Taqueria Del Sol

About this business

Located in the new Westside complex, Taqueria Del Sol is quietly building a reputation for its high-quality, yet inexpensive Mexican fare. The interior is rather eclectic and funky, with exposed ductwork and an abundance of wrought iron. A wide variety of Mexican dishes includes all the traditional favorites, but their emphatic specialty is tacos. You'll find a nearly impossible variety of taco combinations, with fish, shrimp, and other odd options. Taqueria Del Sol also has a full bar with a wide selection of cervezas and t... read more

Terrible Customer Service – I was excited to dine for the first time with my group of ten friends. We waited in the ordering line patiently as we visited with each other. Once my party was ordering, another friend and I walked to get two tables next to each other in the restaurant. We were abruptly stopped by an older gentleman with gray hair in a buzzed haircut and a small earring in one ear. He abruptly stopped us and callously told us that we were not to seat ourselves and that it was ?his job.? Then he proceeded to tell ... read more

The food is excellent, very authentic and inexpensive. The margaritas are the best. The fish tacos are my favorite. The only problem is you have to stand in line for your food and it can be very croweded. But it is worth the wait.

Best cheap food anywhere – I eat there almost every Saturday and it's is always a pleasant experience with great food. The rules work and why some people feel, just because they have children, that the rules don''t apply to them just amazes me. You sit when you get your food. Period. There is a reason for it and it works as there are almost always empty tables by the time one places their order. If you were so close to ordering, why did it make such a difference to your children to wait two more minutes? If you are looking f... read more

Turning 27 with Tacos & Margaritas – I have been going to Taqueria for a few years now and definitely consider it my favorite mexican restaurant in the city. I enjoy their "no-fuss" mentality on mexican cuisine and have enjoyed their margaritas on more than a few nights. I recently had a birthday and despite worrying about the sometimes "funny" ordering method and strict rules, they were able to accommodate my group of 10 and rather efficiently at that. They were more than willing to help me make my small celebration work. T... read more

not kid friendly, decent food, inappropriate service – We have gone to Taqueria Del Sol for sometime, and on our recent visit, the place was about half full but the line was moving slowly, and my two year old twins were hungry. Against our usual mo, my wife took a table in the corner to get them seated just as I was getting to the counter. "George" the ever present, semi nice, quite efficicent partial owner was there as usual, and within 60 seconds of my wife finding a table, asked if we had ordered our food yet - she said t... read more

Highly overrated – For waiting in such long lines with such anticipation, the food only remotely reflected the reputation of the taqueria as the el maestro of tacos. I don't know what these food critics were talking about. Have they even been here? My bean and fish tacos were under seasoned and messy. The salsa sampler was alright, but I've had fresher salsa at other restaurants in Atlanta. It's an average place at best, and I won't be coming back.

If you want to be seen in and enjoy long lines,overrated food and like being treated like cattle go here – We have lived in decatur for 2 years and we have given the decatur taqueria del sol one too many chances as we found out tonight. We were treated so badly by the manager tonight when my wife tried to sit with a friend who was already seated. He was so rude that we just grabbed our kids and left. There are mean people running this overrated place. We walked around decatur to find somewhere else to eat. We were in the moo... read more

Do Not Go to Taqueria del Sol in Decatur -- EVER!!!!! – I just had the worst restaurant dining experience at Taqueria del Sol in Decatur. After waiting 45 minutes in line, spending nearly $40 for a family dining experience, I was harassed by the manager to the degree that my wife and family had to leave the restaurant. I have spoken to others and have found similar complaints, with people within our party noting that they have friends that refuse to go there after having similar experiences with the ill tempered manager. Whe... read more

Good food, not-so-good service – You've read a bunch of scathing reviews already about the repellent service. Well, it's true. We've gone there quite a bit over the past several years, always feeling ambivalent about it. The food's good, but the service is so outrageously horrible, it'd be laughable if it weren't true. They stay in business only because Atlanta is full of transient people, so there are always suckers around the next corner who don't know better. That, plus all the poseurs who only care about being seen. They... read more
