food is amazing been coming with my family for years and food never loses their essence. service is always kind helpful and fast !

Love this fast food concept for this super authentic Mexican restaurant. With the drive thru or walk up available (and open late) this has quickly become a favorite for me and my family. The prices are responsible and the quality is fresh and delicious. I usually order tacos. They come with 2 corn tortillas and spicy salsa. I normally get the lengua and pastor meats. I also love the queso. It comes slightly spicy so keep that in mind. Service is great. Sometimes I come and there is a long line of cars waiting and it usually doesn't take long to get your food. This spot is definitely a staple here in Norcross. Yummy read more

I've been going here for years, and as the years go by the quality just keeps going down. Don't come here. The customer service is not the best, the people there keep to themselves. Maybe it's because they started to get popular that they became lazy? But years ago even the bread was fresh. Today, I received nachos with a ton of craft cheese and meat... where are the beans ? There are better places, try don pedro. Their quality is much better read more

I saw a line at this spot when I was looking for another place and was intrigued. It's a drive-thru in a restaurant plaza and they have a menu like a typical drive thru but you pull forward to place your order. I initially went into the pick up line instead of the order line but quickly corrected my error. I ordered a Barbacoa taco and Torta; as well as a spicy pork taco. The tacos came with onion, cilantro and lime on the side. After placing my order I pulled into the pick up line and waited about 6 minutes for my order to be brought to me. I brought my food home and was excited by what I saw and ready to eat. The Barbacoa taco was okay 2.5. The meat was greasy and tasted like they fried it because it was crispy. I was expecting a more tender piece of beef that tasted like it was slow cooked for hours. The Torta was okay (3.5). The bread was delicious and fresh but the toppings and meat were meh. Not as fresh as the bread. The spicy pork taco was delicious(4). I did add a little salt and it made it the best dish of the night. This place is okay if you are in need of a Mexican crave that needs to be satisfied. I've had better other places in the area. read more

How sad that I always come to this place and today. Was the day I notice that I no longer will be supporting this place! I came in today order my food as always and right after I order a police officer comes in and order his food! Which was double my order and it just so happens that his food comes out before mine! I literally just ordered 3 tacos! This place is up and running thanks to us Latinos! And how sad that they have forgotten who their first clients were to support them from the start! read more

Tried the food today and I had to throw the whole bag away! Yuck! Don't go! The food isn't good no taste, no authenticity! The Agua Fresca was okay! I had Jamaica flavor. But I'm not going here ever again! read more

I'm so sad I found this place as I was moving out of this area but I'm glad I was able to experience it. I've lived one mile from this gem for almost five years and discovered it a week before I moved 30mi south. This place has everything you could ask for.. low prices, great food, fresh everything and it's so small that you're unable to stay long. There's a tiny eating area connected and it's only useful on a warm day. The prices are more than affordable and the condiments are fresh and cut daily. I've had the chorizo, chicken and steak quesadillas and they tasted like heaven. I can't tell you which one I like the best but I can say they're all 10/10 stars for sure! If you ever happen to pass by make sure you get one or try any of the other great delectables on the menu. read more

I was being extremely lazy today and wanted tacos but only a drive-thru so I visited here. It's a very small place so it's easy to miss. I pulled up to the drive-thru and the lady at the register seemed rushed because I was trying to look more at the menu. After you order, you give your money at the windows and they tell you to drive to the other side to pick up the food. They do have an option to sit in but it's really small so this would not be a place for a group. I ordered horchata and carne asada tacos. I was extremely disappointed in the horchata. It was very watered down and barely any flavor. The tacos were a decent size but they didn't have much flavor to them as well. However everything is fresh and the wait wasn't long to receive your food. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant since I was 4 years old and will continue to come. Love the workers & love the food.

Y'all. The flavors that I just experienced. The freshness, the authenticity, the quality!! I ordered the Torta de la casa and 2 barbacoa tacos thinking the Torta won't be that big at a price point of $7. Boy was I wrong. I had no business ordering the tacos and couldn't finish it all but I'm glad I tried the barbacoa taco. It was like pot roast on a taco - the meat was so tender and flavorful. The Torta was definitely the highlight for me but another reviewer was right - it would be nice if they would cut it in half to make it easier to eat. That was only a minor inconvenience because it was so delicious. I will be returning way too often and so glad I gave this place a shot! I can't wait to try some other tortas and introduce my family to these tacos. read more

Ghetto but good. I call this place GUT BUSTERS because it's great going in but painful coming ouch, I mean out.

food is horrible taste is no good quality of the food is poor it's a fast food place yes ok but any american fast food place will out beat the quality and taste this place sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This is literally a hole in a wall. At first glance you will be like WTF? This place has been here for years and their fresh food is the reason why its still existing. Their menu is simple but that is what makes this place special. They don't get overwhelmed with a crap load of items on their menu where they can serve it right up and fresh. To me this is the best place for tortas. The only thing that I don't like about the tortas is the melted cheese that they use but other than that they are amazing. They are not greasy like other places and their milanesa is cooked fresh. The food is cheap but it's good. I get a torta, 2 tacos and drink and pay $10. Some tips to this hole in the middle of a parking lot: 1. Place your orders at the window. As soon as you enter the sitting area there is a window on your right. A lady will come up and will take your order. 2. They are limited on English but they can understand it. 3. You pay after you are done eating. They take credit cards or debit cards. 4. There is a drive thru but like I mentioned on # 2 they are limited on their English. read more

El Grill - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

This place is a shack filled with magic. And by magic, I mean amazing tacos. I've tried al pastor, chorizo, carne asada, and carnitas. YAAAAAS to all of them! The meat is great, the tortillas are great, the cilantro and onions are great, the salsa is wonderful. I have zero complaints and recommend everything. read more

LEGIT. Very Courteous. Very authentic. Not much to say, you just cant go wrong. Don't over look it or judge this book by its cover. read more

Honestly the food is pretty damn good! The prices are not bad at all, Torta a la casa, Two Grignas ( Totally recommend) , Two tacos de asada and a order of Nachos de asada for $26 bucks. But we did bring our own drinks from the local gas station and I don't think they have a restroom or air conditioning lol but really worth a try definitely!! read more

El Grill - a menu on the wall of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

So why don't they slice they're tortas? Just saying. Make it simple for the customer. Torta was to bland and tacos were ok but pricey. Salsa they give is bland. The whole time I was ordering the lady seemed rushed and to top it off they forgot to give us our drinks. Yes, I take part blame but for crying out loud I had 3 kids in the car talking over each other. She handed my food and just said have a good day so I assumed I received my whole order until I got home and my daughter asked for her drink $26 for 2 tortas de asada, 2 tacos de lengua, 2 asada and 3 drinks I never received. Frustrated customer for sure. Never again! read more

This is a great little hole in a wall Mexican stand on Jimmy carter. I came across this place by mistake 7 years ago at that time I lived around the area.They are famous for there huge Tortas sandwiches, tacos and huge burritos. Great Staff, very small dining area. read more

The menu is very simple. Tacos are a bit more pricey than Don Pedro. Portions weren't what we expected. Steak nachos was as simple as the name. Tortilla chips, chopped steak, & a white cheese sauce. The steak was flavored to perfection. But the portion was incredibly small. Definitely wasn't what I had hoped for. Chicken burrito was just lettuce, sour cream, & chicken that was breaded, fried, & shredded. It was so dry & had more lettuce than chicken. I would've been better off going to Taco Bell for a chicken burrito. El Grill's $3.75 vs. Taco Bell's $1.29 What a huge disappointment... Chicken Torta was a pretty average size. But the chicken in it was the same. Bland, dry, hard to get pass. Hot Salsa was not like salsa! No spice to it at all & all I could taste was watered down tomatoes...like something out of a can..just bad. Steak Nachos - 2 stars Chicken Burrito - 2 stars Chicken Torta - 2 stars Hot Salsa - 1 star While the food could have been better, service wasn't terrible but it wasn't the best. I might give them another try then update my review. Idk, maybe I just caught them on a bad day. read more

The food sucked. They didnt include any hot salsa when I asked them to. And the food were not fresh at all

I love the tacos here and the cheese dip! Definitely one of my go to's after a long night!

I have passed this place off jimmy carter for a long while. Being from San Diego I love authentic mexican food.....so i have been very picky and just make my own at home. Because this place LOOKS LIKE WHAT WE CALL A TACO SHOP IN CA! I decided to stop. WOW!!! YUM! YUM! I ordered 2 taco barbocoa 1 asada steak taco and they were so HOT AND DELICIOUS! THE REAL DEAL. I WILL BE BACK AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LITTLE SHACK OF GOODNESS. Prices are reasonable. It is not a sit and eat spot unless its for 1 or 2 people very small porch to eat on. A great grab and go Taco Shop in norcross. Hoorayyyy read more

I've been going here for over 10 years, and they've always had THE BEST tortas... It's legit Mexican food and always super good. Of course it's a little shack that's pretty old and mostly just for drive-thru, but the food is the best. I always get tortas de milanesa and horchata (although for over a month they haven't had it, and I'm afraid maybe they don't make horchata anymore?). The bread is better, meat is, and I'm pretty sure they put beans on the sandwich which no one else does. Whatever it is they do differently, they should keep doing it. read more

Don't just drive by because it's a little shack in the middle of a parking lot. This place has amazing authentic tacos, very flavorful. The people that work there are extremely nice and the food comes out fast. Very very good. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

My first exposure to Mexican cuisine began in a Michigan taco bell circa 1979 after a morning of roller skating. Little did I know that it would take 4 decades to finally reach the taco mountaintop. And at the top of the mountain is El grill. Everything about each of their tacos is perfect. The tortilla is piping hot and flavorful with perfect consistency, the meat is juicy, fresh and delicious, and the veg/spice/herb mix is just perfect. Psyched to try the tortas (tomorrow probably) read more

I was hoping the food was going to be good based on the yelp reviews of others but... it wasn't. The chicken in my quesadilla was old and dry as in hard and stale dry. Hopefully I won't get sick. (God help me) needless to say I definitely won't be coming back here. I love Mexican food. It normally makes me happy but the food I had here made me sooo very sad. Literally the nastiest Mexican food I've ever had IN MY LIFE!... and I've had alot of Mexican food in my day O.K. I can't even bring myself to give them a 2nd try. read more

Worst service ever. I went last night the looked at us and did not even open the window for like 5 mins, asada is burnt and has no flavor boy I miss California and 3 dollars for one nasty taco. NEVER EVER AGAIN SAVE YOUR COIN. read more

I ordered nachos especiales tonight but they messed it up and gave me plain steak nachos just with extra salt in the cheese (cheese was skimped on too- wtf de happening? another Recession??? ¡A LA GRAN PUTA - HOY LA CAGARON! I'm dissapointed as they usually don't screw up this bad. FOR CHRISTS SAKE ,CHECK UR FOOD BEFORE U ROLL OUT! read more

This place is a cute little joint that sells great mexican food - the authentic kind. They have awesome tacos, the kind that come as homemade corn tortillas, shreaded carne asada (steak), chicken or pork, minced onion and cilatro - thats it. That simple little taco is sooooo good. I heard they have really good burritos too - haven't tried those yet, but I've had the quesadilla - really good too. This place sits in the middle of a parking lot in a large plaza thats on Jimmy Carter Blvd and faces Singleton Rd- its not hard to miss. They sell tortas too (mexican sandwich) which are very tasty too. This place gets really packed at lunchtime. I usually drive through their little drive through and wait about 10 minutes while they prepare everything. They only except cash so make sure you have some handy before you go. read more

Okay y'all this is the real deal authentic Mexican! It's in a shack off of jimmy carter blvd! I almost missed it a few times. When I did find it I thought surely this was a mistake.. Lol Despite the outward appearance I am SO GLAD I ate here! The food was delicious! I got asada nachos. They came with beans, cheese, fresh avacado, lettuce, and steak. the cheeae dip was amazing! They do have a drive through and a very small covered patio area w/ 4 tables! At ate on the patio. You walk up to a window and place your order and in about 4 min they open the window to let you know your food is done. It caught me off guard they didn't ask for payment before we ate. After we finished we went back to the window where she gave us the total and we paid. :) I will be back to this place! Yum! read more

Best place in Norcross , their quesadillas are perfect ; no grease at all. Unlike the other restaurants they are dripping w grease, but not these. Good for people who don't like grease I'd say. Also their horchata Is always on point.. Stays open late when everything else is closed & really craving tacos , come here read more

I give them to star for how rude they are everytme i order something but other than that they get a 5 star for food =]

I get a quick burrito or soft tacos from here every few day. Not nasty and sloppy. Good and cheap. Cool staff. Practicar tu espanol a little. read more

Best if you're able to order in Spanish but Spanglish works just as well. Try the carne asada torta, you won't be disappointed!

Authentic !! Of the chain !!! Nachos,tortas and tacos all A1 .. For a small spot it packing with good food .. U on jimmy carter don't sleep on it .. El grill got my thumbs up read more

Was craving tacos & nachos (bf), searched for Mexican cuisine in my area and El Grill popped up with great reviews. I had the chicken taco, shredded beef taco & pork gringa. My boyfriend ordered the steak & cheese nachos, both were GREAT. freshly prepared food with amazing seasonings. would definitely eat here again! read more

I always go there because they have the best and most authentic Mexican fast food. Hmmmmmm. I love the nachos and tortas (Mexican sandwiches). This place does look like a hole in the wall but the food is always delicious. They've been there since the 90s for a good reason. read more

As authentic as it can get. Hole in the wall but it's one of those "holes in the wall" that's delicious , inexpensive and fast. Their agua frescas are delish , Jamaica being my favorite. I wish they carried menudo. That would be awesome . read more
