Taqueria Del Sol

I don't get it

by deevah678

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

Good food, awful straff

by MJK

It's a shame that a place like Taqueria Del Sol that serves good food has to employ such A-holes to work there. I never seen such a collection of rude individuals in one place like I have at the Taqueria - Howell Mill location. The head A-hole is the bald headed guy with the beard. God forbid you need something and ask that fellow.

I've been going there for nine years. I accepted the rude people that worked there because I liked the food. But there comes a point in which you become sick of being treated like garbage. I have a choice and I'm not going back.

• Pros: Good Food
• Cons: Awful staff

twice a week isn't enough

by jawja

get the weekly specials. always a good choice. Never had a meal I didn't like. the rudeness as some people say,is part of the atmispere. It's not really rudness it's just getting you use to the rules! once you know the rules....no problem.

• Pros: addicting taste, quick for lunch.
• Cons: they aren't opened everyday

Best Little Tacos!

by DHSAlumni

My options, get there early or stand in line. Either way, the wait is well worth it. I'm addicted to the fresh salsa and the chicken tacos. YUM!!! I've been there several times and the staff has been cordial each and every time.

Rude Staff... Rude Manager.

by Kate1685

Rude staff... even the manager.... I was appalled at the way they spoke to my elderly grandmother. I used to be a regular but will NEVER eat there again. Customer Service is dead.

Overrated! Mediocre food and rude staff

by atl2009

This restaurant is very overrated. The staff is arrogant and rude. They have no reason to be especially when the food is mediocre. The tacos sound good but don't deliver. The fish taco tastes like a fish stick and the fried chicken taco is bland. I've taken my business and money elsewhere. There are too many other good options in Atlanta.

• Pros: Good guacamole and queso
• Cons: Rude and arrogant staff make this experience miserable

GOOD EATS

by faithfal

TAQUERIA DEL SOL IS ONE OF THE BEST MEXICAN INSPIRED PLACES TO EAT IN ATLANTA. THE FOOD IS GREAT AND INEXPENSIVE. THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT IS FUN. THE STAFF MOVES FAIRLY QUICK. THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE WOULD BE THE LONG LINES THAT ARE CONSTANTLY OUT OF THE DOOR. BUT THAT IS SURELY A TELL TALE SIGN THAT THE FOOD IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT.

Believe the Hype

by rangeland4

I've enjoyed the Huff/Howell Mill Road restaurant for almost ten years now and have always known you stand in line, give your order, sit eat and get out! That's it in a nutshell. Food is excellent and the "system" works like a Piaget watch. Not all of us drag around kids and it seems as if they are always the one's complaining.

• Pros: Food/Service
• Cons: none

Pretentous

by Esch

Taqueria has good food. I do not think it's cheap. Appropriately priced maybe. I get the feeling from the staff that I should be privelaged to eat at their restaurant. The line and the attitude is not worth the food.

• Pros: Good food
• Cons: Long line, too much attitude from cashier

Terrible Customer Service

by 22neveragain22

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 me in a raised voice ?that is why we have that sign on the wall!? As I got back in line, shocked from my mistreatment, he pointed to me and said ?she thinks she can run this restaurant, I RUN THIS RESTAURANT? for all of us to witness. After a moment another friend went to apologize to him for the innocent misunderstanding and received the same rude treatment in return. I can honestly say that I have never been treated so rudely in my life. Fortunately my friends and I have worked in restaurants for many years. We all know this sort of behavior from an employee is unacceptable. It is my understanding that a restaurant wants continual business from their patrons. I can say that my ten friends and I will probably never eat again at that restaurant even though the other service was prompt and the food was delicious.

• Cons: customer service
