I can't find these on the menu but they come with the quesadillas! All spicy are spicy but the avocado one is a cool savory sauce.
Sidéwon Andre N.

I've been on a bit of a Rreal Tacos kick lately thanks to a BOGO deal on Uber Eats, and after three orders in about two and a half weeks, it felt right to share a proper review. I usually go for the quesabirria, which is consistently solid, but the asada quesadillas deserve just as much attention. They're packed with generous, high-quality chunks of steak and melted cheese, and come with a trio of sauces that really elevate the meal. They're not clearly labeled on the menu, but one tastes like a creamy avocado-based sauce, another leans toward a deep red chipotle-style flavor, and the third is a burnt orange sauce with noticeable heat. All three are flavorful, but they definitely bring some spice. This last order, I also tried the tempura fish taco. I'll be honest--I'm usually hesitant with fish or even shrimp tacos because they tend to fall flat. This one surprised me. It's simple, but really well executed--light, fresh, and satisfying without being heavy. Overall, if you haven't tried Rreal Tacos yet, it's worth checking out. It's a newer addition to the Atlanta restaurant scene with a success story behind it, and it's clearly grown into a local favorite--you'll find locations all over the metro area now and far in the burbs.

Was looking for late night food in the Buckhead area and Rreal Tacos popped up. So glad I came by! It was very busy and lively on a Friday night but we were seated right away. Our server was pretty attentive despite how busy it was. Ordered fish tacos, guacamole, esquites, vegetarian tacos, a small quesadilla, and a tostada. Ordered a margarita for a drink. Most things were tasty, especially the guac and esquites. My least favorite was the tostada. It was so loaded, you couldn't eat it. Portions were good, and prices were great. You have hot sauces on the table already. It's a fun spot for sure!

This is my third time trying Rreal Tacos and in truth, it only happened again in a moment of desperation. I ordered 4 tacos of various meat types and my sister ordered 2 shrimp tacos among other accoutrements (beans, chips & salsas, sauce, etc.). These items were to go (pick up). When we cracked upon the package at home, all the tacos were crammed into one box (see one photo, minus one of the shrimp tacos my sister snagged while I emailed the restaurant. You will also note there is only 3, not 4 meat tacos.) Perhaps for a typical person packaging the items in the same clamshell wouldnt be a problem, but I have severe anaphylactic reactions to shellfish, meaning I can't consume it, my food cant be cooked on the same unclean surface as it and it and cant be served touching it. I was really frustrated as it was well past 10PM on a weeknight and I was hungry. Plus, there was no way to notate specific allergies on their site. But even further, shellfish is one of the major FDA allergens so its really basic food safety not to place them together. I called Rreal tacos four times that night and was hung up on every single time. Not sure if theres something up with their phone, but I couldn't get in touch with them. I also emailed the restaurant the same night and have not received a response. I just would like a solution as I was unable to eat any of the meal due to their poor food handling practices.

I though the coaster was cute ; )

I've never heard of the Rreal Tacos before so I guess you can tell that I'm new to the area. Once there, I overheard nearby customers raving about its popularity and specifically other locations. I love that this restaurant is located near my employer and there's parking readily available. I'd rather it not be paid parking and I forgot to ask whether or not they'll validate your ticket. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You can seat yourself at the bar, but you have to wait to be seated in the dining areas. I elected to sit the bar and try a couple of drinks since I was waiting on a friend, it didn't appear to be any wine available and it just didn't seem right to ask for a glass lol. It was a really chill and laid back environment. There was a bit of music playing which wasn't too loud and the Masters was being shown on the televisions. Overall, I loved how authentic and crispy the chips tasted. The pineapple drink and queso dip were a bit thick. I felt the queso dip should have had some a protein or jalapeños in it. The burrito bowl was delicious and of the three drinks I sampled, the strawberry margarita was by far my favorite. I plan on returning in the near future to try the nachos.

Love love love rreal tacos all of their locations the food taste consistent. I sat at the bar and the service was good and fast. My drink was the bomb just a little small and the chips and guacamole was amazing ! I got the carnitas, steak and shrimp taco and they were all delicious. Carnitas was my favorite. I recommend getting the Mexican rice over the cilantro and the refried beans. Both delicious. Super affordable prices an they validate parking

Tiffany L.

Honestly nothing but good things to say here. The workers are so down to earth and the food is great. I came here for lunch and got shrimp fish and borria tacos which were great and then another night (on my birthday) I stoped by here for a drink. Andres (whos bday is the same as mine) and German treated me amazingly they even surprised me with a tres leches dessert which was so sweet. I felt so at home and comfortable here and I would love to come back again.

BURRITO BOWL chicken
Gupta R.

Excellent food and service. Love the decor and ambience of the place. Ordered burrito bowl and chicken birria tacos - and both were amazing. Had an enjoyable fun evening !

RREAL NACHOS
Ley S.

Parking: Parking garage available. Make sure to bring your parking ticket, they can give you a validation sticker on your way out. Came in on a Friday night hoping to beat the game day crowd. I was immediately able to be seated at the bar which I appreciate. Bartender was very attentive and very kind! Never felt like I needed to hunt anyone down as they did good on anticipating my needs for napkins, sauces and light as is it got darker outside. Drinks: I had the pineapple guava margarita. Delicious, I'd get this again if they still offer it! Food: RReal nachos w/ chicken minus the beans. So delicious, especially with the red hot sauce. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and fresh. I love that rreal incorporates cheese throughout their nachos so it's not just all piled at the top. I definitely recommend a reservation if you plan to come in during busier times or with a large group. This place gets PACKED and is fairly small inside. also a warning, their floor is very greasy and slippery so walk with caution.

The Rudolph.
Liselle B.

I have been to this location a handful of times but most recently I visited and they were doing their Christmas-thened pop-up bar. I liked how they went all out with the Christmas lights and holiday decorations throughout the restaurant. Though they srill had their regular menu offerings, there was also a special Christmas menu with specialty food and drink items available. I ordered the Beef Christmas Birria Taco which was described as a festive red corn tortilla filled with melted cheese, slow-cooked birria, onion, and cilantro (chicken was also an option instead of beef) and The Rudolph, which was their version of Coquito. Both items were tasty and enjoyable. Minus one star because in general the service was a bit lacking, but I would consider returning and trying other items since I enjoyed what I ordered.

Zombie punch
Kola H.

After a short wait we opted for An interior table with two kids and three adults. While the zombie Punch makes a great ig moment it was not tasty for a mixed drink which is unfortunate. Refried black beans, rice and shrimp tacos were best things I tried. Grilled chicken was a bit too grilled, barbacoa was very dry and bland - ultimately way too loud inside to enjoy conversation and dinner so I'd likely not be back. Just visiting from out of town anyway- tons of very creepy decor if you're into that. I can imagine its fun for a bar crawl. Service was good.

ABUELA SALAD with Chicken
Tia R.

The decor for Halloween was top tier. This place and all the staff really get into the spirit. A small and random thing I appreciate would be the tongs and tooth picks they utilize for garnish. I've seen many bartenders throw everything in with their hand or a glove that has touched much more than the fruit. The drinks were also mixed well. (Mocktails for me) How was the food? Good, I enjoyed a costra taco and the Abuela salad. For both, the meat choices seemed endless so I just went with what I knew. Al pastor for the taco and grilled chicken for the salad. If I ate this salad again I think I would remove the radish. It was a little dry and didn't complement the salad dressing. Staff? Amazing and attentive, Spanish too, which I personally loved. Parking? The angle for each parking spot will be shhhhharp. There were so many wheels out of place. But they validate for 3 hours so that is nice. The walk is also minimal. I like this little area if you're going on a date. But inside is small for a group of friends so just know you'll be packed in a little tight. Large group table options and the patio is more spacious than inside. Lastly be ready for tons of bells and sparkles going through the room. All and all I think I'll be back and I hope there is more holiday decor when I return.

Stopped in for a quick lunch during a recent visit to Buckhead. The whole building inside and out was decorated with Halloween decorations. I mean every inch. Even some of the servers were dressed up. The vibe was upbeat and the music was blasting. This spot is covered with Televisions. So you can probably come here for a game or 2. Now onto to the food. I didn't have anything to drink but, I did try 3different tacos. Grilled Shrimp- shrimp was nicely done. Not overcooked. Slaw, onions and cilantro were on it. Nice flavor and a bite of crunch. Pork Belly- Came with onion and cilantro topping. Pork belly was crispy and juicy. Picahna-topped with chimicurri and pickled onion. Great flavor. Steak was deliciously seasoned and cooked. Chimi sauce was to die for! I'll say that each taco was nicely portioned for the price. I was stuffed eating all 3. But sad I for went the chips and salsa. It looked deelish. I sat at the bar thinking service would be faster but, apparently many others thought the same. Actual service for drinks was slow but, food came out fast. I'd definitely patronize again.

ASADA
Emiko T.

Food is excellent, I had asada and birria taco. Service is excellent. The ambiance is super cute during October the entire bar is Halloween themed. Great place to hang out have good drinks and good food.

Find the doors on the side of Chido Padres with a picture of two animals on the door windows. (Check pictures) Free parking lot! We got two drinks: Silent Night Margarita and Hung by the Fireside. Our total was $71.60 with tax for 4 drinks. Each drink was about $16. Pros Loved the decor and the drinks were great! Not too much juice and just enough alcohol. Cons $16 a drink can rack up pretty quickly if you're a heavy drinker. Would I Recommend: Yes! Based on the drinks I would definitely recommend this place.

This year the drinks were blah, the food was mediocre, the vibe was non-existent, and the service was the bare minimal. I have been to other pop-ups this year and would recommend any of them over this include Rreal Taco down the street or Hamp & Harry's or even just picking up the Grinch Happy Meal at McDonald's. Pros: Parking onsite, Reservations (sort of), friendly host (best part of the experience) and server (but absent), nice decorations. Cons: Expensive, boring drinks, overcooked and poorly plated food, not a lively nor festive vibe, poor communication and customer service. Even though this is the only pop-up pre-charging for their event and it was significantly more than a year ago, we liked having a booked time and it was a great experience previously so we booked in early November, but within an hour of booking, we had to adjust the time via OpenTable to a couple hours later. Faster forward to two days before our booking. Confirmations comes in and we notice it is the old time. Called, left messages, send messages through multiple means. Zero response. Called the next day and finally reached the manager who said that the time we wanted wasn't available even though it was the day before so took a later option at 730. Arrive on time but they don't have a table. While waiting they seat us in another area and offer extras since they are late...but they bring chips and salsa 30 mins after 730 when we were supposed to be seat 10-15 mins after we arrive. No waters or anything. Bring complementary margaritas at 810 but only 4 and there are 6 of us. The waitress was dismissive and there was no one else in the bar when we got there. Finally seated at 830 even though they are timed reservations and said they were going to be asking people to wrap within 15 mins of 730. Food was so basic and slapped on the table. Drinks were not festive at all. Ran out of hot chocolate. No festive cups or anything. It was the most mediocre experience I have had. Skip it!

Unfortunately, not a place we'd return to. Came here for the first time on a Saturday at 6pm with my husband, and surprisingly, we were the only people in the restaurant until about the time we left. Service: 1 star There was plenty of staff, so it was confusing how things still felt so off. Drinks were wrong (I ordered prosecco and was brought white wine), and overall attentiveness just wasn't there. Another disappointment was at the end - my husband paid while I was in the restroom, and when I checked the receipt, I noticed I'd been charged $3 more for the wine. I calmly pointed it out, not even asking for a refund, just to flag it, and the waitress argued with me about it instead of simply acknowledging the mistake. Not a great way to end the night. Drinks: My prosecco mix-up aside, the drinks were just okay. My husband's gin & tonic was fine, but noticeably better ones can be found nearby. (Like our night cap at Yeppa after) Apps: 2 stars * shishito peppers were soggy and overly fried * Caesar salad was heavily dressed and tasted like something you'd get at a diner Entrees: 4 stars * chicken was excellent - well cooked & flavorful. Slaw on the side was a bit random * trout was slightly salty but still very good and cooked perfectly. Skin perfectly crispy & enjoyed the grilled green onion on top. I substituted grilled veggies for the slaw (due to dairy)

We dined on a Saturday night at 6 p.m. and the restaurant was dead empty. This worried me but the…read moreattentive service and good food proved me wrong. The ambience is dark, sleek and sexy. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating, but they did forget my friend's birthday celebration details. We got the salmon and the steak frites. Both were pretty good. The smoke Gouda Mac and cheese was just okay - it was like warm and didn't have that strong bite a good Mac and Cheese should have. The menu seems on the smaller side, but there are a couple of solid options to choose from. I do believe it's kind of overpriced for the portion sizes you receive. I would dine here again, but it'd have to be a very special event.

Live music started over an hour late, and there's not much standing room, so I'd recommend reserving a table. Now, onto the food. I ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos (three to a plate), which were supposed to be fried shrimp topped with Asian slaw and boom boom sauce. What I got instead? Iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, and a light drizzle of sauce. Not what was described or expected, or worth $20. Only bottled water available - small bottles for $5+. I declined. The price point overall didn't make much sense throughout the entire menu. To top it off, my friend ordered a Moscato and was given the wrong wine - Chardonnay, if I remember correctly. The waitress initially pushed back, but as the wine aficionado of the group, I could confidently say it wasn't Moscato. She eventually took it back to the bar, apologized, and swapped it. Would we go back? Yes--for the drinks and live music, once the night hits its stride. But for food? Not so much.

They have an indoor and outdoor area on Sundays and the music is always good. People are friendly and it's a vibrant atmosphere. The only reason I wouldn't give this place five stars is because the food is just OK. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it had what tasted like almost no seasoning. Everything was cooked nicely. The shrimp was cooked nicely and the pasta was as well but it just needed some salt and I was disappointed because they gave me plastic cutleries and I was looking to see if they had the little salt and black pepper packet in it and it didn't so I couldn't even add any salt on top to make it a little bit more flavorful. I still definitely love this place though for the drinks and just a good time. I absolutely recommend this place because it is a lot of fun.
