For Heaven's Sake, Why?

by shadrocker at Citysearch

"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

Good food, awful straff

by MJK at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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
