Red Pepper Taqueria - Buckhead

Ken and Corey and Alan and rest of the staff here is so friendly makes u feel like home. I had the appetizer Elote fresh corn so delish and the shrimp tacos were amazing and fresh shrimp were huge. Ended w a churro so sweet yummy 10 stars if I could will return when back in town. Thanks for making me feel like home.

Overall, 1000/10 recommend. I really wish the brunch menu was longer because the food was 1000/10. I got their honey hot lemon pepper wings (THAT CAME WITH ELOTE), steak and eggs, and brisket potato breakfast bowl. Bottomless mimosas definitely did what they were supposed to, sending my love to the bartender. Two amazing servers that were super attentive to our orders and making sure our glass were full! Music was 10/10. Just loved this spot, definitely can’t wait to go back.

The ambiance is fun and welcoming. The cheese dip was delicious. Other items were okay but have had better at other places in the area. This is really a drinking and social gathering place not for foodies.

This restaurant has a great chilled vibe. The food was good and they had good customer service. The one thing I didn’t like was that the parking was the only thing that I didn’t like because they only do valet parking according to the young man outside. Also, he stated that he only gets paid off of tips and then he said it cost $2 to park my car. He also had an attitude because I didn’t want to give my $2 to him. This is why I’m giving this restaurant a 4.

Went there one Sunday for BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS!!! They were great n strong, the server was on time keeping them rolling! Every time I was getting low, he came to refill! I had a breakfast burrito that was satisfying; should’ve ordered a side or something else with it. Also had shrimp n grits with my friend & that definitely was amazing! I’d say they just gotta keep an eye on the bathroom floors; they were kindve wet in there. Don’t want anyone to slip.

I really like the outside area, the food was good. Mimosas were a little weak and we barely saw our waiter. Not her fault, they clearly just didn’t have enough servers.

I have been during different times of the days and Brunch is my favorite time, hands down. There is live music, great food, mimosas flowing, fun energy, and an overall great time. The food is good as well. Parking is valet only.

The food here was so good I got oysters and pineapple with veggies and shrimp and salmon it was 10/10 also all the servers were really nice Cody and Sabrina are the 2 that stood out check this place out if your in atlanta buckhead area

So the red pepper in this area is pretty much a staple. It has indoor and outdoor seating, is open till at least midnight and later on some evenings, and it's just enough food to help you cult your stomach before you go out. I only came for drinks but I have had the food there before and it was pretty decent. It's typical Tex-Mex style from what you would consider, not pure Mexican but that's perfectly okay. I came in to sit at the bar and ordered Margaritas. The waitress was super cool and very friendly so I have no issue with the service. From the street you can't tell but it looks a lot bigger than what You see. There is a lot of outdoor seating and it's covered so if it does happen to be a nice day it's really great to sit outside. But also if it starts to rain while you're eating you won't have an issue because there's a covered area for you. On the inside they're also plenty of seats as well. It's decorated and it's very colorful in us not too bad on the eyes. It's not a fancy type of restaurant so don't assume that but it is a nice spot it It's usually very well kept. Depending on how many people are there you may have to kind of walk over people to get to some place like the bathroom because as many seats there are, it has been known to be full. That's just a layout thing, not a big deal. If you're in the mood for good food to get you from A to B, check it out. And they have happy hour too so you might want to keep that in mind!

Great spot for an after work wind down or brunch on the weekends. The vibe is extremely casual and chill, with plenty of seating inside and covered indoor/outdoor tent seating at the entrance. The customer service was great, ask for Malcolm at the bar, and order the frozen mango margarita! :) The tacos were chef's kiss! I had the calamari, salmon, and the beef. The dip trio: Salsa, Guacamole, and Queso were so fresh, and the queso was the perfect texture. They have $10 taco/drink specials (Ask about different days and times for these) Valet parking available.

I ordered a fajita bowl with blackened shrimp as our waiter suggest it was one of the good things on the menu, cilantro rice (which i loveee cilantro but did not like this) at all. Bowl was a no for me. Also ordered chips, queso (was ok) & salsa which was good. Shrimp tacos were also ok. I personally will not return. I will say our waiter was great to us! Very attentive!

Tracy and Malcolm are my favorite bartenders here!!! Always greet me right when I walk in and know my order by heart. I think they also changed cooks recently? The food is so fresh! The torta is my favorite, then the grilled oysters. If you want inexpensive and fun come here!

Guacamole on the nachos was brown.. sour cream curdled.. they were out of every single tap beer except 2.. the "happy hour" $3 lager was out. Ok fine, but offer the other 2 beers left at that price then, no? Queso on the nachos was good and staff were friendly.

A bit like Cheers! Feels so familiar, fun and consistent. Matthew and Bria are awesome sauce! Go and enjoy!

Stopped in for happy hour on a Friday for 2! We didn't have a reservation but we were still quickly seated and given the option to sit inside, outside, or at the bar! The ambiance was nice with lots of lighting and seating! Once we were seated, it did take a few moments before a server came over but it wasn't a big deal, we weren't in a rush and were happy to chat and catch up for a few! We ordered a round of margaritas each which were tasty! For food we tried 3 birria tacos with rice and beans, the guacamole/queso sampler, and we enjoyed it all a lot! The queso did get cold fairly quickly but no worries we were pouring it on everything, haha! Pricing was fair and they offer $5 valet parking behind the restaurant!

Parking is valet only and they work for tips. I came here for mimosas and appetizers with friends to pass time. We had chips & salsa/queso and the calamari. The calamari was really good! The ambiance was nice it was chill, there is plenty of seating outside on the patio and inside. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I'd recommend this place for a pregame spot. The drinks were good and so were the appetizers.

I came in on a random Tuesday with a friend. Valet parking was convenient and doesn't break the bank. My friend and I lucked up and sat at the bar with Tracy. She was very friendly. She made lots of recommendations and everything she suggested we ordered and it was great. I had the wings and my friend ate calamari. We also tried to salmon tacos. Delicious. It wasn't very busy so it was quiet and mellow. I shall return.

I ordered two tacos here, the beef barbacoa and the carne asada. They were decent. Not the best tacos but not the worst either. I thought they were a little bland and the toppings were not evenly distributed. The asada was better than the barbacoa. The barbacoa was a little dry. I will say though, they STUFFED those tacos, they were THICC and they used two tortillas. For one of them they even used three tortillas which was a little extra but I'm not complaining. No one likes a soggy taco. I also ordered chips and guac. The chips were super warm and fresh. I got the guac "hot" but the hot was literally not spicy at all. They had a habanero option and I wish I had gotten that instead The service was excellent! Raven at the bar was so nice. I do feel like the food was a bit slow to come out even though it wasn't that busy. Parking is valet, it's $5

Technically,no stars. workers are unable to attend customers due to lack of general management. However, food is good

I have heard about bottomless mimosas at Red Pepper and my friends and I decided to finally come try it. We came on a Saturday morning around 12 and it wasn't too busy so we got seated pretty quickly. To start, we obviously got the bottomless mimosas and they were delicious! For my main, I got the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! The food wasn't outstanding but I thought it was very decent brunch food. I do wish the menu had more options because I did feel limited in my options. Parking was valet for their tiny lot as a heads up but the experience overall was good! I've had better brunch food but would definitely come here again for the bottomless.

I visited the Briarcliff location for the first time. Although it was a slow night, I sat at the bar to watch some sports....which I frequently do at various restaurants/bars/pubs! The reason for my review is plain and simple.....THE BAR STOOLS ARE HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE... low backs dig into your back, hard seats are very uncomfortable after just a short period of time. Remember, watching sports is usually a 3 hour affair on the average, and these bar stools are TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THAT!!!!!

My girlfriends and I came here on a Saturday for bottomless brunch! There was valet parking and we were seated super quickly with no wait and plenty of seating. We decided to do bottomless which was $20 (pitchers are also $20 and our server recommended just doing the bottomless). Our server did a great job in keeping our drinks filled and frequently checked on our table. For brunch, I had the Chorizo Benedict and split a potatoes side with one of my friends. We also had the french toast and breakfast burrito. The chorizo was excellent and the egg was cooked perfectly. The Benedict was small but it came with a yummy beet salad on the side and with potatoes as a side it was plenty! Overall, great vibes and while you can definitely find cheaper spots for brunch/bottomless, still a solid spot and good experience!

I want my money back. The wait was 1hr and 15 mins for some food with no flavor, dry rice and old guacamole.

The food was AMAZING! Matthew was our server and was a great time. Bria made our drink and they were the best margaritas I've ever had!! The music was amazing!

I've heard a lot buzz surrounding this restaurant regarding their brunch deals on the weekends. I went on a Monday to meet up with a friend for a quick bite. The parking is valet which is visible as soon as you turn into the restaurant. The price for the valet is 2 dollars anything additional you want to pay is considered a tip. Because of the day, there was no long waiting and me and my friend were seated immediately. Our server asked us for our drink orders. The margarita was 9 dollars which was a reasonable price. My friend got the classic margarita and I got the peach flavored margarita. My margarita tasted great but I didn't really taste the peach flavor. I was an hour too early for happy hour, which drinks would have been half off. Happy Hours for this restaurant is from 4pm to 6pm Monday through Friday. Like most restaurants, the menu is contact less by scanning a QR code. I believe the Covid restrictions for restaurants are very lax, with that being said our server did not wear a mask nor did any of the people in the restaurant. I opted to get appetizer order of nachos which wasn't an appetizer size. It was definitely packed with flavor. I got their carne asada tacos which were great as well. My friend got the shrimp and ground beef tacos with fries. Both dishes were good and very satisfying. The women's restroom was fairly small it only included one stall which you can imagine becomes congested during peak hours. One of the key gems about this place is the large outdoor dining area. During the nicer days, that area is a nice place to eat at. Due to the rainy weather, we couldn't utilize or dine out there. The price wasn't bad either. Overall this is a nice place to grab some tacos and enjoy with you friends/family.

DARIUS WAS TF AMAZING !!! I visited from Charlotte and I would recommend him to anybody . he is the sweetest soul and made sure we were well taking care of

I would say I have mixed feelings about this place I went on a Sunday around lunch, and parking wasn't too bad. The customer service at the entrance wasn't all that welcoming. She just said "how many" and took us to our table without pointing to the QR menu or any other communication. We got the queso and chips for the table which was way over priced in my opinion at $9. It was nice that it came with fresh cilantro, but I wouldn't get it again next time. The chips were a little too oily for my taste as well. We ended up getting 5 tacos at $4.50 each, the best to worst are as follows: blackened shrimp, grilled chicken, carne asada, al pastor, and gringo. I would definitely get the blackened chicken and grilled chicken ones again, the carne asada maybe, the other two probably not. The gringo taco was very wet and did not taste good at all. I usually like al pastor tacos, but this one wasn't the best in my opinion. I liked how it was a bar where you could probably go to watch football games while enjoying Mexican food. Our waitress was really nice as well. When it comes to Mexican food, there are more affordable options, but I have yet to find that kind of affordability in Buckhead, so maybe $4.50 a taco isn't the worst for the area. I'd go back again and try other menu items.

It's been years since I've gone to this Buckhead location but I had a friend invite me for food and drinks so I couldn't pass it up. We went mid day so it wasn't packed at all. Also they provide valet service which isn't expensive at all so take advantage if you don't want to look for parking. With how calm it was I didn't expect for it to take so long for our waitress to greet us and take our order but by the time she came we already knew what we wanted from the drinks to appetizer and entree. I had the pineapple frozen margarita ($9.00) to drink, the crispy calamari ($12.00) as my appetizer and a Carne Asada taco as well as two Kale Me Hungry Tacos at $3.99 a taco. It took no time for the drinks and appetizer to come out and then minutes later the tacos followed. The margarita was a bit on the bitter side so I'm not sure what went wrong in making it but I still finished it nonetheless. The calamari was good, crunchy and seasoned how I prefer it. The sweet chili lime sauce that came with the calamari was phenomenal. So good that I poured the remaining sauce on my tacos. The Carne Asado taco comes with grilled steak, pickled onions, cilantro and guajillo salsa. Amazing taco. The grilled steak and salsa is a great combination. Highly recommended. The Kale Me Hungry tacos are just that, filled with Kale. Too much Kale that it almost takes over the taco. However the shrimp was good. You can never good wrong with a shrimp taco and that sweet chili lime sauce enhanced the tacos for sure. Overall Red Pepper has been a good spot but this time could've been better. Of course I'll be back but maybe during happy hour or later in the day.

I love this restaurant! The best service and wonderful food. The ambiance is wonderful. Very fun music! Sam is my favorite server by far!!

Walked in and the hostess asked if we wanted to outside or in. It was hot out so we chose in. We were seated in the back. On first approach, the tables were filthy, so much so that one of the menus on the table was stuck and when peaked off it sounded like Velcro. Didn't get a chance to eat the food because after 10 minutes of waiting with no service, not even a water, we got up and left. I don't think I'll return. Even after people hyped it up. Not a good look.

The best thing about Red Pepper is the server Jax. I'd been there before a couple of times years ago & EVERYTHING sucked...food, drinks but especially the service & the wait time for my food/drinks. Just happened to be the only place around to eat this time so I tried it again, dreading what I would experience. This dude Ajax was on point! He wasn't even supposed to be our server but he saw we had waited a few minutes & jumped in to get us taken care of, apologizing for our wait. Our orders came out timely & perfectly. I will definitely return.

Well.. While on a outing with my mother and her mother in law we decided, lunch would be great! We were already in the Buckhead area and literally typed in restaurants near us and the Red Pepper Taqueria pops up as being the closest and they wanted Mexican anyways. It was a Sunday and bunch hours which totally slipped my mind. But it was 330 so I figured we can just stay it should clear out soon. It was all of our first time here and I must say EH! I had no idea this was the place to be on the weekend, if I would have been aware I would have surely avoided this place like the plague. We walked in and was seated right away! but the we waited every bit of 20 minutes just to get a water. The food, which we almost thought we never would get it came out cold, literally EVERYTHING even the queso. And this delay was not due to the busyness of the establishment I'm sure they are use to the weekend rush, our waitress was just... EH! But even though the food came out cold I must say I absolutely enjoyed the Kale Me Hungry, the avocado ranch on it is just divine. Now the Blackened Salmon I could have lived without it, I don't know if its because it was cold but NO! My mother order the "chefs special" salmon a la parilla after being in the place I'm not sure why she was expecting something gourmet. LOL! but when her plate arrived to the table she was almost in disbelief, she basically had a salad. she was expecting sautéed spinach but.. well they attempted, NOT! (Pictured Below). The drinks were well made and though the bartender was alone at the bar he was a BEAST, the drinks came out quick and were super tasty. My mom had the sangria and she absolutely enjoyed. And the drink prices were reasonably priced. This definitely a place you can go to get a buzz. They do have $15 bottomless mimosa which I'm going to assume that's why they are super popular on the weekend. Parking, well parking is valet only due to the location and the set up with parking. Its somewhat organized but its not as efficient as a valet only restaurant should be. Long story short, this is not a place you should go to as a family, well at least not on the weekend, I would return but probably with friends and after Bruch. After a few drinks and the crowd dispersed I can say we had a great time even though initially we were disappointed!

I came for Sunday brunch. I made reservations via Open Table. When I got there, I was told that they wasn't taking reservations because they were short staffed and that I had to wait 30min. Talk about being annoyed. Luckily I was able to get seating at the bar. The bartender was amazing and took great care of me. $20 bottomless mimosas with different flavors to choose from. I ordered the steak and eggs. My steak was a little over cooked and tough but it was flavorful. There was a dj and he had the vibes going. Valet on-site $2.

Great food and a solid happy hour menu. Ken, the bartender, was on top of everything. Always making sure we had everything we needed and keeping the bar atmosphere positive!

After a long and frustrating 8+ hour drive to the Atlanta area - actually, the frustration did not come until we got within a few miles of Dunwoody - the time we hit horrible traffic. And that would be the tone of the whole visit - construction and traffic and red lights. So needless to say, as soon as we got to our hotel, we did not want to get back into the car to go to dinner. Fortunately, Red Pepper Taqueria shares a parking lot with our hotel. From our room, I did a quick search to make sure there was something both me and Sweetie would eat. Yep - we were good! We walked the 25-30 steps to the restaurant in the 95+ degree heat. We were not at the high dinner hour so we were seated right away. And then our wait began. Somehow, we just have only bad luck when getting table service after being seated by the host/ess. True to form, we had to flag someone to begin ordering. After having a LOT of drinks with caffeine on the way down south, I opted for water only. Sweetie did the same so we moved straight on the ordering food. As my hubby always does at Mexican places, he got the chicken fajita platter. And as I always do just about everywhere, I got a chicken salad. I went with the Mixto and added chicken to it. Going for healthy. Our food came out pretty quickly. The fajita platter was generously filled with food. My salad had a nice mix of greens and fair amount of chicken on it. It was all nice and fresh and had good flavor. I began working through my order while Sweetie made his fajitas. He always finishes before me - so when there were still veggies let on the skillet, I asked if I could have them. He said yes and I knew he would not eat them - it was delicious yellow squash and zucchini - a nice addition to a fajita IMO. I piled them on my remaining greens and it was a really good mix. The bill came and we quickly cashed out. It was a fair prices for good food. It was to be a deal compared to the OK meal we would eat the next night down by Truist park. I highly recommend you eat here is Tex-Mex food is your jam!

When you go ask FOR LEX!!! she's been incredible the entire night!!!! Food 1000000000!!

Spent $200 on tacos and 3 margaritas for 4 people. The waiter charged me $8 for a beer that I didn't get then auto-gratuity on a table of 4??? I left my phone and within 5 minutes they had it turned off and in the back. Then proceded to ask me for "interest" on the tab for the phone back??? Don't come unless you want to get robbed 8 different ways. Unfortunately I use to really like this place - not anymore.

This place is a good choice for brunch with friends. Sometimes server takes a bit to get back to you with the mimosa if you are doing bottomless but to be fair it's usually packed. The shrimp and grits are good. Verdict: looking for a bit of a boozy brunch go

Food is pretty good, drinks are pretty good, but check if they have mystery fees before you go. One beer and one margarita was $22 dollars regularly but then became $33 because they had a fight on the TV and I had to pay a fight night fee. The waitress was very nice and helpful. I was told they will have cinco de mayo deals tomorrow but then I have to pay a cinco de mayo fee on my total. Great place to go if nothing is going on in the world and it's not a holiday... otherwise be cautious

We were so disappointed with the service at Red Pepper Taquería we didn't even get an ussie. We still cute though. The waitress was trash. We waited forever to be even acknowledged and asked for drink orders. Bae said he felt like she was catering more to the white folks. Food came quick. Rice was cold and hard like it had been sitting out all day or maybe was leftover. The shrimp taco fixed like a salmon taco (with the salmon taco fixings) was good. The calamari taco wasn't bad. I wouldn't get a crispy taco though. The fish taco wasn't the best. And the churros were trash. Was really tempted to just walk out cause the waitress was taking forever to bring us the check although I asked for it with my to go drink. We ended up getting up and going to the check in desk to pay the tab.

Rj was a great server and he was very friendly also Malcom he ran the food out very fast

Tracey was a fantastic server for my party of 12!! my group loved the music and it was such a great vibe

Food and service was amazing! RJ and Tracey took care of us! Definitely a place to go to at anytime ! 10/10

Tracey and RJ are the only reason I come! They're the best and the food is always on point. My favorite Taco Tuesday spot!!!

The reviews I have read are pretty spot on...it's loud, the food is bar food quality, and the bottomless mimosas are fantastic. The draw is the service. The bartender I had was absolutely fantastic. Friendly and super attentive -and her server partner kept coming around the bar from person to person filling glasses. My mimosa never got to below half a glass. It is loud though, and gets super crowded so you will wait to use the bathroom. Looks like they have great happy hike specials during the week as well.

I visit this restaurant for lunch and I am always made to feel at home. The food is plentiful and delicious, there are daily specials for food and drinks going on all day so it's not just a happy hour spot. Mika's smile, personality, and excellent service always brightens up my day and it is very apparent that the staff cares about providing genuine customer care. I will definitely be back. PS they don't skimp on the shrimp, a sign of a great restaurant!

Perfect for groups or even solo at the bar. Red pepper handles your car using valet service so you don't have to worry about parking in the area. The menu isn't as expansive as most Mexican spots but the food is filling and decently priced. Plenty TVs showing sports. Indoor space and outdoor patio. Only reason for the 4 stars was that tables weren't cleaned up prior to sitting and the drinks I had were just decent.

My friend & I had a great experience at Red Pepper Taqueria. Our waitress was very pleasant & the food was very good. It was nice to go somewhere more simple & not overly fancy, nor expensive like most places in the area.

Craving tacos? I tried Red Pepper Taqueria in Buckhead. Red Pepper is one place where the party keeps going. I love going here on a Taco Tuesday. This is the perfect spot for hanging out with friends or letting your hair down after work over specialty margaritas and handcrafted tacos. What I tried at Red Pepper Taqueria. Fried Lobster Tail that came with a honey dip. Fajita skillet that was loaded with veggies, rice, black beans, guacamole, warm tortillas, and protein of your choice. For protein, you can choose from chicken, shrimp, steak, and barbacoa. I choose shrimp. Taco Stand with handcrafted tacos served on warm flour tortillas. Taco Gringo taco full of ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and panela cheese. Carne Asada had grilled steak, pickled onions, cilantro, and guajillo salsa. Grilled Chicken dripping with tomatoes, cilantro, and salsa verde Queso Dip with chorizo and mushrooms. I added jalapenos because yum! RP Margarita with 100% blue agave tequila and RP® margarita lime juice

Samantha was amazing!! I love red pepper because of the servers here--- she is definitely one of the best. Such great vibes

Samantha is the best server ever! she is actually the best human to ever grace planet earth!

Highly recommend. Good food and drinks, (my favorite here is the sangria) laid back atmosphere with lots of outdoor seating. The service is usually cool but, today I received exceptional service from RJ the pleasant young man that waited on us. He was above and beyond with prompt service, great recommendations, patience and a superb attitude. I'll specifically ask to sit in his area when I return.

We came here because we were craving queso and chips plus my sister saw this place on social media and really wanted to go. The only issue is we weren't too hungry, so we didn't order actual meals. I got the queso and chips, obviously because that's why I was there. It satisfied my craving. They give you a lot of queso and a lot of chips. If lowkey felt like a meal lol. They have cut up peppers on the side, so you can put them in the queso....do that! We also got the creme brûlée, I know sounds weird to do that at a restaurant like this, but it was the best one I've had (I've only had it once before this). Come here for some good bites and a chill environment!

Some of the worst service I've ever received, and was overcharged for substandard drinks ($12 for Altos) and overcooked roasted oysters. I left without finishing neither my food nor drink. It's too bad because I remember this being a good place a few years ago. I guess I should've known something was off when they were empty for Friday happy hour. Save your time and money.

Can someone say the best Margaritas in town!!! I love this restaurant. Plus they have a dog friendly patio to make me love it even more. Valet is offered for only $2 so you dont have to worry about searching for parking. We dined here on a Friday night with the pooch. The restuarant was crowded and lively as usual but we were seated immediately on the patio, so no wait. There were a few other dogs on the patio which is always nice to see when you come with one. The service was friendly. Unlike most Mexican restaurants Red Pepper Taqueria does not offer free chips and salsa, it's offered as an appetizer for $6 so we ordered that. I ordered a Mango margarita and it was it was so yummy. My BF had a Moscow mule which was nice and strong. For our entrees my BF had a chicken Quesadilla which he loved. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which came with a large amount of shrimp and veggies that you dont usually see with fajitas, like squash and zucchini added with the normal onions and peppers. It came with rice and peas, both tasty. My meal was made well but I would rather regular fajitas veggies next time. We had a great time. Several people came pass to pet the pooch and tell us how adorable he is, which he loves to hear. Definitely will be back, great place to watch the game as well.

The food was ok and I enjoy going there for margaritas (top shelf of course) but this place cannot keep any staff at all. The never have the same servers there because management is rude, stuck up, and careless. I spoke with TAJ the GM and he just seems like he has no clue what he is doing at all. I was disappointed by the overall experience. Parking was great and accommodating for customers but that's about it.

$2 valet parking. Please tip them they working hard Seating areas both inside and outside. They have specials and TVs through the place The drink was strong and the queso was good. The chip were alittle stale but we just worked out why around that. Our server was cool I think his name was Marco The vibe is chill and can easily turn into a wild night if you let it!
