Reviews for El Tesoro in Atlanta, GA
Authentic & Relaxed. Service: 1/10. No one has a clue on how to run the POS system. Its either extremely complicated which... contributes to the incredibly long lines or the staff just doesn?t really care. Either way there really is no customer service,its casual dining order in line, pick up food, grab drink and find a seat. Cleanliness: 6/10 use outhouse ?bathroom? at your ownrisk. Dining in is basically a huge lush dirt gravel vegetable garden outback. Food: 9/10 see pics. After waiting over an hourthe first time and still returning again in the rain a second time its safe to say the food is worth it and the drinks areamazing. They never seem to have the blue corn tortillas in stock but we?ll keep going back until they do. Ambiance: 5/10 Itspretty neutral. Folks go there for a good bite to eat, nothing pretentious. Just chill backyard hipster vibes with 90?s euromusic wafting in the background. Absolutely zero guarantees on the parking situation so be prepared to hoof it. Read more

By far one of the best hidden gem taco spots in Atlanta. This place is not far off the beaten path and it?s nestled in such a... cute laid back part of Atlanta. It?s reminiscent of someone?s Tias back yard and they?re serving up legit authentic tacos notalike anything you can get in these other taco spots. This place is no gimmicks , no thematic play on Mexican culture to makeup for subpar foods, this food is legit. From the handmade masa tortillas to their chicharrones and elotes, you can just tellit is just made differently here. There?s no feeling of production, no feeling of inauthenticity. It just feels like I?m at myaunts and uncles and they?re feeding me like family does. They even have a secondary line for quicker orders next to theirregular order line so if you go in a pair of two you can enjoy their mezcal margarita or Paloma while you wait in line to order.This place also has its own parking lot, though it?s not as robust as the queue should warrant, but there is ample streetparking. Their outdoor patio area and seating is all self service and clean up is big boy and big girl rules. So come forexcellent authentic food and stay for chill vibes and awesome outdoor area and strong drinks Read more
Great atmosphere. Outside seating. 21+ area. Umbrellas at the tables. A few games outside. Easy ordering, in line first then... seated. Water stations throughout outside. 3 unisex restroom single stalls. Had to clean table myself by pouring water and thetable. Ordered birria tacos. Tacos were great. Didn?t like the birria taco sauce, it tasted like grease. They had specials. Easyordering from the bar without having to get back in line, they take appetizer orders as well, all orders you?ll have to get backin line. Good drinks. Nice location. Great spot. I?ll go back.

Really good Mexican food! We ordered tacos and Mexican Pizza. The Mexican Pizza is so so yummy and huge so make sure to share... with the table. We also ordered strawberry daiquiris that were very good! Make sure to eat your food there so that you canenjoy their outside dining area. Read more
By far my favorite Mexican spot in Atlanta. The line to order can get long but the line for the bar is always short you so can... enjoy a delicious margarita or two while you wait. The staff is some of the friendliest and most lighthearted I?ve met inAtlanta and they make the whole experience better. The food itself is fantastic, especially the burritos. Overall, this isbasically exactly the type of place I love to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends. Read more
Everything here is so good. We?ve now been multiple times and they?re very consistent. Burritos and Mulitas are delish. The... flavors are heavenly. Fast take out, incredibly kind and interactive staff. Great outdoor seating. Just a total win. Read more
Ugh what a disappointment. Came to this restaurant if you could even call it that looking for some good Mexican food. It was... extremely overpriced for what you get. Not sure how this place has such high rating. The chips had lime salt on it, cheese dipwas alright, burrito was average, the carnitas Guerrero was good but not worth the 18$. The tortillas were disgusting You haveto wait in line for a long time as there is only one person taking orders. After you wait all this time they just ask you if youwanna leave a tip and not even bother turning the screen around so you can select no or how much. What exactly am I tippingfor????For waiting in a long line, not knowing what my food would even taste like, there are no servers, you have to go get thefood when they call your name to the counter and carry it yourself. When you finish eating you have to clean your table. Theonly thing this place has going for itself is a large outdoor laid back patio. Not coming back. Huge disappointment. Read more
