Best Mexican Food in Atlanta

A guest from Oklahoma came down to Atlanta to take some stunt classes (I know, awesome right!). She wanted to go out with friends to get mexican food nearby and asked for suggestions. Here's what I said...

BarTaco in Inman Park is cool and good, its a trendy place with tasty food. Perfect place to hang with friends. The pork taco is life.  (There is also a BarTaco in West Midtown and Buckhead, but the vibes at the Inman Park location are best)

 299 North Highland Avenue Northeast Atlanta, GA 30307 - 16 minute drive

La Hacienda in Midtown off Monroe is a nice traditional one. Great flavor and nice rooftop type deck in the Spring and Summers.

900 Monroe Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 - 16 minute walk, 7 minute drive

RReal Tacos is a new place everyone loves. I haven't gone yet, but they have high reviews on yelp.

100 6th St NE #110, Atlanta, GA 30308 - 16 minute walk, 5 minute drive

Tin Lizzy's in Midtown of Crescent has great chips and nachos, plus it's extremely close by and open late. 
1136 Crescent Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 - 4 minute walk, 3 minute drive 


** If you're looking for casual inexpensive nearby mexican food, yanno Chipotle style, then walk one block over over to Willy's Mexicana Grill. They just redid the patio and it's much more spacious and nice. Superchill environment, you can grab a bite then go walk through the park.

1071 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 - 5 minute walk, 4 minute drive

TURO in Atlanta: Free $25 Credit

So if you're in town staying at our Midtown Atlanta Airbnb, you can technically walk and use the train to get everywhere since we're centrally located. That said, if you'd like to rent a car for a day or two we suggest trying TURO. It's basically like Airbnb for cars... you can rent a car for a whole day for as little as $20. When my car was in the shop I rented a clean and well-kept 2013 Mercedes C-Class AMG for just $42/day. Then when I applied this $25 credit it was only $17, pretty insane right?! Yes, I know, lol... which is why I suggest it. There are some optional add-ons too.  

They have everything: Fiat, Prius, JEEP, Camery, BMW, Porsche, Tesla, etc. 

 

sample of how the selection will look

Sign-up online. You'll need your license to signup, similar to your Airbnb signup. Then you choose from a list of cars in the area. You can meet them (which will be free / no extra cost) -or- have them deliver the car (many even deliver to the Airport). I usually just uber to the car, you could also take the train. I would suggest downloading the app after you use the link to signup online.

Here's a link to get a $25 credit towards your first TURO trip:
