"Rreal Tacos reports that since July 2022, they’ve opened “one location almost every 120 days.” They have seven locations in Atlanta with two more announced." - Su-Jit Lin
"The dining area at this Midtown taco spot is dark and stuffed with so many tables it’s hard to navigate through the maze of people, especially after a few drinks. A huge margarita menu (passionfruit is our go-to) and the massive wall of liquor behind the bar send all the signals that tacos aren’t the priority here. But the tacos are actually good—even if you’re sober. Go for the superior specialty tacos like a crispy avocado for vegetarians or the picanha steak topped with pickled red onions and a fresh chimichurri sauce. It's a noisy drinking scene that’s almost always packed with Midtown residents born after the internet was invented, but if you want a taco spot that can serve as your pre- and endgame headquarters, Rreal is, well, for real.

"There are six locations of this beloved taqueria all over Atlanta, with a Buckhead location coming soon. This is the joint for the college kids, the football pregame crowd, and those who want a quick bite with a side of booze, without the fuss. Try the Birria Barbacoa on a corn tortilla, or order a taco feast with four protein options and taco fixins." - Eater Staff
"Rreal Tacos, originally opened by chef Adrian Villarreal, features tacos and flavors inspired by Villarreal’s hometown of Monterrey, Mexico. Otero and Hernandez took over ownership in 2022 and are expanding the restaurant to multiple locations around Atlanta." - Beth McKibben
"In the eight years since the Midtown location opened, Atlantans have spoken. This restaurant is the “Rreal” deal when it comes to tacos in this city — as it’s since expanded to five total locations. West Midtown, Chamblee, Sandy Springs, and Cumming have become hosts to fantastic tacos and “not tacos,” like fried avocado wedges and elote. Taco specialties include grilled salmon, Costra cheese on a flour tortilla with your choice of meat, picanha steak, and one with a strip of pork belly. Or go nuts with the birria pizza with 12-hour slow-roasted beef barbacoa.( It’s every bit as dramatically oversized as you’d imagine.) Like the original concept, the menu has also expanded exponentially, and that also extends to the lengthy list of margaritas, any of which can be made spicy or with Teremana. Or just order a flight and settle in – plenty of TVs playing plenty of sports at most of the locations welcome you to do so." - Su-Jit Lin
