The Original El Taco is Atlanta’s favorite neighborhood taqueria serving the best Tex-Mex and Mexican dishes in a friendly and fun atmosphere. Voted “Best Mexican” by Citysearch, our best tacos are unique combinations of the best Mexican flavors and go great with an ice-cold cerveza. Or enjoy a Tex-Mex classic like grilled chicken fajitas with a chilly frozen margarita on the patio at the best Tex Mex Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. Our diners love our free salsa bar featuring house-made salsa combinations with fresh cilantro & limes. And they really love it when we spin the ‘Wheel of Taco.’ El Taco is open every night in Virginia Highland for dinner and weekend lunch – and we’re kid-friendly!
