green tomatoes which was beautiful to eat. I took home the fried chicken sandwich and it was so delicious. I'm sure everyone else on the plane was jealous. SERVICE: Super friendly and the setting was great. I'm sure it is an old, converted house made into a restaurant. Tables everywhere and all of them full. It's a bit noisy so if you like it quiet, you won't find that here. But the service is excellent, the portions are huge, and the setting is homey. COST: Definitely above average but worth every penny. For what you get it's so good. Could you find a cheaper breakfast? Sure. But you get what you pay for and you you get something great.

I came earlier this year for the first time and had the warmest waitress, Lindsey. She was so…read morepleasant and friendly. She even told me that I couldn't leave without trying a biscuit and brought one complimentary. I would give that experience a 5 and I would give my last experience a 3 but let's just do an average. That's how I got four stars. This time, the service felt very different. Our waitress, Nekale, had a pleasant voice and was a beautiful woman, but she lacked warmth or friendliness. She definitely had the RBF going on. It felt like when someone says "I love you" with a stern face. Maybe something happened that day and she had an attitude, but if that's the case, don't interface with people on the floor. The girl brought lukewarm coffee, and my mom had to ask for fresh coffee. I was a little embarrassed because it was my mom's first time there and the service was blah. My mom said her grits were lukewarm, and so were my potatoes. She did not want to send them back because she was hungry, so she just ate them and did not say anything to me until she was almost done. Everything came out at a great time, and the presentation was amazing. It all looked very delicious. However, when I bit into my chicken biscuit, I got a lot of grease. In addition, I had asked if everything was an even swap, and she said yes, but when I paid, I saw an upcharge for my potatoes. All in all, I was very disappointed that the service was not as great as I experienced the first time. I was also disappointed that my food wasn't amazing. That said, I will still be back at some point.

WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

The food definitely tastes homemade, and everything arrives hot and fresh. I've visited twice now,…read moreand the quality has been consistent both times. Their breads and jams are particularly delicious, but my absolute favorite--and the most pleasant surprise--was the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese. They were incredible! For my entrees, I've tried the blue crab quiche and the frittata. Both were decent, though the crab quiche could have used a bit more flavor. My guests really enjoyed their orders, including the Springer Mountain chicken, Nashville bites, and the farm egg hash. Overall, it's a solid spot--clean and modern, with great baked goods and reliable service. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by Naee who informed us that we can sit anywhere we choose. Soon after we sat, we ordered. Hubby ordered a 2 piece white w baked beans and greens I ordered 2 piece dark w baked beans and fries. 2 fresh brewed sweet teas please !! There was a short wait. Roughly 20 minutes. I didn't mind. I knew the food was cooked to order. I enjoyed watching horse racing on their TV, and people watching. The dining area is spacious, and clean. As soon as our food was up, it was on! The chicken was so fresh, tender, and well seasoned. I love the spiciness level. The baked beans were ok. A lot of flavor, a little sweet. The greens were great! I loved the flavor and consistency. The fries were pretty great too! Fresh and crispy. We enjoyed so much that we were planning our next visit, while sitting there eating during this visit !! Lol The sweet tea was good. I added a little water to it. I would certainly order again. I snatched a slice of fresh baked sweet potato pie to eat later. Later came, it was good straight out the fridge, great heated up. In true saving the best for last spirit, NAEE !! She was amazing from beginning to end. Sweet, personable, and consistent. She answered all of our initial menu questions, checked on us at the perfect times and made sure we didn't want for anything. This place is a must visit! You will not be disappointed.
