Rreal Tacos - Lawrenceville

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great spot for tacos and drinks! I came here for tacos and was not disappointed! the food was delicious and fresh. But what really stood out were the drinks. They were strong, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I've had in a while! The vibe is super chill, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Our waiter was so attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for great tacos, amazing drinks, and top-notch service!

Rreal Taco is the spot! The tacos were on point, and the birria was the star — loaded, juicy, and packed with flavor. The drinks definitely slap and make the whole experience even better. The place has a great energy, perfect for hanging out and enjoying amazing food. 100% recommend if you’re looking for tacos done right with a fun vibe.

We found this spot searching for somewhere to go locally. We sat outside at the bar. This spot is family friendly. Food and drinks were so good. The fish tacos were our favorite! My only complaint is they close too early and the music isn’t loud enough to hear. Other than that 10 out of 10. The bartender was on point!

Stopped by on a Saturday night. They were really busy but we found seats at the bar. Drinks were great and service was fast. My burrito bowl was tasty and fresh. My husband enjoyed his tacos. Although they were busy, we didn’t wait long to be served or to get our food. Super impressed and can’t wait to return.

We had such a great experience at Rreal Tacos in Lawrenceville! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our family outing. Our server was amazing — she was super friendly, attentive, and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. She really made the experience even better. The staff also went above and beyond by surprising my niece with a little Tres Leches cake for her first birthday, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. It really made the night special for our family. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon — highly recommend this place!

So I tried this place last night & the food was amazing - dining in. Service was exceptional & the atmosphere was very serene. Everything was great until today. I made a pick up order for 2 burritos for lunch for my bf & I before leaving & one of the burritos had a long black hair in it!!! I HIGHLY recommend the kitchen staff wear hair nets to prevent this. Luckily it didn’t mess up the dine in experience, but my bf almost gagged his food. Imagine eating a good burrito to then having to pull a long hair out just as your finishing it. Just super gross. I wanted to love this location but not sure I’ll be back.

“Today was my first time visiting Real Tacos and also my very first time trying authentic Mexican food — and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! I ordered tacos along with rice and black beans, and everything tasted so flavorful and fresh. The tacos had just the right seasoning, the rice and beans were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. For drinks, I tried both the watermelon margarita and a Paloma. The margarita was light, refreshing, and fruity, while the Paloma had that perfect citrusy kick — both were excellent choices to go with the food. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and the staff was welcoming, which made me feel at ease even though it was my first time trying Mexican food. I walked out really happy and satisfied, and I can’t wait to come back to explore more of their menu. If you’re new to Mexican cuisine like me, Real Tacos is the perfect place to start — tasty food, great drinks, and a wonderful overall experience!”

Searched for a place to eat tacos and margaritas and Rreal Tacos was the closest one. First time here and it won’t be the last!! Service, food, drinks, atmosphere… everything was spectacular!! Best tacos I’ve had at any restaurant by far. Truly impressed and will be back soon, even though it’s 45 min away.

Mark the bartender was great! super hospitable! would come back to see him! He was very nice and very attentive!

This is a good time! Good food! Great service! Fantastic drinks! Beautiful establishment!

I finally got the opportunity to check this place out. This restaurant is always crowded but we came here on a weekday for lunch and had no problem getting seated. To start out the food was exceptionally delicious, portion sizes were large and our waiter was awesome!!! I can see myself coming back here for date night, family night, office meeting or try out that flight of margaritas. Overall this place exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend trying this restaurant out.

Piero was so friendly and attentive! We came in tonight for our second experience at Rrreal Taco, and it's become one of our favorite night outs in Lawrenceville. Highly recommend the appetizer trio for the table - delicious chunky guacamole, queso, and smoky salsa. The chips are nice and sturdy, as I like them. The tacos slap, the drinks are wonderful, the price is right, and service is wonderful. Highly recommend! If you have a group, try the birria pizza. You won't regret it!

From Frustration to Fiesta: How Rreal Tacos Turned It All Around A few weeks ago, my experience at Rreal Tacos left me genuinely disappointed -- a rare thing for me to even put into writing. But what happened wasn't just about a busy restaurant; it felt like we were flat-out forgotten. I left that night frustrated, ignored, and wondering how a spot with such a good reputation could have let something like that happen. But here's where the story takes a turn. Shortly after my review, I was contacted by Wilson -- who heard about what happened and immediately stepped in. What stood out most? He didn't try to defend or excuse anything. He simply listened. Within five minutes of our conversation, he had another reservation set up for me to give Rreal another shot -- no drama, no ego, just someone who genuinely cared about making it right. And let me tell you -- they went crazy in the best way possible. From the moment we walked in, the energy was different. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and within minutes we had our drinks and appetizers. The vibe inside was electric -- shots flying across tables, people laughing at the bar, playoff basketball lighting up the screens (OKC vs Pacers, for the real fans), and groups just soaking up the night. It finally felt like the neighborhood spot I'd always hoped it could be. Now let's talk food -- the Taco Platter was the MVP. * Carne Asada - 4/5: tender, flavorful, and a solid go-to. * Al Pastor - 5/5: absolutely delicious. Rivaling the big names like Don Pedro and some of ATL's hardest-hitting taquerias. * Pork Belly - 3/5: not my personal favorite, but my friend said it tasted like "warm bacon," so there's that * Tempura Fish - 2/5: a bit of a reach for us, but worth trying if you're feeling adventurous. Not my thing, but I can see the appeal. And just when I thought we were wrapping up, Freddy (Freddie? Fredi? Freddíéy? -- hope I got it right!) came through with an off-menu treat: Dragon Fruit Margaritas that are apparently in the works. Let's just say -- when they drop, they're going to be a hit. Refreshing, bold, and exactly the kind of drink that sneaks up on you in the best way. To top it all off, they snapped a picture of us like they do for birthdays -- and I even walked away with what they jokingly called my Mexican visa . It was a full-circle moment, and a reminder that hospitality isn't about being perfect -- it's about how you show up when things don't go right. Huge thanks to Wilson and Freddy for turning what could've been a permanent "never again" into a new favorite local go-to. Rreal Tacos -- I see y'all. And I'll definitely be back.

Great ambiance. Great service, server was on top of everything and handled us getting the wrong burrito without an issue. We had the chicken burrito and the quesabirria, chips and salsa and refried beans. Everything tasted amazing. We got the quesabirria to share and it was so good and the meat so tender I wanted it all to myself. Great place to bring the kids. It's a little loud so you really can't disturb someone else meal. Can't wait to go back. My picture was a little late as I had devoured some of my food.

This location has only been open a few days and the level of service, food quality, kitchen timing and attention to detail is impressive. We arrived around 6pm on a Tuesday and there was already a line of folks waiting. We were immediately greeted by the host who started to take our name, but after spotting two open bar seats we beelined to grab those babies. We did it all, the margarita tasting flight, trio of dips with chips, a variety of tacos and have to say everything was stellar. We're still talking about the small details like food presentation, drink garnishes, overall service and vibes. WTG!!!!

The ambiance and vibes are top tear this is definitely the place to go in the spring and summer. I felt like I was on vacation haha . The drinks are amazing I highly recommend the passion fruit margarita frozen. We ordered the chicken tacos which were perfect and tried both the fish tacos and a picanto steak taco the battered fish taco is definitely 10/10 will order again. Seeing as this location just opened up it's obvious there are a few kinks that need to be worked out. Though our sever tried their best to be attentive they really dropped a few balls imo . First we ordered queso that we never received nor was it even put in . And the second was we also placed an order to go that they clearly forgot to put in as well because when we mentioned that's what we were waiting for they rushed to see the hold up and we looked at the QR code paperless check and it wasn't on there and a minute later it popped up. So we sat for over 20 minutes for the Togo to arrive . Though we observed them really trying to give the best service with friendlyness it seemed like if you didn't order everything in that first initial go around they forgot the moment they walked away. Please note there is a service charge for the convince of paperless receipts while it's less than two dollars it's pretty wild imo to charge for a convenience the restaurants enforced. But either way definitely a great place to bring out of town guest . The updates to the previous restaurant is beautiful this is definitely a great addition to Lawrenceville.

The food was good. The server was very attentive. It parking was spotty since the restaurant is located on a busy street next to an apartment and park.

Food was great!!! Waiter was attentive and friendly, however..... No horchata when we tried to order it even tho on the menu. No tea at all but in GA and no SWEET tea???? Seriously??? $7 for a beverage! Drinks are overpriced! Vibe is great but can you move to a beach instead of L'ville, as is on the building??? lol Yea, we prob won't be back. Giving 4* just because of the beverages and prices. If you want a place to party with good food and drinks and you're close to Lawrenceville then this is probably a great spot

This is a beautiful restaurant. I love the decor, and service was top notch. I also enjoyed my drink, the vinorita. However, food fell short for me. I had the steak taco and the barbacoa taco. The flavors were pretty bland. I asked for a side of queso to add to both. If I return, I'd try another dish.

Great food. Had the taco that has the cheese fried onto the tortilla. Great atmosphere and service was good. Only issue is they lowered the plastic curtains outside and it made it real warm.

We went to Rreal Tacos in Lawrenceville in a Friday evening. It's still fairly new to the DTL area. They don't take reservations on the weekends after like 3p, which was kind of a bummer, but the guy who answered the phone said if you are there by 5, there is not usually a wait, so we were there at 5, and he was correct. We were seated right away! To ere were four in our party and we ordered drinks. I got a Texas Margarita, two people ordered Corona Lights (which we were happy they had!) and one ordered a mojito. The first three drinks were out promptly, but the mojito took awhile. Granted, mojitos can be a pain to make sometimes. It was no biggie. We ordered the trio appetizer which was great. Just the right size for us to split. Then three of us ordered various tacos and one person ordered a quesadilla. The tacos came out quickly and were delicious!! For some reason the quesadilla took forever! Of course it was the person who ordered the mojito, so he was starting to take it personal. (Just kidding!). When he did get it, he realized he needed sour cream so he asked for that, which also took a long time. When he got it, it was super warm. So I'm thinking there might still be a learning curve going on with the food runners. Our server, Marissa, was awesome! (On the receipt it said her name was Joanna, but she explained they have to use their legal name in the system, but she goes by Marissa). She was exceptionally friendly and had a great sense of humor! We will definitely ask for her section when we return! Everyone enjoyed their food...for me, the Tempura Fish taco was the winner! But a close second was the Costra Taco. I ate everything on my plate! And we finished by trying both desserts they offer...the Tres Leches Cake and Platano Mucho, which is basically fried plantains. Both were good...I probably wouldn't order the plantains again but the cake was amazing! Oh...and the margarita was awesome...they don't skimp on the tequila!

Great vibes, cute patio and also indoor seating available. Didn't like that the chips with salsa, cheese, and guacamole was almost $20. Tacos were good, I liked my Al pastor taco. Would love to come back for the margaritas. Happy that there is a restaurant like this in downtown Lawrenceville

The indoor decor is absolutely drop dead gorgeous, the food was absolutely delicious the quesabirria was a game changer! And don't get me started on the waiter she was amazing and kind! I would 100% come back! Viva La Mexico!! Ame Guns 11 years old

The whole experience was great! Our server Z was fantastic and very sweet. Food was top notch and the drinks were just right! A great spot for a date night. The patio was perfect with the breeze that was present tonight.

Been here a few times now and I must say this place is consistently excellent. I especially love the Birria selections (tacos, quesadilla). The guacamole is unmatched as well. I also appreciate that they include sauces with each order without you having to request it. I have only eaten to-go here but they haven't missed a beat. Highly recommend .

Dined for the first time. BEWARE!!! This place charges 20% tip on everyone plus their 'handheld computer automatically brings up extra tip and if you aren't paying attention (like most people don't after they see that the tip is already added) they get an add'l tip added! My elderly Mom was duped and so was I. No matter what the food or the service this place is NOT ethical. I'll tell everyone I know!!

I would recommend this restaurant even though my food came after my entire party was done eating, it was their 3rd day open and the manager was very apologetic. The food was also amazing!

Terrible service. Gave us waters and then disappeared for 15 minutes. Had to get up 5 times to ask the hostess stand for things like silverware and to find our server. No air. Friends had to leave early because they were so hot. Food was cold. Took 20 minutes to bring us chips. Sent an email on 7/3 and have had no response. Go to the one in Sugar Hill if you want to eat at this restaurant.

Compared to all of the other Rreal tacos locations I'd say this one is my favorite. It's definitely more spacious. The servers are also very attentive.

We walked in on Saturday afternoon and was told there was a 30-40min wait, we gave our number to join the waitlist and was told we'd receive a text once our table was ready. After 45mins we checked back in and were told they "didn't have us in the system" and we'd have to wait another 30-40mins. Absolutely ridiculous!
