In town from NC for a concert 5/26. Hubby and I stayed at Hampton Inn for 2 nights. We didn't want to lose our parking spot and this restaurant was across the street. There's a kiosk at the entrance to place your order, which was easy to use. Hubs had steak quesadilla and I had chicken quesadilla. They have these awesome little table lights that put out a lot of light from the small dome top. I went straight to Amazon to find them. Pricy but cute. Anyway, we took our food back to hotel room to eat. It was delicious. The chicken was grilled and had the wonderful chargrilled taste to it. Same with the steak. They were served with sour cream, picante, and a spicy sauce on the side. It was so good, we went back again the next night after the concert and ordered the same thing. I also got a mango flavored drink which was yummy. Hubby got très leches both nights and said it was really good. This is a chain restaurant with locations only in Atlanta from what I found. . This restaurant would do well in CLT if they ever decide to franchise it. Would recommend. read more

Was looking for late night food in the Buckhead area and Rreal Tacos popped up. So glad I came by! It was very busy and lively on a Friday night but we were seated right away. Our server was pretty attentive despite how busy it was. Ordered fish tacos, guacamole, esquites, vegetarian tacos, a small quesadilla, and a tostada. Ordered a margarita for a drink. Most things were tasty, especially the guac and esquites. My least favorite was the tostada. It was so loaded, you couldn't eat it. Portions were good, and prices were great. You have hot sauces on the table already. It's a fun spot for sure! read more

I've been on a bit of a Rreal Tacos kick lately thanks to a BOGO deal on Uber Eats, and after three orders in about two and a half weeks, it felt right to share a proper review. I usually go for the quesabirria, which is consistently solid, but the asada quesadillas deserve just as much attention. They're packed with generous, high-quality chunks of steak and melted cheese, and come with a trio of sauces that really elevate the meal. They're not clearly labeled on the menu, but one tastes like a creamy avocado-based sauce, another leans toward a deep red chipotle-style flavor, and the third is a burnt orange sauce with noticeable heat. All three are flavorful, but they definitely bring some spice. This last order, I also tried the tempura fish taco. I'll be honest--I'm usually hesitant with fish or even shrimp tacos because they tend to fall flat. This one surprised me. It's simple, but really well executed--light, fresh, and satisfying without being heavy. Overall, if you haven't tried Rreal Tacos yet, it's worth checking out. It's a newer addition to the Atlanta restaurant scene with a success story behind it, and it's clearly grown into a local favorite--you'll find locations all over the metro area now and far in the burbs. read more

Real Tacos had a great vibe and some really solid food. I ordered the chicken tacos with rice and black beans, and the tacos were flavorful with a nice char on the meat. The onions and fresh toppings added a lot of flavor, and the portions were filling. The presentation of the drinks was fun too, and the outdoor seating area had a really cool atmosphere at night. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that while everything was good, there wasn't anything that completely wowed me. Service was good, and the food came out looking great, but I felt like there was just a little something missing that would make it a place I'd immediately rave about to everyone. Overall, I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu. If you're looking for good tacos, a fun atmosphere, and a nice spot to hang out with friends, it's worth checking out. read more

Wonderful taco spot within walking distance of our hotel. I really enjoyed everything I tried and the service was very friendly and food came out quickly. Prices were as expected for Buckhead, but I didn't feel like I was ripped off lol. The food was well worth the price and I will come back next time in town. There's indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating has fans on the patio so it doesn't get too hot. Indoor has a variation of bar seating, high tops, and regular tables. Definitely spacious! read more

I've never heard of the Rreal Tacos before so I guess you can tell that I'm new to the area. Once there, I overheard nearby customers raving about its popularity and specifically other locations. I love that this restaurant is located near my employer and there's parking readily available. I'd rather it not be paid parking and I forgot to ask whether or not they'll validate your ticket. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You can seat yourself at the bar, but you have to wait to be seated in the dining areas. I elected to sit the bar and try a couple of drinks since I was waiting on a friend, it didn't appear to be any wine available and it just didn't seem right to ask for a glass lol. It was a really chill and laid back environment. There was a bit of music playing which wasn't too loud and the Masters was being shown on the televisions. Overall, I loved how authentic and crispy the chips tasted. The pineapple drink and queso dip were a bit thick. I felt the queso dip should have had some a protein or jalapeños in it. The burrito bowl was delicious and of the three drinks I sampled, the strawberry margarita was by far my favorite. I plan on returning in the near future to try the nachos. read more

My drink was the bomb just a little small and the chips and guacamole was amazing ! I got the carnitas, steak and shrimp taco and they were all delicious. Carnitas was my favorite. I recommend getting the Mexican rice over the cilantro and the refried beans. Both delicious. Super affordable prices an they validate parking read more

Parking: Parking garage available. Make sure to bring your parking ticket, they can give you a validation sticker on your way out. Came in on a Friday night hoping to beat the game day crowd. I was immediately able to be seated at the bar which I appreciate. Bartender was very attentive and very kind! Never felt like I needed to hunt anyone down as they did good on anticipating my needs for napkins, sauces and light as is it got darker outside. Drinks: I had the pineapple guava margarita. Delicious, I'd get this again if they still offer it! Food: RReal nachos w/ chicken minus the beans. So delicious, especially with the red hot sauce. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and fresh. I love that rreal incorporates cheese throughout their nachos so it's not just all piled at the top. I definitely recommend a reservation if you plan to come in during busier times or with a large group. This place gets PACKED and is fairly small inside. also a warning, their floor is very greasy and slippery so walk with caution. read more

Honestly nothing but good things to say here. The workers are so down to earth and the food is great. I came here for lunch and got shrimp fish and borria tacos which were great and then another night (on my birthday) I stoped by here for a drink. Andres (whos bday is the same as mine) and German treated me amazingly they even surprised me with a tres leches dessert which was so sweet. I felt so at home and comfortable here and I would love to come back again. read more

I have been to this location a handful of times but most recently I visited and they were doing their Christmas-thened pop-up bar. I liked how they went all out with the Christmas lights and holiday decorations throughout the restaurant. Though they srill had their regular menu offerings, there was also a special Christmas menu with specialty food and drink items available. I ordered the Beef Christmas Birria Taco which was described as a festive red corn tortilla filled with melted cheese, slow-cooked birria, onion, and cilantro (chicken was also an option instead of beef) and The Rudolph, which was their version of Coquito. Both items were tasty and enjoyable. Minus one star because in general the service was a bit lacking, but I would consider returning and trying other items since I enjoyed what I ordered. read more

Rreal Tacos - Buckhead - BURRITO BOWL chicken - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is my third time trying Rreal Tacos and in truth, it only happened again in a moment of desperation. I ordered 4 tacos of various meat types and my sister ordered 2 shrimp tacos among other accoutrements (beans, chips & salsas, sauce, etc.). These items were to go (pick up). When we cracked upon the package at home, all the tacos were crammed into one box (see one photo, minus one of the shrimp tacos my sister snagged while I emailed the restaurant. You will also note there is only 3, not 4 meat tacos.) Perhaps for a typical person packaging the items in the same clamshell wouldnt be a problem, but I have severe anaphylactic reactions to shellfish, meaning I can't consume it, my food cant be cooked on the same unclean surface as it and it and cant be served touching it. I was really frustrated as it was well past 10PM on a weeknight and I was hungry. Plus, there was no way to notate specific allergies on their site. But even further, shellfish is one of the major FDA allergens so its really basic food safety not to place them together. I called Rreal tacos four times that night and was hung up on every single time. Not sure if theres something up with their phone, but I couldn't get in touch with them. I also emailed the restaurant the same night and have not received a response. I just would like a solution as I was unable to eat any of the meal due to their poor food handling practices. read more

After a short wait we opted for An interior table with two kids and three adults. While the zombie Punch makes a great ig moment it was not tasty for a mixed drink which is unfortunate. Refried black beans, rice and shrimp tacos were best things I tried. Grilled chicken was a bit too grilled, barbacoa was very dry and bland - ultimately way too loud inside to enjoy conversation and dinner so I'd likely not be back. Just visiting from out of town anyway- tons of very creepy decor if you're into that. I can imagine its fun for a bar crawl. Service was good. read more

The decor for Halloween was top tier. This place and all the staff really get into the spirit. A small and random thing I appreciate would be the tongs and tooth picks they utilize for garnish. I've seen many bartenders throw everything in with their hand or a glove that has touched much more than the fruit. The drinks were also mixed well. (Mocktails for me) How was the food? Good, I enjoyed a costra taco and the Abuela salad. For both, the meat choices seemed endless so I just went with what I knew. Al pastor for the taco and grilled chicken for the salad. If I ate this salad again I think I would remove the radish. It was a little dry and didn't complement the salad dressing. Staff? Amazing and attentive, Spanish too, which I personally loved. Parking? The angle for each parking spot will be shhhhharp. There were so many wheels out of place. But they validate for 3 hours so that is nice. The walk is also minimal. I like this little area if you're going on a date. But inside is small for a group of friends so just know you'll be packed in a little tight. Large group table options and the patio is more spacious than inside. Lastly be ready for tons of bells and sparkles going through the room. All and all I think I'll be back and I hope there is more holiday decor when I return. read more

Rreal Tacos - Buckhead - ABUELA SALAD with Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Stopped in for a quick lunch during a recent visit to Buckhead. The whole building inside and out was decorated with Halloween decorations. I mean every inch. Even some of the servers were dressed up. The vibe was upbeat and the music was blasting. This spot is covered with Televisions. So you can probably come here for a game or 2. Now onto to the food. I didn't have anything to drink but, I did try 3different tacos. Grilled Shrimp- shrimp was nicely done. Not overcooked. Slaw, onions and cilantro were on it. Nice flavor and a bite of crunch. Pork Belly- Came with onion and cilantro topping. Pork belly was crispy and juicy. Picahna-topped with chimicurri and pickled onion. Great flavor. Steak was deliciously seasoned and cooked. Chimi sauce was to die for! I'll say that each taco was nicely portioned for the price. I was stuffed eating all 3. But sad I for went the chips and salsa. It looked deelish. I sat at the bar thinking service would be faster but, apparently many others thought the same. Actual service for drinks was slow but, food came out fast. I'd definitely patronize again. read more

Came to Atlanta for the fist time. This place was recommended by my valet guy where I am staying and boy did it not disappoint. I got quesabirrias with consome and a picanha taco that has steak and a delicious chimichurri sauce and pickled onions that was amazing. I got a Paloma to drink and it was just the right amount of strong. Our waiter Keenan was sweet, very attentive to all our needs. Overall such a great experience read more

Food: Good ol reliable franchise you can rely on. Only think...the tostado was rather salty. Not sure why cause both my items were chicken so, it had to be something else like the bean or something that made it a bit salty. Service: Speedy Gonzalez Ambiance: Cool spot but, don't sit at the far end of the bar by the wall. It's extremely tight with the table here. The bar tenders have more room to walk behind the bar than the patrons & servers. Other than that I can check this off my Yelp Elite List! I heard about this location but, stumbled across it so...Whalah!!!! read more

The good: - Great tasting tacos - Decent portions which isn't always the case for street tacos - Tons of options on the menu - Ample seating options from bar, to inside tables and outside covered patio - Validated parking The bad: Service was meh at times, especially upon arrival. It took a solid 3 minutes to even be acknowledged 5 min after opening when there wasn't a single other customer inside and about 8 total staff members and a manager all standing around or getting some things ready. The ugly: They use an automated menu system which could be used to see your tab and settle. However they didn't tell you til the very end they charged a fee for this. Like hold up, why am I paying you to do less work? read more

It's loud, service was begrudging, the food less than impressive, and they gave us the worst table available. The BF gave me a look so I let it go. I'm not sure why he minded as even he will ask for a better table if it pleases him. I forgot to ask him why. The saving grace? The cocktails. That's what the second star is for. Many better options in the city for great tacos. It's not in our rotation. read more

I love RREAL tacos. My favorite spot in atl to grab a quick bite to eat and a yummy drink. Today I decided to go against my normal order, birria tacos (which are amazing btw) and ordered the steak burrito which I'm very glad I did. The flavors of the burrito are savory and delectable. I added pico and cabbage to mine for an extra umph and it's delicious. I also love how rreal always makes a strong effort to decorate the restaurant during the holiday seasons! The decor is so cute and festive and they even have a special holiday drink menu. Laura was our waitress and she was spectacular. She gave us stellar service and even made great suggestions. I will be back! read more

The food was delicious. The service was subpar. The place could use a little TLC as the cleanliness was below average.

We live right up the road from this taco joint, and we love walking up and hanging on the patio during nice weather and inside is just as great--they did a great job on sound absorption for those who struggle with sensory stimulation like myself. The atmosphere is always beyond what you expect, especially during the holidays--they go all out! Service is always solid, and extremely knowledgeable of their menu and special items--take their advice if you're curious about their cocktails and entrees! Their birria options are by far our favorite to indulge ourselves with, but we've ventured some outside of those and the seasonal specials have always spiked our taste buds. Highly recommended, and as an extra perk, parking is validated--rare find in Buckhead's dining! Unfortunately, my husband and I haven't taken photos yet, but will in our future visits to add. read more

Pretty standard real Taco. I was in the area because I had to go pick up something for my tailor so I stopped in to eat beforehand. Sat at the bar and it was pretty empty because I came during the afternoon so it was pretty good. Only thing that I will note that sets to the part is the taco that they gave me. Now I go for the pork belly tacos because they are amazing! I don't know what it is about them but they are amazing. All I know was when they gave me the tacos I ordered, the chunks of pork were huge so you get larger portions of meat inside your taco. That really made me happy. But otherwise it was pretty standard. read more

Who knew that a random TikTok featuring Beltline Kevin talking about Rreal Taco and an Uber Eats coupon would lead me to try the best tacos in Atlanta? As a California girl born and raised, I know good Mexican food. I ordered a Birria barbacoa taco and two grilled chicken tacos, and let me tell you, they were all incredible. Each taco was packed with flavor, and the meat was so moist--definitely not dry like at most taco places in Atlanta, where they often rely on toppings to compensate. The flavor and quality of the meat, and rice were the stars of the show, and I didn't even need the sauces that came with them! I highly recommend that you rush to this place and give it a try. And if you go to the location on the beltline you might even get a smile and a song from Beltline Kevin! read more

To say there was nothing good about our meal would be an understatement. The food wasn't just disappointing, it was barely edible. Honestly, I should've taken the hint when the place was already decked out for Halloween, 6 weeks early. read more

The food was pretty good. Large portions and well seasons. The vibe, even on a Sunday night was interesting at best. It's a place to go for large drinks, decent tacos, and a bit more party atmosphere. Prices are a bit high but portion sizes make up for most of it. Service is nearly not existent given they were so busy, understaffed, or both. They only have QR menus, had to ask for silverware multiple times, and they never came back to provide us a check. Luckily they had a QR pay at the table, but they charge a 3% fee to use the pay by app "app service fee" and tried to calculate the tip based off the total with taxes vs the sub total, while suggesting a way too high of tips for a restraint (30% was the first default in pretty sure). No one should ever be charged to pay for the business application a restaurant used so customers can pay for their meal, especially when the service doesn't bring the check. read more

Emily was amazing! she was super intentive and kept us content the whole night! Can't recommend her enough !

This is my least favorite of all of the Rreal Tacos locations. Specifically because of the bar staff. I've come a couple of times and each time all they do is talk and joke around with each other. They don't come check on you on their own at all. You literally have to find them and ask for every little thing. Any time you need something you have to flag them down and even then they move with no sense of urgency like you're interrupting their conversation. I literally watched my food sit in the window while they were talking and someone just walked by and saw it sitting there and brought it to me. Other than that the food is fresh and delish as usual. I saw a few other complaints about noise and it's loud, small and crowded like all of the locations so I wouldn't come here expecting intimacy. read more

We had the BEST experience with Yeysy at Rreal Tacos Buckhead today! We came in right after a play date with 5 very excited little girls (including my daughters!) and 4 moms, so you can imagine the noise level and all the special meal instructions. Yeysy handled everything with such patience, kindness, and professionalism. Every order was timely, accurate, and complete, not a single item missing, even with all our modifications. Our drinks and appetizers came out quickly (which saved us from kids climbing the walls ), and our entrées followed perfectly without a long wait. She anticipated our needs before we even asked, keeping the girls' drinks full, bringing extra napkins, and making sure we were comfortable the entire time. On top of that, our group loved the music selection playing it made the whole vibe even better. Yeysy truly turned what could have been a chaotic lunch into a fun, smooth, and memorable outing for our group of moms and kiddos. We will definitely be back and asking for her again! Thank you, Yeysy, for taking such great care of us! read more

Great food and service. We had a very nice server who gave great recommendations. Definitely get the shrimp tacos! Parking was easy.

TRASH. Today is my birthday and I had the worst experience in a matter of just 30 mins. We walk in they sit us down. I wait for someone, ANYONE to bring us water, take our drink orders, nothing. I ask someone to help us. They finally come. They take my app and drink order finally and let her know it was my birthday today. I'm ready to order another drink. And im making it pretty obvious that I need assistance and everyone is just looking at me and not attending to us. Yet the ppl working there are on their phones, talking and socializing with each other and other customers and so happy to help everyone else but us. I literally had to tell a person I'm assuming was the manager how awful my experience has been and how I feel like we're just forgotten even tho we're sitting dead in the middle of the restaurant. Like Ive never experienced nothing like this before especially at any other rreal I've been to. I will never be back again. Please hurry and open the Chamblee location back up because I'm not risking trying a different rreal taco ever again. read more
