What People Are Saying About Taqueria Del Sol

Citysearch
The Scene – A pioneer of the Westside area's dramatic comeback, Taqueria del Sol features a futuristic filling-station look. Inside, it's a spartan arrangement of stainless-steel counters, exposed ductwork and gleaming garage doors. A polished wooden bowl filled with oranges, beachy-looking azure cinder block and a wall lined with jewel-toned tequilas make it all feel breezy and far away. – – The Food – Authentic Mexican flavors abound, whether in sporty sounding boutique tacos or hard-core authentic street fare. Opt for popular hickory-smoked pork tacos with barbecue…

For Heaven's Sake, Why?

"Northern hospitality with Southern efficiency."
This is for the Decatur location - can't seem to move it though. Anyway...
Avoid this Faux-ican disaster. The only thing authentic was my disgust.
We got such terrible and unjustified treatment here from the manager (as a group of people of color) that we thought the place might be run by bigots. Was ready to call the NAACP, until I read the citysearch reviews and learned that they are equal opportunity douchebags. And, seriously, the food is just "okay," at best. I don't see what the hype is about. Por favor.
This place is so not worth it. You'll get better food and much better treatment elsewhere. I can only explain this place's popularity as a successful psychological manipulation - making people think that if the lines are long and customers put up with abuse, the food must be good and the place is worth it. Trust me, it ain't. Don't fall for it.
- Pros: will make you appreciate better food elsewhere
- Cons: making the mistake of coming here

I don't get it
by deevah678 at Citysearch
This is a great place for college kids who want to get a couple of cheap tacos, eat quickly, and leave the restaurant. With all the tasty and affordable Mexican food in Atlanta, I'd rather sit at a table and enjoy my food comfortably versus waiting in a long line with no guarantee of a table...just for a couple of $2 tacos. It might be best in the dead of winter when the lines are shorter, but I will go elsewhere for a cheap Mexican fix.
- Pros: Cheap
- Cons: Long lines, Rushed atmosphere
The Details on Taqueria Del Sol
Save Money:
Soft drinks are served by the can, so refills will cost you. Try iced tea (both sweet or unsweet) instead, as they're of the bottomless variety.
When to Go:
The restaurant is an extremely popular lunch destination, so it's best to arrive before 11:45am to avoid long lines.
What to Drink:
Try the signature Westside margarita, made with Herradura Reposada tequila and Cointreau.
