Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/18/2009 - Bland,Bland,BlandI don't really understand the good reviews. This may be a place that is just good for drinks and hanging out, NOT a good place for food. Everything had no flavor, just simply bland and not one thing tasted fresh or homemade. The tacos were also small and if I was a server I would have been embarassed to bring the food out. We did have a nice server though. First and last visit to this place.
Read More On Citysearch Goodcritic 6/25/2009 - Surprisingly good, and funI like this place! Based on the name of the restaurant and it's N. Highland location, I wasn't really expecting to find good Mexican food, especially at such reasonable prices. The fish and pablano tacos are good, and my boyfriend loves the ones with fried chicken. They have some Mexican pizzas that are actually really good, too, particularly the veggie one. I have a healthy appetite, and I'v...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/5/2009 - Lively Saturday Night SpotWe visited El Taco this past Saturday for a fun girls dinner and we weren't disappointed. The inside was happening-and our bartender helped us pick the right libation to start the night-for me that was a fro mo, and for my friend a classic margarita served straight up. We started with chips and salsa and heavily raided the salsa bar-my only critique is that none of the salsas was 5 alarm! I had t...
Read More On Citysearch SLPearse 3/30/2009 - ONE OF THE BEST MEXICAN SPOTS AROUNDAs a true life lover of mexican food I can honestly say this is one of the absolute BEST MEXICAN restaurant around! As for anyone who would compare this restaurant to Tequieria del Sol, it is less than 5 minutes from where I live and I pass by there on a regular basis to get El Taco. Tequiera is a good cheap mexican restaurant but when it come to taste and innovation, it is light years beyond ...
Read More On Citysearch ladygodiva7 1/26/2009 - Nothing Really Original Here, But Fun!What a fun and welcomed new place for the hood. Mexican for the masses. The fun factor really goes high. The Margs are delicious, and near perfect. But Orginal El Taco, it is not! It lacks the orgiionality of a true Mexican joint like the one on Chattahoochee Ave., or the Holy funk of the place in East Atlanta. No I'm not going to be tacky, and call out other places by name, like some of the emp...

That said, I've never had a bad experience at a Fifth Group Restaurant - this is no exception! It is already very popular and I get why - the vibe is fun & casual, the frozen margaritas are perfect, the music, the tv's, the staff, and the price all fit the laid-back Highlands perfectly. I've gone three...
Read More On Citysearch FoodChickie 11/19/2008 - A solid addition to the Highlands offering El Taco is a good combination of affordable and inventive food choices, a great bar, and casual yet upbeat atmosphere. It really fills the void in the neighborhood after the departure of (the original) Sala. My favorite choice for entrees is the Mexican flatbread pizza. We chose the carnitas pizza, which was really yummy. The fresh guacamole was likewise a good choice for appetizers (though...

I am so tired of standing next to stinky dumpsters waiting to get a tired old table in the carpeted "dining room" at Neuvo Laredo - and equally tired of giving my hard earned cash to the rude owners of that "place" on Howell Mill. El Taco is a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Quickly - my favorites are the mouth-watering guacamole and chips, ...

Wanted to try this place since Sala closed. The place has a good atmosphere and good service but the food is extremely bland. We tried the flautas appetizer which was basically 2 taquitos placed in a cup of refried beans, the talapia and pork tacos were the worst I ever tasted...actually no taste and the pork was extremely chewy (took one bite), the mexican pizza tasted like a corn tortilla with ...
