Red Pepper was really good with a good vibe, music and excellent staff to match. Also, has a great patio tucked down away from the street and a big tequila bar

Creative Loafing Atlanta

The requisite trio of salsas & chips are satisfying — you'll have a hard time picking a favorite among the green tomatillo , cascabel chili , & tomato salsa (the salsa & chips are not free, though). Read more

The chicken nachos here are piled high and super slutty. CL named them one of the 100 dishes to eat before you die. Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

But there's also ahi tuna , chicken mole , and brisket sopes , not to mention a vast selection of tequila and mezcal to fuel some fine drinks. Read more

Any item on the menu that has steak in it is juicy and divine!! All the food here is on point! Very nice staff . Brandice is a great manager...very friendly and attentive!

Elizabeth Choi

Best margaritas ! Frozen or on the rocks. And the service is always great :) their food might not be the best Mexican but everything they use is locally grown and never frozen so the food tastes fresh.

chad shearer

The oyster bar is pretty badass. Have six types to choose from. The charbroiled with Parmesan is a must.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Red Pepper Taqueria is a bit like a Mexican version of Taco Mac, with a lot more "taco " and a lot less, um, "mac." There's a nice beer list (and even beer taps on some of the tables) Read more

Ben Skelton

Raw oysters are good as were the fish tacos . Al Pastor tacos needed some more flavor. Nice spot.

Jeremy Barrow

Texas Margaritas with a shot of Karma Tequila on the side! Tacos are the BOOM!

Steven Sangha

Come on Thursdays for the $4 skinny margaritas . They actually taste delicious and get you drunk too. Food is nothing spectacular. Guac served in tiny bowls.

Scott of Atlanta

Don't forget to sign up with their loyalty cards - they're actually worth it: 10% off checks ( not drinks or specials), birthday discounts , collect points.

TJ

The tacos here are delicious. One of my favorite places to come & eat multiple tacos .

Maggie M

This place is great. Strong cocktails , pour your own beer at some of the booths . Food is worth and service is great!

Victoria Forbes-Roberts

Kids menu has good options beyond the usual chicken finger garbage. Good value for family dining .

Tatiana Han

Trio salsa and chips were the best part, but that's not saying much...the meat was barely seasoned, the tacos were soggy & warm-to-cool by the time I received them. Brisket beef , again, underseasoned.

Jelyne Helms

Called to reserve a tap table this morning but they said no reservations . Walked in three hours later and all the tap tables are reserved .

Kelsey Agnew

Show your check-in during brunch (11-3 on weekends) for a free mimosa !

Celestine C

The Poblano Corn Soup is excellent.

Claire

Good margs . Queso was good, atmosphere was cool. Tacos were a 7 out of 10 I'd say. Not my favorite taco joint but might go back.

ML Graham

Much better Mexican at other eateries in the area and less expensive too.
