Provided by YP.comEl Taco has some of the best Mexican food around VaHi. Their queso is awesome and the margs are fabulous - plus they always have a fun special taco to offer.
Service has been a bit lackluster the last few times I have been, but won't deter me from returning - a good spot for big parties as well!

Provided by YPmobileGreat find in Atlanta. The food was consistently excellent, and the drinks are good too. The wheel is a fun touch.

Provided by YPmobileFamily friendly Mexican. Must get: cheese dip and house salsa. Sit outside if you can. Service generally good but recent Saturday lunch took way too long. People who came after us got served before us. Annoying. But the wheel-spin is fun!

Provided by YP.comOur family favorite for Mexican restaurants. Great for adults, teenagers and the younger kids. Consistent food, good margaritas, and the tokens received for the hourly wheel make it fun for the kids. Plus, call ahead seating.

Provided by YP.comI've been going to El Taco for 5 years now and the service has been nearly always excellent. The cheese dip and salsa bar are my favorites (try the habanero salsa). The most unique thing about this place is the hourly prize wheel that they spin. We've won 2 or 3 times, but it's always fun to be there around the top of the hour.

Provided by YPmobileThis is the best Mexican food I have had in the US. The tamales and fried chicken tacos are wonderful. Be sure to have the flan for desert!
