damianjproject Local Guide·19 reviews·2 photos Dinner | $30-40 Listen it is an amazing place to dine. I had the good luck of staying near this place while on tour as a musician and it was very impressive. NELLY took care of me and she was amazingbut had a lotttt going on so the beer got kind of warm sitting on the bar and silverware was delayed at first but after these timely hurdles it was smooth sailing. First, the OYSTERS on a Monday night are out of this world!!! Fresh, a taste of the sea, they were so soft and just demonstrated the perfect texture. I ended up ordering 24 oysters for $30 and they were some of the best. The fajitas were served with tons of veggies and sizzling. Kitchen was on fire with fast service. The tortillas were handmade and fresh. Delicious tortillas. The mexican rice tasted authentic not a Knorrs cube or fake seasoning. The fiesta salad naked with no dressing was incredible with charred corn on top and pickled red onions. Really fresh spring mix. The guacamole on the fajita platter was perfectly salted. All in all the food was very impressive. The house beer was basically like a corona for $4!!! That is super affordable. The place had damp carpet smell and mundane ambience. Nothing to match the level of fresh food but that makes sense. Who cares when you got homemade tortillas to eat‍A very delightful meal right by my hotel Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Good was ok. Steak fajita did not have enough meat for the cost. It was barely a whole steak. Food was pretty good otherwise. Just not the best value for the money read more

This place is a modern Mexican-American restaurant serving typical street food. I came in opting for tacos. I ended up ordering the carne asada and Baja fish tacos with a side of beans and rice for $15. Let's start with the good: I thought the tacos themselves were delicious, and the use of high-quality ingredients definitely stood out. The fish taco was well-fried with a crispy exterior, and the purple cabbage added a nice crunch. The carne asada tacos were well-seasoned and flavorful. Now, onto the more mediocre aspects. Paying $15 for just two tacos is steep--especially when I can get authentic tacos down the street for $3 each. The service was just okay. When I needed something, it felt like I had to wait a while before being helped. It didn't seem like there were enough servers for the number of guests. Lastly, it took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, which felt like a long wait given that the restaurant wasn't busy. read more

We were in Dunwoody 6-6-2026 at The Hampton Inn and liked the location...same parking lot as the hotel. Exceptional food. The options for the wonderful tacos were awesome and filling. The service was attentive. The churros with ice cream made the meal great. The atmosphere was festive as a group near celebrated a birthday. The sports options on the large TVs were great...watched UFC events. Definitely recommend. read more

I came here with a friend and really enjoyed the ambiance of this place! There's a good size parking lot outside with indoor and outdoor seating. We got seated pretty quickly on a Saturday night and ordered our meals quickly. I like that the menu was limited which made it easy to pick out my meal. I went with the burrito grande which was a fried buritto with chicken, beans, rice and veggies with three different sauces on top. We got our food pretty quickly and overall I liked the burrito! It didn't leave me feeling too full and liked how everything was well seasoned and liked the texture of the fried buritto which complemented the inside of it. Our server was super nice and can't wait to come back and try some of the tacos next time! read more

So this is kind of like a neighborhood bar situation. It's very close to where I have my stomping grounds at, so I've been there quite a few times. Depending on what day you go. It's a different experience but overall it's still pretty good. I will say that the day to go if you're hungry will be on a Tuesday because the Taco Tuesday special is pretty good. But just about everyday has something! Queso and chips - Now the queso they have. I probably wouldn't get again. Water down and runny so it's not like it's thick and cheesy and creamy when you dip the chip in. Charbroiled oysters - The oysters were more like Rockefeller oysters versus just having Char-Broiled oysters as if you were in New Orleans. Don't get me wrong, they were good. And for the price that you're paying for them at the happy hour, they are pretty solid! So I will say I would go back for these. Steak taco - the steak taco was pretty good. Squeeze a little bit of lime on there and it was a good Taco. Small but just enough. And for the Tuesday price, you can beat that. Chicken taco - The chicken taco is the same as the steak Taco above, really good price though. For the most part for this area. This Taco was a little bit more dry, but not to where you couldn't enjoy it. Again, squeeze a little bit of lime on there just to get an extra pop, and it's all good. Garlic parmesan wings - so the wings were actually pretty good. They came out hot and fresh from what it seemed like and they had a lot of meat on them. And the sauce was actually really good. Calamari - The calamar was pretty good. Only thing with the katamari is I feel like they put more peppers in there than they did actual calamari. Or at least it was too many peppers given how much calamari they gave. But flavor wise it was pretty good though. Dip trio - not sure if it's called that but at the same time, it's a basket of chips and then you get to try the salsa and the queso and the guacamole. You're going to run out of chips before you run out of dip most likely though, so that's not a bad problem to have! I'll probably still keep going to this spot. It's in a reasonable area, free parking, and overall the specials are really really good. read more

Haven't been to Red Pepper in years!!! I will say the environment is still the same, relaxing and family oriented! The food seems to have improve, there's more flavors than I remember. The servers and staff are attentive, didn't expect that to change. read more

It took a minute for someone to come to my table (this was around noon/one on a Monday) and there weren't many ppl in there. Wasn't a fan of the service at all. The happy hour deals were pretty good to me, but I didn't enjoy the oysters and the RPT happy hour wings, in which I ordered the honey hot flavor. They tasted like that chicken taste with a thin layer of honey on the wings and MAYBE ONE crushed pepper flake....just ONE though........they were terrible. I wouldn't even take them home and put them in the air fryer, no ma'am. The Monday Happy Hour Oysters I didn't enjoy, I ordered them chargrilled. I love chargrilled oysters! I tried to like them bc the price you can't beat, however I just really didn't enjoy the oysters from here. The RPT happy hour fries were okay, just a little too much of the queso for me. Let's get into what my stars are actually for and what I even came here for to begin with. I'm sorry it's not pictured bc I got it to go but the Quesabirria is all that! It's a birria quesadilla and I love it, I ordered it before so I decided to come in and get it but then I ran into these happy hour deals and I still wind up getting it to go LOL I'd come back during a different time and try some of the other items. read more

I've been here a few times. Not to this exact location but it wasn't my first time. The food never really left a mark on me until today. I love tacos so I can be hard to please. Suggestions: Get the fish taco on a crunch shell and ask for a little more crema on the side for your rice and beans. Skip the carne asada taco I sat at the bar and the service was great and fast! They were playing multiple sporting events on the televisions so I can definitely see this being somewhere to enjoy a game. This is a casual place no need for your fancy pants but they do have a beautiful patio with a fire pit that could make it a cute little date night. read more

Pretty empty on a Monday afternoon. Plenty of TVs for game days. Takes a moment to get service once sat but once greeted she was great! I enjoyed the chicken quesadilla and my raspberry mojito. I was told the wings were also good. read more

Service was EXTREMLEY SLOW after being seated here however, they had the music jamming so it was a nice distraction to realize the service got slow. The food comes out fast but the overall service was slow. The food was decent, they have plenty of TVs if you would like to watch sports. There is also a pretty nice patio Parking is free, the location is a little difficult to get to depending on which way you come from because you may have to do a u-turn into a street that is pretty busy. read more

This was my first time at this location and it was good as the playlist was fire lol. I really appreciate Darius as he had great customer service. He made sure we were good regularly and was very friendly, without being overbearing. I ordered the taco trio and a strawberry Hennessy margarita. I enjoyed both the Baja fish and carne asada tacos. The birria taco was good, but the meat could've been more seasoned. The drink was strong like I like it and was good. I really enjoyed my visit here. read more

I came for my anniversary last night because we came here for our first date on Super Bowl Sunday 2025 and we were immediately greeted with rudeness. I was told I can't ask any questions or make requests. The host walks off and then comes back I tell her i have reservations and was told they aren't accepting reservations but it was made 3 weeks ago. I was told there were no seats available when there were plenty. the host then said they were saving those for large parties. Instead of apologizing for the mistake or trying to rectify their mistake. I was told I would have to wait for a table and I left instead of sitting there waiting when there were so many available seats. they could've accommodated us since it was their error. We will never come back here after finding out the rude host was in fact the manager. She lacks empathy and customer service. read more

This is a great spot to get some Mexican food. I've been here twice and both times I thought it was great. I love the music and the vibes. Servers are always really nice. Their food is phenomenal as well. I didn't get any pics unfortunately, but trust me when I say it's good! read more

Waited 10 minutes and server didn't even come by to take a drink order. Saw two men that walked in after us a few minutes later get drinks ordered and delivered and still no one at our table. They don't deserve customers if this is how they are serving when it's lunch time and the restaurant isn't even a 1/4 full. Disappointed as the restaurant is new and clean but service was not a good experience. read more

Tied with superica for my favorite salad in Atlanta. Red pepper service is hit or miss at most locations (esp Brookhaven one), but we were quite pleased with service and atmosphere at the new dunwoody location. It's a great place to grab a casual bite and watch sports. I love this fiesta salad with balsamic while my husband enjoys it with the ranch. Other favs here: burger, crispy chicken sandwich, burrito. I also love their grilled veggies read more

Went here with a co-worker to kill time. Great atmosphere inside and out. We sat outside. I had a few drinks (Tito's Rita and Perfect Peach) off the margarita menu. The Tito's was good. The Peach was okay. We did end up ordering food. We did chips, queso, guacamole and salsa. All was good. I got the fajita bowl and my co-worker got the quesadilla. I added chicken to the fajita bowl which is veggie. The chicken pieces were big, I needed to used a knife. Also, the chicken was a little dry, but overall it was good. No complaints on the quesadilla. Would go back because It was a nice place to hangout. Also, the staff was really nice. read more

Alvaro was such an awesome server and took very good care of us during their happy hour! 10/10 I highly recommend

Came during playoffs! Heat vs. Celtics game and it was a good turn out. The place was spacious and nicely decorated. Televisions everywhere and music was playing. I am not sure if there was a shortage of staff but when we got there, some of the tables were not clean. How can you say, we can sit ourselves anywhere but the tables were dirty? We did place our order and it came out quick! The nachos were huge w. Everything on it. I only wanted nachos and a drink since I had a long week! The server was training someone new but they could of brought napkins, ask for to go boxes or at least remove the dishes to clear room so we can enjoy the game. They were busy on the phone. And I'm like if you want to be on the phone at least check on your customers! Good Food but they can do better on the service. read more

This place has all these stars??? Why? Shrimp tacos (fried) over fried and dry. Sweet sauce on the shrimp tacos it was just not good. Got the Cadillac drink $17 for a strong but small drink that just didn't wow for the price. Friend got A steak salad that looked nice. The best part of the experience was the ambiance (young music selection and decor) and the great wait staff. No pictures on this trip. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend and we truly had a wonderful experience. For a Saturday night I was expecting it to be crowded, especially with the restaurant being right in front of a hotel but it was pretty quiet and there was a guy playing singing his little heart out with his band. When we made our way inside, the guy at the host stand was friendly and welcomed us right in. We were seated as soon as we walked in and from the time we walked in the door to the time we left, the service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress, Jennifer, was super sweet and took such good care of us. I ordered queso as a starter and it was delicious! I decided to order a few tacos and got the blackened salmon and the pescado frito. The blackened salmon taco had a decent sized piece of salmon that was seasoned well and came with slaw and theirs sweet chile like sauce that just add goodness to the taco. The pescado frito came with a crispy piece of tilapia, slaw, corn, and radish. I'm not that big a fan of radishes but it really wasn't that bad along with the corn, fish and the sauce that came with it. Everything was super tasty and was hot and fresh. read more

It was Taco Tuesdays on V-Day & my Daughter brought me here. We sat in the bar area & had an awesome time being served by Sierra, who stopped by often to check in & chat it up with us. An added bonus of she & I share the same Aries Day. Our simple order came out hot & quickly - Nachos Ole with Shrimp, Veggie Tacos with Sangrias & Strawberry Margaritas...a few rounds over. Eli, the manager made his rounds & stopped by to make sure we were taken care of. Such great customer service from the entire staff - down to the pleasant food runners. Although Sierra was on double duty as the Bartender/Server, she really made us feel welcomed & didn't skip a beat with her timely service. There's plenty of seating in the bar & dining areas. Two patios are connected via internal doors - the enclosed patio adjacent to the bar & an outdoor patio with a fire pit & communal couch seating. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Management My daughter and I went there for a cocktail and appetizer. The nachos were just okay but the biggest problem was my drink. I asked for a spicy margarita and they took it upon themselves to make me a patron margarita which is not what I ask for. Instead of the bartender asking me if I just want a house or do I have a preference she just made me a top shelf and then charged me $15. I ask to speak to a manger. The manger came over mine you was not friendly at all and when I told him the situation he just rudely said well the drink is in front of you and it looks like you. I informed him that he was being very rude and ask for his name and said my name is John Poluski and I'm the owner as well and I told him that's even worse and said this is how you treat your customers. He was unapologetic and just walked away. I will never walk into that restaurant again. And let me add that I am an African American black woman. Had my skin color looked like his I'm sure the situation would have been much different. read more

If you're looking for a quick lively environment with drinks and good food, Red Pepper is a nice choice. The music is very loud so if you're trying to have engaging conversation, you need to be close or shout. The food was hot and very good. They had a $5 margarita special as well that we took advantage of. Now don't be deceived, it's served in a mason jar but a small one. The picture make it look big but they are not. Also the side of beans are not whole beans, they're refried. Unfortunately service wasn't the best, but I do give grace because he told us it was his first day on the floor. read more

We decided to go here for a birthday celebration. There were 6 of us. They have a 20% tip charge on parties of 6. Our waitress was terrible. Had to ask for silverware and ask for water refills. Got order wrong. Frankly did not care about us since she was guaranteed a 20% tip. If you go there with a large group break the check up or you are going to get screwed. read more

Decided to meet here for brunch after such a good experience at the Brookhaven location a couple of weeks ago. Immediate I noted how much nicer this location is- newer, brighter, more seating, etc. Unfortunately that's where the comparison ends. The food at this location was meh. I ordered the exact same thing, the Americano breakfast. The pancakes were dry and heavy, the bacon was chewy, and my over hard eggs were cooked over medium. My friend ordered chicken and waffles and her order came out...with no chicken. By the time her chicken arrived her waffle was gone. Service was good. Food was not. Next time I'd go back to Brookhaven. read more

This place is amazing. We came here after Snooze told us that it would be a 50 minute wait to enjoy their brunch. I said nope and went across the street and best decision ever. The portions are TEXAS BIG. I am not even joking. It is a good deal. And they have a bottomless mimosas. Gigi, our server, was attentive and constantly at the right place at the right time. I would come back for the service and then the food. It is amazing. They were playing the Weekend and Beyoncé and it was a total vibe. We had steak and eggs, sugary grits (not a fan), avocado toast, pancakes, and the sides were so huge. The French Toast was only $5 and look at how big they are! I definitely think this was a good investment. I only paid about $40, $30-$50. read more

Two words...Happyyyyy Hour! Everyday is a different happy hour special $14 Chargrilled oysters..$8 skinny margaritas..half off wine on Wednesdays and of course $3 tacos on Tuesday!

The customer service was good and I enjoy the happy hour oysters. The queso was wack and the wings were decent. The drinks were okay not anything to brag about.

Nice spot to grab a meal! We ordered the dip trip with salsa, guacamole, and queso. It was what you would expect it to be. I also ordered a strawberry margarita and the fajita shrimp. I like appreciated the way they did their platter. It comes with rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, black beans, and sour cream. The sour cream is extremely skimpy. It is a think line one top of the beans, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, the meal was good and very filling. The service was cool. If I was in the area I would go back. read more

We wanted to give this place a try, since we've never been to a Red Pepper Taqueria. Parking was kind of a challenge to find close to the restaurant, but there are a lot more spaces available if you choose to park past the Corner Bakery. Apparently the hotel that shares the parking lot takes a huge share of the lot. This is a nice looking restaurant, with an outside patio. When we walked in, it looked a whole lot more like a sports bar, with a whole lot of the TV monitors tuned to sports channels. We were immediately greeted and shown to a table. The restaurant was at about 30% capacity. We scanned the QR code that was at the table, and viewed all of our food options. We were extremely hungry, and waited for our server. At about the two minute no one had come by our table yet, and we wondered if this was an indication of poor service that we weren't going to accept. At the third minute, I was already looking in Yelp for other food options. A server came by at the 5 minute mark, but I just told him that we were leaving. Take care of your customers from the time you seat them! Otherwise, don't seat them! I'm not accepting poor service for any reason. There are so many other restaurant options that provide better service. read more
