Elmyriachi

Consistently one of my favorite spots in Atlanta. When you come here you know you're getting good food, food service, and chill vibes. I normally stop in for brunch and they do have bottomless! Only got apps this time but tried the pork skins for the first time and 11/10.

This is a great local Mexican spot. We came on a Friday night around 6 and it was crowded! We waited about 20 minutes for a table. There were lots of families, so it actually cleared out as the night went on. They have all the classics. We got queso, a burrito and chicken quesadilla. All very good if you are looking for good old Mexican food. They also have decent margs for a decent price. You do have to pay for chips as a heads up!

I've been to El Myr exactly twice. The first time, in December 2015, wasn't really my bag. I remember being served some brisket tacos that were lost somewhere in the hipster BBQ trend that was sweeping the city at the time. The meat was sweet, like Kansas City sweet; the zing of a proper and savory taco was not really decipherable. I didn't return for about eight years, and I love Tex-Mex.El Myr is a standby in the Kirkwood square, now serving for almost a decade, I think. They are Kirkwood-famous for the bar, which offers a nice selection of you-guessed it margaritas and some other swell cocktails. True to form in this beer town, they have an extensive draft list featuring some beloved local and regional beers.I was persuaded to return by my hungry children and a partner who agreed that we would not be cooking tonight. Anyway, it had been so long that I forgotten what the place looked like on the inside. The outdoor dining is spacious and sunny, with ample shade features to block the late-summer blaze. The crowd was pleasant and seemed kind of hip - seating was at about 70% at 5:00pm on a Sunday, and there was lots of pleasant chatter. Service was congenial and honestly, pretty fast. With the current table occupancy, I expected a much longer wait. The servers were extremely kind to my kids, who were plied into silence by a salsa sampler.So, I ordered the flautas. If you have not tried, they are a Tex-Mex standby where a protein is tightly rolled in a tortilla and deep fried. These were filled with chicken. Very tasty dish, the meat was well-seasoned and the portion was pretty generous, with three big ones coming out on the plate. They were blazing hot and served with some queso for dipping. Kids both nabbed their usual quesadilla and choccy milk.They've redeemed themselves (in my memory anyway). I think they've settled into a more classic Tex-Mex niche and we had a very pleasant meal.

Parking was not easy - it was very busy so we had to street park, however, Our party of 7 was seated immediately during lunch hour! Huge win - This was a plus for me since there were several children with us. Nothing special to indicate about the ambiance or service - neither were extremely warm.Left on a high note - Our food arrived fast and was delicious!

Normally I am bummed by a Mexican restaurant that does not offer complimentary chips and salsa. That being said, that's all we ordered, aside from 2 different but AMAZING margaritas!! I consider myself somewhat of a salsa connoisseur and let me say that their RED salsa was PERFECTION!!! Savory with heat 10/10 recommend!!!!! Our server was so sweet and willing to chat with us about the menu. They have several vegetarian and vegan options. Pet friendly and generally a very chill place. We loved it. Will definitely return for a meal!! (Only reason we didn't eat was because we were going to a foodie event close by)

I love this place so much! It's a chill spot with insanely good food. If you're vegetarian or vegan, don't worry because they've got a wide variety of veggie options plus tofu and vegan cheese! Prices are pretty reasonable too! The service is chill as well and sometimes it's a little slow but sometimes you luck out with an awesome waiter. I've had my fair share of both. They also have brunch on the weekends too!

One of the restaurants on my "want to go" list. It did not disappoint. Sat on the patio, on a beautiful GA evening. Service was attentive and pleasant, although it was busy. Dog friendly and Vegan friendly too. The margarita was tasty as well as the trio salsa and chips and the stacked chicken enchiladas. I will return, hopefully for Cinco de Mayo.

Love this place... my favorite is the brisket tacos which has a flavor punch out of this world

This is an ok little Mexican spot with good drinks at reasonable prices. The service is very spotty here. It was terrible when I came with a friend and just as bad when I came just for drinks a second time. My friend and I waited about 15 minutes before the guy came to our table (after passing by several times). I enjoyed the nachos and the pork rinds which were tasty. They forgot my queso however which I asked for on the side. Then made excuses that it was burned but offered no recourse. They have a parking lot which is great for the area!They do charge for chips and salsa which is meh. And I think when my friend and I came for drinks we were charged $4 for chips and salsa but maybe that's the price. I do think they need to work on their service. Folks are friendly but they're lacking in this area.

I came for the mariyachi!!! It is STRONG and reasonably priced at $8!I came here for it and i was satisfied!The tacos were good and the food was reasonably priced. The service was ok. And the ambiance was family oriented and chill.Plenty of parking and it's FREE
