    Taco Salad with beans
    Katie E.

    Monterrey was just okay. There's not a ton a veggie options and the few that they have didn't sound very appetizing. My meal was just okay, not that great. There's better Mexican restaurants in atlanta.

    Piña Colada Monster
    Tyler B.

    Best Mexican I've Ever Had!!!!! Do not let the outside appearance fool you, as the best kept secrets are behind hidden walls. Absolutely the best hospitality and authentic Mexican Food on Buford Hwy! The prices for the drinks are without a doubt worth it- the picture I have of a piña colada is a "Monster" and was $11. The entree I chose (burrito/enchilada/beans/rice) $9.95- with complimentary chips and homemade salsa. Food is fresh and chips are always warm. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

    carne asada Tacos (Tah-Kohs)
    Grace L.

    Very good bang for your buck for these tacos. Came with complimentary chips and salsa (pretty spicy) and a whole arrangement of cilantro, onion, and salsa for the tacos. I didn't get a drink and the total ended up being $12. The carne asada was very standard and the service was amazing. We sat outside and it was alright, there was some noise from the street as it's right in Buford highway.

    So I UberEats an order tonight, the entire order was a mess. I called and the person that answered said to me he was the manager and that I needed THEIR address in order to check my order. I was in my car and couldn't find their address but I asked him to check my oder with my name, my phone number or my address he said he had over 50 orders and he couldn't check my order to give me a refund, he hung off on me, I called again and he hung off again. so I had to drive all the way to the restaurant where my husband got the refund of $15 for a horrible cooked quesadilla and an even worst burrito. My name was the first one on their computer that "the manager" was unable to get without me telling them their own address on my two phone calls. Plus all 4 workers inside the restaurant weren't wearing face mask.

I guess I must've written it off due to the parking situation, and I honestly would've never visited, but a friend suggested coming here, so here I am. It's very, very limited parking. I'm not sure if we're *allowed* to park in the nearby parking lots, and I didn't have to, but if there's only like 6 spaces with barely enough space for cars to pass through entering and exiting... idk, it's not for me, esp when Doraville can get v traffick-y and the turn lanes are just waiting. Interior wise, it's cute. It tries to invoke a sense of Japanese aesthetic with the shoji panels, all the wood and light, the fake flowers, and I don't hate it. It's a fine place to sit and chat, though I feel bad for others who want to visit because again, the parking here sucks. I got their black sesame latte float with a matcha and sakura (seasonal flavor) swirl. The sakura was sweeter than anticipated and not floral, which was a bit disappointing since I didn't like it alone or mixing with the matcha flavor. The black sesame portion was fine. I like the nuttiness of black sesame in general, and I would've loved if they used more for a stronger flavor. The flavor was subtle, and with the ice and soft serve on top, got easily diluted.

Many boba shops in the area charge more than $7 per drink, so we were pleasantly surprised to find quality drinks here for under $6. We'll definitely be back to try more of their beverages.

I reserved/ordered a cake on 03/24/2026 to be picked up on 03/26/2026 @ 9:00am (Today). When I ordered the cake I wanted something large enough that could give approximately 20 people a decent enough piece of cake to eat. The guy taking the order said a 10" cake is not shown in the display but it would probably be enough for 20 people. There was literally no special instructions, special messages or deviations from the same design that was in the display case. I asked if two days was sufficient time for this cake to be made and ready by 03/26/2026 at 9:00am to which he replied "the staff comes in at 3:00am and since it's two days it will be enough time". I paid and left. The morning of pickup (Today) approximately an hour before pickup time they called me from an unknown number several times and when I didn't pick up they texted me. They claimed they didn't see my order until this morning and that I needed to provide a week's notice for the type of cake I ordered (In direct conflict with what I was told on the day I ordered it). They then offered to push my pickup time back 3 hours and "try" to have it ready by then or give me a 7" cake and a 9" cake instead. After they messed up and didn't provide what I ordered in the first place, it's safe to say I didn't have much faith left in either of the alternatives they offered nor their word. I opted for a third option, my money back. This cake was supposed to be for a 96 year old grandmother's birthday and her friends. But never mind that, there's always next year, right? Potential customers be warned and make absolute SURE you VERIFY with whoever you're ordering about WHAT you're ordering before spending any money here. Edit: I will extend an olive branch and give one star back because they addressed the mistake and maintained communication in a professional manner.

TE'AMO is located at the same address as Kanpai BBQ and Shabu Shabu, and Lao Szechuan, in the very popular Asian Square. There is a big shared parking lot, but there are so many businesses sharing it that parking can be a little challenging at times. Fortunately, last night was not one of those times, maybe because it was still Thanksgiving and maybe most people were at home experiencing food comas. TE'AMO is the first business that people normally see as soon as they walk through the front doors, since it's directly facing the doors. The signs are huge, bright and eye-catching, and don't display any prices. The one sign that caught my eye before walking through the front doors said that there was a special - basically buy two drinks and get a third one free. This sounded great to me, since there were two of us and I was going to pay for two drinks anyhow. The two employees working were very helpful. We were originally ordering at the front counter, but were told that we could only get the buy two drinks get a third one free special if we used the order kiosk. Uh, OK. I was looking for two specific drinks for myself - a boba milk tea and a lemonade. The other drink ended up being a boba milk tea. The list of available drinks is long, and the employees were very happy to come around to our side of the counter to help us find the drinks we wanted to order. There were lots of varieties of drinks on the menu that I immediately stopped looking as soon as I ordered my two drinks - T-Original Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and T-Classic Organic Milk Tea. The service was quick and efficient. When the cups were given to us, although they looked cool because they were different, I was actually disappointed that the drink cups were sealed with an aluminum pull tab lid, the same kind that are found on the tops of soda cans. In my opinion, the pull tab lids on the TE'AMO cups were more difficult to fully remove and once the lids are pulled off the liquid can get splashed around in your vehicle if you're on the go. I also thought the price points were a little on the higher side than their competitors. The flavors of my lemonade and the boba tea were good. The boba here had a nice chew but it was a little sweeter than I prefer. There are tables and chairs to sit at inside, but I would not recommend coming here in a large group and staying to enjoy your drinks (or mochi donuts that they sell from a clear display at the counter).
