Tienda y Carniceria El ejido: Reviews & Ratings
This is one of my favorite Latin joints in Atlanta's food scene. A grocery and a great restaurant all in one. Regarding the restaurant, It's simple and friendly and the food is fantastic. The prices are modest and the value is top notch. The number of locals packing the place each weekend are a testaments the authenticity of the food and friendliness of the people who work here. The restaurant recently extended the open times serving taco's only from 5p-10p Friday, Sat. & Sunday. We come and bring board games or play cards, it's a family favorite!
My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. You have to go here. So good. I'd suggest the tacos.
My aunt brought me here and their Birria was a 5 star birria!!! Love it!! Their horchata water was great and did I mention they have cafe de holla!!!! It is the best ever with a touch of cinnamon!!!!! I recommend it!!!!
Well my lack of the Spanish language didn't help in ordering lunch. I had the Chile rellleno AND a chicken burrito. I was thinking that it would be a combination meal like most Tex mex restaurants. Don't be mistaken- this is neither TexMEx or a combo. Should have known when my bill was 24.00. Instead it was this jumbo burrito that could feed a family of 3. It was a very good burrito, very authentic. Thinking that is like the Combo to include a relleno, I got that too. Did not expect rice, beans and something else as well as the huge relleno. The food is excellent, basically I ordered two meals for me. I have dinner and probably lunch the next day too.
My favorite Mexican Restaurant,starting with the Great hospitality,from the Family waitress,she invited me to sit at her table and even shared her own food with me. The Tacos arei great and they make homemade tortillas, and their homemade " Menudo",is delicious, just like in Mexico. Family owned Restaurant, just the way I like, great food and they make you fell special like home, I greatly reccomend it.
Authentic as it gets y'all. I almost don't want to write this review because it's such a secret spot. The order area is in the back of the grocery store. There are tables and chairs but I've always gotten my order to go because there's never any room to sit. I have had the soupa, the torta, quesadilla and the asada tacos. I want to try more items but those 4 are so freaking good I can't ever change. The packaging is tight so you don't have to worry about leaks. CAUTION: the red salsa is HOT! If you're a chip person get your own. They don't. Keep in mind this is a hole in the wall. They have plastic table cloths and family style seating. Put your pinkies down when you come here and shove a taco in your mouth!
I'd recommend anyone within a 25-30 mi radius and above to drive out for this one. It's the best market and authentic restaurant I've been to. I've had pretty much half of the things there but my favorite thing to get is a steak and cheese Torta with everything including peppers and onions and other tasty surprises of the culture. I'm gonna end this review because I really can't describe it any better. But I will say GO TRY IT OUT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!
My first visit and this is as authentic as you will find. I ordered the Costilla en salsa Rojas and it was excellent. I'm new in the East Point area and this is a great find. Highly recommended!
Not only would you find a Mexican grocery store, but tbey also sell real authentic Mexican food. They sell menudo on weekends and hand made tortillas and pupusas. Try it out I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed!
