Los Ninos Taqueria

After reading all the 4 and 5 star reviews, we decided to try Los Ninos, but we were disappointed overall.We ordered 6 different tacos for a variety and to sample multiple meats. In addition, we ordered a margarita and queso, but the queso was never entered.I was really disappointed in the flavors. Out of all the meat options we tried, the chorizo was the only one that had any flavor. The salsas were ok, but didn't add much and the handmade tortillas were dry.We received the food before the drinks, which was frustrating since there were only 2 customers there.

Love this place! The food is delicious. Casual atmosphere. Order at the counter.I had the salad with barbacoa. The chips are homemade and the cheese dip is chipotle flavored - yum!There is parking behind the restaurant.

Stopped in for margaritas and tacos and everything was so good! The tacos were delicious and the margarita were so good! The services was so fast even tho the place was packed. I totally see why it was so full everything was delicious. It was a small place but so cute. Will definitely be back.

I placed an online order and picked it up less than 15 minutes later. It was already waiting for me in the pickup lockers in the back, which was a nice touch. I was in a rush so I grabbed and went. Unfortunately, the online platform messed up my order (no idea how and I was unable to replicate the problem). So unfortunately my two tacos were served plain with no cilantro or onions. There is no phone number for this restaurant on their website or on Google so I was unable to call and ask them to fix it. I also got a torta in addition to the tacos. However, even if the tacos had come with the cilantro and onions I still would not have anything nice to say. Perhaps I messed up in getting only carne asada on my tacos and torta and not some other protein because I thought it was awful. I've been eating a lot of tacos lately and I have never encountered carne asada prepared in the manner that it was here. It was like stew meat, mushy and shredded. The only flavor was salt. Honestly, if you told me it was canned steak, I would believe you. Normally carne asada is diced chopped grilled steak right? Am I tripping? The carne asada I received never saw a grill. I added the pico de gallo to the tacos in absence of the cilantro and onions and squeezed some lime on top and all that resulted was the bottom of the tortilla ripping to shreds. The torta was no better and was so bland. The only thing I could taste was the salty meat. I can't help but wonder if maybe the carne asada is not their strong suit and the other meats are supremely better??The order came with a bag of thick tortilla chips that were definitely made in-store but they seemed a bit overcooked as they were dark brown. They were very nicely salted though and the sauces that came with the food were pretty tasty. Overall, I would definitely never order the carne asada ever again. I'm not opposed to coming back and trying something different but this was not a great first impression.

We just love this little taqueria. It is hands down the best in the Decatur area. The menu is varied and tastes more Authentic Mexican than others around. The quality of the ingredients they use are better than most taquerias. Tortillas are homemade! We have been here numerous times and have loved it each and every time. We vary our lunch a bit but there are two tacos that are always on the platter.This trip we had the mandatory Barbacoa Taco and the Chorizo Taco and added the Carnitas Taco. We also go the queso which is a bit different than most Mexican restaurants with an added chipotle flavor. We have not liked chipotle in the past but this wonderful queso is always on the table. The tacos are overstuffed. If they were served on two corn tortillas one could make two! But save you "fall outs" from those tacos and eat with a bit of queso on a chip. Speaking of corn chips...these are delicious. Thicker than the normal and were great. We always have left over chips and queso for the next at home meal. We have had the pollo taco and it is also wonderful. Never had anything here that we have not loved.Highly recommend. And will definitely return. Service is great. Order at the counter and take a seat and you will be treated to some very good Mexican food.

Great ambience and service food was amazing there's just like home cooked! And the horchata was homemade

I ordered 4 street tacos 2 Carna asada, 1 Barbacoa, and one shrimp. The shrimp was just not good at all. The carna asada was okay but needed a little more flavor. The street tortilla's were homemade. I got the Queso dip with the tortilla chips. Those chips were home made and very fresh. The Queso dip was okay but could've been better. It just didn't seem like any effort was made in making the food good and authentic. They only have the house regular margarita so don't think you're going to get top shelf with salt around the rim. They have a basic mix that came from the store.

Honestly the tacos were quite disappointing. The lengua was bland, and the salsa was the worst part- it tasted like watered down tomato paste- no flavor, no spice. The barbacoa was tough, and the pastor was ok. Their tamal was decent, but it was a bit dry and did not taste fresh. Overall- not worth the money when there are authentic amazing places all along buford highway

Ive always wanted to come here! Located in decatur right outside of the square is Los Ninos Taqueria! A super cute no frills taqueria with great vibes, free parking in the back, and amazing authentic tacos! Simon knows all the good stuff! Per his rec we got al pastor tacos and a barbacoa with a side of rice and beans and two margaritas! Imo for the quality of how good everything was it was very fairly priced! Its small venue but beautifully decorated and they have a tiny patio in the back as well!We will definitely be back! Thank you for the great meal

Service was friendly. Atmosphere is authentic and small, which is exactly what you want in a taqueria! Tacos were cheap, amazing, packed with meat. Insane that this is my first time. Recommend the lengua and al pastor. Salsas were solid too. Will definitely be back!
