All the sauce from the dripping wet veggies that were wrapped in saran wrap loosely
Gretchen S.

So I didn't even know this was a Don Pedro location until last night. Last time I went in December, it was still Mama's Chicken and Seafood, which apparently had been going downhill anyway as they had begun to serve spoiled sides. While out doing errands, I decided to swing by the drive thru and pickup dinner. It appears nothing much has changed appearance-wise, since it had been Mama's. Same drive thru and general outlook - not sure if the old owners are still here or not. In any case, I stuck with what I usually get at the Norcross or Lilburn Don Pedros and that is the Taco Dorados (chicken taquitos with veggies and guac but no rice and beans) and the enchiladas plate. I meant to order the enchiladas Mexicanas as I prefer the cotija cheese, but I accidentally ordered the suizas. It's an okay plate at any location, but they never use mozzarella cheese as advertised. As many restaurants like this chain are cutting costs, they just seem to use your average blended shredded cheese mix which makes it taste like something you'd make at home and gets kind of "plasticky" and rubbery by the time you get home. That was my fault though. Next time, I'll get the Mexicanas like I usually do. The staff were friendly enough, even though I was not greeted immediately upon pulling up to the drive thru. Took my husband saying "hello" for them to respond after a minute or two, but this is understandable as the inside was fairly busy, and this is a newer location. The prices seemed about the same as the other locations. So far, the Norcross location is my favorite in terms of drive thru speed, quality, convenience of pulling in and out, accuracy, freshness, and flavor. When I got home I was disappointed to see that there was a whole bunch of sauce inside the bag from dripping wet steamed veggies that were just served in saran wrap loosely instead of some kind of small container, cup, or ziploc bag. I understand cutting costs, but it was really nasty looking presentation and sauce had gotten all in the bag. Makes you not want to eat them, and I didn't. None of the other locations serve like this. Another thing about veggies - the tomatoes on both plates were spoiled smelling. I didn't get sick, but I also couldn't eat them and threw them out. Seems like overall, some quality control needs to be established at this location, although it may take a while, I know. The chicken taquitos were decent but not very flavorful compared to the other locations. Not sure if this has to do with seasoning or marinade, but they weren't anything special - just mid. The rice on the enchilada plate was okay but kind of dry. El Indio and El Taco Veloz have moister rice than all the Don Pedros I've been to sadly. As expected, the enchiladas suizas were just okay. By the time I got home, that blended cheese surely went rubbery. That's why I normally get the one with cotija cheese, but that's my fault, again, on not paying attention. Overall, it was a decent meal. Always nice to get a break from cooking and to have food to eat, period, but seems like they have a long way to catch up to the Norcross location. Lilburn location is still second in my book as they've forgotten things lately. Have not tried the Cobb location yet. I will be back, but I think I'll give them some time to get their bearings.

10/10 so clutch to have a restaurant in the local area that is open late and has a drive through. the food always hits the spot

Menudo

I love the food here, we've never had a bad experience with the food quality or taste. My only issue with this restaurant is the people working at night. The manager sometimes seems to not like his customers and the cashiers be having an attitude while taking my order. I get people have bad days, and they're allowed to, but it seems to be like that every time we go. Overall, the food is great and it always comes out fast and I think that makes my trips here worth it.

Bland. Not a fan of the food! They are open late so that gives them a point. Staff looks well put together, but the food is not all that

This isn't a date night spot (even though it should be), aesthetically speaking. But if you and your loved one wants a quick and delicious meal at an affordable price point, this is your place. Pay at the counter, get your number, and they'll bring it to you within less than 5 minutes. Except, they'll sometimes simply call your number in Spanish and only Spanish. I've made it clear that I'm not fluent in Spanish and they're trying to incorporate more English since they'll get a diverse crowd from time to time. Or, ya know, go back to just bringing my food to my number! This is bang for your buck! Dare you to compare any fast food dollar for dollar to here and tell me who fills you up more. Let alone the clear winner of quality, no preservatives, and unprocessed meats!

I've tried the carne asada, pastor, and cabeza but the cabeza is my favorite right now. The food is always good. The girlfriend got nachos and they were also good. Service They are crazy efficient in order taking and preparing the food. Ambiance Super casual spot, usually pretty busy but plenty of parking. If you come during a busy time, finding a seat might be difficult but it is well worth the effort.

I have…read morenever in my life eaten COLD GROUND BEEF ON A TACO SALAD. but yet he GASLIGHTS us and says that how ALL meat comes on a salad. It was so COLD you could see the FAT on the meat. The burrito my friend got was COLD to the touch. The cheese dip was COLD. The only thing hot were literally the plates the food came on. How do you cook cold food? I needed my soup remade bc I didn't know it contained cilantro, it took over 12 minutes. I asked about the soup and he SNAPPED at me saying it was still in the MICROWAVE. Why would my soup need to be put in the microwave? The soup was MISSING the rice and it was barely warm. If the soup comes premade with cilantro say we can't fix it without it. Don't act like its a whole problem to take the pico out and then snap at me because I'm allergic to it. *The menu didn't say the soup contains pico.* I was there a week ago and the food and the woman that served us was delightful. This week it was beyond awful. I only came back bc she was so nice and accomodating. This manager was a bad word to us. Snarky, grouchy and not at all understanding our desire for hot food. We were very pleasant and DIDN'T ask for any refund or free food, but he acted like we were the WORST people to ever sit down in his establishment and point out how cold the food was. CAN'T say it was a RACIST thing because it was a mixed group. Maybe it was a SEXIST thing. I dunno. I had on a headwrap, maybe that bothered him. I can make up all the senerios I want about why, bottom line, he was NASTY to us for NO REASON. We didn't deserve that. It was my birthday lunch, so happy birthday to me. YUUUUCK! Never again in life.

Great neighborhood place! Food was really good and the service was on point. I would return and I…read morewould recommend.

Ray taco is very easy to find and it's in the little strip mall nestled between and across from…read moreseveral apartment complexes, which means they have a fantastic customer base. On the one hand, they do not have a lot of parking, but on the other hand, most of their customers were there on foot as Weir most of the customers for the other businesses in the strip. We walked in and were able to order within about two minutes. The menus were easy to understand with pictures for everything and the staff made things easy as well. As we ordered and I asked for the Birria Burrito, they asked which one. I let them know that I had seen a video on TikTok about their Birria burrito, but that I hadn't seen it on their menu and that was what I wanted to order. They said it was the Birria Cali and that it was very popular lately. I mean, yeah- the video made it look phenomenal and the audio with it was funny. I had also, previously, seen a video about their Machete and wanted to order that because it looked awesome as well. They had 2! One Birria (beef) and the other was Governado (shrimp). We went for the Birria- of course. Honestly, the Birria Burrito had plenty of flavor and more variety in flavor due to the various fillings- Mexican crema, lettuce, guacamole, potatoes (surprising, but honestly VERY good), plenty of cheese, and the Birria (and the sauce is poured right in- which I think could be avoided). It was delicious, but it shouldn't have been served on the paper as the paper began to rip when I started cutting up the burrito. I had wanted to eat the burrito like a burrito, but the moment that I picked it up, it became nearly impossible. The burrito completely opened up and all the fillings started pouring out onto the paper. I was able to wrap it up again with about half the fillings, but the burrito tortilla was so wet that it was just a huge mess. I ended up eating half of the burrito with a fork. I don't know why they didn't serve it on a plate. The Birria Machete was super flavorful and simple, just Beria meat and cheese with a cup of their dipping Birria soup. It was also nearly 2 feet long! Very cool. I began to wonder if the corn tortillas for the Birria Machete were made in store. I asked- and they said they do make it themselves! The corn tortillas were the most flavorful corn tortillas I've ever had! They had texture and they were clearly NOT the type of corn tortillas that I get at most places, those premade floppy unflavorful corn tortillas like the ones you get in the pack of 150 at the grocery store. When I find out, I will let you know because the texture and flavor of the corn tortilla on the Machete was phenomenal. The place was packed when we got there. It was packed when we left. Clearly, they get plenty of business. Everyone around us seemed happy and content with their food and so were we. I will definitely be back for another Machete to try some other things as well. Give them a shot if you haven't been.

Then the menu prices become inflated without any notice. But for one of the "upgrades" or whatever the reasoning for the extra charge, it was only shredded lettuce along with a small dollop of sour cream and guacamole. It was rather sad. It's something you'd get standard at a chain restaurant like El Sombrero. Oh. If you get the consome, it will be an extra charge of $2.45. And they won't tell you that. But other than that, the food was good! I really liked how they had a separate birrias menu. Make sure you bring wet wipes because your hands will be oily. The birria sliders were delicious. Our strange total came out to be $16.90. Even with the $2.45 consome factored in, the total isn't $15.40. Since they were sliders, it's rather small. They're the size of the square dinner rolls but packed full of cheese, oil, and half chicken and beef. The beef was slightly more tasty compared to the chicken but both was just soaked with their variety of flavors. The birria quesadillas were $17.40. Even with the extra $2.45 with the consome, their math is not equaling $15.95 -- whacky! As for the taste profile, deliciousness. These three quesadillas were pretty massive. And like my sliders, they were equally oily and messy to consume. The horchata was really tasty. For a large, it was $6.75. It tasted different from other places. There was a nice rice flavor to it and less of the cinnamon flavor. Would I visit again? I think not. Good food. Prices were bleh, especially how it seems like we were charged more than their menu prices.
