Stopped by after work. They have a walk up window for ordering but it allows you to see the area where the food is being prepared. This is a take out restaurant. I don't recall seeing any tables and most people were sitting in their cars or standing to the side of the order counter. I ordered a beef taco (hard shell) and had swallowed it down before I even got out the parking lot. I was very happy they put the taco Pete sauce on the side as I requested with the nachos. The nacho chips themselves were sorta stale and reminded me of nachos you get at movie theaters. The staff was pleasant and the intercom system they use to call your number is loud enough that you can sit in your car and still hear you number but isn't overly loud that it's disturbing. I'd return for the tacos. read more

Never going back. They started charging 80 cents for hot sauce...at a taco shop. Not only is this annoying and incredibly disrespectful as a customer, but they wanted me to wait in line to pay my 80 cents. My counteroffer, you ask? I will never ever go back. Ever. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Taco Pete since it's the one "from California", but I ended up pretty disappointed. As someone who's from Cali, I was not impressed at all. The quality of the tacos just wasn't good. I don't like that they use shredded meat for all of their tacos -- I'm not a fan of shredded or ground meat in tacos, and it makes them feel even less authentic. For a spot claiming California roots, it's definitely not giving real California-style tacos. I'm not sure what the hype is about, but I won't be back. There are plenty of better taco and Mexican spots in the area that feel more authentic and offer way better quality. The service was actually pretty good and the man who was taking orders as very friendly but other than that its mid. read more

Taco Pete's tacos are just good old school American tacos. You know protein of your choice,lettuce, cheese, and their famous taco sauce. Their taco cheeseburger is also phenomenal. The service is always great and the food is made to order so it's always fresh. I highly recommend giving these folks a try. read more

I love Taco Pete's tacos and I'm glad they reopened. I made it right before closing and ordered 2 beef tacos and a drink. I like how their soft shell tacos are still slightly fried giving the tortilla slight crisp. read more

Only 2 complaints. 1- parking lot is too small. 2 - other than the fries, the portions are too small.

Food: Great Service: Haven't had a issue yet so, good Ambience: Walk up (to go orders only) Food was the same ol school taste as usual but, only issues I had was my beef burrito was only like warm & my fries were not freshly made. With that being said, they were cold! Not good TP...yall know I put on for my state "S. Cali" but you did me wrong today. Yall have done making up to do on my next visit! For Real read more

Taco Pete - Beef taco - Mexican Near Me - East Point, Georgia

I recently went here and was wonderfully surprised at the new renovation to the place! Food was still on point and delicious! Being that they serve Mexican food adjacent to Taco Bell, and typically have a line compared to Taco Bell speaks volumes. My go to is the hard shell beef tacos and their chicken quesadilla! read more

Taco Pete - Soft Shell Taco - Mexican Near Me - East Point, Georgia

Always coming here for a turkey burger! Service is always attentive and friendly. Good outdoor eating is available.

Waited a long time for them to open the location up after the construction and I really hoped the food would be the same.. but sadly it isn't. They gave me the smallest amount of rice I think I have ever seen. I had to go back and ask was that the correct amount. The asst manager fixed it, but she shouldn't have had to do that. It should have been correct from the beginning. My wings were just ok.. maybe they need a little more time getting back into the groove.. and the parking lot is still super congested. I was hoping they were going to make that a little bigger.. read more

Just reopened.. Stopped here for lunch and ordered shrimp quesadilla, cheese quesadillas and 2 beef tacos.. Everything was really good and fresh, and cooked to order.. Friendly staff but needs to work the kinks out of the operation stuff.. Gave me the wrong order and ended up giving me the right order, and came back to give me tacos sauce that was left out the bag.. Pretty good overall experience and definitely will be back again. read more

The best tacos that East Point has to offer. This is the first place where I ever tried nacho fries, and you can tell that all the ingredients are very fresh. I used to come here when it was just a small shack before the pandemic, so I was excited to see the new building. read more

This is my taco go to spot. I live very close so I frequently grab your delicious HARD shell beef tacos. I emphasize hard as these were far from it today. I purposely omit lettuce and request sour cream on the side to avoid having a soggy taco when I arrive home 6 mins later. I don't know where the break down is but it truly nicks your brand when your customers desire a hard taco and end up with mush. I'm very disappointed. Do I need to order a deconstructed taco in order to have the desired texture? Are you pre making this or not draining your meat? Whatever it is please correct this. You do a lot of things well. Don't make your patrons build their own tacos. read more

I ordered a chicken quesadilla to have for lunch at work and it was just what I needed! I'll definitely be ordering again soon!

Make sure you check your order on the screen before they complete the transaction. I ordered fries and three "bean" tacos, but received three "beef" tacos." The fries were good though. read more

We ordered Tacos and Wings. The tacos we're just okay. That is the reason for the three stars. I order a chicken taco, beef taco and steak taco. It came with some special sauce which was good. I got my tacos without cheese I don't know if that's what made the difference but they were just okay. The show that they were in was good they put it on the grill or something it was pretty good but as far as the chicken taco it was really bland. I did not feel it was seasoned. The best taco that I had was the beef which was season good it didn't need anything extra so it was good. The steak tacos was my second best out of all three but could have been better. My husband got wings and fries the wings were delicious I think that was the best part of the whole meal. And the fries were just okay but everyone's fries are different so I won't judge too hard on those. Outside of that the customer service was good there was a little bit of a week for my food. We were probably the third people there in line but ended up getting our food after a few other people that had came because the line got really long after we arrived. But I like it for a quick pop up and grab your food. I would go back but I would not get to tacos again. As far as cleanliness from what I can see it look decent but because you drive up and park and grab your food and not go inside I couldn't really see inside of the store where they're cooking the food so I can't give a completely accurate description on that. I also would say that the food was in a decent price range my tacos were about $3 and some change for each taco. And my husband's school was not super expensive for the wings and fries. I would definitely like to go back and try something else maybe some nachos with the beef would probably be good. If I go back again I'll give you guys another review! read more

Grand Re-Opening. Parking is still limited, but people are in and out & they do get to your order in a decent amount of time. Not sure if it's allowed, but I park on the back side of the parking lot on the other restaurants parking lot since I'm usually getting my order to go. Always fresh. Always good. The new building is very nice. I like the new setup and I'm glad it's in the same location. read more

Taco Pete's squandered their chance to change my mind. We visited this location over a year ago and left grossly disappointed. ALL of our food was cold, greasy, and mushy. We threw it away after a few bites - disgusted. But the 4-star reviews have always haunted and confused us. So when we saw that Taco Pete's had been demolished and rebuilt, bigger and better than ever before, with a consistent line around the block and a packed parking lot since reopening... We made the sad mistake to revisit. And let me note: I'm writing this review for anyone who might be driving by, sees this scene, and unaware of what's awaiting them - decides to stop and give it a try. We kept it simple, ordering a steak burrito, a beef hard taco, a steak flour taco, and 6 wings. "Steak" burrito - got home and it was ground beef ............. also had tomatoes, lettuce, and jalapeños - which my bf specifically asked to exclude. Beef and steak tacos - nothing special, stingy with the meat portions, but their hot sauce is good. Wings (hot buffalo) - surprisingly the best thing we tasted, but of course, they forgot to include the blue cheese. Did I mention that the only food that was hot was the wings? Ironic. And enough to piss me off actually. We waited 20 mins for food that was allegedly cooked to order and it was like warm at best when we received it. They also have a lot of nerve having a handwritten sign on the window a telling customers to make sure they check their order on the screen before paying, as if that did us any good! If it's not obvious, we will never return, and I'm severely side-eyeing EVERY 4-star+ review on here. read more

Taco Pete is SO good! While not "authentic " Mexican tacos, their Americanized style tacos are delicious. The tiny restaurant is located in East Point not too far from Hartsfield Jackson airport. This place gets busy, so be patient. Their motto is " we don't serve fast food, we serve great food as fast as we can". They have a few tables set up outside to dine at, but most people take their food to go. I arrived before 12 pm and the service was prompt and I got my food in a timely manner. During this visit I ordered a hard shell ground beef taco, a soft shrimp taco and an order of fries. My food was hot and fresh when I received it and everything was awesome. The tacos were packed with flavor. They also have a variety of other items including burgers and wings. I've had their wings previously and they are pretty tasty. I'm kind of glad that they're not near my home because I would be here all of the time, lol! I've heard negative reviews about the customer service, but the service was good in my opinion. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Looking for something good to eat in the area, I came here because someone recommended this spot. I noticed it was a line of people so I automatically knew the food was going to be good. They did not have a long menu of items. Just basics like hot dogs, sides, drinks and of course Tacos. I ordered 3 shrimp tacos with everything that come on it. The red sauce that come w. It was good and brought all the ingredients together. I highly recommend coming here because it is worth the wait. I will definitely come back and try the taco salad and the hot dogs. read more

So, I'm not sure what happened after y'all opened back up from COVID but, I literally just left this spot and the young lady at the counter (attitude is on ..you need to go home for the rest of the day). I'm not the only one who noticed. Others in line as well saw it. Anyway, I purchased a turkey burger and a steak taco. Didn't have to go far because I was washing clothes right next door. Got in my car and drove to the laundromat. Started to eat my food and it was like Luke warm. I started to go back up there but frankly, I wasn't even in the mood. Didn't want to deal with the girl at the counter to pass off her negative energy my way and I was hungry as all hell! To add on, it was very bland. Probably be a minute before I come back tbh! Hopefully my expectations and experience will be better next time. read more

This spot is Not an authentic mexican food spot. It was very misleading which is disappointing.

I have been living in East Point since 2014 and I always looked at that very small taco and wings restaurant when I went to work but I never bought anything, then I saw the beginning of the construction of the renovation of the building and that was when I decided to give it a try ,, the three tacos I ate were good, but the service of the person who took my order, I felt the tone of voice she used towards me was very loud and almost rude compared at the way she took to other Custumer order ,I don't think I can go back again. read more

I came to this place about to buy my entire family dinner but i settled for 1 quesadilla because i requested for my tomatoes to be on the side instead of being inside a hot quesadilla, do you know instead of going above and beyond they said they would have to charge me to put them on the side because they would have to use extra supplies that cost!? But gave me a Togo box that they could have literally just put them inside the container.. I just was like yea just give me this and ima be on my way, I own a business myself and sometimes its not always about money it's about the customer experience to create a client that will do business with you forever... that was my last time spending my money...to each is own but it's too much going on in the world to be sweating something so small like that.. they wanted to charge an extra dollar to put my tomatoes that I had already paid a extra charge for to add to my order, now I get charged again to put them on the side.. smh read more

Good seasoning; service needs work! Three stars solely on well marinated tacos purchased yesterday. Flavor is paramount in my reviews, but MUST be accompanied by good service. Not necessarily great, but good allows repeat clients and is a minimum requirement for businesses to thrive, not just survive! I had driven by this East Point establishment several times, and usually observed a line of customers eagerly awaiting opportunity to place their orders. Taco Pete's came to mind when I thought about dining options yesterday. I was nearby and navigated quickly to location. Parking was limited as it sits on a weird corner, but was able to nab one of the few spots available. Line wasn't too long when I arrived and placed order after short wait. Got two shrimp soft tacos and one chicken soft taco. I asked order taker if possible to get without onions and cheese. She said yes, and heard her communicate to cooking staff. As I waited, I texted my child to ask if she wanted anything. Response was shrimp taco with rice and beans. Returned to window (it's a walk up spot) and asked about adding to order. The sign listed rice separately and beans separately per attached, but order taker stated it was a combination of the rice and beans. Asked to add to order, but not sure what her response was to request. She mumbled something and closed window. I later discovered that it was close to closing (the was at 7 pm on a Friday) as others arriving were turned away. Received my original order and proceeded home to make own arroz con frijoles to accompany my tacos, and share with child. The seasoning was on point, especially the nice sized, deveined shrimp one. Chicken was good too. Did not like the cheese and onions on all orders though. (Thankfully I was not allergic to either item specifically asked not be included.) Asked for onion removal because onions are usually not cooked and not a fan of crunchy onions. The cheese exclusion was due to slight cold and fact that dairy causes mucus, which I have been actively fighting to rid from my body. Smh. The soft taco shell was also greasy, and probably reason I observed several patrons eating in their vehicles upon receipt of food. My shells did not last the less than 10 minute drive home. Thank goodness the contents were seasoned and satisfied my taco craving. As signage shows, Taco Pete's also has a myriad of offerings. May visit again when not under the weather and can eat upon receiving. read more

I visited this establishment two consecutive days with today being the second. I ordered the beef taco salad initially on day one. Very delish and portion size was excellent. Very satisfied. Enough to return the Very next day from Stone Mountain. I wanted to experiment today, I ordered the steak taco salad. Very disappointing and poor choice on my behalf. The portion was for a teenager, not for a 69 years seasoned grown man. I decided to enlighten the management concerning the fact after spending close to 15$ which included tip ( you know the screen display automatically these greedy days) the fact that I was STILL hungry. I spoke to someone that I asked if they were management and the response was affirmative. After explaining what I had just experienced, the gentleman was attentive and ask if I would speak to the "head chef" in the kitchen. (Chef?) AI knew then I was in for it. Whomever this person was has NOT been educated on customer services skills. His focus was on NOT satisfying a customer, however, explaining to me about the cost of steak and shrimp (which I don't consume at all). I didn't need a crash course on item menu prices. The fact of the matter was my stomach wanted what I actually paid for. I suggest this person to take time off and select a few courses to educate himself as opposed to running the establishment with a "closed fist" of my hard earned funds. A complimentary meal would NOT shut the establishment down when you can write it off. I'm one of those that quietly don't return. BYEEEEEE ​ read more
