El Taco Azteca - Kennesaw

I really love the hot, thin chips! The salsa is fresh and flavorful! We shared the delicious fajitas, which were a generous portion. The birria tacos are amazing as well. The service was good, and the patio is a lovely spot to dine!

I drive by this restaurant a couple times a week and had been wanting to try it. The best thing about this restaurant is the outdoor seating. Service was mediocre at best, it took one hour to receive our meal. I ordered carne asada tacos and the meat was SO dry, I won't be returning.

A smidgen under four stars. What this restaurant has going for it is a shaded porch, strong drinks, and a waiter (whose name escapes me who was smiley, charming and made me feel better on a difficult day. (Note my large margarita! While there are Mexican restaurants I favor, I'm always up to trying new places. We had been in the building years ago when it was occupied by a wonderful Eastern European eatery, and I was curious about its replacement. While I liked El Taco's salsa and chips the salsa has zing! my fajitas were only three stars. Chicken was nicely grilled and seasoned as requested, but not well trimmed. (Some cartilage and grizzle. Neither the rice nor my beans were anything special. I didn't think T's cochinita pibil (braised pork shoulder looked appealing, but he said it was delicious. The black beans that came with it were infinitely better than the refried ones on my plate. Sometimes ambience in this case a comfortable outdoor setting wins out. So yes, we will be back!

Gabby brought us chips and salsa along with our drinks. I highly recommend the Hawaiian drink; it had rum and a beautiful pink flower garnish. If you enjoy sweet beverages, this one's for you! The food was equally delightful. I ordered the chicken soup in the smallest size, which came in a huge bowl—definitely enough to take home. The steak azteca tacos were incredibly flavorful and juicy; I absolutely recommend them! Next time, I'm looking forward to trying the fish tacos. My brother had the esquites, which he loved, and my husband ordered the fajitas—big thumbs up from me! My son tried the kid's burrito, which was a generous portion; he had plenty left over to take home. He didn't share it, but he said it was tasty. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu, which had a great variety of options. There was also ample parking available outside and plenty of outdoor seating.

Cute neighborhood restaurant, reminded me of a house so you get a cozy feeling that you're eating at home. The food was good and the service was great. Especially loved the house margarita very tasty and flavorful.
