Food and service excellent - can't get much better!!!! Friendly, fast, and tasty. Ordered tacos, birria, and street corn.

Solid tacos in the metro ATL area! I've been on a Quesa Birria kick and they were good - not the best I've had, but good. It was a little pricey at $14 for 3 small-ish tacos, but each taco was packed with meat. I also got a taco de la abuela with pastor meat. For their street tacos, they have normal street tacos for $3.25, or for $0.25 more you can get the same taco with a handmade tortilla (aka taco de la abuela). I didn't try a normal taco, so not sure if there's a notable difference in the tortilla, but I thought the pastor taco was solid as well. I felt like perhaps it was lacking a little in flavor? But I do appreciate the amount of meat that's given. The slices of pineapple are nice as well - very authentic. Throughout my dining experience, most customers were picking up/taking orders to go. The restaurant is kept clean and there's a serve yourself salsa bar. I'm glad that I've found a good taco spot nearby! Parking is a bit limited as the lot is small and is shared with other small restaurants as well. read more

Pretty delicious tacos!! Love the al pastor and beef. The meat wasn't as juicy as I've had in other places outside of GA but will def return here. I got beans and rice on the side and wished the pinto beans were more mashed and had some more flavor. Small casual spot with a few tables. My husband enjoyed his burrito. The chips and fresh guac were also delicious. Churros filled with cream and chocolate were amazing. read more

Moved into the area and was recommended Tacos Al Pastor Great service by the cashier - very friendly / outgoing and super helpful. I ordered the burrito Al pastor and it did not disappoint. Lots of well seasoned / marinated meat and plenty of beans and rice. Definitely on my 'return to' list read more

The food is great. They have the pork cooking and it has a lot of flavor. My favorites are the quesadillas, burritos and tacos. Their chips are great, very crispy. They use Styrofoam (like many other restaurants). Unfortunately, they sometimes get damaged from the hot food. The picture below shows a container that melted in one of the corners. read more

What a hidden gem!! Came in for dinner and came back the next day for lunch! Quick and delicious. Outdoor seating! In the same strip is Indian, Mediterranean, a local bar, and more! They do not sell alcohol, but you are able to walk to the bar next door and carry out a drink. The vegetarian options were amazing! Fresh veggies that had meat like textures. The chicken abuela tacos and the elote corn were SO good! If I'm ever in this area of ATL again you know where to find me! read more

I did come here near closing time so my options were limited, but even with what I ordered which is fairly simple and standard for a taqueria, I wasn't overly impressed. I got three steak tacos and they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I thought the prices were on the higher side too. Staff was friendly though. read more

Randomly driving around and stumbled upon this solid spot for tacos. I got tacos de la abuela of al pastor and lengua (beef tongue). The tortillas was good and the meat was season well! I paired it with a agua de jamaica (hibiscus). I enjoyed the jamaica, it tasted fresh and not too sweet. Would def return! read more

Been here a few times for dinner after walking around Blackburn Park. There's indoor and outdoor seating here, and we like to sit outside when the weather is nice. I usually get the Quesa Birria tacos here, which satisfy the craving. Recently I ordered two Tacos de La Abuela, guacamole and chips, and churros. The food tasted fresh, tasty, and was filling. read more

This really hit the spot after a long day of studying. Didn't take a picture of the full bowl of guac because I was hungry haha, but it was a decent size, and super fresh. The service was INCREDIBLY fast and the food was so good. Casual atmosphere but worth it for a quick bite !:) read more

You know you are in an authentic taco spot when beef tongue is on the menu! This is a great little taco spot in the old five points shopping area at the corner of Johnson Ferry and Ashford-Dunwoody. Very little seating but they do have an outdoor area if you bring your dog. They have tacos callejeros for $3.25 each and tacos de la abuela for $3.50. I am not a Spanish speaker but I know Abuela is grandmother so I figure anything made like Grandma used to make has to be good. I got two tacos de la abuela, one chicken and one beef. The restaurant is small but clean. The staff friendly. Overall a good experience. The tacos we good, but about what I expected. The prices are not super high, but not a great value either. I will come back and try them they also have a nice kabob style rotisserie with pork on it I want to try. read more

Tacos Al Pastor - Tacos de la abuela. $3.50 each - Tacos Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

We stopped by this place as it had super good reviews and were very hyped to try it. The place has decent amount of seating and is fairly clean. They have a variety of drinks to choose from, I mean the most unique flavors of Jarritos. The tacos themselves were um not my favorite. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The tortillas seemed not so fresh and were very thick. Even after adding a lot of sauce, we struggled to finish them. Veggie Al Pastor I had high hopes for but unfortunately the combination of pineapple, oyster mushrooms and the sauce did not mesh well together. The service was quick and they have sauces for self serve as well. I do think that it might be better for people who eat red meat as that's what the most good reviews have stated. I will not be back :( read more

A friend mentioned this place. And boy oh boy was it super delicious. Apparently Tacos Al Pastor started out as a food truck. The hubs ordered pork tacos and Mexican sausage de la abuela. It was tasty and had a generous amount of meat. We saw them started making the handmade tortilla right as the order was put in so it's definitely fresh. I had the beef tongue gorditas. The gorditas was a little crunchier than I expected, but it was good nonetheless. The little cubes of beef tongue was chewy and added a nice contract in texture. The horchata drink was tasty as well. It was well flavored and not watered down. A friend of ours swapped his quesa birria for one of our tacos, and that thing is to die for. Apparently it's a new concept and growing in popularity. That thing was so flavorful, cheesy, and moist. I'm just dreaming of it now as I write this. If you're into trying new things, this is a MUST TRY. At first I thought it was like a French dip concept, but the taco was packed full of flavor and its juices. They gave you a separate cup with the sauce so you can soak that bad baby even more. The prices here weren't bad either even though it's Brookhaven. [$3.25 for a regular taco.] read more

Don't be surprised if you're charged higher prices than the prices that are on the menu! R and I visited Tacos Al Pastor later in the evening on the same day they had their official grand opening last month. Parking was easy to find, and there were some customers sitting at tables in the outdoor patio and some eating in the indoor dining area. The employees weren't welcoming at all. Even though there were a few at the front counter, they just stood and looked at us. A "Hello" or "Welcome" would've been nice. R asked one of the employees a few questions about the menu items, then we ordered. The employee rang up each item as we ordered. I noticed that the $3 street taco on the menu rang up as $3.50. I immediately questioned the reason why I was being charged $0.50 more for each taco, and the employee told me, "Oh, the tax is added when we ring it up." Uh, ok, but how is the tax rate at this restaurant over 16%?????? Then R ordered the elote, that was $4 on the menu. However, it rang up as $5. This time, R asked why it was $1 more, and was told it was added tax and the price was increased, they didn't have time to change the price on the menu and, besides, the price comes up automatically when she rings it up. Look at the pics that I took before we placed our orders. You'll see the prices for the street tacos and the elote in the pics that I posted with this review. Had there been some advanced warning about the surprise price increases we may have been tolerant. However, when higher prices are charged without any warning or a good excuse, this comes across to us as being deceptive, with the owners/managers seeming to hope that no one notices the increased prices on the items and just pays the higher prices without realizing it. R even told them that. He even said,"This restaurant had a grand opening earlier today! How is it that you guys didn't have time to warn your customers that the prices went up, or even write the higher prices on the menus on the TV monitors?" The employee just gave a shrug of her shoulders. I have a very big problem with this business that tried to charge us more than their stated prices, especially on the day of their grand opening! Because of this, we left after canceling the order and won't be going back. read more

This unassuming neighborhood eatery serves up authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. Each dish tastes fresh and homemade. I particularly enjoy the birria tacos, the various aguas frescas and the fresh churros. And don't forget to try the different salsas at the salsa bar. Coupled with the friendly service and relaxed atmosphere (both indoor and outdoor seating), I always enjoy going here. read more

Great little taco shop. Ordered the birria tacos which were really good. Not the best I've ever had but more than enough to do the trick. Parking is pretty easy, and if all else Fails you've got Cuban, Mediterranean and Japanese right in the same strip... read more

Loved my visit to Tacos Al Pastor. We went a day or two after they opened and it didn't disappoint. The tacos were on point. Might be my favorite taco spot in the area now. They have plenty of taco choices to choose from. I had two Al pastor and a carne asada. You can get them with regular corn tortillas or in house homemade tortillas. I really appreciate that option. read more

Best street tacos in Atlanta. Ordered the Tacos de la Abuela, 2 with pork and one with Mexican sausage. They are made with fresh corn tortillas hand made daily. The filling in each taco is quite generous, with plenty of onions and cilantro and (with the pork version) pineapple. Simply outstanding tacos and reasonably priced. The elote (corn on the cob) is revelatory, even for a corn-fed boy from Nebraska. The ear of corn is served hot and steamy, covered with mayo, grated Mexican cotija cheese, and topped with a sprinkle of red Mexican chile powder. This service is quick and pleasant. The store itself is spotless, with a 100-A rating. Highly recommended! read more

Really good tacos! Fast and friendly service. I stopped in for lunch and had three tacos de mi abuela: carnitas, chorizo, and al pastor. All three were great. I will return and recommend to friends. read more

So does taco spot is in a little strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants. You can probably miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. It's a small shop but they do have indoor and outdoor seating. Several seats inside and then outside to have a patio situation. They have free parking because it's public and a strip mall so you don't have to worry about paying to park, but they're not a billion parking spaces so just keep that in mind. I come in and I can immediately see some meat in the background and it looks pretty good. I was definitely greeted by somebody as soon as I walked in the door. On the inside they have a bunch of different drinks that cans and bottles just like they have a water disaster so you won't feel have to buy a lot of water. They also have a small area for sauces so you can actually get whatever sausage you want from the serving tray. That's nice so you don't have to keep going back and forth to try to ask them for sauces. They have a flat top that they are cooking on in the background so it comes off the grill hot and fresh. I got the tacos de la abuela (pork and beef) and then the quesa birria. The tacos were good. I tried the green sauce and the red sauce for them just to see what they would be like. Pork was flavored very well and it really didn't need a whole lot of extra. The beef was good but the sauce definitely helped. There were some pineapple and other flavorful bits in the taco as you can see in the picture so you already know that it had the sweet and savory going on. I enjoyed that very much. Now the Birria was good as hell. It had an order that came with three tacos plus the dipping juice as well. They put it in a little cup and then you can dip it as you see fit because of tacos fit perfectly. They were good on their own, the cheese was perfectly melted and everything. So I didn't actually need anything else but I dipped it anyway! They were a good size, and very full. So it's not like you would get only a little bit of meat with this, no, you got plenty. Overall this spot was really good and I would definitely consider making this a go-to spot for me to pick up some carryout. It was fairly affordable so why not!? Tacos are like 350 a pop, and the order of birria was about 14 for three tacos and the juice. I'm definitely going to visit it again. read more

I love the food here. The quesadilla birria (3 beef stew tacos) is divineeeee! The Tacos Callejeros are great (Grilled Beef, Pork, Chicken). The 'Mexican Sausage' taco was rather salty so I would not order that one again. My husband said the 'beef tongue' taco was good so I would need to try that next time. Side of guacamole is a must to go with the tacos because the tacos don't come with any salsa. read more

Yum! Great tacos! Fresh & full of flavor! Very authentic. Love their taco sauces! Great service & nice patio to sit out & enjoy the sun! Will be back again! read more

Amazing food. Best guacamole I've ever eaten. Not sure why this place isn't packed but I'll definitely be back.

Great birria tacos and corn (elote)!! Great vibe around Christmas time, had a huge grinch animatronic and Christmas music playing !!

I visited this place yesterday with my boyfriend, and it was delicious! I love tacos al pastor, so I got 3 . They were savory and sweet, and the tortillas were soft but crisp. The agua de jamaica was also delicious, and it reminded me of my family making it over the summer. It has a honey taste to it, which is nice in the heat! The food came out quickly, and the servers were very kind. They had a couple people in there and eventhough it's a small place which could get a bit crowded, they worked through each order efficiently. I also love the little area where this is located; it's called the old five points, so that was something new I learned! There are lots of cute, multicultural restaurants and I plan on checking all of them out. read more

I wanted to order the pork quesadilla but it wasn't finished cooking so I got a beef quesadilla. There was a bit of fat and gristle in the meat (-1 Star for the quality). I also got the chips and guacamole which was good. I like tomatoes in my guacamole and this didn't have any but it did have a nice flavor and the portion size was generous. The place was clean and workers were friendly. What ruined my experience was the cook decided to have lunch while I was (11:30am) and watched videos on his phone loudly at one of the 6 inside tables. Very rude as I was reading a book and 4 other customers were eating as well. So, the restaurant turned up the volume of the Spanish music throughout which made it worse I believe. Not taking stars for this as it is likely a one off but the chef should be spoken to and should have to use earphones if he wants to watch TV or listen to videos while he has his lunch. read more

Was so excited to try this spot after seeing all of the positive reviews, but it just wasn't quite it for us. We ordered on UberEats to pick up; between my boyfriend and I, we ordered quesa birria, supreme nachos, elote, chirros and a strawberry agua fresca. Out of everything we ordered, the only items worth returning for were the elote, churros and the agua fresca, unfortunately. The proteins on both main dishes were just terrible - on my supreme nachos, the ground beef was so overcooked, it was like leather. My boyfriend's quesa birria was overly packed with excessive cheese and the beef again, overcooked and just not good. Everything was pretty soggy not even halfway through as well, so impossible to finish even if we wanted to. Overall, extremely underwhelming. Weird bc their sign states "authentic street style," but they really missed the mark. I'd only return for a beverage or elote, not too interested in trying any other main dishes. Inside was clean and we were the only customers at the time. Service was pretty quick as well. We had high hopes after seeing 4.9 stars on Google but it was just disappointing :( read more

Not sure why this gets good reviews. Some of the worst tacos I've had in a while, and they're expensive!

Everything about this place is genuine and authentic to the culture. I go here all the time with my broke college friends because everything about this place is amazing and worthy every cent we pay. The food, the drinks, and the workers contribute to our enjoyment of the place. I love getting the quesa birrias because its something that you don't mostly see in other places! (**) read more

Real Mexican street tacos! They use the trompo and in house made tortillas. I was born and raised in Mexico City, and if you are looking real al pastor in ATL, this is one of the best options. Don't be fooled by the simple front, Erik and his family give the place a personal touch. His service is friendly and personal. A rarity, these times. read more
