Mexican Restaurant · Northwest Atlanta · 160 tips and reviews
Leslie: Same owners as the Vortex; best atmosphere in Atlanta: Dia de los Muertos themed; great chips; extensive menu of amazing Margaritas & Tequila Cocktails; fresh ingredients; affordable a la carte menu
Mexican Restaurant · Bolton · 136 tips and reviews
Leslie: Sit on the main level. Established crowd & atmosphere. Not my fave but everyone seems to love this place. Just be prepared to wait on a weekend night, and don't come if you're claustrophobic.
Mexican Restaurant · Berkeley Park · 116 tips and reviews
Leslie: The new world Rio Bravo--complete with high ceilings, painted exposed piping, brightly colored balloons, large coca cola cups, excellent queso and combos. Try the Manterrey Chicken Salad w/Mango dres.
Leslie: Sit on the patio and order a pitcher. Good atmosphere & menu items, walking distance to Northside Tav and Ormsby's. But- the chips are AWFUL & They don't have Coca Cola on tap (you get a can)
Mexican Restaurant · Berkeley Park · 7 tips and reviews
Leslie: If you want to get drunk, pick this place. STRONG margaritas. Nothing too special about the atmosphere. Run of the mill shopping center Mexican place. But trust me on the Margaritas. Big TVs, too.
1136 Crescent Ave NE (btw 13th St. NE & 14th St. NE), Atlanta, GA
Tex-Mex Restaurant · Midtown · 109 tips and reviews
Leslie: BEST CHIPS anywhere in town. Cinnamonny almost. The house Margarita isn't very strong. Befriend your server and ask her what kind to order. Awesome tacos and appetizers. Excellent Chicken Soup.
359 W Ponce de Leon Ave (at Fairview Ave), Decatur, GA
Taco Restaurant · 86 tips and reviews
Leslie: Try the Taco of the Week. . I had a mango chicken taco here that changed my life. All of the tacos are good (soft shelled). Shrimp and Grits is the most famous menu item.
Mexican Restaurant · Castleberry Hill · 107 tips and reviews
Leslie: TORTILLA MACHINE. They have a fresh tortilla machine that you can watch. On the pricier side, but well worth it for the experience. It's like you're in a Tree house in an ancient Mayan Jungle
1860 Peachtree Rd NW (28th Street NW), Atlanta, GA
Mexican Restaurant · Buckhead · 107 tips and reviews
Leslie: Nice atmosphere--in a more upscale way than average, but not formal. Slightly pricier, especially for drinks. but the Tortillas are fresh, and I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered
Leslie: Nuzzled between Marlow's & PIE, this is a delightfully festive spot for drinks or dinner. Cozy up on the airplane seats on the far right opposite the bar, or sit at the bar. Nice bartenders.
