    Default best mainstream mexican restaurant in Atlanta

    I might have made a similar post in the past, but who knows. I've done sushi and burgers, I prob did Mexican too.


    further towards the north side I love Los Rancheros.

    around the city (Atlanta) i always enjoy Los Loros.


    what do you guys think for mainstream type mexican restaurant, not a hidden shack on buford that has the best guac in town, although you can let me know that too

    I appreciate your input, but i hate that Monterrey's. I went there twice, once had bones in my chicken enchilada (decent size) and other time the cheese dip was nasty.


    El Toro is decent though. Their enchiladas verdes are A+
