I always go to the same place when I go to Chattahoochee Food Works so I wanted to try something new, and I was really dissapointed. I ordered a simple chicken taco and so bland. The menu does say that the cilantro, sauces and onions are added by the customer so it was pretty clear, but I still was disappointed when I received a tortilla with chicken. Maybe I thought it would come with cheese or something, but they are very literal in their menu, so that's a heads up.I also ordered the birria and that was much better. The birria sauce is on the side, so its just chicken or meat with cheese and onions, and you add the sauce. Aside from that, they have a special every day of the week. When I went it was a $7 sangria which was okay. The other thing is that they were really slow even though the place didn't seem all that crowded, but maybe that is just my perception. read more

I tried the Gordita with beyond meat with fish taco and they were pretty good. I was STARVING and inhaled my food, which may have contributed to the aftermath. Good: the Gordita gave me hard fried arepa vibes but was delicious. I expected it to look different (idk why) but it's like two hard friend arepas with a bunch of stuff in between. It definitely hit the spot and I ate 2 in one sitting. The fish taco was also good and for both, I added a bunch of onions, cilantro and salsas. Aftermath: shortly after inhaling 2 gorditas and 1 taco, my stomach was bubbling. Idk if it was the speed at which I ate or the quality of food but it happened without remorse. Overall, the food was good and I'd try it again. read more

Having had been to the food works on multiple occasions now, I wanted to venture from my typical reliable spots. After much debate, I decided to try their Pork Burrito and take advantage of the free cilantro, limes, salsas, hot sauces, and onion offered at the front. As much as I want to say this was a phenomenal burrito, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed. My qualms are that it was not very filled the ingredients could have used a bit more seasoning. All the sauces definitely helped but it did feel like it was lacking. Staff were great and it still is some place I'd like to give another try. read more

La Luz is located within Chattahoochee Works. They had a special due to ATL Taco Week October 2nd to the 8th. The special was 2 birria tacos and esquire. Esquite came in a cup and contained corn, lime, crema, and cotija cheese. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. They explained all the menu items. They offer chicken and beef birria tacos. You can't change the special. They have a toppings bar. They had diced onions, cilantro, lime, salsa, salsa Verde, and the cute little plastic 1oz containers with lids to put your toppings in. I'm a big fav Verde Salsa along with lime, onions, and cilantro on my tacos. The tacos also came with the dipping sauce. The tacos had a decent amount of filling. The sauce was very thin and kind of bland. The salsa Verde had more flavor to me. I put that on both my tacos. The esquite was different to me. I had never tried it before. I would like it more with less cheese in it. Reminded me of a creamed corn but not as sweet and more liquid. The tacos were okay. Not bad. I would try other items on the menu. The service was great. The pricing was decent. read more

The Gordita with Al Pastor was very good! The shell is soft yet crispy. The Al Pastor was very flavorful and my only complaint is I would have liked more pineapple. The picture doesn't do it justice but the Gordita is a good size. I love the cheese they use. I also purchased the sangria margarita swirl. This margarita might be stronger than the drinks they serve at the bar! 2 and I was feeling great! Highly recommend the Gordita. read more

Taqueria La Luz is one of the better stalls in The Works. I always experience fast service and fresh food whenever I visit. This visit I ordered two fish tacos; one prepared with slaw and the other with lettuce. I definitely prefer the taco with the slaw better. The chips and salsa were a nice portion size for the price. read more

Stopped by here as we were grabbing several items from various stalls and was craving a quesadilla. Service was super quick and nice. I ordered the Campechano Quesadilla. We waited maybe 5 minutes for our hot quesadilla. It had a very good portion of meat and was well seasoned, but found it to be extremely oily. Overall, a reasonably priced option but not the healthiest. read more

Taqueria La Luz - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It is located inside the Chattahoochee Food Works food hall. The customer service was fine but the tacos didn't live up to expectations, you can get better else where for less. The mushroom taco could've used more mushrooms it wasn't even half full but it was tasty. The chicken taco- the chicken by itself was underseasoned but when you add the onion, cilantro and salsa (you add yourself) it made it much better. The steak taco- maaaaannnnn the steak was TOUGH I mean like chewing rubber tough and didn't have much seasoning to it. The chips & salsa- salsa was great but the chips didn't have enough salt & were just okay. Parking- if you can't find parking in the front there is a garage in the back that is free and it's not a long walk to the food hall. read more

Tried Taqueria La Luz for the first time this past Friday with some friends after visiting Dr. Scofflaw. We arrived at the food hall rather late, close to closing time. So most places were closed already but taqueria la luz was still open, so we decided to try it out. I got an al pastor taco and my fiancé got the chicken quesadilla, which we shared. Honestly, I am so happy we got both these things. The food was excellent. The Al Pastor taco might've been the best pastor taco I have had in Georgia, and I have tried a lot of al pastor tacos. It was super flavorful, and they even had a mini bar where you could add more cilantro, onions, and a few sauces they had to offer. The quesadilla was also very good too. It was cheesy and had the right amount of chicken as well. We didn't wait too long for our food, but this is because the food was made fresh and wasn't just heated up. Definitely worth the wait. Pricing wasn't too bad. It was pretty standard for food in a food hall. Will definitely give this place another visit in the future. read more

My husband and I visited The Works yesterday for Mardi Gras. We decided to order from Taqueria La Luz. We ordered 4 birria chicken tacos and an order of queso and chips, which came with salsa as well. The birria chicken tacos were okay, but I've had better. Same with the queso. It was a little underwhelming. Customer service was okay. There are other options in The Works, so I'll probably try something different next time I go. read more

La Luz tacos are so good. They are one of my favs at the Work. I prefer the corn tortillas tacos bobet the flour but everything is delicious.

My mom and I went to The Works one Saturday around lunch. My mom had never been, so I wanted to show her around. For lunch, we opted for Taqueria La Luz. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla with a margarita sangria; my mom got a chicken huarache with a margarita sangria. We also got a side of elote. We waited near the counter for our food to be ready; it took a little longer than expected, but they were busy, so I didn't mind too much. At the end of the counter is a condiment section for salsa, onions, and cilantro. We found seating and sat down to dig in. First, the margarita sangria is EVERYTHING! Just one of these had me feeling tipsy...now every time I go to The Works, I have to get one lol. My quesadilla was really good. The meat was tender and seasoned and there was the perfect ratio of meat to cheese. My mom liked her huarache; I tasted it and it was pretty good. We weren't fans on the elote; it was kinda hard/crunchy. For the quality, the food was slightly overpriced; however, the drinks were definitely worth it. read more

The tacos are not bad, I've just had better. I'll attribute my experience to it being close to closing, but the tacos were...meh. I love.... love..love al pastor tacos, but the Pinedale felt like it came out of a can and used as a topping and not a marinade. The birria was salty, but the consume was very tasty. I'll reiterate the comments a lot of people have...the salsa is good. The tortillas weren't warm... more likely straight out of the wrapper fresh or a whisper of time on the flat iron. I think if the tacos were more competively priced or filling, I'd have a more pleasant rating. I want my tacos overstuffed and falling out of the bottom or at a minimum... the end of the taco. The sangria margarita was tasty. The staff was nice and patient. What i didn't order but looked good: the churros looked amazing. The "bowl" was huge and probably more doing than the a la carte tacos. 4 tacos + 1 birria and ONE small margarita was ~$32 read more

Lovveee Taqueria La Luz! Literally order from there multiple times per week! Their tacos are authentic and taste amazing! Their burritos are fulfilling and their quesadillas are fantastic!

Authentic to Mexico City and thoughtfully crafted Mexican cuisine. For anyone who has been to Mexico City, you know that CDMX has some of the best food in the world and Chef Luz brings that to Atlanta's Westside. We stumbled upon Taqueria La Luz on accident for our anniversary lunch. We walked into The Works not realizing they have not officially opened. Chef Luz was working on her new menu and offered us to join her in the tasting experience. We crafted us steak sopes that brought us right back to the rich culinary experience in Mexico City. The sope had a perfectly done fried mesa with layers of steak, avacado and homemade salsa. In addition to the great meal we had, Chef Luz was a great host and a local entrepreneur we will be supporting for years to come. read more

Wish yelp allows 0 stars. In the last few days I have noticed they are doing paid promotion in Instagram stories with a crispy cheese, it looks very unique. Today on a Saturday afternoon I drove for 30 mins to go there and try the crispy cheese. When I reached there, it was not in the menu, I spoke with guy who was in the counter and he said it is only for advertising purposes. To me it is an absolute unethical way of doing business, that you are trying to bring in people showing a unique item and don't actually have it. Shame on you guys!! Have some character!! read more

One of the new spots open at the works. Will update this review after a second try. Focused on authentic Mexico City style tacos, they have a simple menu and a few drinks options as well. Seeing the spinning spit roast used to cook the meat got me super excited to try this place out. Stopped by on a busy Saturday afternoon and tried a couple of tacos, one steak and one chicken. They were pretty plain, good initial flavor, but the meat was also very dry. I think they were at the tail end of a rush and this was just a day or so after opening. There is normally a toppings station for onion, cilantro, salsa, etc, but it was almost all completely gone. A few weeks later we went back to the food hall, a friend got a few tacos was very happy. We tried some chips and guacamole, very tasty! It appears they are improving and will definitely give them another try! read more

My husband and I love Mexican food. We heard alot about this place so we decided to try it today. Before we ordered, my husband had to go to the restroom. He told me as he was washing his hands , the same guy (cashier with glasses) who worked at the restaurant used the urinal, zipped up his pants , and walked straight out the restroom !! I was soooo disgusted because why would you serve food and not have the decency to wash your hands before returning to work. Immediately lost my appetite and the business some future customers! read more

We love The Works! First time at La Luz and it was really good. We thought the food was fresh (and good sized portions) and the prices were fair and reasonable. The staff was very friendly and happy to help us. We ordered the chips/salsa/queso, a chicken quesadilla, steak taco, and a fish taco. We thought everything was good but my personal favorite was the steak taco, which was really flavorful and juicy! If you find yourself at The Works, check this place out! read more

The tacos aren't massive but they are very tasty. They are Mexican style so just come with meat. Then there's a small toppings bar where you can self serve onions, cilantro, salsa etc onto your taco. I've now tried chicken, steak and fried tilapia and all were great! The sangria slushy is also good! read more

What you need to know: Decent tacos, STRONG drinks, not too spicy (or flavorful) salsas, super watery queso dip. On our first visit to the works, we decided to try two places, this being one of them. Food: We got the steak tacos and chips/queso/salsa. The salsa they gave us was actually pretty good. However, the queso was very weird. It started out super watery - which it usually is when it's served very very hot, except this was lukewarm. The kicker is it never clumped up or hardened - just stayed watery as it cold. Extra weird and makes me think there's not any real cheese in it. Had a decent flavor but this weird texture put me off. The steak tacos were ok, the steak was good but wasn't seasoned (surprise surprise), and the tortillas were very flimsy and kept falling apart after I poured in some of their self-serve salsa to bring some flavor (also, self-serve...during the end of the pandemic? At least portion out the servings!). These salsa were unfortunately not as good as the salsa that came with the chips. Fairly bland, not much spice. Disappointing but to be expected. Basically, this is bland hipster Mexican food. Drinks: Their saving grace was definitely their amazing margarita sangria swirl. One of these had me extra tipsy. They take their regular margarita and pour it into the freeze machine, pour some sangria into the bottom of the cup and then swirl in the now-frozen margarita. Delicious and very very boozy. Service: Mediocre. Guy at the register took our order, but wasn't really friendly or courteous. Could've just been an off day. Price: Spent over $40 on 3 tacos (no, not not 3 orders, just 3 tacos), 1 order of chips and queso, and 3 drinks. Wayyyy overpriced for me. The drinks may have been worth it, but the rest definitely wasn't. All in all, overpriced Mexican food, not really all that authentic - especially with the PLETHORA of legit Mexican spots around town. If you want tacos support your local taqueria. If you want strong good drinks, come here. read more

I was underwhelmed by the food. I ordered a chicken taco and Mexican street corn. The corn looked delicious but lack flavor and it was crunchy. I never had street corn before, but something tells me it wasn't supposed taste like that. As for the chicken taco, I was given a corn tortilla with chicken crumbs. At the end of the checkout counter lied a condiment station with 3 ingridents to add to my taco. The end. read more

First time trying and the tacos didn't meet my expectations. The mushrooms tacos fully dresses with the all the options from the toppings bar was good 8/10. The chicken tacos was a 6/10 with nothing on it. It was under seasoned. The chicken tacos fully dresses was a 8.5/10. Don't think about the steak taco. The steak was over cooked and rubbery. 0/10. The chips and salsa was ok. 6/10. Overall out of 10 I would give the restaurant at 5.5. The customer service was great. By the way the tacos are $3 each. read more

I stopped here for a light-night bite to eat, and they were so nice about letting me order despite it being apparent that they were about to close down for the night (it was about 9pm). I ordered two tacos - the fish taco and the al pastor. Both were very tasty and well-made authentic street tacos. They come pretty bare bones, and there's a toppings bar where you can add salsa (verde or traditional), onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. Once those tacos were dressed up, they were *chef's kiss*. That salsa verde is great. At about $3 a taco, I thought it was reasonably priced, and the service was quick despite a line of people. The woman behind me in line was raving to me about their margaritas, so next time I'll try one of those, too! read more

Great place for simple street tacos!!! My go to at The Works. Reasonably priced too!!! Very quick as well

The guacamole was great, but the quesadilla was horrible. It was the thinnest, skimpiest, and driest quesadilla I've ever had. I ordered the chicken birria quesadilla, it looked like a child plain chicken quesadilla. I asked the women behind the counter and she stated that they just cook the chicken in the consume but they don't actually prepare them in a birria style. The chicken was completely absent of all moisture, how do you cook something in a broth and it end up that dry?? I really thought it was going to be good, and was anticipating trying other items on the menu, but instead it was a total waste of money and a huge disappointment since I was really looking forward to trying that place. read more
