Willy's Mexicana Grill - Downtown/Peachtree Center

Local burrito chain mixes college-joint atmosphere and grown-up flavors.

by Contributor

In Short
Functional and fast, this local burrito chain features a spiffed-up version of the mighty handheld meal. Thanks to some good basic flavors (cilantro-garlic steak, chipotle barbecue pork) and a generous hand with garnishes, tese burritos are too heavy on beans-and-rice. The "Super" comes with lettuce, cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Vegetarian options are also available, as are quesadillas and tacos. Stick with the burritos, especially the celebrated Green Mole Chicken.

by brythonic

I love this place!!! Fast, cheap, fresh and good says it all. Willy's service american mexican in a flash. Walk in, read the menu and then step up to the counter and order. They will make it in front of you to your specs. But watch out. Just about everything there is huge and delicious.

Good, but where is Chiptole??

by atlimpressivefun

Willy's is good stuff, and it is the best burrito that Atlanta has to offer right now. Chiptole's restaurants and burritos kick some serious macho guaco butt though, and I hope they get to Atlanta soon!

Better Mexican

by andrewfischer

In a city filled with bad mexican eateries, Willy's stands out with decent food at low prices. Willy's is not as good as Rubio's, but Rubio's doesn't have a Franchise in Atlanta...

• Pros: Inexpensive

Cheap and easy

Willy's isn't exactly a fancy restaurant, but it definitely serves a purpose. If you want good quality food (and lots of it) fast and cheap, Willy's is your place. The ingredients are always fresh and your burrito is made to order right away. If there's not a huge line (as there often is at the Piedmont Park location), you can be in and out in about 1/2 hour.

I've tried both Willy's and Moe's. They essentially have the same menu. But I think Willy's is just a touch better.

• Pros: Cheap, Fast, Enough food to split
• Cons: Little atmosphere, Sometimes crowded, Limited parking
