I thought this place was all hype, but I could honestly say, they have some good eats here. We came for a late lunch and I loved seeing everyone in their respective team's soccer jerseys. It's counter service, so you order from the counter, they will give you your drinks and chips before you get seated. I tried their aqua Fresca of the day, which was a hibiscus tea - it was super tangy at first sip but the ice watered it down to tame down the tartness. Their chips here are yummy. I love a good thin, crispy chip. I thought their guac was good, but not the best I've had. They also have a salsa bar and we tried most of them, but my favorite was the chipotle salsa. I ordered the arroz con pollo (roughly around $10) and was super filling. It had rice, beans, grilled chicken, kale and pickled veggies. I could only finish half of it, so now I get to enjoy the other half for my lunch tomorrow. My husband got the half bird plate that he demolished. One thing to note here is service. Everyone was super friendly and approachable.
I was meeting a friend for lunch and she suggested this place. She gave me two locations to choose from and I chose this one on Piedmont. It is a very cute restaurant. You order at the counter upon entry and take a sign to your table that's the staff uses to deliver you the correct food. I had the superica salad and it was delicious. I also tried my friend's chips and queso, and that was also good. The one downside is that it was steaming hot inside. Because of how hot it was, I ordered an aqua Fresca, which is their hibiscus lemonade. It was delicious and not too sweet. While we were dining, we were asked to move tables so that they could work on the air conditioning which required them to enter the ceiling above where we were originally seated. They wanted so badly to comp something for us for the inconvenience of moving tables, so we eventually settled on ice cream. The ice cream was a Dulcè de Leche flavor, which I didn't love. The bathrooms are outside the main entrance, and require a code for entry. You have to get the code from the staff. Overall, this was a good experience and I would go back.
I really enjoyed the one taco I ordered here. I got the steak taco and honestly if you could buy them in a combo or trio I would have loved that. Got 1 chicken taco for my daughter with a drink for her and my taco and a frozen margarita which was great but at almost 40 dollars uhg. Going out to eat anymore is a drag cause everything is so dang expensive. At least we enjoyed the food.
I love Little Rey, I frequent here pretty often! The tacos are made in the restaurant which I love, the food is always delicious, and they have a lot of options to choose from on the menu! The staff is very friendly, and if you choose to dine in they give you a fun little card to put up at your table and they bring your order to you. Other than that, the rest is mostly self-service. The interior is very cute, with hanging plants and plenty of seating options, indoor and outdoor. If you like spicy tacos, I highly recommend the shrimp diablo tacos (#9)!! The grapefruit margarita and frozen margarita are also really good, I prefer the grapefruit one, but the frozen marg is great for the summer. Overall, 10/10 I definitely recommend coming here!!
Was celebrating a friends birthday this evening and we decided to stop at Little Rey's for a bite to eat and a refreshing margarita. A couple of takeaways: The food is very fresh and the ingredients hold a lot of flavor. I believe they make their tortillas in house, which makes the tacos that much much better! I did enjoy the margarita, however, it is not me to order as they are premade. For it to be a premade margarita it is very tasty (and kind of strong lol) but I always would prefer something made fresh to order. If you are like me, I would say still give it a shot. If you don't mind premade margaritas, this is probably one of the best that I've ever had. We went on a Saturday evening and it was very crowded. There was very little parking so it was quite the struggle.. So, keep that in mind if you're going on a busy day/night and with a group of people like we did. You order when you walk in and then you find your table. with that in mind, there was a very long line and they only had two registers/2 people taking orders. I would definitely say despite it being crowded, the wait was worth it. There were a moderate amount of inside and outside.I love the aesthetic of the restaurant as it is very appealing and clean! I would definitely go back to Little Rey but will likely avoid a day that has high volume/traffic (which will likely be on a weekend)
The food tasted good but the prices are much higher than what they should be. Paying $6 - $7 per taco is ridiculous especially when you do not get chips and salsa. You order at the counter and they give you a card to place at your table. They will then bring your food to your table. They have a salsa bar for you to grab your own cutlery, napkins, and sauces. I got the El Diablo, Al Carbon, and Chicken Quesadilla. The El Diablo is a shrimp taco with their hottest sauce and jalapenos. It is not that hot but it tastes great. The Al Carbon is a basic taco but it is cook to order. The Chicken Quesadilla is pretty basic but it tastes great.
Visited with a coworker while on a work training. She visited several years back and enjoyed it. It was our first meal while in Atlanta. We both opted for a small chips and queso. They accidentally rang us up as a large and a small, which we didn't notice and the manager visited our table to apologize and refund the difference. We had no idea and told him as much and to his credit he said, we noticed, we were wrong and we need to make it right. So props for that. I ordered the Aroz con pollo, which I will admit I didn't realize would be a salad as it normally isn't, but I didn't look closely at the menu when ordering. I also ordered two locals drafts. The place was extremely clean and neat. You order at a counter and then find a seat. It's at a weird intersection so if you Uber, make sure they know where they are going. It was a decent experience and I would go again next year.
Run don't walk!! This place will knock your socks off!! I really enjoyed these specialty tacos and breakfast. The pancakes with a touch of salt really take it up a notch! The service is amazing! Ambiance is great. Keep in mind l, this is TEX-MEX. Not traditional Mexican food. But boy to they do it right!
We came here on a Sunday morning a little after 9am and there wasn't a huge crowd but by the time we were leaving, there was a long line out of the door. They do have a lot of seating though so there shouldn't be a problem to get in. Definitely know what you want before you go because you have to order at a counter when you walk in and they will deliver it to your table. I had the bacon taco and the breakfast chalupa. Both were very simple dishes; however, they were both so tasty and flavorful. We did get some of the sauces they had to add to your food and the verde was my favorite. When I have a bigger appetite I definitely want to come back and try more items on the menu.
WOW!! I've been wanting to try Little Rey for a while and this did not disappoint. I came with some friends on a Saturday morning for brunch. Parking is a little tough but luckily there's an overflow lot next door behind the Starbucks. We parked there and walked over and had a small line (about 15 min). I love a fast casual restuarant so we placed our orders, got our drinks and then sat down with our table numbers. My friend and I split a cafe de olla (iced latte + horchata) and it was SO good!! Reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk and was just the right level of sweet. For my main, I got a chorizo breakfast taco and a chicken al carbon taco. I also split an order of the hotcakes. The tacos were SO good and definitely lived up the hype!! But my favorite actually had to be the hotcakes. Wow, these were so yummy and the syrup it came with was basically like a dulce de leche!! I loved the caramelly goodness. Overall, great experience and want to go back for lunch/dinner soon!

Little Rey is so stankin cute. It has a modern industrial design with pops of eclectic color. Their menu has so many amazing sounding dishes but I came just wanting some tacos. You order at the counter and find a table. I got the steak and chicken tacos, and side of chips and guac. Food came out quickly and I loved the steak taco. The meat was tender, flavorful, and it had a bit of delicious smokiness to it. They also have a salsa bar where you must try their green and red salsas. I was a huge fan and it's worth the hype for sureee. read more
I was in the area and decided to visit this gem because someone on Instagram posted them. The steak taco is so delicious and tender. The chicken (you can taste the smoke) they have many options of other items I will most definitely be back to try. The cilantro rice is so good and the beans and delicious. They have options of alcoholic drinks or non alcoholic. You get a selection for your sauces. The service was great and not a long wait. The ambiance was family friendly and nice. read more

Little Rey usually does good for me but today the special, fish taco, really disappointed me. There was one very small, thin piece of fish on my taco and lots of fixings. I think they tried to cover it up. This picture is after two bites. I hate wasting money and this taco makes me feel like I did. read more

The food here was mediocre at best. My bill came out to 40-50 dollars for come cold tacos. I was really disappointed because just like Superica, this place came highly recommended. The service was pretty good, but the failure was the taco here. I looked the salsa bar but I'm just at a loss for words for the taco itself. The ambience was chill but can't say I will be back unless the tacos will be hot and fresh. read more
If we weren't with locals, I might have missed this. It seems to be in a business park and on a Sunday eve, it was pretty quiet until we got to Little Rey's. There was a lot of traffic there! A line when we arrived but it moves pretty quickly. You order at the counter and they bring the food to the table for you. We got chips and queso, great start! They also have a salsa bar and lots of fun options there. I order the Al Carbon Chicken Taco, with Guacamole. I know a chicken taco sounds pretty common, but there is nothing common about this one! That chicken Al Carbon is so tender and full of flavor! A really great taco! I think they are known for their Al Carbon items so definitely try that out. I also had the Diablo Shrimp taco. (reminder Diablo .....hot). It was pretty spicy but very good. We were traveling with a toddler who got the Quesadilla, which I got to admit looked very good also. I understand why this is so popular, plug it in your Map App and find your way! read more
Outstanding food, great drinks and the best vibe in Atlanta. Be prepared to wait in a line, but it's worth it Tried the pollo and steak carbon. The quesadilla. And the amazing ranch beans with chorizo. All excellent and the prices are outstanding. This is a must hit restaurant. read more

This place was well recommended by a few friends at Station 9 - AFD!!! We had the pork belly tacos, chicken tacos and the aroz con pollo bowl. I can't stress enough how the meat was seasoned sooo well! This brought me back to my childhood memories of living in California with street tacos. Soooo delish!! The tortilla chips are always nice and hot - get the guacamole..there's salsa (taste them all) my favorite was the jalapeños ranch. It changed my life!! Whenever you're in the city..get here early!! Their tacos will bring all the girls to the yard!!! read more

This place was yummy but it a bit on the pricey side. The carnitas taco was $5.75, where most other places it'd be $3.50 or so. The chicken quesadilla was a better value - it was also $5.75 and was more filling. Their queso is good! It's got a thicker consistency and comes with a generous mound of chips There's a good amount of seating inside and is a good spot for a casual date night. It feels lively but not too loud and you order at the register so it can be easy to avoid the awkward situation when a waiter assumes that everything is on one check. Decent amount of parking available, but it can run out. read more

Yummy! Really good prices and really good food. Was in town for a conference and met up with my friends. Love the fact that there is AMPLE parking here, which is Pretty non existent in this area. Very causal, and there's a pet friendly patio. My big dog was along for the ride. They had a water bowl for him. Service was pretty quick, and they out the heaters on for us since it was a bit chilly. The prices are very reasonable, and you get a portioned size amount. (I do wish the portions were bigger. I was starving!) pretty yummy beer menu and some great non alcoholic drinks as well. The inside is pretty cute too, with different types of seating throughout. Def recommend! read more

Now I get why everyone loves Little Rey's, it met expectations! Food - We went for breakfast and had some breakfast tacos (Steak & potatoes) and also the Avocado Tostada. The tortillas are made fresh and you can tell. I would order the tacos and tostadas again! Service - It's a walk up and order then they deliver your food to the table. Our experience was great. While your food is being prepared it's a great spot for catching up and enjoying their iced coffee! Ambiance- Cuteeeeeee! They did a great job making the place so inviting and open for such a busy place. Restrooms - Clean, pretty cute, and definitely selfie-able. A must try! read more
This is one of my favorite easy restaurants in Atlanta! Everything is literally so good and flavorful! The salad is insane - I am obsessed with the dressing!! And the chicken melts in your mouth. This restaurant is such a fun vibe for an easy dinner and margs. The margs are great! Parking kind of is a mess, but there is overflow in the back. read more
I said I would come back for the hotcakes and I'm so glad I did! I went with a group of 4 for brunch at 1:15 pm on Saturday, 7/22/23. There was a line but it moved pretty quickly! I got the Steak Breakfast Taco ($5.50) and the Potato Breakfast Taco ($3.25). The steak taco was great. I wasn't a huge fan of the potato taco though. Between the 4 of us, we split 2 orders of 'Little' Superica Hotcakes ($5.50). The hype is totally justified! The syrup tasted like the top of a crème brûlée. It was sooo good. We also got the Queso Primo ($11) to share. It was good, but that was too much food. We were good with 1-2 tacos each and 2 orders of the hotcakes. I also got a large Rio Red Margarita on the rocks ($12). It was good! Little Rey has great food for any meal. Don't sleep on the hotcakes! read more

Oh. My. God. I totally get it--those tacos are amazing! I actually came back three times during my stay in Atlanta too. You really can't go wrong here. And that queso? Hands down the best I've ever had--no contest. The ambiance is pretty casual and lively, especially with families and kids around. If you're looking for a quieter spot, I'd recommend sitting on the patio, perfect for a date night or just a chill evening. The service can be a bit slow, but honestly, it's just because they have so many customers, and it's totally worth the wait. Just plan a little extra time for your visit. Pros - Cute establishment, warm during cold nights, delicious chicken, tacos and queso. Must I say more? Cons - longer wait times, very limited parking read more

Do they have cilantro on the salsa bar?
Do they sell Margs when they open for breakfast? (Don't just get me 😂)
Not right at 9AM when they open - I think they start selling alcohol at 10AM or 11AM.
Do they still have the Salsa bar during COVID-19? Is it available for takeout?
Yes but it was in individual containers.
