I've gone here several times over the years and I've never been overwhelmed by the service. The food is what kept bringing me back but it seems like they have changed/discontinued some items recently. On my last visit i was extremely disappointed with the drinks. I ordered my usual pomegranate margarita which didn't look anything like it and even confirmed with the waitress that she brought the right drink and then switched to a skinny margarita hoping for better luck but was still disappointed. I hope it was just an off night for the bartender. general observations: small outside patio, does have shade under table umbrellas, very small bar area, large covered back patio, always pretty crowded and usually has at least a few children so the noise is what you would expect from a full restaurant, parking is limited and shared with the other dresden dr businesses. read more

So we went to Verde this past Sunday around 5ish. If you love waiting on food and drinks, then this is the place for you. The hostess wasn't to bright when she sat 3 tables at the same time in the same section. Our poor waitress was busting her ass to try and keep up, but I think it was a little more than she could handle. I think she had a total of 5 tables. This is kid hq, don't expect anything quiet here. I know some people like it, others do not. The place does have good food and drinks, once you get it. Just a little advice; treat this place like a typical Mexican restaurant, when the waitress comes to get your order. Order everything at once! Oh and avoid the Organic Margarita, you are lucky if you get 5 ounces of margarita in that small glass with a ton of ice. read more

Great food, But PARKING IS A B****!! Went here on a Friday afternoon for lunch with my co-workers... I was thoroughly impressed with the food!! Now we waited forever to get a table, but it was a Friday during lunch, and the food made up for it!! They brought out some really fresh warm chips with salsa for us to snack on. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time since we were on time restrictions (had to get back to work)!! We got an appetizer while we waited for our orders, which consisted of Guacamole, Queso Dip, and more Salsa..... The Queso dip was off the chain, and it was enough to go around the table quite a few times! Finally, my food arrived and even though I thought my quesadillas would be small, and ordered a fried fish taco to go along with it. I did way to much!! LOL!! Anyway, I had the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla without bacon and it was fantastic!! I was stuffed by the time I left and I took my extra little fish taco home with me!! Great little spot. I'd eat out on the patio next time... Especially when the weather is nice outside. read more

The food is YUM. The tacos and taco salads are fantastic. The atmosphere is EHH. The place is filled to the brim with kids. Kind of okay, unless you're the only one sitting in the patio area without a kid! The prices are YES. Very good. Not much dinero gets you a lot of comida. IN SUM: definitely worth checking out! read more

Verde is definitely a go-to! Awesome tacos, great queso and guac! The two best tacos I would recommend would be the grilled fish taco and the buffalo shrimp taco. The buffalo shrimp isn't on the menu anymore, but they still serve it. Their jalapeno margaritas are also amazing...very clean and fresh. My only complaint is their salsa...it's more on the plain side. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants! Theres a nice patio to dine on in good weather and friendly bar staff. Each week they have a different taco special. Try the jalepeno margarita, It's my favorite thing on the menu! read more

I work nearby and frequent this restaurant often. The food is great but the service is not. Today, I called to place an order for pick up and the girl answered with a "hello" as if she was answering her personal cell phone, then proceeded to hang up on me. I called back and was placed on hold (nobody asked me to hold - the line just went from ringing to hold music). I hung up and tried to call back several times but continued to only reach hold music. I then decided to walk down to the restaurant to place my order since this was maybe due to them being very busy (I'm a few doors down so my walk only took seconds). The restaurant was not busy at all and there were 3 employees standing at the host stand. I told the girl (blonde hair, not sure her name) what happened and instead of apologizing she dismissed everything I said and tried to place my order. I was about to proceed with ordering but noticed the other two employees (male & female) standing there whispering and staring at me so I told them to forget it and walked out. Terrible customer service. I'll take my business somewhere that appreciates it. read more

I don't think Mexican food consists of fried chicken and buffalo chicken tacos and quesadillas. This restaurant is Americanized Mexican, so don't come here if you're looking for authentic eats. read more

The food is not only healthy but really delicious. Affordable prices and a great place to grab a bite during the week. The mommy crowd takes over on the weekend so it gets really crowded but I love to ear here during the week. Never had a bad meal. read more

Verde is consistently good! The trio is a must- their queso is the best. Try the weekly taco special. They are always great!

If you're looking for affordable tacos and margaritas in Brookhaven, this is the place to be. Best described as a slightly more upscale version of Tin Lizzy's with a growing menu. Nice patio areas in both front and back of restaurant. If you are going during peak hours, a wait is common - usually about 20-30 min - margaritas can make that time go by quickly. Food: These are $4 tacos, so don't expect to be blown away, but they are very good. Specials are always interesting, particularly the green curry chicken taco. Drinks: Margaritas seem better when ordered at the bar. Whenever my friends and I order from our table, they seem HEAVY on the sour and light on the Tequila. Service: Good Service - always friendly and food comes quickly. read more

I have been to Verde many times and will continue to go back. This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. I really haven't had a bad experience after the many times I have eaten there. There have been a few times where service has suffered due to being very busy, but I can understand getting slammed and caught off guard. I actually really enjoy eating at the bar when I'm not with a big group. Verde is not doing anything extraordinary. They just deliver quality food every time. The food tastes fresh. Chips, salsa, guac, cheese dip are all solid. I could actually see them opening a few other locations around the city - as its a great neighborhood restaurant. In all the times I have been, I have only sent back one thing, but that was when they first opened and hadn't worked out the kinks. It seems they have the food quality and consistency down to a science now. Suggestion. Work your way through the tacos. You will likely go back, so try all of them. They also usually have a special taco of the week and I have really enjoyed just about all of them - so don't be afraid to try their specials. All the tacos are good but my favorites are the Fried Calamari Taco, Steak Taco, and the (can't be good for you but tastes awesome) Buffalo Chicken Taco. Oh - and get a Texas Rita. Muy bueno! read more

this is a good, cheap spot to get different "mexican" food. They like to create new tastes with their tacos, so if you are feeling adventerous, this is your spot. Do not come here if you are only looking for a nomral, run of the mill taco. Service is great, and their cheese dip and salsa are also delecious. Lots of parking around the back! read more

Nothing special. Food was bland, had no flavor. All the bland and dried out Asian slaw on all the tacos drowned out the proteins Service was good though read more

Verde is a nice little taco and margarita spot in Brookhaven with a great ambiance. The tacos were great- I tried the calamari and shrimp and my husband had the buffalo chicken, grouper, and barbacoa. I loved my tacos, but my husband was underwhelmed by the grouper and barbacoa. He did say the buffalo chicken was absolutely amazing and we will be back for those again! We started with the trio appetizer (guac, salsa, and queso) which was quite yummy and each had 2 margaritas. Overall, it was a little pricey for what we got, but we will definitely be back to give it another shot. The service was quick and our waitress was very friendly. Plus, this place is walking distance from our house so we can't beat the convenience! read more

We actually ordered through Ubereats for this one. All in all a good experience. The fajitas and quesadillas were good. The guacamole was the deterrent though. It arrived more brown than green, but the rest of the meal made up for it. read more

Wanted to like this place so gave it another shot, but the experience from start to finish was terrible. We were seated on the back patio and waited 10 minutes before we decided to just go at at the bar because all we wanted was to order drinks. We got to the bar and we're ignored for another 10 minutes until the bar tender asked us if we wanted anything. We all ordered and watched the bar tender take the beers out of the fridge then left them on the other end of the bar instead of bringing them to us and got distracted for another 5 minutes before we realized he never brought them to us... I could go on but point being we won't be back. read more

I really hate to give this place such a negative review after one bad experience. But honestly I can't let this go unnoticed. This is right near my office, a place where we go to all the time for a co-worker's birthday, someone's leaving, a random Tuesday..... I went here with three other coworkers, sometimes the service is hit or miss. At times, you can get in and out of there pretty quickly but other times the service is a little on the slow side. Unfortunately, this time was one of those extra slow times. We had been there for a few minutes, the waiter got our drinks and we also ordered a side of salsa and guacamole. We sat and waited and waited, we even tracked him down at one point, and asked him if he could check on our order. We indicated to him that we have an hour for lunch and our time was limited. Unfortunately, his attitude lacked a lot to be desired. The only thing he said was that they were experiencing some computer issues and apparently some of the orders got messed up. Which, working in an office you understand because computers do sometimes mess up. After that, he never returned to our table. We had to track down another one of the waitresses to bring us some more chips, she also had a little bit of an attitude issue and clearly acted bothered that we even asked her. Side note: it looks like they have a whole new crew of waiters and waitresses, as I said before, I go here rather often because it's really close to my office. There was another table that we had noticed that arrived before we did, and they didn't have their food yet either. They went and talked to the manager, the manager came over to their table spoke with them, looks like he took down their order, walks right past our table as well as three or four other tables none of which had food yet..... and said nothing. It's understandable when things happen, but they didn't even bother to keep us aware of what was going on until we complained about it. This is the worst customer service I have ever seen in my whole life. We had to leave, as we had to get back to the office. The waiter clearly was never coming back to our table, so we walked out and left. We all figured they kind of owed us that salsa and guacamole after what we experienced. The food has always been consistently good here, I will say that. But unfortunately the customer service is a huge problem. read more

Bring back the sloppy Joe taco or we Riot and turn this review to a 1 star! It's was the best taco on the menu!

This place gets 5 stars from me! Verde is an oasis in Brookhaven where there are some really boring restaurants (with the exception of Terra and Haven) It's got great art work (some from owner/photographer) It is REASONABLY priced, the staff is so sweet, food is yummy and portions are sensible. I like that I walked away full, (not STUFFED) slightly buzzed, and with $ still in my pocket. I've visited four times since May 7. Try the little chili-soup read more

GREAT food! But alway has and wait and is VERY loud. They have great semi-fast service and the food is great. The kids meals are huge and come with a drink and are only $3. Everything on the menu is cheap and taste GREAT!! read more

My friend and I just happen to stumble upon this sweet little restaurant. Probably the best tacos and fresh salsa I've ever had. The tacos are so cheap yet so filling. I go there probably once a week. I definitely recommend if you're looking for delicious tacos and excellent service! read more

This place is good, but there are DEFINITELY better. Salsa & chips are extra and I was a little surprised at how small the cup of salsa was for the generous basket of chips. I had fish tacos which were good, but the portion was very small. Little to the taco other than a piece of fish. That being said, the frozen house margarita was delicious. read more

The margaritas were really yummy and thirst quenching. Each taco was a really good size and tasted superb. I really enjoyed the calamari and chimichurri taco read more

Bring back Barbacoa!!!!!!!! I love Verde and am so mad that you all got rid of barbacoa!

I realized I was taking a chance ordering tofu in my tacos, but come on - it was inedible. Check out the tofu at Whole Foods - it's not difficult to marinate some tofu in bar-b-que sauce & have it turn out well. On the other hand, the fried fish taco was okay. read more

Pretty good little taco place. I've been here a handful of times. I have to give a guacamole shout out as theirs is splendid (and I have high standards). They also have tons of taco varieties. Love the pulled pork and fish tacos. The music is hit or miss (loved the throwback tunes last Sunday) the service is also pretty good. Love the little outside option in the summer time. Pretty good frozen margaritas too! read more

First things first - I LOVE chips n salsa. Ive only been to verde twice but the trio was amazing! I'm pretty particular about my salsa and I'd say it's comparable to Pappasitos. Yum! The short rib taco was awesome, as well as the mango marg, but the waitstaff was subpar. read more

Overall, this is a decent Mexican place. There is nothing outstanding about it though. My food was ok. I ordered a chicken fajita taco bowl. It needed way more flavor. We also had guacamole. It tasted fine, but it was brown on the outside like it had been sitting for a little bit. I would go back if we were in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip there. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Brookhaven- it's clean, it's fast, it's tasty. My favorites are the chicken fajita taco (a bit spicy), the barbacoa taco, the buffalo chicken quesadilla, and the BBQ chicken quesadilla. The salsa is reasonably priced and their margs are delicious (strong though, beware!). I have probably gone 30 times this year and have had bad service only once! That's a great stat. Keep it up, Verde! :) read more

Love this place! They have special tacos every week. My fave is the brisket and pimento cheese! I urge you to try them, they are to die for. I only wish it was a regular menu item. read more

I dined at Verde Taqueria on 8/26 when my client took me out for lunch. When they told me that we were going to a taqueria, I had figured that there would be traditional Mexican fare offered. I was pleasantly surprised though when I got a menu and they had some unique tacos. Food: This place is definitely a great spot for a quick lunch that differs from that serves-up some unique combinations of tacos. Our table started with some tortilla chips and a trio of dipping 'sauces'. The trio came with Salsa, Guacamole, and Queso. The queso was excellent. It was super creamy, seasoned perfectly, and had a great consistency. Overall, the flavor was exactly what I wanted. The salsa was incredibly fresh. I loved the fresh tomato flavor coupled with the fresh cilantro and seasonings. Excellent salsa. The guacamole was some of my favorite guacamole...ever. It is actually very similar to mine and features avocados, cilantro, maybe some serrano, salt, pepper, and a little lime juice. Unlike many Mexican-themed restaurants, they did not over-lime my guac. Trio: 5 / 5 I got two tacos. Bang Bang Shrimp and Chimmichurri. First, Verde may want to consider a new name for this dish considering its stark similarity to Bonefish Grill's. Anyway, it was good. The chili-aioli had good flavor, the shrimp was seasoned well. I don't think I would order it again, but it was filling (3 / 5) The second taco I got was the chimmichurri taco. I am really like well-seasoned food. Unfortunately, the combination of the marinade, the chimmichurri, and the pickled red onions made the overall flavor a little bit too salty. It may have had a little too much flavor -- couldn't even taste the natural flavor of the meat. I make an Argentinian skirt steak with chimichurri and understand how it is a bold dish, but you still have to respect the flavor of the meat. (3 / 5) Overall Food: 4 / 5 Service: The service was OK. In fact, it may have been a little bit below average. In fact, now that I think about it, it pissed me off. See how quickly that devolved into anger and turned sour? So, the service was hurried and rushed, which is fine because it was lunch time and they were busy. I ordered one taco for the restaurant, and one for later. The one that I ordered for later I had asked for at the end after we had paid. The server handed us our paid-for check, and when I asked about my to-go taco, she said, 'Oh, the food runner will bring that to you". 8 minutes later, the food runner brings me my taco... You're telling me that you couldn't walk your ass back to the kitchen, grab my 1 to-go taco, and bring it out to me? You're too good to grab my food because it is a food-runner's job? That is bullshit. Wow, I am a lot more pissed about this than i should be. In fact, if I was not in the company of the client, I may have been a little more contentious. That is lazy, the opposite of being customer-service oriented, and rude. I don't care if 'Food Running' is not written in your little job description. It is your job to serve my table. And, now that I think of it ... so essentially, your only job is too take orders and fill drinks? WTF. If that is the case, then your service should have been 500x better. I served tables and had to balance 40 other duties at once in a busy 5 table section, and somehow ... some way ... I was still able to bring MY GUEST their to go order -- or box-up their leftovers -- or take a moment to stand and talk with them instead of being a snooty BITC- (you get it) and walking away like "Oh, they already paid, my job is done here.' Eff-That. Damn... Service: 0 / 5 Atmosphere: This place is crowded, and there is a lot of construction going on in the area, so eating outside is un-enjoyable. This is not their fault, but currently, be aware that it is undesirable. Because of how busy and small this restaurant is, it makes the whole experience feel cramped. Plus, the servers are too busy trying to turn-and-burn their tables, and not customer service-oriented. This makes the restaurant a little bit of a drag. I would suggest grabbing to-go. Atmosphere: 2 / 5 Price: The prices seem to be fair for the quality of the product that is given. Price: 3 / 5 Final Thoughts: I honestly did not realize how annoyed I was at that singular instance of ignorant service until I started writing this review. I worked in the food service industry as a manager, and if heard any of my servers passively refuse to go get a customers order because it 'wasn't her job' to bring the food out, I would have lost my $hit and we would have had a serious 'coaching-moment'. Totally unacceptable. If you are looking for a quick bite and in the mood for some eclectic tacos, then this would be a decent place to stop to quell that fix. Though, as I previously mentioned, I would grab them to go. Don't expect a server to give you your order though -- ya, that's the job of a 'food-runner'. read more

I will start off by saying that I was a bit drunk when showing up here but from what I remember the food was pretty good, not great, service a little slow, but overall the experience was pretty good. I will have to try it again whithout a hazy head. read more

I love Verde, and am so sad about the recent menu change removing Barbacoa (the taco and the meat for the salad) off the menu. It was the very best thing on the menu - please bring it back!! Barbacoa Verde = 5 Star Verde. #TeamBarbacoa read more

Service was adequate, even though it was busy. Tacos were fairly tasty - a bit more expensive than other taquerias, but also quite bigger. Salsa was fine, but not great. Guac was TERRIBLE - definitely don't waste your money on this. Overall, if you live in the neighborhood, this is a nice addition - definitely not worth a drive, though read more

I would give Verde 1 star but then I changed my mind, they should get 2 stars because I did like the food. I work very close to Verde, my co-workers and I used to come here or order food for lunch but because the bad customer service we all decided that we would not come back anymore. Last week when I came there with a co-worker to order something for to go. when we first got in, we did not know where we should stand/sit to read the menu so we sat at the table looking at the menu. the female receptionist came and asked us to come sit at the bar because that table is for dine in service. my co-worker got really unhappy and she left. I stayed. when i was ready to order (still sitting at the bar) that same receptionist asked me to come to the computer (at the door) so she could take my order. during the whole time, she treated me like I came there to beg them for food. Though I really like the food but I would never come again. I rather drive to the food court at Phipps Plaza for lunch than come to Verde and got bad service. By the way, this not only happened to me but it happened to many people I work with. Bye bye Verde. you lost me. read more

Overcrowded, undertrained staff run off their feet. They took the BEST taco, the brisket off the menu and expanded the menu with poor substitutes, if it isn't broke don't fix it... read more

Nice bar area with good tequila selection. Staff was kind and service was spotty. Wasn't thrilled about paying for chips and salsa. Queso dip was good. Salsa was just ok. Had the fish taco....which was fishy. Out of our party of 6, no one was very impressed. This place has potential, but they really need to ramp up the food quality and service. May try them again in 6-9mos. read more

This place is solid. Good assortment of overstuffed tacos and basic mexican fare. They usually have a daily special taco that's not on the menu - be sure to ask. read more

Great place!!! Super cheap and oh so yummy!!! Must get the pulled pork taco!!! Their margaritas are refreshing and goes great with their tacos. Must try!!! read more
