Restaurants to Try in Atlanta - Eater Atlanta

"El Mexicano, the beloved Moreland Avenue Mexican restaurant near East Atlanta, is closing this Sunday [May 20]. The restaurant, owned by Roxana and Octavio Aguirre, is known for its addictive street tacos. However, there’s a ray of hope, as the Aguirre’s will open Patria Cocina this summer on the border between Grant Park and Peoplestown." - Beth McKibben

The food was great here. Service was wonderful. Definitely need to visit again. The drinks alone make it worth the trip here! Only disappointment was chorizo. It was dry as heck. The steak was miles better.

I've been back about 5 times since the last review and am bumping from 2 to 4 stars. The food has always been good, and the margaritas too, but there is still room for improvement on the ambiance. They really ought to expand w/ a patio on the side. First Review from 2016: No ambiance. They need to replace the fluorescent "office" lights with 2200K LED pendants to every table, embrace the large lot they have by expanding seating out to a covered patio on the side, and sell good margaritas by the pitcher. Food is exactly what you would expect. Good salsa and predictable but well executed classics. I think they could earn 4 stars with $10k in electrical improvements. Hopefully they'll figure that out. :)

Service always top drawer here. They are very accommodating to groups. Food is great! Haven't tried anything on the menu yet that I didn't like, either. I eat here several times a month, and I hardly ever eat out anymore.

**Permanently Closed for business, we will miss you** Best Mexican South of I-20! Food is great, drinks are tasty, staff is friendly. Con: Be prepared to get on the wait list to be seated. Don't let the outside appearance fool you; this or far from a hole in the wall or sleazy Mexican restaurant. There's a wrap around patio, flat screens for games and an enjoyable environment inside. Prices are reasonable as well.

We love visiting El Mexicano. The food n drink is terrific. Sophia/ manager, is delightful. She is professional and smiles all the time. And Ashley/ newbie, served us up a fine meal and stayed in touch often. Excellent service all around.

Great food! I have never say down to eat but it is always busy when I've stopped to pickup my food. The staff all seems very friendly on the phone and whenI pick up my food. This is my go to food on my way to the starlight drive-in. The super nachos and Mexican street tacos are a great shareable combination!
