Had a really nice dinner here on a perfect evening. I ordered three tacos on flour tortillas: brisket, carnitas and shrimp, plus a side of rice and beans. My friend got a brisket and a veggie taco on corn tortillas with jalapeño rice. We both felt the brisket was a little dry, but the carnitas had great flavor and the shrimp taco was good too. My friend actually liked the veggie taco more than the brisket. We split a pitcher of their house margarita with mango flavoring and it was super refreshing. A couple things to know: the parking area is pretty small, and you order in the back. If you're staying to eat, the outdoor seating is covered and has ceiling fans. We didn't go inside since the weather was so nice. After we ordered and grabbed a table, service was quick. Our server was friendly, efficient and brought us two sauces. Not sure what they were, but both were spicy. The green one was a little less spicy than the red. Overall, tasty food, great vibes and fast service. I'd definitely come back, especially for the carnitas and that mango margarita pitcher. read more

Authentic as it gets! The drinks are strong and delicious! The food is scrumptious! Wait staff was friendly and a blast to talk to. We sat outside and it was lovely under their covered roof. There's little covered nooks too but we were a party of four. read more

Fantastic food! I've loved everything I've ordered so far, but the steak burrito is definitely my favorite. The portions are generous; I always save half for lunch the next day. I've only ordered takeout, and it's consistently ready right on time when I arrive. Thanks Tuza Taco!! read more

In somewhat of a niche of its own. Not the best but definitely not bad. Simple menu of taco, burrito, or bowl options but with enough variety. Order first and then self seating with server bringing out food. Indoor and outdoor (covered) seating with 3 cute 2-3 seater cubbies for a date or privacy catching up with friends. Free but limited parking with entrance's from main (Howell) or side street that feels like a one way with it being difficult for 2 cars to pass at once. Pricing is on the higher end compared to other taco locations for the portions received. The food is good with the corn and guacamole being hits. The service was excellent from those taking orders to bring out food. Margaritas were also good. read more

I went to tuza taco on a Thursday lunch and the yummy portions were just the right amount to fill me up. The ambience in the restaurant was very relaxed with the music at a steady volume and fun beachy colors painting the walls. The service was so kind and considerate without feeling overwhelming. As for the food, I went for a veggie and steak taco. I added some lime as well as the queso we got as an appetizer and they both tasted so delicious. Free parking is available via a few spots in the front as well as around the back ! read more

Tuza Taco - Surf & Turf Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Atlanta , Georgia

The food here is excellent! Formerly from Southern California, it's tough for us to find Mexican food in Georgia that's as good as it is out west. This is our fave we've found in Georgia. Last Thursday night, the cashier rang up our order incorrectly. Among other things we ordered, we had one grilled fish taco and one fried fish taco. She rang them both up as shrimp and we didn't realize until they brought them to our table. The kitchen promptly started correcting the error. We were late getting there due to traffic, so we were rushed getting to Cirque do Soleil. I got my fried fish taco, but we were still waiting for the grilled fish taco and we didn't want to be late so we had to leave. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, we saw the Manager running behind us with the grilled fish taco in a To Go bag! Now that's great service! In additional to excellent food, their heart to serve will bring us back again and again. read more

I love finding tucked away, fun Mexican/taco spots in the city. I think Atlanta shockingly has some really great ones. I can now add Tuza Taco to that list! When you pull into the lot, you can already tell you're in for a treat. Guests order and pay under a metal awning in the parking lot before they sit. I like how the menu is simple, yet offers something for every pallet. My first visit, I ordered three tacos- fried fish, pork belly, and carne asada. I also got a passion fruit margarita and shared chips and queso with my husband. After ordering, you take your order number to one of there many tables in a cute, outdoor gazebo or inside the restaurant. We decided to sit outside this day, and I was happy we did. Our food came out very fast! Everything was delicious! It was fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the fried fish taco. They cooked the fish in beer batter, which was out of this world! It was the best fish taco I've ever had! Honestly, Tuza is now on my top list of taco shops in the city. Definitely a must go with friends or even on a fun date. read more

Honestly, if it wasn't for the heat and the prices I would recommend this place for any day of the week. The food is all really good, fresh and has good flavor. Not too spicy or salty. But for the price... hmmmmm I'm not so sure about that. I sat outside for lunch because I wasn't very sure about where to go. There is an inside sitting area but I don't think people were in that space so I just sat in an outdoor cubby thing. They could use some fans in them. Small ones that run off solar power with timers to not waste energy. And more covered buckets that hold the forks and paper towels. A little outside dust builds character! During the fall though, I imagine this place is PACKED! It's aesthetically please, the music is good and the food is tasty. For me, just a little more over priced than I would like to pay for 3 tacos. They were $5 each (I think the chicken and steak should've been $3.50 each and the shrimp $4.50 but that's just me!) and the rice and beans weren't bad at $3. A great portion too. The Ranch Water was $14!! Some nearby places sell theirs for around $9.50-12. Overall, if it's pay day, please go! It's delicious. You won't be disappointed but your wallet might want to take the rest of the day off. read more

Enjoyed the Birria tacos and Big fish tacos today! The food is always on point and fresh. On a scale of 10 they are a well deserving 15. Service is always great and not a long wait for to go. read more

I love Tuza! The food here is amazing, although somewhat overpriced. On my last visit I tried the taquitos special, which was 3 fried taquitos for $10. It was topped with cheese, sour cream, and lettuce, and also came with a little cup of salsa. It was a good value and was filling and tasty. (I have tried the tacos on prior visits and find them all to be very delicious, but I have a hard time paying $5 or more for a single taco). We also got two appetizers, the queso dip with chips and the street corn. Both were also very tasty, and I would definitely order the queso again. This restaurant has counter service, but the server who brought out our food came around several times to see how we were doing and to remove any empty plates, which was a nice touch. read more

There are so many taco restaurants in Atlanta but only a handful that I will drive out of my way for.. This is one of those places. It's casual with seating inside - and outside on a lovely covered patio. You order first, find a seat, and a server brings you the food. The margs are seriously good and the guacamole is divine. I always get the fried fish taco -and you should too! And there's free parking! What more can you ask for? Overall, it's got good vibes and good food. read more

I have eaten at many Mexican food establishments over the years, I have many favorites for different reasons. My reason for loving Tuza is the fillings in the taco's, I've had seafood to beef and the tastes are above average. The house frozen margarita is not the best I have ever had but it's solid, not too sweet and has a punch. On every visit the staff has been very friendly and attentive. read more

I will definitely be back. read more

We came here on a Saturday for an early dinner. Parking was full in their uneven lot with some paved spots and others in grass. There are also 2 spots on the road side of the establishment, one of them being a disabled spot. No worries though as we found a street spot in the adjacent neighborhood. We walked up and ordered at the underneath place outside. We got our number and found a spot outside in the covered area. There are also some booths that are outside, very unique seating. There is also an indoor area. I got the birria tacos, which were a special, and they were so good, I got two more. That said, they aren't that big, but are so tasty! The food was ready quickly and the service was top notch! I would recommend this place for a laid back meal in a unique setting. read more

I'd been wanting to try them for a while and decided to stop in for lunch one day. You place your order downstairs in the rear of the building then go upstairs to pick your food up. I ordered pork belly, classic and fish tacos along with rice and a margarita . Honestly, the best part was the margarita. The rice was very bland, the pork belly had a weird flavor and the fish taco was ok. The classic ground beef taco lacked flavor as well. Overall I was disappointed because I had high hopes and the lack of flavor in the food missed the mark. The restaurant was clean and the service was good as well. read more

Food was definitely nothing to go back for! We ordered multiple items here including the steak and shrimp burrito and when I bit into it, the burrito was not warm or hot, it was soggy from the black beans and absolutely had no flavor! We just kind of picked over our food trying to make the best of it,. We will not be back! read more

It's a true mystery to me that I have eaten here maybe 10 times and yet never given this restaurant the proper 5-star review. This is my go-to place when I am hungry and want a quick meal that isn't going to break the bank. Most tacos cost $5-6, and you can order chips and salsa or guac if you're in the mood. I usually order 2 tacos, but you may want 3. They also have a great margarita and my favorite is the spicy one. You can order by the cup or as a pitcher. You order near the parking lot, take a number, and they bring the tacos to you. This time our waiter offered hot sauce, and I would highly recommend it. A little goes a long way. We love this place because it's got a huge covered patio, but it also has tables on the grass so you can bring your dog along if you sit there. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Food is great and the service is friendly. Tacos are fresh and delicious and always served right after being prepared.

The tacos were very good. This is an unusual place. You park at the lower level you order your food and then they bring it to you once you figure out where you're going to sit. You can either sit outside within a covered patio close to the building or in a separate covered patio on chairs or you can bring your dogs and sit on the grass. It's awesome. The vibe is unique. People from all walks of life. Or you can sit inside upstairs if you want to be in the AC. A pitcher of margaritas was $35. They definitely did the trick. The tacos were great and authentic. I say, check it out. read more

Tuza Taco - Patio - Tacos Near Me - Atlanta , Georgia

I ventured to Tuza Taco one Monday in January 2022. I'm thinking this is where the bougie Buckhead folks get their tacos. Lol But I stopped here because of the great reviews so I figured the food had to be excellent. However i was concerned about their health score and violations received as we are still in the midst of a pandemic and cleanliness is important. But j decided to take a chance. Since the reviews were so great, I was expecting the ownership to be very Latin allowing for very authentic food but the people that run it didn't appear very "ethnic. The owner kind of had an air about him when I asked what was popular, he trotted by and said "it's all good" and kept stepping back to the kitchen. I ended up ordering 3 tacos; chicken, shrimp and big fish. It would have been nice if there was a combo of some type offered vs buying tacos a la carte. I got my tacos to go like I pretty much do all of my food. They were delicious! The flavors blended well and it tasted light and fresh. I see why the reviews were top notch. I can't see frequenting this place since I don't live in the area and they are a tad pricier than my taco norm but will definitely grab another meal here at some point! Hoping their next health inspection receives high marks sans any violations. read more

There is not one bad item on their menu.... we go once every other week and try to get every item because I've never been disappointed. I am amazed at this place.... The rice is divine!

I mean I can not say enough how great this place is! It's very casual as well so no need to dress up. Just enjoy have margs and sit outside! read more

Food was good! The star of the order was the pork belly taco. The big fish needed a pinch of salt (or maybe I need to cut back). I really enjoyed how the big fish was hot and crisp rather than soggy! I think I prefer a different cut of beef for the steak taco but it was still good. I was tempted to order another taco or two, but maybe three is the magic "save room for later" number. I love the patio space and as this was a solo Saturday lunch visit it allowed me to comfortably enjoy the weather (shaded, fans blowing, covered). I felt encouraged to just hang out not rushed at all. Service was perfect. No qualms abt it. Food came out fast and runners were kind but not intrusive, The hot sauce is HOT...even for this island girl. All in all, I'll be back to try some of the other tacos on the menu.I might go today :-) read more

Those patchwork tiles and fresh open kitchen had me at hello, but the food? That's the real story here. The birria had me questioning why I ever eat anything else, and the al pastor makes me want to send apology texts to every other taco I've called perfect. The steak tacos came in hot, but this guacamole? Pretty sure they've got an avocado whisperer back there - it's that fresh. Split a few Topo Chicos because sometimes you need to recover from the night before. The kind of spot that makes you question all your other lunch plans. Next time I'm bringing everyone I know - and their margarita budget.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I'm going to keep it simple since the owner apparently strong arms people in the reviews. I wanted it to be great. As I walked in on a Taco Tuesday I had really high hopes. Especially considering we went off of the reviews and passed up 7 other choices to go here. After I ordered way too much stuff I sat down and immediately felt like I was in a Quentin Tarantino movie. The atmosphere was eclectic and eccentric, and the employees looked miserable and slumped. The girl taking the order had ZERO enthusiasm and it felt like she hated you. The music authentic and different. I am wondering if the man out on the floor serving, sweeping, and making sure you are good is the owner? Because he was extremely conscientious about his service. I give him a 10/10 and gave him an extra tip (You tip before anything at the register). Guacamole 9/10 House Margarita 4/10 - Tasted like it was filled with sugar Shrimp Tacos - Had to take the shrimp out to eat. Could NOT eat it in taco form. Shrimp texture was 3/10 Steak Taco - Could not eat at all. Went into the garbage. Steak looked "Unsteaky", Gray Rice and Black Beans 7/10 Dinner companion had a steak quesadilla 6.5/10 I would love to come back when it is warm because the outside looked great and fun. However that will not be happening and I am sad about that, and also about having to write this review. Truth and Honor sir. We dropped A LOT of money on this meal ordering whole heartedly with no holds barred to our dismay. read more

Who doesn't love Mexican food, especially tacos! This location is off of busy Howell Mill Rd! They have free parking in the back of the restaurant, a heated patio, loads of outdoor space, and inside seating. The inside is beautifully decorated and you feel like you entered an authentic Mexican restaurant, even the bathroom has Mexican accents with the beautiful tile sink, and wood mirror.   Place your order downstairs, pay and leave a tip. Then decide where to sit, we sat inside because it was pretty chilly. Also take time to look at the specials menu, they had a few items last night that sounded so good, so glad I didn't' order online. From the pics online I thought it was small but it's not; there are a few tables for five, four, and two, and a few seats at a bar. Our food was brought to our table, everything was hot and looked amazing! We had crazy hot queso and if you can't take the heat you probably shouldn't' order this, it is spicy! We also ordered guac because who can pass this up when it's on a menu, it was fresh but missing a little jalapeno for my personal preference, I would request a little spicy next time. I had the beer battered fish, and an oyster taco. My niece had steak taco, and an oyster taco. It was so much food and very filling. Also one of the employees cleared our table which was much appreciated.   Overall I really enjoyed my meal and will return to try more dishes and a margarita next time. I did place an order for churros for $6 and remembered today I didn't receive them. I don't' think it was intentional and I was having trouble eating what I received so didn't' miss them. I called the restaurant to inform them of the missing item and the employee refunded me with no problem and explained typically they try to bring them after you eat your meal and the ticket probably got lost last night. I totally understand and no big deal for me, I appreciate it was an easy process to get the refund.   Tacos $5 each, Queso $7, Guac $7, Jarrito pineapple $3 read more

My Brother & I decided to have Taco Tuesday on a Friday & we were not disappointed. The friendly guys were taking orders outside & from the 'garage' backdrop that served as a minibar, register, beverages counter & anything else needed in reach wise. You place your order & an employee brings your food out to you. Other employees will stop by to clear anything off the table if needed. When we came here about three weeks ago, the inside was still closed. We sat outside on a picnic table set up, just down the small slope from the enormous covered patio that is illuminated by string lights. There's a small deck right outside the interior with a few small tables as well. The larger patio is dog-friendly & well-taken advantage of. Of course, we started off with the Guac & Salsa, both made fresh daily as the taste was evident. About 10 minutes later our Tacos came out, my Veggie Tacos were delicious. Not your ordinary Veggie Taco with a flour tortilla stuffed with lettuce, as Tuza loads up with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, house slaw - minus the grated cotija cheese. My Brother got the Big Mahi Mahi Fish, Shrimp & Campechano Tacos with inhaling all of them simultaneously, so obviously he had no complaints with his selection. You can't beat the $4 Tacos as other items are Burritos, Quesadillas & Bowls. Non-alcoholic beverages - Mexican Coke & Jarritos with their craft made Margaritas & local Beers. One of the best fast-casual Taco places in the Howell Mill area with inexpensive prices & attentive service. We will definitely be back for more Tacos on any given day. read more

3.5 stars TL;DR: Average lunch, but will give it another try. ARRIVAL: The parking lot in front is a little confusing at best. I think there's just the one disabled parking there, but the parking lot is really in the back with entrances on the side street or to the right of the restaurant. I visited in the winter, so they had the back door open and I climbed the indoor stairs. AMBIANCE: Once you get to the front, it's a pretty modern interior with radio hits playing when I went. It's a good casual vibe. They do also have outdoor dining that is covered, so that would be fun as well. MENU: It's a condensed menu with chips and a few 'dip' option, tacos or bowls, simple options for quesadilla or burrito, a couples sides, and one dessert. FOOD: I ordered the quesabirria tacos, one al pastor taco, and the churros to go. The birria weren't on the menu but they said they had it when I asked. The food I live less than 5 mins away and had them immediately. The consommé was good but could have been a bit more concentrated but it was a great amount for just 2 tacos. The spicy sauce is AMAZING and indeed very spicy-you've been warned. The al pastor taco was a bit dry but had good flavors. The quesabirria was pretty good but the cheese really wasn't mixed in with the beef at all. So if you took a bite of the taco..in a normal way, you'd see meat only in the fold and the cheese on top of that, towards the opening of the taco, this was how it was all the way through both tacos, so it wasn't totally cohesive. I've had birria tacos from multiple places (outside of Atlanta) and never seen that before. For dessert, I had the churros which were really fresh and crunchy and had the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar, but the chocolate sauce tasted exactly like Hershey's chocolate syrup so that was a let down. CLEANLINESS: I didn't stay but the restaurant was really clean from what I saw. It was definitely comfortable and didn't feel dirty at all. The kitchen is also visible which is very nice. SERVICE: My interaction with the cashier was limited and was nothing to comment on. The woman that brought me my food was from the kitchen and she was really sweet to bring it over to me as I was waiting in the seating area by the front entrance. PRICE: It was about $23 for 3 tacos and 4 churros. I felt the tacos were actually fairly priced, but the churros while good, are a little over priced for the amount you get. OVERALL: Since i do live so close, I'll be back to try and re-try, but it was really only okay and I won't be recommending it to friends from my first and only experience thusfar. read more

Tuza is one of our absolute favorite places in West Midtown! They're a counter service joint, so you order at the garage around the back and then sit wherever you want and they'll bring the food to you! They've got an awesome covered deck, patio, and little individual outdoor booths to use as well as inside seating in the upstairs portion. They always get the food out super quickly and everything there is delicious. Our go to appetizers are usually the guacamole or the queso, both of which are amazing. If you get the queso I recommend putting some of their red salsa on it to give it a smoky kick! Every taco I've tried has been great, but I especially love their birria tacos. My husband likes to get the quesadilla because it gets him a bit more food than ordering a couple of tacos. The house margarita is only $8 and they're a strong eight dollar drink! You can add a flavor to it for free as well. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite to eat and hang out with friends, especially when the weather starts to warm up. Parking is a bit difficult because their lot is extremely small, so I'd consider carpooling if you have more than two different cars heading there! read more
