    Really good tacos! And their guacamole and queso is perfect. We sat outside and received excellent service. We will return.

    This is in a great plaza in the heart of Atlanta! There's much to see in the area. Came here on a whim with a Freind after showing her the area. We were greeted and we chose to sit at the bar. Our drink order was taken swiftly and food order next. The food itself was good. I wouldn't say it's the best food I've had but it wasn't terrible. The churro's were smaller then expected but good when fresh. When they cooked down after 5 minutes they were not the best. Their drinks were great, i ordered a horchata with added alcohol. I think it's gave it a good buzz. There's outside seating and indoor seating. The ambiance is inviting and relaxing.

    Visited this restaurant from out of town. Had an amazing meal outside on the patio! Very flavorful salsa, guac and tacos! My elote was also yummy, just could have used a bit more spice (I like spicy)! Our server was very attentive and helpful guiding through the menu options. Would definitely return here on our next Atlanta visits

    Stopped in for a quick shot at bar after volunteering at a 5K race in the area! Service was quick and easy at the bar! I did feel like the shot was over priced for the size of it. The restaurant was really busy so I definitely plan to return one day, to try the food, and update my review! See you soon Holy Taco!

    I went on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty. We got seated right away and our waiter was very helpful. The margaritas were good but it was an ice overload. The birria tacos was tasty and the portions were perfect we finished it all. The guacamole was was also really good.

    My food was delicious! This is my second time going to this restaurant. This time we went for Cinco de Mayo but the only thing about it is they didn't have any specials. Which is why I think we were able to get a seat there. There still were a good amount of people there. But all the other places were packed because of the deals and special so even though the food was amazing we still lost out on saving. We sat out on the patio area because they have a nice patio area. But it was kind of cool outside so I would have preferred to sit inside but the weight was like 30 minutes or something. And the later it got I think more people were coming. Our waiter was great he was cool laid back and funny. He made sure that we were well taken care of. I do recommend other people go here because this was my second time and the food was just as delicious as the first.

    A friend asked me to meet at Holy Taco as they thought I would enjoy the ambiance and food. We sat on the patio that evening. It was a cool fall evening. Ambiance was ok. Heaters (outdoor) would have been great for those dining on patio. I would rate a zero but not an option. 1) the tortillas ... I've had better. 2) the waitress need better people skills or maybe hers was selective with us. As I watched how she interacted with others. 3) ordered medium well salmon. I was brought rare salmon. She didn't attempt to fix it and kept saying no manager was on duty when I asked for more assistance. Obviously I ate the broccoli, but the salmon was inedible. I will not patronize this place again. First impressions can be lasting.

    Staff was friendly and food came out quickly. The food itself was very flat, bland nothing special about anything we ordered. The various hot sauces help to add flavour but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't good either

    While in Atlanta, I was staying near the East Village. My date was in the mood for tacos and she made a lovely choice. The atmosphere feels like a hole in the wall with the bar in the middle. There are tables and chairs outside to enjoy your tacos outside during a hot Atlanta day. What was more important to me was having a TV to watch my beloved Crimson Tide and that was taken care of with the 3 or 4 TVs they have. I ordered the Tres Amigos for an appetizer that ran for $12. The salsa was ok but thin. The queso was really creamy and had a buttery taste. The guacamole was what you would expect. I thought for $12, that was too expensive. I believe $7-8 would have been more appropriate. I ordered 3 tacos - skirt steak with cotija cheese, brisket with pickles carrots, and pork belly with roasted corn and garlic aioli. The pork belly was the best of the bunch and the steak was quite good too. The steak seemed like it needed some sort of sauce on it. The brisket was cooked fine but it needed something else like a BBQ sauce to go with it than pickled carrots. The tortilla for it was also cooked too long. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I would go to Holy Taco again. The pork belly taco was really good and so was the steak one. It is a little pricey though and the brisket taco was a letdown.

    Holy Taco is certainly an institution in EAV at this point, as they have been slinging tacos in this area for well over 10 years. While it has been in place for a hot minute, my most recent visit was my first. As one would imagine, they are most known for their tacos, but they do have a decently large menu that boasts other yummy items such as chicken sandwiches, wings, broccoli, desserts and of course the staples you are used to such as nachos, quesadillas, taquitos, fajitas, enchiladas, etc... We were a table of 5 adults and 2 kids, so naturally we kicked it off with a few appetizers. We landed on the Tres Amigos, which consists of their house salsa, chile con queso and guacamole. In addition, we ordered a plain queso. The salsa was your run of the mill, chilled red salsa and was enjoyed by most. The queso was a disappointment to a few of us as it was thin and just missing something. The chile con queso was equally disappointing for similar reasons. Even with the addition of the chorizo, it was still lacking in overall taste, and was equally as thin. However, the guacamole was the star of the table at this time. It was bright, chunky and seasoned perfectly! Most of the table ended up with tacos as their dinner, as one would expect. I personally got the Combo No. 1, which was (2) tacos and a side for $14. I am a fish taco fiend, so of course that was my first choice and I rounded it out with the pork belly. Sided both with the street style corn off the cob. The fish taco was decent. The fish was crispy, but not seasoned. The slaw carried that taco if I am honest and the sauce was thin and watery, which is weird for a mayo. The pork belly taco was stellar, as the pork belly was cooked to perfection. It was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The relish and aioli were the perfect addition to the pork! And finally the corn, I got it off the cob and I thought that would have taken away from the topping they smother it in, but it did not. I got all the goodness of street style mexican corn on the cob without the cob and I was pumped about it! In addition the tacos, my partner got the chicken nachos...and they turned out to the a massive miss. I am not sure if this was standard plating, but it was the laziest preparation of nachos we had ever gotten. Nachos here feature the standard queso, salsa/pico, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos plus your protein of choice. Sounds delish, right? While we got all those things, it was prepared with a layer of queso on the bottom, topped with a mound of chips and then all the "toppings" placed in small amounts on the rim of the bowl including leaf lettuce, not shredded and it was all topped with haphazardly pieces of chicken that were cut into a variety of sizes and shapes big enough to place on a sandwich. It was a bizarre and disappointing plate of nachos. Outside of the food, we washed it all down with a pitcher of house margaritas and they were super tasty! No complaints in the liquid part of our dinner! Service was solid with helpful and friendly servers. And the patio was great, we loved the large patio that featured covered and uncovered seating, and even a few tables that lined the sidewalk. Ordering is all you, as they have the Clover app/site that you use to place your order and pay. You simply choose what you want and place the table number in the field and then wait, but not long as they were pretty quick with all our orders from the drinks, to the apps and our dinners. Important note to remember though, make sure to put your table number in...if you do not, they assume its a pick up order so they prepare and bag it up and wait on you to come get it. Overall, Holy Taco is a cool spot that certainly fits the vibe of EAV. While we weren't blown away by things, we did enjoy ourselves and the atmosphere offered here. I could see us hitting the patio for another round of margaritas and guacamole!

    Having a little taco Tuesday date night with my kiddo. I ordered the chicken taquito meal - rice and beans are cold, taquitos have more cheese than meat. The kid ordered fries and a grilled chicken taco. He only liked the fries. The taco was wet. Ugh. The server was kind. The place has a grunge look. I won't go back. Too many awesome taco spots in Atl to settle.

    Food is pretty average and somewhat bland. Check out Argosy or other place in area for price point ‍ Nice patio and general vibe though. Everybody's cool and there's lights etc - but you know if the restaurant is empty on a Friday night, don't go.

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    Wanted to love it…read more The vibes are there, the staff is genuinely lovely, and there's real potential here, we just had a bit of an adventure getting through the meal. We had someone in our party with a gluten allergy, and our sweet server was doing his absolute best, bless. We were steered away from the tostadas as a starter due to gluten concerns, so we pivoted to guac...which then arrived with a gluten-free tostada. So the tostadas would have been totally fine! Then a good while after we'd all ordered, she was told her entrée had gluten and needed to be changed. She reordered, and almost immediately, the rest of the table's food came out. So we were left choosing between eating without her or letting everything go cold. And the plantains she'd reordered around, because she'd been told they couldn't be made gluten-free? Turns out they absolutely can be. Just miss after miss there. The spicy margarita was more of a margarita that once passed a jalapeño on the street. I asked for extra jalapeño juice and they were happy to help, but without the seeds and ribs it just couldn't deliver on the heat. I'd skip the margs next visit. This just wasn't quite the relaxed easy dinner we'd hoped for, and the price point feels like it's a step ahead of where the experience currently lands. But I'm rooting for them to get there!
