Nuevo Laredo Cantina
1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 352-9009
This authentic (small) place is a little hard to find but worth the drive and the wait. They provide awesome home cooked dishes across the board and they have a loyal following here in Atlanta. Not to sound like your mother, but give the lobster tacos a try! Hours of Operation: Mon-Thu 11am-10pm Fri-Sat 11am-11pm
Rio Grande Cantina
3227 Roswell Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30305
(404) 237-3227
We have said it countless times but we will say it again, our reviews are not based on the restaurant experience alone. Is this the best Mexican food Atlanta has to offer? Not even close. Find us a better patio scene with a better looking crowd and we will pick up your next dinner tab (just leave it under your pillow and we will get it while you are sleeping). We would be doing you an injustice if we did not mention this place based on the overall experience. Thank us later. Hours of Operation: Mon 11am-10pm Tue-Sat 11am-11pm Sun 12pm-10pm
No Mas Cantina
180 Walker St Atlanta, GA 30313
(404) 574-5678
Impressive design and huge venue in the heart of the Castleberry Hill art district (close to Phillips Arena & the CNN Center). One of the more unique places in town because you can literally buy anything you see and we are not talking about tacos and fajitas. All of the furnishings in the restaurant are for sale. Get the in-laws something authentic this year! Hours of Operation: Sun-Thu 11am-11pm Fri-Sat 11am-12am
Uncle Julio's Casa Grande
1860 Peachtree Road NE Atlanta, GA 30309
(404) 350-6767
With delicious standard mexican (tex-mex) food, Uncle Julio's (Casa Grande) is a popular spot with both the Buckhead and Midtown Atlanta crowds and has a great atmosphere with the outdoor patio overlooking Peachtree Ave. If you are looking for good mexican food (and you clearly are), then this is the perfect spot to hit before heading out. Get a pitcher of Swirl! Hours of Operation: Sun-Thu 11am-10:30pm Fri-Sat 11am-11:30pm
Rosa Mexicano
245 18th St NW Atlanta, GA 30363

Verde

Tin Lizzy's
3639 Piedmont Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30305
(404) 846-6000
This is quickly becoming one of the most popular drinking destinations in the Buckhead area. It's a small bar, but not run-down and old like most other "dive" bars and the food is better than you would expect. You will not be disappointed in the crowd either since it is a very popular Florida State hangout. Sun-Thu 11:30am-10pm (For Food) Fri-Sat 11:30am-11pm (For Food) Bar is open daily until 2am
Zocalo
187 10th St NE Atlanta, GA 30309

Lupe
905 Juniper St NE Atlanta, GA 30309
(678) 904-4584
Lupe is a nice yet casual Mexican restaurant / taqueria and tequila bar located in Midtown Atlanta on Juniper Street. The service is fast and the food is great. Try the fish tacos! Closed Sundays and Mondays which is lame (downgrade just for that). Also, not open for lunch... Hours: Tuesday - Thursday from 6:30pm-Midnight; Friday - Saturday from 6:30pm-1:00am
Taqueria Del Sol
1200 Howell Mill Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 352-5811
Taqueria Del Sol sits in a renovated commercial space in west Midtown and may have the best tacos in town. It's a well known lunch spot and expect to wait a few minutes without complaining. Our experience tells us that the general public is willing to wait when things are worth waiting for! Pay attention and follow the unwritten rules of ordering and leaving in a timely fashion when crowded. There are other locations in Atlanta so check their site for the one closest to you. Hours of Operation: Mon 11am-2pm Tue-Thu 11am-2pm, 5:30pm-9pm Fri 11am-2pm, 5:30pm-10pm Sat 12pm-3pm, 5:30pm-10pm
