    Talking Tacos in Buckhead is a fantastic late-night find. I stopped by after hours and indulged in the bang bang shrimp tacos, which were absolutely amazing, quick service too. The spot stays open until 2 AM, making it perfect for those late-night cravings. With 11 different taco options, including a vegetarian and a vegan choice, there's something for everyone. The exterior patio is a great place to relax and enjoy your meal.

    Soooo I didn't like the birria tacos I've had better so I'll need to come back & possibly try something different Do NOT get a cup of water Buckhead has the worst tasting water The ladies are super Sweet, lots of smiles (I love a good smile) It's a cute & cozy spot-just sit outside and people watch & listen to the chitter chatter and the traffic I'll research to see what's the good over here because that money wasn't well spent -ugghh

    Great late night food after a concert! It's hard to mess up Mexican food and they did a solid job! Got the taki birria and chips with guac!

    Was out late night looking for something to eat and this placed popped up as still being open. Surprised at how busy they were on a Wednesday at 2am. You order your food at a kiosk and can select Togo or dine in,ordering was pretty simple. The wait was a little long but they were really busy. They had the best horchata I've tasted in a while. My tacos and tres leches cake were good. Only complaint would be my cake was placed sideways in my bag causing it to spill all in the bottom of my bag.

    Chicken Quesabirria

    My first time dining with Talkin Taco was a pleasant surprise. I got a quesabirria taco and it was just an awesome blend of sweet and savory flavors. The pricing was pretty fair for the amount of food you receive. I did not eat inside the storefront so I cannot attest to that aspect of what the restaurant environment offers but for take out orders, I advise you just check that everything is included especially if you ordered dessert or other specialty items.

    Tried this place out on a random Monday because I heard about the hype via social media. One good thing about this location is they have a private lot. Another additional good thing about the parking it's free. The food here is very good! This place has two options on the way to order. You can choose to go the traditional route and order with a cashier or do it on a kiosk. Once you pay you will receive a number & someone will bring your order to you. I got the option for different tacos, carne asade, birria (which is my favorite) and a chicken which had a sweet sauce on it that I didn't care for. The ambiance has a Mexican aspect and mainly showcasing authentic Mexican culture throughout the restaurant. Since I went with two other people we all got different things to try. The chips and guacamole were good and seasoned just right. I will be back for their great food and drinks. I got the mango lemonade which did not disappoint

    Birria tacos $13.99

    Well I finally got here. I intended to eat here a couple times earlier but always got sidelined. Definitely a unique taqueria. I was dining alone and went with the birria tacos. This has become my go to taco choice and these were really good. Honestly they were amazing. The taco dinner came with 3 tacos for $13.99. I added a Mexican soda for $3 more so with tip lunch was $20. So a solid 4 stars. Hard to rate $20 taco lunch a 5 but this was close. I am going with 4 stars today but will be back.

    Birria burrito

    I love coming to this location. They stay open until 4AM on weekends and the food is always good. I got the birria burrito and it was huge and tasty. Nachos and specialty items are also good.

    Fun and fast service

    We had Two taco trios, they were all insanely good, like the best tacos I've had here in GA. The horchata was sooo smooth and velvety, more like an amazing dessert than a drink (lol) but delicious. The churros were actually the area of opportunity here. In my opinion they needed to be crispier. The food was amazing, the service fast. I left a personal item at the table, I called an hour later, they had it. I came back for it and they were super nice. Speaks volumes to me. Overall 10/10

    Its ok Cute decor, fast service I had a shrimp taco and birria steak quesadillas. It was ok. I prefer the shrimp taco over the quesadilla. The consome was basic

    I've lost count of how many times I've been here since discovering this spot earlier this year. Whether I'm coming in during the peak lunch rush or well past midnight, the experience is consistently amazing. One thing I really appreciate is the seating; regardless of the time, I've never had to wait for a table, whether I'm solo or with a group of five. The decor is modern and upbeat, and while it's great during the day, the vibe at night is definitely my favorite. The Go-Tos: I usually order the Birria tacos paired with the Mango Lemonade (it hits every time). If I'm doing takeout, the chicken burrito is my move. I always leave satisfied. Major Plus: Everything here is Halal!

    Let me start by saying I have gone to this place on three separate occasions within one week. This should tell you enough! When I first went to visit talking tacos. I was really in awe of the set up because you place your order you find your own table you eat and you leave there is no table service, which is quite cool. However, they do bring your food out to you. It was a busy night when we went in and we were immediately notified by staff that the wait time would be 20 minutes for seating and 20 minutes for food however I was determined to try this place. We started off with our drinks. We had the mango lemonade and then I ordered the crunchy wrap. I also ordered the Birria Mac we also had churros and we had guac and chips as well as the queso dip. It was absolutely amazing. Once we sat down. We were given our food within 20 minutes. It took a while for us to find a table at first however, the staff immediately cleaned off the table and we were set. The ambience is quite unique super cool to look at all the paintings on the wall And it's quite loud but they had good music playing. Did I mention this place is 24hrs!? 10/10 loved it! Great food and great service!

    Ok birria tacos. Good tortilla. Meat lacks flavor. Not enough cheese. Consome is decent. You order at a kiosk or on your phone. We got 1 order birria tacos and 1 order 3 mix and match tacos, 1 small queso and 2 bottles of water for a little over $50. This seems expensive for the quality. Probably won't be back, but also not terrible if you're in the neighborhood.

    Decent spot to try if you're in the area. It's always crowed so, consider ordering online prior to arriving. If not, be prepared to wait.

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    We came here last night to celebrate my sister's birthday with a large group. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice kicked off on a really sour note. Right when we walked in, the staff complained to us that we hadn't called ahead to have a "smaller, special menu" crafted for a large party. To make matters worse, they loudly announced to the whole table right off rip that they wouldn't split checks separately--only an even split. It felt incredibly rude, lazy, and unwelcoming. The irony is that the large group size wasn't even an issue; we staggered our arrivals and the patio was completely empty. The kicker- my brother in law ended up paying the whole tab at the end anyways! so all of that initial laziness & nastiness for NOTHING! Throughout the night, the service felt incredibly rushed and stressed. While we were still eating our appetizers, the busser was aggressively trying to clear our plates because the mains were coming. Our server was very short with us the entire time, which was confusing because the restaurant didn't even have a stressful vibe. She recommended a main dish to me that I really didn't care for, though I will say the salsa was unique and probably the best part of the meal. Shoutout to the one staff member who was actually friendly, but overall, this is not the kind of place where you leave feeling like you had a nice restaurant experience- at least I personally didn't.. Too bad we didn't just go to C&S next door which we always love. Regardless tho, my sister had a blast, but that's entirely because she has a wonderful crew of great friends, not because of Casi Cielo.

    The first time I tried to come to El Rey Del Taco, I couldn't find a parking spot. I've been back…read morethree times since then, and I understand the hype. They have quickly become my favorite place to get Mexican food. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Buford Highway in a small shopping plaza. The lot is medium sized, but they are sharing it with a few other businesses, and depending on the night it could definitely be hard to find a spot so keep that in mind. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is decently sized with both booths and regular tables. There are beautiful paintings hung all over, and the decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a little part of Mexico. Atmosphere is super casual and comfortable. Food and drinks Now the menu here is massive. Take your time and prepare to be overwhelmed, because everything sounds amazing. Here's a breakdown of what we got each time. 1st visit - El Rey Del Taco Parrillada It's meant to be shared with two people, and comes with a pound of beef ribs, your choice of chicken or al pastor meat, six shrimp wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese and chorizo, plus tortillas and charro beans. It was just as delicious as it sounds. 2nd visit - Tacos The pastor con queso and the shrimp al pastor with cheese, onions, and al pastor sauce. You're welcome. 3rd visit - Fajitas Fajitas Texanas, with steak chicken and shrimp. There are 7 different combinations of sides that you can get. We got white rice, salad, and charro beans. This can also be shared, which my wife and I did. Speaking of the charro beans, they have the best beans I have ever had. For drinks I got the supreme regular mango margarita. My wife got strawberry. Both great. Service Food came out fast, but other than that the service was a little slow. Our waitress was nice, but it did seem that she forgot about us for a little while. The food was so good that I forgave it, plus at the end of the day I got everything I needed. Verdict If you're looking for amazing food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to get it. It just might end up being your favorite too! Until next time!
