What a beautiful outdoor spot. The food is delicious and full of flavor. I had the tostada with chicken and black beans. I also had the queso - yum. The chips are perfectly salted. My friends had two different bowls (one carnitas ) and couldn't say enough nice things about them. Pets are allowed. All seating is outdoors. Order at the counter and find your favorite spot.
We love El Tesoro so much we had them cater our wedding! They delivered above and beyond! Noah was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, always responsive and accommodating to our needs. He was always honest about the cost and what the chefs were willing to do for such a large event (160+ guests), but made sure the menu was exactly what we wanted for the day. They were also very affordable for an event of this size, which made our decision to go with them even better. If you're looking for amazing food that represents the best of Atlanta's restaurants at your next event, this team is the way to go.
My wife and I went out with friends in Atlanta to El Tesoro. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! Dining was outside and though the line was long, a waitress came and served us while we waited. We placed the order and food was ready in almost seconds! The menu says "Best Burritos in Atlanta, 2023" and they were incredible! I ordered the asada steak burrito (and I made it a "burrito supremo" for $1.95 more. Worth it!) Dining is outdoors like a backyard barbecue, so much fun!
A coworker suggested this place for lunch. It's in a neighborhood right off I-20, and outdoor seating... It will remind you of a food truck setup. This was actually my second time at the restaurant, and I enjoyed both times. The guacamole is well made, chips are fresh (if a little salty), queso is decent, and I really enjoyed my quesadilla at the second visit. Prices are reasonable and service is good. Definitely a go to for a quick meal
