Rreal Tacos has spared no expense getting ready for the upcoming Valentine's holiday. Plenty of decor and menu items to get you and your loved ones in the mood. The family and I had a great night out on a Tuesday to celebrate a birthday (and there were at least 3 other birthdays celebrating at the time as us). The restaurant is conveniently located in the DTL just behind Lawrenceville Lawn. There's a small parking lot between the Lawn and Rreal Tacos that has a good amount of parking, but could be full depending on what is going on at the Lawn and surrounding areas. There are also many other lots surrounding Rreal Tacos that may be used (including Southlawn). Reservations are recommended. There is a big hostess stand as soon as you walk in should you mind not waiting to be seated. Our waitress was plenty nice and the service had a nice flow, we shall return! read more

This is my 3rd time here, and not impressed, I always expect more from this place maybe because it's a great location and at Halloween it was super cool! Each visit my food has been not so great I do not like how everything is sold separately, example how do you have a birria taco with consommé sold separately it's a package thing it goes together like peanut butter and jelly . But then the queso birria comes with consommé lol please make it make sense ! Yesterday, I ordered 3 tacos a shrimp and a tempura fish and a taco the waiter said was the best which was horrible and it was refunded for me because the steak was so tough I could not chew it ! The shrimp was very salty I did like the fish taco especially with the green sauce on the table . The elote was tasty too I enjoyed that. Overall I like the ambiance but the food not so much it's a lot of hype. It definitely would not be my top recommendation if someone wanted some tacos .My server was very nice and refunded my taco without me even complaining about it .the tacos didn't look appealing in the pic either . read more

My partner and I visited the Lawrenceville location on March 27, 2026 at about 1:30 pm for lunch. We walked in and there were about 7 staff memes hanging out at the host station and one immediately took us to a table. There was a manager (presumably) doing an interview at the table by the door. Though just hustle and bustle I arrived at the table about 20 seconds later than my partner and the hostess was already headed back to the hangout spot, so I missed her speil about the QR code menu. We were seated in the patio/sun room, which was very hot and loud. I was immediately annoyed and my partner said we weren't given the option to sit "inside". We were immediately greeted by a waitress (I'm seated but my purse is still in my hand/on the table). I try not to judge a book by its cover, but this is food service, this girl was FILTHY! She put the water on the table and I noticed she had 2 mystery globs of food on her hands. Ew. She explained she was in training and would be helping us. Ok, but still, wash your hands? She asked for our drink orders and I explained that I hadn't had a change to even open to menu yet. Didn't matter to our girl, she just pressed on talking about the menu, which I again explained I haven't looked at since idk what she is referring to. She again asked for the drink orders. My partner (who works in the restaurant industry) asked her to give us more time. I pulled up the menu as soon as she walked off and she sees that I have my phone out and IMMEDIATELY returns to the table to talk to us about Salas. Meanwhile I was still trying to pick a drink! I told her I was overwhelmed and needed time. She left again and then the walls came down... literally! They "rolled down" The glass walls to turn the already hot sun room into a patio. I have allergies and the entire outside is covered in pollen, I don't want to sit on a patio and sneeze into my food. My partner suggested that we just leave and go elsewhere. The bartenders hanging out behind theoutside bar watched us get up and exit. As did our server, the gaggle of staff at the front desk, an the manager sitting by the door. Not one single person attempted to extend any customer service. Long story short, we went down the road to Frida's where the parking was free, the chips and salsa is free, the staff and restaurant are clean, and we were given the option of indoors or patio. read more

Amended my previous comments. We had an excellent meal. The pork belly tacos were awesome! Our server was friendly and efficient. Why only 4 stars? I still don't like talking to an AI bot when I call; and your non-alcoholic beer selection is limited to 1. Heineken 0.0 is okay, but Corona, Athletic, & Sierra Nevada all have NA selections that have better flavor paired with Mexican food. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is super modern feeling. During the lunch hour they were minimally busy although our server was a bit slow. They apparently did not have sweet tea or Diet Coke? Although the soda selection was questionable the food was very fresh and delicious! read more

I absolutely love Real Tacos, and the Lawrenceville location did not disappoint at all. You can really tell how fresh everything is, from the food to the overall experience. My forever favorites are the pork belly tacos and the picanha tacos. If I'm not mistaken, the pork belly tacos used to come with pineapple before, and now they only have onions. I truly miss that pineapple because it added such a special sweet touch. They are still delicious, but that little detail made them next level for me. The service was honestly a 10 out of 10. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and super fast. I also love that this location has a patio where you can sit outside, which is perfect on a nice day. Their cocktail menu is extensive and everything I've tried has been amazing. They also offer non alcoholic cocktails, which is great if you don't feel like drinking alcohol or if you're with kids. One thing I really appreciate is that they serve the salsas separately so you can help yourself and choose how much you want. One of my favorite dishes aside from the tacos is their esquites, which are a solid 10 out of 10. The costra tacos wrapped in cheese are also very popular and for good reason because they are insanely good. The only thing I would change is that they don't serve complimentary chips. For a Mexican restaurant, that feels a little sad since it's something we all expect, but that's just a personal wish. Everything else makes up for it. The place is spacious, very clean, the bathrooms are spotless, and the food comes out quickly. The picanha tacos with chimichurri and pickled onions are perfection. They also have 11 locations across Georgia, so even if Lawrenceville isn't close to you, it's worth visiting the one nearest to you. Don't skip dessert either because their tres leches is delicious. Overall, this place is a 10 out of 10 for me and I highly recommend it. read more

We stopped by Rreal Tacos in Lawrenceville and it was such a fun experience. They currently have their Christmas theme up and it's all Grinch-themed! The whole place looks festive and over the top in the best way. Definitely loved the vibe! They even have a special Christmas menu, which includes Birria Ramen and a Coquito Flight, of course we had to try it. The coquito flight was delicious and the drinks overall were strong, so no complaints there. For food, I ordered a Birria taco with consommé and a Costra taco with steak. Tacos were absolutely delicious, super flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everyone at our table loved their meals too. Between us we had chicken nachos, Birria ramen, and more tacos, and everything looked amazing. The only downside was the service was a little slow, but to be fair it was very busy for a Sunday night so we understood. Parking was also a bit tricky, so definitely plan for that. Overall, super fun vibe, festive holiday theme, strong drinks, and great food. We'll definitely be back! ESPAÑOL Fuimos a Rreal Tacos en Lawrenceville y fue una experiencia muy divertida. Actualmente tienen su tema navideño y todo es de temática Grinch! Todo el lugar se ve muy festivo de la mejor manera. ¡Definitivamente me encantó el ambiente! Incluso tienen un menú especial de Navidad, que incluye Birria Ramen y un flight de Coquito, por supuesto que tuvimos que probarlo. El flight de coquito estaba delicioso y las bebidas en general fuertes, así que no hay quejas allí. Para la comida, pedí un taco Birria con consomé y un taco Costra con bistec. Los tacos estaban absolutamente deliciosos, súper sabrosos y perfectamente cocinados. A todos en nuestra mesa también les encantaron sus comidas. Entre nosotros comimos nachos de pollo, Birria ramen y más tacos, y todo se veía increíble. El único inconveniente fue que el servicio fue un poco lento, pero para ser justos estaba muy ocupado para un domingo por la noche, así que lo entendimos. El estacionamiento también fue un poco complicado, así que definitivamente planea eso. En general, ambiente súper divertido, tema festivo de vacaciones, bebidas fuertes y buena comida. ¡Definitivamente volveremos! read more

Went to Rreal Tacos in Lawrenceville on the week of Thanksgiving. It was abundantly decorated for Christmas and has festive drink and food options. I started with the Rudolph cocktail and it was delicious and christmasy. I got three tacos: Tempura fish, shrimp, pork belly. I liked the shrimp and pork belly the best. The spicy pineapple margarita was also great. read more

This was the newest location of RReal taco. We could not make reservations because at that time it was not allowed. Probably because it was just opened and they were not ready or capable to take reservations. The line was wrapped outside the door for people waiting to get tables. I guess this is downtown Lawrenceville so there was nowhere to park. We did end up parking across the street somewhere. It was free parking there. I didn't see where there was street parking available. I know the food truck was out front and that took up parking if you are able to park there. It is close to apartment buildings and perhaps you could find parking there but everywhere we went it was very congested. One of the reasons I wanted to come here was because they have these speciality drinks called Margarita flight,Flavored Titanic and Titanics. I couldn't order either because you had to have a minimum of 4 guests. It was only 2 of us so that really disappointed me. At some point I will probably go back with friends but I was super excited to give those a try. Once we finally got in it didn't take really long for us to be seated. It was lots of people inside so the noise level was a little loud. The waitress was nice and the food was good. We ordered the birria pizza. It was delicious. We did get chips and salsa. This was the first time we had to pay for chips and salsa. All the taco restaurants I have ever been to were always free. They did have the 3 sauces on the table. For whatever reason I didn't really enjoy any of them. I did try them all just to see how they tasted but none of them were for me. They do have a nice variety of items on the menu so I will definitely be back to try some more things. read more

My family and I went on a Wednesday evening to celebrate my daughter's birthday. While we did make reservations I did see people walk in. The restaurant itself is completely decorated for Halloween which add a little razzle dazzle. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive. Everyone in my party was pleased with their order. I found the portions to be more than reasonable. We all had left over food. Its also worth mentioning my daughter loved and devoured the tres leche cake she was given in honor of her birthday. While this may not be your regular taqueria something still feels authentic in the food..its not watered down American Mexican food. read more

Fantastic drinks! Tacos are good! Small menu but well thought out! The service was nice vibes were there!

First time trying Rreal Tacos, but I've always loved the look of their ambience and how they go all out for holidays! I got a frozen passion fruit margarita and the chicken nachos. The chicken is tasty and seasoned well. I didn't finish my plate because the portion was pretty big, and there was enough of all the toppings to enjoy. It was a little busy when we came in, probably because of Valentine's Day weekend, so our server took a little longer than expected to take our order, but the service was good overall. Will be coming back to try more of the menu! read more

Came here with a friend for lunch, and I will definitely be coming back for the food and the vibes!!! I'm sure you've seen social media posts about their holiday themed bars, and they go ALL OUT with decorations. Perfect for pictures, hangouts, etc,. We ordered the passion fruit margarita, chips and guacamole, and a taco platter (12 tacos, 4 proteins, 3 of each). On the platter, we got pastor, chicken, asada, and chicken birria. They were pretty good, but I wish they were more hot and fresh. And I do wish that the consommé came with the birria, but unfortunately that's extra unless you get the birria pizza. Good salsa variety and flake between the red salsa, salsa verde, and habanero salsa. Service was good, and our server kept coming to refill our drinks! Overall, definitely will come back again!! read more

The tacos slap, the drinks are wonderful, the price is right, and service is wonderful. Highly recommend! If you have a group, try the birria pizza. You won't regret it! read more

I finally got to go here after my husband had been raving about it, and I must say the hype is real! We came on a weekend and it was packed out. We had an hour wait which was fine, they had a booth outside for ordering drinks which was a super cool idea. We got the passion fruit Hennessy margarita and it was actually one of the best margaritas I've had and I don't even like Hennessy. Once inside I expected it to be a while before we were served but our waitress Millie (hopefully I spelled it right) was on top of it. We got our order in and within minutes our food was out. Everything was delicious! At the table we got the torta, dip trio, tacos, a bowl, and the birria. There were no complaints at all, each item was super flavorful and pricing was reasonable. For dessert we tried the tres leches which was again one of the best ones I've tried. We got drinks as well and overall it was a great experience. The vibe inside is nice and even better on the weekends. This is the spot if you want authentic Mexican food and a good time! Can't wait to come back and try other menu items. read more

From Frustration to Fiesta: How Rreal Tacos Turned It All Around A few weeks ago, my experience at Rreal Tacos left me genuinely disappointed -- a rare thing for me to even put into writing. But what happened wasn't just about a busy restaurant; it felt like we were flat-out forgotten. I left that night frustrated, ignored, and wondering how a spot with such a good reputation could have let something like that happen. But here's where the story takes a turn. Shortly after my review, I was contacted by Wilson -- who heard about what happened and immediately stepped in. What stood out most? He didn't try to defend or excuse anything. He simply listened. Within five minutes of our conversation, he had another reservation set up for me to give Rreal another shot -- no drama, no ego, just someone who genuinely cared about making it right. And let me tell you -- they went crazy in the best way possible. From the moment we walked in, the energy was different. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and within minutes we had our drinks and appetizers. The vibe inside was electric -- shots flying across tables, people laughing at the bar, playoff basketball lighting up the screens (OKC vs Pacers, for the real fans), and groups just soaking up the night. It finally felt like the neighborhood spot I'd always hoped it could be. Now let's talk food -- the Taco Platter was the MVP. * Carne Asada - 4/5: tender, flavorful, and a solid go-to. * Al Pastor - 5/5: absolutely delicious. Rivaling the big names like Don Pedro and some of ATL's hardest-hitting taquerias. * Pork Belly - 3/5: not my personal favorite, but my friend said it tasted like "warm bacon," so there's that * Tempura Fish - 2/5: a bit of a reach for us, but worth trying if you're feeling adventurous. Not my thing, but I can see the appeal. And just when I thought we were wrapping up, Freddy (Freddie? Fredi? Freddíéy? -- hope I got it right!) came through with an off-menu treat: Dragon Fruit Margaritas that are apparently in the works. Let's just say -- when they drop, they're going to be a hit. Refreshing, bold, and exactly the kind of drink that sneaks up on you in the best way. To top it all off, they snapped a picture of us like they do for birthdays -- and I even walked away with what they jokingly called my Mexican visa . It was a full-circle moment, and a reminder that hospitality isn't about being perfect -- it's about how you show up when things don't go right. Huge thanks to Wilson and Freddy for turning what could've been a permanent "never again" into a new favorite local go-to. Rreal Tacos -- I see y'all. And I'll definitely be back. read more

This location has only been open a few days and the level of service, food quality, kitchen timing and attention to detail is impressive. We arrived around 6pm on a Tuesday and there was already a line of folks waiting. We were immediately greeted by the host who started to take our name, but after spotting two open bar seats we beelined to grab those babies. We did it all, the margarita tasting flight, trio of dips with chips, a variety of tacos and have to say everything was stellar. We're still talking about the small details like food presentation, drink garnishes, overall service and vibes. WTG!!!! read more

Literally if I could live there I would. I love this place. I tried it the first time during Halloween and have gone back an unhealthy amount of times since they really go all out with the decor for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day. I wish they did more holidays and I would be at every one ! The staff is sooo nice. They go above and beyond to make sure they not only get your order right but that you truly enjoy your experience. Order the titanic you won't regret it ! The drinks are good and strong and the food is everything. I've tried just about everything on the menu and nothing disappoints The best part is , it's budget friendly . Nothing is over priced like most places in atlanta so you can get alot for your money read more

The ambiance and vibes are top tear this is definitely the place to go in the spring and summer. I felt like I was on vacation haha . The drinks are amazing I highly recommend the passion fruit margarita frozen. We ordered the chicken tacos which were perfect and tried both the fish tacos and a picanto steak taco the battered fish taco is definitely 10/10 will order again. Seeing as this location just opened up it's obvious there are a few kinks that need to be worked out. Though our sever tried their best to be attentive they really dropped a few balls imo . First we ordered queso that we never received nor was it even put in . And the second was we also placed an order to go that they clearly forgot to put in as well because when we mentioned that's what we were waiting for they rushed to see the hold up and we looked at the QR code paperless check and it wasn't on there and a minute later it popped up. So we sat for over 20 minutes for the Togo to arrive . Though we observed them really trying to give the best service with friendlyness it seemed like if you didn't order everything in that first initial go around they forgot the moment they walked away. Please note there is a service charge for the convince of paperless receipts while it's less than two dollars it's pretty wild imo to charge for a convenience the restaurants enforced. But either way definitely a great place to bring out of town guest . The updates to the previous restaurant is beautiful this is definitely a great addition to Lawrenceville. read more

I tried Rreal Tacos and enjoyed it. That said, the Christmas quesabirria and chicken birria ramen absolutely delivered. The quesabirria had that perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, rich birria flavor with just the right amount of heat and depth. Every bite tasted intentional, not overdone. Now the real risk-taker for me was the chicken birria ramen. I love fusion food, but I'm also very skeptical of it. Too often it feels forced or gimmicky. Ramen + birria can easily go wrong--but this worked beautifully. The broth was bold, comforting, and layered, the chicken was tender, and it somehow felt both indulgent and familiar at the same time. Honestly, I haven't seen a fusion this good since Trunks and Goten fused into Gotenks on Dragon Ball Z. Rare, powerful, and executed correctly read more
