"Tacos La Villa in Smyrna is a go-to destination for some of the most authentic and affordable tacos in the Atlanta area. This taqueria draws crowds for its al pastor, carne asada, and lengua tacos. Their pizza birria and heart-shaped taco platter are perfect for sharing. Despite its small size, the restaurant has a loyal following, with lines often forming during peak hours, but the service remains friendly and fast." - Eater Staff, Toni Williams
"Tacos La Villa in Smyrna is another all-star in our taco hall of fame. This counter-service restaurant does traditional birria tacos very well, too, but we’re big fans of their pizza birria. Mounds of shredded beef and a hefty amount of melted cheese are sandwiched between two giant tortillas. It really does look like a big meat pie—so huge they put it in a pizza box. And at $18, you get eight slices, which are bigger than a single taco ($3.50). Your fingers will be bright orange at the end, but it’s worth braving the oil stains and consommé splatter for this deal." - juli horsford
"Wave after wave of people bring life to this relatively quiet Smyrna shopping plaza during the lunchtime hour. They’re here for the affordable corn tortilla tacos from Tacos La Villa. With 13 protein options, our favorites are the tender lamb and chopped steak. The tacos are small (we’re talking like three large bites). But the prices range from $1.80 to $3, so we gladly compile a taco collection to take to our table. Hit the condiment bar to doctor yours up with three types of salsas (the green crema is the star), cilantro, onions, and anything else you fancy. " - juli horsford, demarco williams
"It’s easy to overlook Tacos La Villa's green, white, and red sign in the somewhat dated shopping plaza in Smyrna. So just follow the crowds that flock to this Mexican spot for lunch and dinner. Colorful murals on the walls match the colorful food baskets that hold everything from tasty tacos to tamales and tortas. While you listen for your order number, shouted out in Spanish and English, head to the condiment bar and load up on cilantro, onions, salsas (the green crema is the star), and anything else you need to doctor your food. The corn tortilla tacos are a must, particularly with the tender lamb, but there are 12 other protein options (all are less than $3 each). Another must is the shareable birria pizza that’s juicy even without dunking it in the consomé. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman" - Juli Horsford
"With locations in Smyrna and Kennesaw, this counter-service Mexican restaurant offers birria tacos, quesabirria tacos, and even pizzabirria on the menu. The latter is a pure, cheesy indulgence. All come with a side of consomme. Lines get long here at lunch, so grab a horchata and sit outside while waiting for the order." - Eater Staff
