"Gates C and F, open at 6am When The Original El Taco closed in Virginia-Highland, we were distraught thinking of our last tasty taco there. But two locations (in Terminals C and F) remain operational in the airport, so we can still indulge in a taco or two (even if it’s not nearly as good as the flagship restaurant). The counter stalls open at 6am every morning and offer a few breakfast options. Flour tortillas filled with standard, large-batch scrambled eggs, pico, and guacamole might not exactly taste first-class. But clocking in at $5 each, our wallet is happy and we’re on our way to our departure gate with food in hand while our friends are still near the back of some coffee shop line." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard

For an airport, this is pretty good food. It's also a rare place that has a good vegan meal! Salsa was some of the best I've had at any Mexican restaurant.

This review is about the The Original El Taco at Concourse C in ATL Airport. This one is right across from gate C15. Price was right. But food quality was meh. I ordered Pollo Asado (Grilled chicken) taco. It was $5.04 after tax. The taco was a soggy mess. The cashier was taking my order while browsing her phone.

I travel through the ATL international wing several times a year and always love to get some Mexican but have been extremely disappointed the last three times. I’ve been hesitant to complain as I understand we can all have bad days but this is now 3 bad days in a row over the coarse of the last 6 months. The staff is always in the back and appears inconvenienced when a customer appears at their counter. To add to to this, walking slower than molasses from the rear to the front doesn’t help matters and each time, I’ve ordered a chicken quesadilla only to be told there won’t be any available for another 20 minutes as the chicken is still on the grill. How long does it take to grill some chicken and why isn’t any ready when there has not been a line of customers in front of me. As I’ve said, this is 3 times in a row with the same experience over 6 months.

I really like the food here but owners have to do SOMETHING about the staff. They are consistently rude, but tonight was another level. The staff were trying to close 30 minutes early so they kept turning customers away and were openly talking to each other about how they shouldn’t sell any more so that they can eat whatever doesn’t get sold. Owners should be aware.

Had a terrible experience at the Concourse F location in ATL airport. Staff was uninterested in offering customers a timely and pleasant experience. A huge line formed and customers waited in confusion. On top of the rudely slow service, the staff mixed up order numbers…my food was cold after sitting in plain sight unnoticed by anyone…the vegan tacos didn’t make any of it worthwhile.

Enjoyed The Taco Ground Beef with lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese. Great Beef Taste Fresh Produce Needed Sauce to enhance Taco Flavor. Small Taco for 6.47 with Tax Overpriced

Customer service from Monica was top notch. She was fast, and courteous. People who write bad reviews are expecting authentic food and that’s not realistic for the airport. We got the vegan tacos and they were fine in a pinch.

The food was so disappointing. Especially for its price as well, it was almost like a knock off tacobell but in an airport. The service is a 5 only because there was really no line and I thought maybe all those people in burger king are missing out on some nice tacos but... I was wrong they had nothing to miss out on.
