Unexpectedly stopped by prickly pear after some fun at the battery, and was pleasantly surprised with their menu options and their taco Tuesday deals. For less than $40 we were able to get four tacos and four drinks on a Tuesday night! Parking was free and the restaurant was easy to access. The ambience is very vibrant yet quaint, and it wasn't packed at all, we loved the music and the energy of everyone there. I would definitely book reservations at prickly Pear again! read more

This place is a cute spot has a lot of great vibes. I went here really late at night because it was one of the places that were staying open late on the day that I went during the week. The bartender also gave me a free shot of a specialty drink that they created, which was a tequila infused with pineapple, vanilla, bean, and other items and it was so tasty. I did just only come here for a drink, but definitely wanna go back to try out some food and other drinks.. their service was fast and the bartender constantly checked in on us. read more

This place was so cute on the inside! I came and was one of the three people sitting inside on a Saturday for brunch. The aesthetics were everything! The service was perfect. The waiter was very attentive and maybe even the manager? I'm not sure who the other person was, but he seemed like the manager on duty. The food was fantastic! I was in love with everything that I had. I have a thing for short ribs so that was and automatic win and was indecisive on what other taco I should get so I asked the waiter to pick my other one and he said the brisket was the next best one... in his option. But they were both amazing. I would definitely come back her for drinks! I also did get a mango mimosa. Did not disappoint. Definitely will be back! 10/10 read more

A quick disclaimer, we did visit on Cinco De Mayo, which is notoriously one of their busiest days of the year and I certainly took that into consideration while we were there. We made a reservation in advance, especially because we knew how busy it would be. There was not anyone available to greet us at the front when we arrived and it took us quite a while to get seated. There was a line of us waiting for a greeter to come by and a lot of confusion about what was going on. It took almost 20 minutes and two different members of the staff to confirm our reservation before we were finally seated. The decor was very cute! They took time to decorate for Cinco De Mayo and were giving out sombreros. They had different events on each day of the weekend to celebrate the weekend. They stated that there would be specials but everything listed on the regular menu was the same as the listed Cinco De Mayo specials. It did take quite a while for our waiter to come to our table and even longer for them to put in our order. By the time our appetizers and food arrived, we were very hungry. Unfortunately, several items were forgotten and we had to remind our waiter repeatedly before they were brought out to our table. I genuinely don't think it was anyone's fault, it was just very very busy! The food was average and a bit overpriced for the quantity that you receive. You order the tacos a la carte and they do not come with any sides. Each one is ranging from $5-7 dollars for a single street taco. It can add up very quickly! Especially if you want to include a side. It is helpful if you're interested in trying several different options. I did get any pictures of my food by the time it came out but the Pollo Tinga taco and the Bang Bang Shrimp were some favorites. I also ordered a Prickly Pear Margarita, which was absolutely delicious! That was the highlight of my meal. Overall, I would like to try Prickly Pear on a night that's a little less busy. Hopefully the food and service will be better next time! Completely forgot to snap pictures of my food because I was so hungry but will make sure to take some next time. Happy Eating!! read more

A good time was had! I love this little place....... Really good vibes! We tried the prickly pear margarita.....It was amazing and the roasted chicken skillet did not disappoint.

Really enjoyed this spot! HOW CUTE! My mom and I popped in for a quick meet up tonight while I was in town. My boyfriend and I were staying right across the street at Annett and it's the perfect location. The bartender Erica (and I cannot remember the name of the other bartender) were AMAZING and had us laughing all night. We didn't get much to eat, but I did try the bang bang shrimp tacos and the chicken tortilla soup which was FIRE. The drinks did not disappoint either. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot and I cannot wait to go back. Especially for Taco Tuesday's ;) read more

Convenient location and huge selection of tequila. Had a lunch on Friday and sat on the porch. Very spacious overall and very nice setup. Very welcoming at the entrance and nice decor. Menu was good, lot of choices and reasonable. We took lunch specials - $10 each with a combination of 2 chicken taco & tortilla soup, and 2 enchiladas with rice and bean. It was alright, and not hot as expected. Not as filling as expected. For the price and place, it was decent. Seems like the people were really enjoying the tequilas. read more

Visited Prickly Pear on a Tuesday, due to their Taco Tuesday Special. The Fiancé & I swore the board had a few tacos and a couple of beers on sale. We forgot what the board said, so we asked our waitress who advised there was only 1 taco and no beers on special? Ok? For context we were my Fiancé and I were at a table, a small family (being assisted by another server) and a couple that sat behind us. Inside there was 2 occupied tables and folks @ the bar, being waited on by the bartender. Our waiter took foreverrrrr to return to our table in any instance, whether it was was greeting us & getting our drink orders, returning for us to ask questions about the specials/ menu, checking in once bringing our food, seeing if we needed refills. No matter what it was, he was always missing & we had to tap other servers for assistance. Once our food came out, everything was very, very good! Meats on the tacos were very good & well seasoned! The Elote was delicious & the sweet plantains were sooooo good! The nachos were tasty too & the chips , you can tell, are made fresh! The only thing I'd change/ add is salsa for the tacos. We were told there was no hot sauce either :/... The food was good, however the service could use some much needed work. We asked for waters to go and the server said he had to go next door for water?! How?! Why? Lol You were bringing out carafes of water? Something about the service is off, but the place is beautiful inside, nice size bar too. The outside seating is nice as well, however, a few m landscaping tips that should be considered: 1. the planters with your cactus should be filled/ topped with sand without the ability to catch water at the top of the plant. Sitting water attracts bugs, which can be a nuisance while eating. But also have the capability to rot your plants, which can also bring other small bugs and mosquitoes while dining 2. The flower baskets hanging outside of the fence where tables are located have pollinator flowers, which attract bees while in bloom! This can also be an annoyance battling bees while eating your delicious elote! Lol Last Suggestion, possibly consider small menu cards or a location on your menu that lists your daily specials would be helpful as well! read more

Came here after work on Friday. This is a new restaurant that opened end of 2022 and is still kind of under the radar. I didn't even know it was there if not for the work people who told me about it. We sat at the bar on the covered patio. The space is nice, and the bartenders will take good care of you. I ordered a spicy margarita, and it was decent. I also tried the paella. Good, but I wish the chicken was cut up and cooked with the rice. Instead, it was just a large piece of grilled chicken on top. Overall: good service, full bar with an extensive margarita selection, plenty of parking, patio. read more

Had so much fun w my homegirl just drinking tequila and eating tacos. They have so many different options of. I would say my favorite is the buffalo taco. I smashed on all of them really. I think I got asada, carnitas and 2 buffalos. All were pretty good. I left stumbling out tho! The service was cool at the bar, we had two adorable guys and they were super chill. The ambience was intimate and cozy and gave the right vibes for a Saturday Brunchy Brunch. You can tell from the pictures I was slurred. Thanks Prickly P! read more

The chef said that they didn't have any food that someone with a gluten allergy can eat. This was so strange because almost all Mexican food is naturally gluten free. I said that I'm not super sensitive and don't have issues with food that is fried in the same fryer as food with gluten, but he wouldn't budge. We ended up leaving. I do not recommend. read more

My friends and i came here for a new year's dinner. I have seen this place before coming to smoothie king but noticed the positive reviews and decided to try it out.

I will return. read more

I met a prospective business partner for lunch. I've had happy hour and dinner there as well. The food has been fantastic every time. I love the Pulpo (Octopus). It isn't as good as in Galicia, Spain, but it was better than many other US restaurants I've tried. The service has always been very friendly and quick. My lunch visit wasn't very busy and we were well taken care of and quickly. At happy hours, on the patio, service was great. It a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable. I would recommend visiting Prickly Pear. read more

This restaurant is so beautiful from the food, the staff's energy with the customers (and their team working together) and the building decor inside and out match the pictures. I went to Taco Tuesday last night. I'm vegetarian and the food was seasoned to perfection. I was only going to get sweet plantains and a taco but after the raving review from the bartender of the street corn I had to try it as well. And he was right it's so good. As a vegetarian/ vegan I've come across a lot of places that rely heavily on meat to be the food seasoning but nope not here. The food tasted so fresh. The sweet plantains had a delicious caramel crust and came with a dipping sauce (kinda like a cream cheese icing sauce). The sauce was served warm. The asada cauliflower was crispy and not overly cooked. The salsa on top was seasoned and not just diced tomatoes. Now the street corn... first thing, just know it's on the cob only. But if you're worried about the mess, it's not that messy but it's worth it. It's so juicy. A must-try. The ooooonly negative I had was there were a lot of mint leaves in my drink. It tasted delicious but it was hard to get much of my drink without having to try to maneuver my straw around the ice & leaves. BUT the bartender was a doll & was so nice to everyone. This place is a great date night spot or a place to catch up with friends. I'll put this place on my "return to" list for ATL read more

I came here to surprise my cousin for her 33rd birthday, and it was absolutely amazing. Walking in the ambience was nice and dim, but not too dark to the point where you could not see it. Kind of reminded me of a nice chill upscale lounge. The drinks were absolutely amazing. We had the best Bartender in the best waiter anyone could ever ask for, shout out to Felipe. We had eight people in our group, and he cater to us so well you couldn't even tell that our group was so big . The Ahi Tuna taco was straight . I was only expecting to eat one taco, but I ended up getting too because of how good it was. It was cooked to perfection and the Mexican Street Corn was the icing on the cake to everything. I highly recommend anyone that's close to this place to check it out, especially on Tuesday, Taco Tuesday, because that's when we went and it was up! read more

Arrived to Prickly Pear Tacos Tequila restaurant for Cinco de Mayo this year and really enjoyed the Mexican atmosphere from the art on the wall to the selfie wall. This was a great day to enjoy margaritas and we had a pitcher special they were offering today. That pitcher was more than enough for the five people at our table along with each of us taking a nice shot of Milagro Tequila. . We enjoyed a platter of nachos and a few steak street tacos which were to really amazing. The food was good, drinks were just right and the service was pretty good. I will definitely returning here to try their empanadas. read more

Food was delicious. The tapas each one was more delicious than the last. Atmosphere was so cozy and fun.

Visited on a fall evening for tacos but I wasn't impressed. The ambiance is nice a bit dramatic but nice & they had Monday Night Football on. I got 2 Pollo Tinga tacos, a Fried Pollo taco, 2 Buffalo tacos & a Pollo Traditional taco. $30 for 6 tacos . There is outdoor seating and there are other good places to eat not far. I think they are trying too hard to make unique food instead of simply making good food! I wouldn't return and I live very close by. read more

My bookclub hosted our meeting there today. Very cute location. Food was just your normal tex mex. I had a really good spicy margarita. My server was super attentive. I tried the tuna taki taco but it was a bit over cooked. It had good flavor though. My friend had the salmon chips which was abit salty. I loved the ambiance and drinks. Probably would go back if it wasnt so far from my house. read more

Found hair in two of our dishes. Ruined our appetites. Drinks and atmosphere were nice but again, the hair in our food turned everyone off.

This was a nice surprise on Powers Ferry. We sat at the bar and we're just there for a margarita but ended up eating. It's a bit pricey but we enjoyed everything. The margaritas were good. The tacos were good, they offer both flour and corn tortillas. The decor is beautiful, it's nicely lit and fun/vibrant. The bartender was very attentive and let us know she just started that job a couple of weeks ago. I think it will be a nice summertime spot. read more

Ok let me be the first to say I am so glad this restaurant is here. I went for the first time last Friday and can guarantee I may be here every week. The food is amazing, the staff is nice but the decor!!!!!!!! The decor is amazing! This restaurant has a very intimate vibe with a small patio for those who like to eat outside! I am looking forward to checking out the patio in the future. I'm super excited that this establishment is in Cobb county. It is a great addition to the area! The menu is massive! There is something for everyone one. The drinks are plentiful, you will have a lot to choose from!!! I promise ! read more

Service was not good. Meals came out separate over 30 minutes. The "Spanish" Ceaser was a bag of lettuce with a little dressing. Took the disappointing entree off the bill before they collected the credit card. Then it popped back on the bill when they charged the card. read more

This place is SO photogenic! From the moment you walk in the door passing a fun neon sign, you're invited in with a full length bar with the coolest wallpaper. The wait staff was very nice, however, I went during a bit before the normal dinner rush and the service was slow. It seemed as though they were a bit understaffed or had a shift change happening. As far as the food and drinks, everything was delicious! I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was fantastic. The queso and chips were great as well and the Bang Bang Shrimp taco was outstanding. Definitely recommend for a solid taco/marg spot! read more

Ordered the Mexican Caesar salad with an add-on of grilled salmon - a $21 salad. When I got it, it consisted of a few leaves of romaine lettuce (some of it wilting and brown) topped with a tablespoon of cotija cheese and about 4oz of salmon. It's about $7 worth of ingredients (and $5 of that is the salmon alone.) Not worth the money and just a lackluster dish (I can't imagine just ordering the salad alone and getting that sad, lonely pile of lettuce typed with powdered cheese). I want to like this place as it is very close to my office. But I've been there 3 times now, and they just don't seem to care about what they're putting out. No wonder it's always empty. read more

This place is lacking energy. I have been here twice this week. The first time the server did not know what was on the menu. The drinks were good and the food came out and was good too. It did take a while for both. The server never came back and we had no water throughout the meal. The second time I came with a group of friends for margarita Monday. Terrible. Server didn't know anything. Drinks took almost an hour. Didn't get food order in for over an hour. The margaritas were okay. They forgot many of our drinks and brought out half of them 20 minutes after the other half. The server couldn't answer questions and didn't bring water for an hour. Bartender not even making drinks. Great pathetic and potential. Not sure what is going on here, poor training or inexperience? but don't recommend. Won't be coming back. read more

If you went to college in Atlanta between 2015-2019, you know that Prickly Pear is legendary! I was so excited to see their return. You can tell that they've taken meaningful efforts to offer an elevated, upscale experience this go-round. A group of friends and I decided to visit this new location. Let me tell you, the rebranded Prickly Pear is awesome! The ambience is completely enamoring. The decor is thoughtful and luxurious. It truly feels like a restaurant out of Downtown LA or New York in the comfort of Cumberland/Smyrna Atlanta. They have an extensive drink menu with options for everyone! The bar is stunning! It's even indoor and outdoor, so you can enjoy a margarita on their heated patio while still feeling a part of the restaurant. The service was outstanding. My group felt taken care of the entire time. Our server was attentive, engaging and welcoming! Their were staff members who went out of their way to make sure we were okay. I really appreciated that! I wasn't a big fan of my food. I ordered the Camarones tacos and the cabbage slaw tasted sour and spoiled. I then ordered the fried oyster and salmon tacos, these were much better!!! I especially loved the salmon tacos. They'll definitely be a go-to for me. I agree with another review that the prices are pretty high for the food offered. The menu stated that the camarones tacos were shrimp with a black bean purée... but there was no purée just black beans and shrimp. I'd like to see them make more effort to enhance the food presentation. Despite the experience with the shrimp tacos, I am eager to return and explore more of the menu. As I mentioned above, the drink selections are amazing! If you're a tequila lover, you'll absolutely love this place! Margaritas range between $12-15, Cocktails $14/flat Well done Prickly Pear!

They're going DOWN! I'm sad to see/ experience it. I use to look forward to their tasty food. NOT anymore. The chicken tacos were delicious, until my last order.

I just stopped in for a draft beer. It warm and flat. The bartender was very friendly and fast. The decor is really cool! I tried to swap it out for a bottle but it was also warm to the touch.

This was an awful experience. I took my daughter here for dinner just looking to try something new. The customer service was very poor.

Food was pretty good. I got the nachos but I think the prices were way too high for most items. There's no chips and salsa for the table either. The menu needs some updating as well, I think they no longer have any options with espresso. The server was friendly but the wait for the check was quite long. The patio option is nice especially when they open it for ventilation with the outdoors. Plenty of parking. Overall it was ok but nothing to rave about. read more
