Best guac in Atlanta. One of my favorite restaurants, but I can't give it five stars because of the damn smoke.

They discriminate if you don't look like them. I just sat at a table where waitress walked by multiple times and purposely ignored me.

El Myr is the typical hole in the wall Little 5 joint. It's surprising good and friendly. It's a little cramped, but it's worth it. The food is not strictly Mexican, but it's good and different in a nice way. If you don't live in Little 5 or Inman Park you probably haven't heard of this place. It's a nice place to get a beer and have a fish taco. read more

The customer service of my waiter was horrendous. Will never return. Never in my life have I been treated so poorly and with such disrespect in a restaurant/bar. Unbelievable. Food looked good but after an hour of waiting on drinks, we left. read more

The Pad Thai Burrito is amazing! The bartenders are very friendly too.

All I can say....home away from home. Jeff is AMAZING in the kitchen and has those dudes trained well! The mixed drinks are ALWAYS great. Danielle has done a great job coming up with new healthy fresh juice drinks. D's beach house is a perfect summer drink! Really though the food is always above par, the drinks regardless of beer or shots or mixed drinks are always reasonable priced. The staff is amazing and as long as you're not a jerk they're awesome. Elmyr is truly my "Cheers". If I'm having a good day, bad day, celebratory day, this is the place to go!!! Take a gander at the new painting above the jukebox.....my dude is lookin good next to the original Elmyr :) read more

I've yet to really figure out why anyone likes Elmyr. The atmosphere is pretty bad, even for a dive bar. The staff is rude. The food is mostly bland, and when it's not, it's frightening. Maybe it's for the grizzes. That must be it. Don't go here. read more

Music = 5/5 Food = 5/5 Service = 3/5 The Pad Thai Burrito IS something to write home about. Sometimes waiters can't do simple math. It's OK I know it's hard sometimes. Seriously though, you should go here. Just don't expect super attentive service; it's not the Olive Garden. read more

Still the best burritos in town. Haven't been here in years, stopped in last night on a whim, and Elmyr didn't disappoint. Got the fish burrito as I always do (did), with chips w/cheese dip & salsa. Fantastic. I like burritos in general, but usually only get to Chipotle nowadays. No complaints with Chipotle, they make good burritos. But do yourself a favor and go to Elmyr when on that side of town. Don't expect anything fancy, and don't plan on using the bathrooms, except to maybe wash your hands. Have to get back to Raging Burrito someday, too...they also make great old school burritos. read more

The Thai burrito is amazing!!!! I wish I could find a place in Las Vegas that makes this or I could have it shipped to me :)

It was late on a Wednesday night, and my girlfriend suggested we go to this place. I found it decent, and I compare to a late night Moe's. I ended up getting a shrimp burrito, and she got some nachos. The place has decorative graffiti all over it and in the bathrooms. We received good service that night, and we lived happily ever after. read more

A dive bar with Chipotlesque burritos. Food is descent and the drinks are what you would expect from a dive bar. If you're looking to fill up for cheap you can definitely do worse than Elmyr. read more

Waitstaff must have had a rough night when we same in. I've been here about ten times before but last night was the first time I had bad service. My server came to the table to take my order and I never saw her again until I was ready to leave. When my friend's food came out some of the order was missing. I had to go find my server after being done eating for 30 minutes to ask for the check. She never came back to get the money, another server came by to close us out. He tried to take the tip even though he wasn't our server. "You don't need change do you?" Why yes sir I do actually. After we left him no tip he chased behind us yelling out, "thanks guys".... so childish. Like I mentioned it's usually never a problem but last night was terrible. The food and drinks were delicious though. No problems there. read more

These people are the kings and queens of the shrimp burrito. I always order takeout because I hate cigarette smoke (it is a "dive bar") and today I got the best service ever from them, maybe because I got there early for the first time. Anyway if you are looking for a good burrito Elmyrs is the spizot! read more

I'm a local living about one min. from this place and I avoid it if at all possible. The food is ok, but the service is horrible! It's extrmely slow and the servers are rude. The only reason people go here is so they can feel cool eating at a bar in little five points. read more

Elmyr leaves me speechless. Plain and simple. Best burritos in town, bar none. Yes, the smoke is annoying as hell, parking can be atrocious and you may have to weather the occasional epically bad server(extremely rare) but all of that doesn't make me love it any less. There are plenty of restaurants in Atlanta that I love and get tired of through overexposure. Elmyr is NOT one of them. I could eat every meal here every day for the rest of my life. Go! Now! read more

I finally made the trip across the street and ate INSIDE. I expected bad service, as I had heard a few horror stories. I know, I know. You don't really know until you see for yourself. Well, was I proven sooooo wrong. We had excellent service. So, I figured I needed to update this review. Give eating-in a shot, even if you have heard stories from a friend of friends cousin's sister. Oh, and heads up, it's smokey. It wasn't bad the night I was there, but if you have a hard time with the smokers, this is not for you. read more

Don't come here expecting Moe's, Willy's or any other chain burrito joint. In fact, despite the yummy burritos, I would not classify this as a burrito place. It is more like a dive bar with delicious and cheap food. My burrito was overloaded with potato, corn and black olives for a price I couldn't believe. The drinks are under-priced as well. If you want some cheap eats and don't mind a dark and dingy atmosphere then El Myr is your place! read more

If you are looking for quick good food or cheap drinks come here! Its really fast and the food is delicious! I always get the chicken quesadilla and house margaritas. Quesadillas are always so perfectly cheesy. I tried the broccoli and cheese burrito(vegan option) two days ago and it has become a new favorite. I'm no vegan but I do appreciate good food! It's open really late and pitchers of beer are pretty cheap too! Only bad thing is, if its the weekend,especially at night. There is usually not enough seating. Its better to go during the day or on weekday. read more

VERY SMALL place. HIDDEN restroom...kinda cool. Great little spot to grab a bite or drink... or both and just relax. I don't know why I find this place relaxing...but I do. read more

Best Mexican food outside of Buford Highway. The prices are great (for the food and the drinks), and the food is amazing. I had the nacho burrito, which was delicious. read more

The place is somewhat a hidden gem for late night Mexican staples. The burritos here are quite tasty! Though I was very much intrigued by the Green Burrito, I opted for the Shrimp Burrito instead and was very happy with decision! Our margaritas were pretty good too. Overall, a very good experience... we'll definitely be back! read more

They pulled the curve down on this one. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. Drinks were good and delivered promptly. 3 out of the 4 dishes on the table were delicious. The 4th tasted like something from a school cafeteria- it was a steak burrito. Worst excuse for steak any have ever tasted. To their credit, they removed it from the bill. Fair enough. The smoked pork dish was delish, same for the fish tacos & shrimp tacos. Service was painfully slow and a bit on the touchy side. Just plainly tell us why others food is coming out ahead of ours! If I'm in the neighborhood and wanted this kind of food, I'd give them another try. read more

Cough Cough...I can't breathe. I'm not a particular fan of places where people can smoke where food is being served. That being said I'm not a fan of dive bars. If you are a smoker and you are looking for the dive bar experience, look no further. You have found it. The people are friendly and it seems like a hipster, funky dive bar where it's dim yet somehow the sunshine still makes it way through the windows. Enjoy. read more

Hands down this is a hidden gem located in the lil 5 section of town. From the outside of the spot you would have no clue that good mexican food was located on the inside, but it is. Its a real hipster spot, so its loaded with cool cats just vibing out. The bar is super smokey so be prepared for that. Now on to the food and drinks, the margaritas were poured with a heavy hand so that a win. The nachos were packed with meat and cheese so thats an absolute win when you add salsa and guac. The burrito was wrapped in a spinach wrap which set that burrito off. Again this spot is underrated for mexican in the city. Man sure you are prepared to smell like an ashtray when you walk out. read more

Atmosphere is dark and smoky. The food was mediocre and the service was worse. It seemed like we spent our whole time there waiting on our waiter to come back to us even though he only had three tables. The food was OK but certainly didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. read more

One of my favorite places to grab a quick, healthy and hearty dinner in Atlanta. Vegetarian friendly. I love the nacho burrito (okay, maybe not so healthy), and the side of potatoes (definitely not healthy, but cheap and yummy). I always end up taking leftovers home, because the burritos are HUGE! They've also got pretty decent prices on beer. read more

Slightly small, but they don't mind if you stand around drinking while you wait for a table to open. Decent beer selection, CHEAP tasty filling food with a lot of veggie options. read more

Horrible Service- brought 2 co-workers for some delicious margaritas and burritos. Our waiter whom i could only really identify as looking: bored, unshowered, w/ a tattoo of a Obamas face near his right elbow- provided little interaction (couldnt really see him engaging with any of his tables). It came time for the check. In an effort to make conversation I stated we were headed to the theather next door to see a friend perform at a show that that started in 20minutes- We asked if 3 items could be split to a seperate check. He a said "sure" and disappeared for 10mins. At this point a coworker goes to the bar and provided him our credit cards. He got aggitated with her..Claiming she "ran him down" and that he wouldnt split the check because it was not restaurant policy.... the table next to us had just split their check 4 ways... She finally comvinced him and it took another 7mins to get our cards back. NOT SURE WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD. Maybe it was because we dressed in work attire and didnt fit in? The food was delicious as usual, but I think the location could work on employee engagement, and interaction with the customers. Customers come back and spend more $. Invest in those relationships. It may be a long time before i return. I have taken a few friends here in the past. And my husband and i stop in every so often. read more

I heard the "Legend of the fish taco" at some place called Elmira's in little five points. I have been looking for it for months. Finally today, I was passing by, saw some of my buddies bikes (only dudes that ride old Triumph Bonneville's, Nor tons and 1950's Harley's in Atlanta). Went in and they told me it was El Myr's. Wow .Found it. Fish taco was a religious experience. Amazing. best in Atlanta. read more

I'm from Atlanta and man, do I miss this place. Great music, good food, and good service. Of course, Friday and Saturday nights are NOT the times to come here because this place fills up quick, but come here on a Sunday afternoon after a late night out and El Myr does the trick. The bar staff are super friendly and they always have metal blaring from the speakers. What's wrong with a cold beer, a yummy quesadilla, good people, and Slayer? NOTHING. read more

We were looking for a place to eat before seeing a show at Horizon Theatre and came across El Myr, what a cool little find. The atmosphere was eclectic, the service was fast, the food was plentiful and cheap...what could be better? We ordered chips and salsa and I had the chicken quesadilla and my friend had the breakfast burrito. The chips were on the thick side but they did have a fresh crunch to them. My quesadilla was humongous as was the burrito. I'll be returning the next time I'm at the Horizon. read more

This place is a great find in Lil 5. I am allergic to smoke and still go there for the barbque chicken quesadilla and red stripe beer. GReat!!! I could sit there if it was not sooo smoky and just chill out and enjoy my meal but the smoke can become bothersome. Anywho, great cheap spot! and yes the service can be crappy but the food makes up for the service. I would be curious about the health rating, but oh well. hahahah read more

Food was GREAT!!! So good. Beer was cold and food was awesome. It def had the little 5 vibe, which is very laid back. I will go back.

Good, solid burritos. I'd give this restaurant 4 stars for the food, but 3 for the whole experience. I had read the Yelp reviews already, so I tried to mentally prepare myself (smoking allowed, rude service, etc) but I guess since I've lived in a smoke-free-restaurant state for so many years I just didn't remember how awful a place can smell... even though I didn't see anyone smoking while we were there for lunch, it just smelled like musty, stale, old smoke. Not appetizing. But anyway, I was pleasantly surprised that our server was perfectly nice, since I had read some negative things. Also, we had no trouble parking because we got there right after they opened for lunch, but it's a pretty small parking lot behind the restaurant, so I can see how parking would be tricky at busier times. The menu is amazing, so I still want to go back on our next trip to Atlanta (maybe for carry-out though), because this time the burrito I got was great but not like the best burrito ever or anything. The Green Burrito was pretty spicy, and very huge and delicious. I was wary of broccoli on a burrito, but they cook it perfectly so it fits right in. My husband tried the Brunswick Burrito and he said it was good, but not amazing. There are just a lot of unique burritos on the menu that I'd love to try, so I think if I get a chance to go back and try them and they're as good as they sound, I'll have to re-review and bump it up a star. read more

Food and margaritas were fantastic. It's a bit warm and sticky in there, but the drinks will make you forget about that. I'd give it 5 stars but the service was rude (from what I've heard thats normal here) and they basically ran us out of there before we were done. It was an overall good experience but I'm not sure I'd go back. read more

Cheap, fast, punk rock burritos. The quesadillas are massive, add potatoes and broccoli for a truly filling meal under 10 dollars.

Met up with some friends here the past weekend and had a blast! Parking in the back was easy. If not there's a paid lot next door that costs $5 I think. People PLEASSSSE try the Jalapeno margarita! I had 2 stood up and the table almost came with me! So spicy (which I like) and the liquor was poured heavy! The queso was good but the guac and salsa were soso. Overall I'll be back! read more

I wish i could give this place zero stars. The food is ok but it doesn't make up for the shitty attitudes from the staff. Rudest people ever. Too many great restaurants in atlanta to ever settle for this place. read more

I've been going to El Myr for years and while I've experienced a few hiccups in service, I can say overall the staff is on point and friendly. The food is great and the environment is mad cool! This is not a faux hipster hangout, these are mostly your locals...real people. read more
