    Shrimp tacos

    I wish I still had the tacos from earlier today. They were amazing. Which is why I ordered a second time for two shrimp tacos. Instead of one. You can imagine how disappointed I was to see the shrimp was a lot smaller dried out and all around presentation was not the same as my lunch order. This is very disappointing.

    Fish taco w/avocado added, skirt steak taco
    Corinne C.

    $7 for this much cheese dip should be a crime. The tacos were tasty at least and I appreciated the generous portion of lime and avocado. EDIT: The owner Alan responded to my concerns and sent me a refund, plus interest! What a guy. More restaurant owners around ATL should be like him, that is really putting the customer first and I appreciate it. Now I will have to make it my beeswax to check out the original El Tesoro location. Thanks again Alan!

    Veggie nachos
    Kandus J.

    Good food located inside Wild Heaven Brewing! My go to is the veggie nachos. It's a little pricey but the portions are usually big. You have to pay for parking now but you can get 2 hours free or snag a coupon code from Wild Heaven Brewing for free parking all day!

    Tostada
    Annabelle G.

    Delicious tacos!! The food here was great, the menu has a lot of options and there's a nice drinks selection as well. I got asada tacos which were so good, the tostada was only okay. Parking was kind of a nightmare but there's a small gravel lot across the street, I'd recommend going earlier for dinner there's always a long line but it goes pretty fast! It's only outdoor seating but the lights and vibes are definitely a vibe for a fun get together. Good food, just be prepared to stand in line. 4/5 food 5/5 service 5/5 vibes

    I really love the atmosphere and the service that I received at this place and walking in the cashier was super friendly and helpful, and every employee that passed by me, spoke to me. It was even at one point that I think the owner was there and I was standing there and he was like hey are you OK? Have you been out so very outgoing and friendly staff so let's talk about the food so I've been on a very specific mission to find the best Carne Asada in Georgia because I'm a southern California girl and more important I'm a San Diego girl. If you know anything about San Diego, we will argue with anybody professing that we have the best Mexican food in the world and although the Mexican food that I've eaten in Atlanta has some really good flavor the burrito that I have on this place out of town, the meat was seasoned perfect too perfection. I made modifications to their burrito to make it more like what I like from home so I removed the rice and beans and guacamole and pico de gallo and I think that impacted their rendition of the burrito. I will say that they use a much better grade of meat than what issues in San Diego. I believe they use flank steak and that is more expensive. However, I was disappointed by the amount of meat in the burrito and I think they overcompensate it with a guacamole and so that impacted the score I would've given them a five out of five, but I understand that if you're used to filling a burrito with rice and beans and somebody's just wanting meat, you're not gonna just fill it up with with meat will I ever eat here again maybe but if I do, I will order the food as they have it listed and not try to make modifications and I will go in there understanding that it is on the higher end of prices for Mexican food than I'm used to. I'm not used to paying $19 for a burrito and $22 after tip not saying I won't. I'm just not used to it, especially when I thought that the amount of meat was really low there salsa although I thought it was strange it was in a packet was 10 out of 10. I hope this helps. I hope everybody reads this and says don't make modifications to their food order as it is and that would probably be the best way to go about it.

    Nothing bad, just no standouts. Family atmosphere in being kid friendly in the new White/Lee area in West End. Plenty of indoor seating. Was having trivia on Tuesday and has events on each night. Food was ok in what seemed to be items made in the morning and kept on a steam table but in the kitchen. Drinks were premade with the frozen margaritas. Order in line and food is brought to your table.

    I ordered family nachos and a drink, and they gave me a small cup that was barely half full  You really can't make this up.

    I ordered family nachos and a drink, and they gave me a small cup that was barely half full You really can't make this up. I could've bought a 99-cent canned soda and gotten more to drink than what I paid $4 for here. Please go out of business if filling a small cup is hurting you that bad

    Steak burrito
    Shernell H.

    After doing a bike ride, I stopped here at El Tesoro, which is located inside of the Lee+White food hall in the West End. The portion size and cost is definitely a selling point here as it's filling and fairly affordable. Additionally, the food was made fresh and took about 10 minutes to come out, if that. Taste wise, being from Texas and being a huge fan of Mexican food, the burrito was just okay to me which prompted an average rating.

    Texas fajitas steam

    The food was spot on my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was what you would want it to be attentive, prompt, and willing to offer suggestions. Had the bulldog margarita thing was a little expensive and not very spicy however, the Mexican mule was great. We definitely go back again and recommend it if someone wanted Mexican in that area.

    Birria tacos are top notch! Thursdays only
    Britney C.

    Go on Thursdays for delicious birria tacos. It's a bit salty, but these are still top tier tacos. The meat is very rich, and I love how they crisp the shell. Andddd where else can you get a $9 margarita? Other honorable mention - steak Mulita. Just go, thank me later. Free parking & other breweries to visit. Picnic style sitting inside & out. Also has couches & tvs inside. Friendly service.

    Order: Aunt Viv Latte Hot…read more Pros: I thoroughly enjoyed reading my Black comic book, Bitter Root, while sipping this latte from a Black-owned business. Seeking a change from my usual cold brew, I decided to try this latte. It's located in the West End, so if you're looking for glitz and glam, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a good space, vibe, a little unexpected entertainment from the curb, and coffee made with love, then this is the spot! Cons: n/a Personal Note: So, this isn't a reflection of the businesses. It's more about my personal taste. I don't particularly enjoy cardamom as a flavor (New Discovery, lol). So, this drink wasn't for me, per se. However, the drink itself is actually quite good and well-balanced. I did finish it. It's neither overly sweet nor too bitter. The service was prompt, and it was great to see others who look like me enjoying a couple of joe.

Even on a rainy, chilly morning, the shop was crowded but we were able to find a spot to chat. At first, it was a bit quiet. I realize some people were there to work but given it was the weekend, the conversation volumes started to pick up and we felt more comfortable to speak freely . Nestled in my old neighborhood, a staple with an awesome staff that always makes you feel right at home.

    Cute coffee shop concept, but it's still a chain... so I will judge it like it's a Starbucks…read more The Lee + White location is SO so so cute - from inside the food hall, it looks like a phone booth door - but once you enter, you follow a short bright red hallway to the coffee shop. Doesn't affect the quality of the food/coffee, but still super fun. We had to try the instaworthy Blue Lavender Latte, made with butterfly pea powder to give it that iconic blue. Definitely a fun one to try - I like the hot version for the latte art! We also tried a snickerdoodle cookie and an iced latte - overall pretty standard fare. I'll definitely bring guests or friends who have never visited this location of Costa for the novelty - otherwise, I probably wouldn't venture this far out for coffee!

    My husband picked up some coffee for us, and it was pretty good. But what stood out was the food!…read more I ordered a gingerbread latte and that was delightful though slightly sweeter than I prefer. Definitely solid drink though. He got a lox and herbed cream cheese dill toast. This was delicious. Not too salty. Not fishy. Buttery texture. Every flavor just so balanced. And the bread was so thick but it wasn't hard to bite--you would think that would throw off the ratio but it was perfect. The star was this apple fritter biscuit! I thought it was going to be super sweet but it was a savory biscuit and it made it taste more like a pie! The apple filling wasn't overly sugary. The biscuit itself was like buttery and layered but had this caramelized sugar crust. It was so good. Since my husband brought it back, I can't speak to the interior or what it looked like, but he wanted to go back and wished we all could have explored it.
