I had the chicken and beef birria tacos with consommé, cilantro rice, and black beans. My partner went with the steak and al pastor tacos, Mexican rice, and refried beans. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, they definitely don't skimp on the fillings. The margarita flight was also a fun choice and a great way to try different flavors. We noticed they also serve huge shareable cocktails and oversized shots that looked like a blast for groups. The atmosphere is lively, especially later in the evening, with a younger crowd and a fun, energetic vibe that makes it a great spot to hang out with friends. The only thing that rubbed us the wrong way happened right after we were seated. Chips and queso were brought to the table, and we naturally assumed they were complimentary, similar to chips or bread at many other restaurants. After we had already started eating them, our server came back and took them away because they weren't included. Our waitress was otherwise friendly and provided good service, but that initial interaction felt a little awkward. A quick heads-up when placing them on the table would have avoided the confusion entirely. Overall, the food, drinks, portions, and atmosphere were excellent, and that small misunderstanding wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise fantastic experience. We'd definitely come back the next time we're craving tacos and margaritas.

As soon as we were finally seated we were given a bowl of fresh chips and homemade salsa. Starting off strong with a Michelada and margarita, we perused the giant menu while our appetites only grew. The tacos are the main attraction here. Al pastor started off strong at 5/5 with a perfect sweet and smoky balance. The tripe tacos were a solid 5/5, grilled perfectly with the right amount of char. The homemade tortillas are the crown jewel here, turning good tacos into great ones. The guacamole is exactly what you expect, simple and comforting while the charro beans are the best I've ever had, seriously. Service is top tier and food is served quickly, which elevates the whole experience. I've been twice and I'll be back for another marg!

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.

Ordering was easy as we got a chance to preview the paper menu, and we were given a card to place on our table once we found it. There was plenty of seating options despite the full lot, but it was nice out so a lot of people were out on the patio with views of the busy intersection. The decor was modern and airy. We checked out the salsa bar while we waited for our appetizer and I found the jalapeno roasted garlic, which was spicy and amazing!! Our appetizer was the con queso and I added chorizo, which I highly recommend.

Halal tacos in a small store in a gas station - how can you get more authentic than that?…read more The meats served here are all halal, which is great! I got the beef Birria, steak Birria, and barbacoa tacos. The consommé itself was a little watery and tomato-y, but the tacos themselves were of decent quality and flavor. The beef Birria was better IMO than the steak, which was a little chewier. The barbacoa was definitely hands down my favorite - out of them it was the most flavorful and tender. The salsas they gave on the side were good too - spicy, tangy. The seating in the store is very limited (only a few tables, not well spaced out), large groups would be hard to accommodate.

I believe the meats here are halal. The crust of both the taco and quesadilla were crispy and had a nice cheese crunch. But trying other birria spots, these were okay. Good but nothing that would wow. The consome dip was actually pretty watered down. I know places make them differently as I've had versions with meat bits in them and another with rice. But their version was just watered down. The shrimp ratio was pretty sad. The beef is actually more bang for your buck. Though I didn't truly count the shrimps, there were about 3 or 4 of those baby shrimps. They didn't look nor tasted like they were doused in flavor. The shrimp was just so so. Sort of bland in taste imo. The beef had a nice kick of flavor. There was a good amount of beef to my surprise. Another friend's beef taco version looked like it was stuffed with meat as well. There was just ample seasoning and flavor with the beef. Psst. If you're thinking x3 tacos vs x1 whole quesadilla, go with the quesadilla. You're sort of getting another piece since the quesadilla is cut into four quadrants versus just 3 tacos. Though it's a different form on presentation, you're going to be getting more for the same exact price.

Pulling into Las Cuatro Milpas Atlanta, the parking is kind of tight; however, there are quite a few spaces, just be prepared to squeeze. LoL! The front is all glass which allows you to see inside before getting into the restaurant. I was excited to see it was spacious and clean. As I got inside of Las Cuatro Milpas Atlanta, the aroma that captured my nose had me ready to order one of everything. As I looked over the menu, there were sooooooooooooo many optionssssssssssss and I had to take a moment to take it all in. It was a battle between the Tacos, Burrito, or a Quesadilla. I got to the register and decided on the Birria Tacos with a side of Chips and Salsa. As I placed my order, the young lady asked me if I wanted everything on my tacos, as I began to say yes, she started naming what everything was and she said 'avocado' and I was like 'hmmmmmm.' Avocado on birria... why not... YES, everything! I placed my order and took a seat and waited for my order to be finished. Once my order was done, I got my food, checked my plate and oh my goodness... It smelled and looked absolutely amazingggggggg. The birria tacos were so meaty and juicy, The aroma was so intoxicating. You could literally smell the seasonings. My taste buds were ready to taste. When it came time to eat, I took a bite and fell in love. I now understand why they put the avocado inside the birria. The pairing of the fresh avocado with the slow-cooked, well-seasoned beef made for a creamy, flavorful, mouth-pleasing moment of joy. The traditional avocado flavor profile of mild (texture), creamy, and buttery, with subtle nutty notes take the back seat to the complex and savory flavor of the birria meat. The dominance of the various dried chiles, herbs, and spices adds layers of earthy, smoky, and spicy notes to the taco, and that's before you dip it into the consommé. The Chips were fresh and had the perfect amount of salt and crunch. The mild salsa was slightly bland; however, the spicy salsa was delicious and full of flavor and texture. Overall, my trip to Las Cuatro Milpas Atlanta was AMAZING, and I will be back again for the Birria as well as to try everything else on the menu.

A must try! Food: delicious…read more Service: quick I ordered from them on DoorDash and I was pleasantly surprised. They live up to the 4.5 rating from +2k persons on DoorDash. We ordered the fried chicken tacos, shrimp tacos and queso. The fried chicken taco was good but not as crunchy as I thought it would be. It comes with 3 and some awesome pinto beans. The beans were packed with flavor. This is a satisfying portion for the average person. The shrimp tacos were bomb! If I had to choose I'd definitely take it over the fried chicken taco, even though both are solid. FYI the shrimp is fried even though that is not specified on the DoorDash menu. The chips and queso had a good flavor and texture but would've been better if we would've added the jalapeños or chorizo. It comes plain with no mix-ins unless you request them. The food was still hot and fresh when we it arrived earlier than initially predicted in the app. We haven't been in person yet but this seems to be a hidden gem in the West End. Make sure to look for it and DoorDash. They are also open late for when you need something good to eat after hours.
