Rreal Tacos - Buckhead

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re going to RREAL Tacos (and you absolutely should), do yourself a favor and ask for Carlos. From the moment my daughter and I sat down, Carlos made us feel like VIPs. He was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendation? The Mezcal Paloma—easily one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Smoky, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious—but Carlos truly made the experience unforgettable. He checked on us with just the right timing, made great suggestions, and treated us like royalty. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure guests have a great time. Great tacos. Great drinks. And Carlos? Even better. Ask for him. Thank me later.

I was on the hunt for a new spot with really good food, and stumbled into Rreal Tacos—and let me just say, I was in for a treat. I started with a margarita that honestly surprised me—it was really, really good. I also tried the fried avocados and the fish taco. The taco was good (I’ve definitely had better fried avocados), but they were decent. And let’s just say the bartender added a little extra flavor to the experience—definitely easy on the eyes! All in all, I'd recommend Rreal Tacos for the vibes and the drinks. It's worth a visit, especially if you're looking to try something new in a fun, casual setting.

The food is amazing, cooked to order but still comes out quick. We had the Queso and chips, elote, nachos, and quesabirria. The chips are so fresh and still warm when they came out. The corn for the elote was so juicy it fell off the cob. And the Birria is to die for. It’s our first time in town and this was by far the best decision we made so far on this vacation! Definitely coming back again before we leave!! (Also, if you park in the garage, they validate your parking for you and it’s free!)

We LOVE Rreal. It’s our neighborhood go-to. I love how they’re always decorated for every holiday. The guac, queso, salsa trio is a must and their margaritas always HIT. My only complaint…don’t plan on having a conversation if you’re sitting inside later in the day. The music is CONSTANTLY so loud you can even converse.

Me and the family are here visiting from Texas and some locals were raving about this place and because we are use to some good amount of outstanding street and restaurant tacos in Houston we decided to come here to possibly hate on it. and because it was a block away from where we were staying. Well !!!! tacos were amazing. You can’t rate them as street tacos. But are not the “ Metal plate , Taco Bell looking aaah tacos “ Get the platter!!!!

Amazing food and experience. Every thing we ordered had its own unique flavor profile. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out for a near Mexico experience.

Carlos was absolutely great. He provided great service and always seemed to check ilof we needed anything at the perfect times. The food was great and the service was even better. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone if you haven't been here.

My daughter and I are up here on a little trip in Atlanta from St. Louis and we stumbled up on this cute little taco spot and let me just say this is some of the absolute best Mexican food I’ve ever had even considering the food I’ve had in Texas. This food was just amazing Alexa, the beautiful Alexa was so nice and sweet. I give this place a 10 out of 10 great service and food for sure. Can’t wait to come back

La comida deliciosa y la atención que me brindo Lía fue excelete! súper amable y atenta en todo momento. muy recomeneado!

Food was great, service by Maria was great. My only complaint is that the establishment refused to turn the heaters off in the outside seating area even though it was almost 70 degrees outside. There was absolutely no reason for the heaters to be on full throttle at that time of day.

Maria did an amazing job. Rreal tacos is my go to spot and will always recommend to everyone

Love this Rreal Tacos location. I find it to be the most consistent out of the several I have visited. They also validate parking. You ask the person in the front to validate your parking ticket when you arrive. This location can be a bit tight for seating so it is best to put in a reservation or snag bar seating. I went this past weekend to check out their halloween themed drinks. I had the witches brew and tried the zombie punch. Both drinks tasted great! We decided to purchase a Texas Margarita pitcher. Love getting drinks here because you can actually taste the tequila and the drinks have flavor without being super sweet! For food, we started off with the guacamole and chips. They have some of the freshest Guac here. Then I ordered 3 al pastor tacos and one Picanha taco. The al pastor tacos are literally my favorite tacos in Georgia. I sometimes ask for extra pineapple on the tacos but this time around they came out perfect. They also add cilantro and onion. So flavorful and addicting! The picanha taco was okay. The steak can be a little thick and hard to bite. I wish they cut it up more but still very good and comes with chimichurri sauce and red onion. Also like how they lean into holiday themes. The servers are already in their halloween costumes. They do it well and not in a cheesy way. Love this place and will repeat!

We all had something different but the general consensus is that the food is really fresh and good. Drinks too, clever fruitty, twists on the favorites. The outside was more crowded than the inside and considering the number of clients, the wait staff was busy but remained quick and efficient. It is dimly lit so not distracting, but nothing of note in terms of decor. Rreal Taco has parking lots. More than one connects to their side. You may have to walk a while to get your bearings though because not all of the parking lots have signage. But the host validates, so go & enjoy.

I went to the Halloween bar at rreal tacos for the first time! I've been to this spot before at the Chamblee location but I wanted to try out the Halloween cocktails. The decorations were my favorite part. Everything was so colorful and I loved the spooky Dj. I will say there was a long wait. We were told it would be about an hour. We expected this since even on a regular weekend the hour is 1-2 hours for Friday and Saturday night. Make sure you keep an eye on the text or calls you may receive from the restaurant once your wait is over. The location has paid parking, we paid around $12. The food was delicious! I love the birria and consume from this spot. My birria had a bit more fatty/squishy bits than usual so that was unfortunate. Everything else was excellent. Everyone else loved their food and drinks as well! Our server was amazing but the host at the front was a bit upset/stressed.

Why would a Mexican restaurant with signage regarding National Margarita Day have no specials regarding the holiday? Just seems like a lapse in marketing. The food was a bit underwhelming but the drinks were strong. It's a youngish crowd and a busy place. That's all I can say really.

I come to this establishment quite often and the food is always great. I love that they do pops for certain holidays. Since this place is close to my job, I frequent here often for taco Tuesdays. my go to meals are always the tempura taco and the shrimp tostada. The staff is always nice and welcoming, and they validate parking which is a plus. The tacos are around 5 to 6 dollars but it is well worth the cost. Check them out if you haven't been yet.

Fun place, went during Christmas and the decorations were a real nice touch. It was pretty packed, we sat inside and seating was kinda cramped . The outside area looked a little more roomier. We all ordered different flavored margaritas and they were all good. The nachos were a big portion and also good so was the asada taco. My friends order tacos as well and everyone really enjoyed their food.

Food was good. Enjoyed the chips and salsa dip. Strong drinks, definitely not stingy with the alcohol. I had the passion fruit margarita. Gratuity was auto-added but not sure if it's due to our 6-party table. Waiter was attentive and provided a free slice of cake for my daughter as it is her birthday.

Love this Rreal Tacos! I love the outdoor and indoor seating option. The decor for Halloween was a great touch! I tried their Halloween taco and it was really really good. The Halloween drinks were as well. We also had their birria pizza svd it was one of the best I've had. We will definitely be back. Our service was great and our waitress offered suggestions and provided service.

What a fun spot!!! Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and I've never seen a restaurant have a hand written birthday card. So sweet and a great touch. Loved all the Halloween decor and the food and drinks were yummy (also Halloween themed). They were playing great music and the staff was so kind.

I came here during Halloween and the ambiance was to kill for I was meeting up with my sorority sisters and we had drinks, tacos and everything was good. Good service too even though it was packed. Big up to our waitress!

I came here for the first time and it was great! They saw it was my birthday on my ID when I was getting drinks and so they brought out a cake at the end to celebrate and it was so sweet! I do think at this location the tacos are thinner than the ones in Sandy Springs and Midtown. I don't think they use the same tortillas that the other locations I have been to use. But it was still really good! The drinks were really good fresh as well. We started with the watermelon margarita... perfect! Love the fresh watermelon on top. Then we ordered a mango margarita, which of course never misses. The service at the bar was great and we love how you could see the cooks in the back cooking everyone's food. The inside was clean and gave me beach vibes on the outside! It was amazing, definitely would go back. I totally forgot to take pics of the tacos :(

Lively vibe and loud music - is this a club or a restaurant? Maybe a little bit of both with hipster undertones and tequila infused specialty drinks. Reminded me of a watered down version of trendy Los Feliz or Portland crafted tacos. I deviated off script and went for the Torta - after I confirmed (in Spanish) that real telera bread was used. I got a carne asada torta fully loaded - the protein with refried beans, Corina cheese, avocado cream and lettuce all worked harmoniously. Only thing I would have changed was to add a bit more carne asada. I would potentially return and sit outside - where the volume of music may be more muted.... LOL

This is my second time visiting and must say it was just as wonderful as the first time I came back in june. The staff is amazing and the food is sooooo good. The grilled shrimp and grilled fish tacos were really tasty which I had during my previous visit. On my most recent visit I had a burrito which they do place on the grill so it's nice and warm and comes with beans, rice, peppers, onions, cheese and your pick of a protein (I got chicken). A simple dish but it was good and I really like their rice. The space is a bit compact inside (the old farm burger location) but the patio area is nice and shaded which makes a perfect spot to enjoy some good food and drinks. I also got a frozen passion fruit margarita and loved it. There's a parking deck with plenty of parking so be sure to get your ticket validated before you head out. Good food, good times, decent prices.

This is the first time that I had an "ok" experience at Rreal. All the other locations I have been to I have SANG their Praises from the Mountain Tops. However, this experience unfortunately was not one of those. Getting to the location was super easy as it is right on the main road. The parking is also a plus as there is a parking deck attached to the restaurant and they validate. As I walked in, the young lady at the hostess stand was super pleasant and very inviting. As I was a party os 2 she was able to seat us immediately. Once seated our waiter arrived within moments and was very nice. The ambiance as a whole is very casual and laid back which was fitting as we just wanted to grab a bite to eat. Being that I am a lover of the Rreal brand, I knew what I wanted to we placed our order and and waited for the appetizer to arrive. I ordered the Chips and Salsa for an App and the Quesabirria for my meal. The food arrived in good timing which shows that the kitchen has a good process flow. However, for the FIRST TIME EVER of me eating at Rreal, I wasn't fully satisfied with my Queabirria. To be fair, I wasn't unhappy, however, I was slightly dejected by the toughness of the beef. I have become accustomed to the beef being very tender to the point that it almost melts in your mouth. Yet, this time, my meat was a little tough. I had to do a few extra chews per bite which made the food experience moderate. Furthermore, I didn't see my waiter again from the time our food came until he happened to be walking past us and I asked for the check. Oh how quickly an experience can go from promoter to detrator as Food and Service are the primary components of the dining experience. Nonetheless, the food was okay. I would go again, however, this location wouldn't be my first option unless i'm already in the area.

This place is slowly becoming a favorite! I have been to Rreal Tacos a couple of times and I'm always satisfied with my food. Although this is another taco spot something about, it is a little bit different the way they season their vegetables is different from other taco places in this surrounding area. The ambience in this place is very simple, but very effective is never extremely loud however it's not a very intimate spot somewhere very casual. You can go just kind of hang out with your friends and enjoy quesadillas and tacos and a few margaritas if you choose to do so. Service is always quick and they're always friendly. They play a very good role of hospitality and quick-service. As always, I will be returning back I do love their quesadillas.

Very busy and popular spot. Full Halloween theme. Dark inside but goes with the look and feel. We were seated right away as we sat outdoors. It was a bit chilly but bearable. Waiter was super nice and friendly. Food came out quick. The esquite was amazing. Nachos were good. Queso Birria tacos were yummy. Chips were fresh and crunchy. Guac and salsa complemented well. Overall good time and good food. Our son loved the elote.

Got the taco platter. Tacos were really good! Loaded with meat. Also got chips & guacamole, and esquite. Food was great! But felt overwhelmed with the male waiter coming by to our table about ten times during our meal.

A solid Mexican spot with great outdoor seating! They have a ton of margaritas to choose from and a 10 shot "titanic" for those looking to really get rowdy. The salsas all have great flavor and the queso was solid. Nabbed the shrimp and fish tacos they were great. The pork belly taco was meh in comparison as it was pretty dry. Overall, I'd say this is a great place to check out if your staying in the area

Came here on a busy Thursday night but only had to wait 30 min for a table. We went next door for a drink and then our table was ready! We loved the watermelon margarita and the peach margarita! Love that you can add a tajin rim or salt. The menu is clearly marked what is gluten free. The birria tacos, shrimp tacos, chips and queso with chorizo were all amazing!! Our server was great and the prices weren't bad! The restaurant was really cute and decorated for Halloween. We had a great time!

I went on Halloween for a quick meal and drinks. I had the birria tacos and a special holiday drink. Everything was tasty and fresh. The atmosphere was lively and the service was good. It was a great time. I will definitely return.

Dropped in the other night to catch the Christmas vibe and that's exactly what I got. The over the top Christmas theme is great. As always the food was right on point and the service matched. I had another great experience at Rreal Tacos Buckhead. We had the grilled chicken tacos and empanadas with a couple of premium margaritas. It was great!

Coming from Cali, I have high standards for Mexican food. This place didn't disappoint although it was Americanized Mexican food. We ordered the chicken torta, tacos al pastor, kids quesadilla and a side of black beans. The beans were a bit on the sour side for my taste. They provide you with bottles of green, red and habanero salsa of varying spice levels. I can't wait to come back to try their margaritas and the tres leches cake.

Exceeded my expectations. Muchas gracias Luis por toda tu ayuda. I took my Hubby to Rreal Tacos for his birthday on 07/03/24 and everything was delicious. We started with aguas frescas one mango and one pineapple. Very tasty not watered down. We also ordered chips and salsa very yummy. The star of the show was definitely the taco feast. Omg the portions are enormous and delicious. You get to pick four different types of protein. We chose carne asada, al pastor, chicken and carnitas. To my surprise there were also cueritos included with the carnitas. Delicious you can't go wrong with any of the various meats offered. What brought a smile to my face was the art. El chavo del ocho, Selena, and the protein menu in pesos all made me miss my beloved Mexico even more. I asked Luis if they may please sing Feliz Cumpleaños to my Husband to start off his birthday celebration with a surprise. I'll tell you this much Luis took care of us and also la Señora that also celebrated with us. The music was awesome and they lowered the lights as soon as it hit a certain time. We got there for dinner around 6 p.m. and what caught my attention was of course the food reviews. Being from CA I can say I wasn't disappointed with the service, food, and drinks. Las salsas were also very flavorful. The taco feast did include guacamole, tortillas, pico de gallo, limes, and cilantro were all included. I believe it does come with 12 tortillas your choice of flour or corn. We chose corn of course and packed half to go. Luis was kind enough to provide us more tortillas to go. The cake slice was delicious tres leches. I'd go back to Atlanta to go to a Braves game and head back to Rreal Tacos. The staff is very helpful and we were talking with another employee about Mexico, also a plus with me. Gracias de Nuevo!!

Came here on a whim after an event looking for food and drinks. We found this place heading to another place honestly. We were hungry and parking was convenient so we bust a u-turn and came here instead. It was not the worst decision I've made lol. We were able to get seated immediately and chose al fresco aka outside seating. There's a little issue when the sun starts to set it hits you hard but if you can tolerate it or are seated out of its range you're golden. Our server Jana was a Rockstar and had full control of her section. She's a pretty girl, with a down to earth attitude and she knows her menu which is all tracks to me. The food was good and there was a bevy of sauces given to us upon seating, the salsa verde was very spicy though and that's usually not the case. Considering it's a Buckhead location I'd say the prices were reasonable. There's also other places in the area to shop and eat. Definitely give them a try and ask for Jana's section, she's a gem that they're lucky to have working there. P.S. I adored the Halloween decor everywhere and the unisex bathroom I used was very clean.

Plenty of paid parking.. but they validate. The food and drinks were good and Jana was an awesome server

Enjoying the halloween decor and ambiance at this restaurant. The halloween flair to the menu is a nice touch, especially with the drinks. Service is consistently good, have no complaints. I'll be coming to this Rreal Tacos location way more often

Covid is over, get rid of the bar code menu! This place is happening. Good food, great drinks, Mezcal Margarita is my go to. I've had Nachos con Barbacoa, fantástico! Tacos de birria esta rico!

Fun environment. I feel like I'm on some tropical island enjoying my barrio tacos and my spicy mango margarita. If you have not been here (any location to is good) to this new Buckhead location it's a must. Nice shaded outdoor seating. Lively music. Food came out fresh and piping hot! Service was as great and fast!

Loved it! My husband and I went for Halloween night and it was all decorated. The service was great and food and drinks were delicious. I'm in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating!

The place was decorated like crazy for Halloween! We sat on the patio and the best waitress! She was very informative and friendly! The zombie punch and witches brew were good but the la Catrina was a little eh. The crispy avocado wasn't really crispy and kinda mushy :/ The Halloween taco was just a regular birria taco that had a black taco shell but it was still yummy! The fish tacos were the best though!

10/10 Experience, will be back! Food: Everything was delicious. We got the trio appetizers and all the dips were so fresh. Creamy white queso, fresh made guac, and salsa. For my main course I ordered the picanha taco and the carnitas. Both were equally delicious. The picanha was out of this world. My bf got it in his burrito too. Drinks: the margaritas are some of the best I've had in Atlanta. The watermelon one was so fun and fresh. The "Real" margarita was also delicious and strong! 2 Maragaritas had me feeling great walking out. Service: The service was on point, even with every table packed. Our waitress, Taly, got everything correct and was very attentive. We were impressed with the service given how busy they were. Ambiance: Such a FUN, lively place. Lots of birthdays and big groups. Fun music in the background. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing dinner, this is not the spot. If you're looking for a fun, upbeat spot with delicious food and drinks, this is it!

The food is on point every single time I come here. Whether it's take out or dine in. David was our server and he got my drink right!

A vibe was had on Cinco. The waiter was attentive and service ran so smoothly! Love the new location seated right beside twin peaks. So garage parking and you walk up to the restaurant. The best taco hands down is the pork belly taco. LORD HAVE MERCY! i hate that i got full! The other tacos are great too but there is definitely pork on this fork so i had to!

Our first time there but we truly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance!!! We would definitely go back!!

We had a great time at Rreal tacos. The food was absolutely delicious. And the drinks were so good as well. We loved the Christmas decorations and the service we received. 10/10 we will definitely be back!!

Omg! I've found my new favorite spot with my new favorite waitress! I've been to RREAL TACOS in Chamblee & midtown. Buckhead is my favorite by far! Our waitress Lia is amazing we have had her twice already. I'm coming because of her! Great service, great energy and she knows the menu! Gracias chica!

This was my first time at any Rreal Tacos restaurants and I came to the Buckhead location. It was just okay. Aside from the super sweet and friendly hostess, Christina and Rojo, the service was sub-par. Usually when I sit at the bar, it's a great experience and I always want to come back. But at this location, the bartender seemed uninterested in his customers and wasn't really friendly, just going through the motions. My paper trash and dirty bowl sat in front of me for 30 minutes before I had to ask for it to be removed - not cool, especially since it wasn't a busy time of day. Just a quick glance and you'll know I was finished eating, but again, he didn't seem interested in being helpful or cared that his customers were even there. I ordered a 20oz margarita and wasn't asked what rim I wanted... I simply got nothing. The sauces are delicious! The "Hot" was my favorite and I highly recommend it. Food was good overall and I got to take the cute little duck home! Based on previous reviews, I'll try the other locations but I doubt I'll come back to this one in Buckhead - disappointed .

The best tacos in town ! Will definitely come back . We ordered online and food was ready at expected time with no issues

Awesome food good service Simply amazing salsa Rona was bom Ambiance was good love the music

Had the Esquites to start and it was awesome, great flavors! All 4 tacos weee fantastic too. Favorite was the Birria and pork Belly

My co-worker and I visited Rreal Tacos and wow! "Espectacular!!" I had the Costra Taco, my coworker had other tacos, and we split the Molletes. Molletes were excellent!! They were great to split (lots of food) and would also be a great appetizer. Restaurant was clean and service with Miguel was very friendly! We'll be back next time we visit Buckhead!

A true Vibe!! Beautiful weather, great food and our pitcher of Margarita was beautiful and great. Great service too

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally had a chance to. I liked the decor in the place. The colors were vibrant and the artwork was fitting. There was also an outside patio area that was kind of discreet but it carried a nice vibe. My quesadilla was yummy! The shrimp was well seasoned, and the veggies added the right amount of flavor. My partner got a burrito with shrimp and he said it was pretty decent. The customer service was great! I can't remember our waiters name but he was friendly, he had great knowledge of the menu, and he moved quick. We got all of our food fast. The other servers were friendly towards my baby so that was nice. The only downfall is that we both just wish they had bigger portion sizes. I feel like I usually get a ton of food for the same price when I go to other Mexican restaurants. All in all this is a cool spot to grab a bite to eat and have some drinks at. I would definitely come back again!

We originally discovered this brand on Food Network. Since then, this brand has expended to seven locations in Atlanta, and the vibe in the new Buckhead location is awesome. Great drinks, great food, at an honestly good value for the quality. Great lookin staff too, NGL. Come give this spot a try! You won't be disappointed.

Our (DELTA) flight got cancelled so we had an unplanned trip in Atlanta. After sleeping in the airport, we were luckily able to book our hotel next to this gem! This place was so good, we went here two days in a row. Great food and drinks. I got the passion fruit margarita and let me tell you, this is probably the best margarita I've ever had. Even my boyfriend agreed. He hates sweet drinks but even he agreed that these might be the best! He had the premium margarita and the spicy pineapple, both were amazing. Service was amazing, food was amazing, and we tried a lot. I love the ambiance not super dark but just the right amount of lighting. Definitely recommend this place!

Food looked good. They pay for parking and seated us outside under heated lamps. They forgot to give us plates and straws but they came out shortly
