Taqueria Iztaccihuatl

Tasty and authentic food. Only hiccup, no liquor license, so no beer.

Great authentic food! A little warm inside, a little unsure of what it was going to be like, but I am SO glad I ate here. All 4 of us had wonderful delicious meals. Delicious! No really, eat there! I eat alot of mexican food in a lot of places and this as good as the best of the best.

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had! They make all of their chips fresh in-​house and they are amazing. I have to be careful not to fill up on those since they are so good I can kill a order of them with the salsa before getting to the main meal I ordered. The staff is awesome and always nice. They’ve definitely earned their 5 star reviews. DEFINITELY go check them out if you are in the area. I just wished they delivered to my apartment.

Fantastic food made fresh with love indeed. I tried the shrimp burrito recommended by other reviewers, it is so delicious. It is huge, shrimp seasoned and cooked to perfection, all the ingredients inside are fresh as well. Kids beef taco was enjoyed by my 8 year old son. Husband loved the chicken and beef enchiladas, teen daughter liked her chicken burrito.
This place is worth it, the only things to be prepared for are the restaurant is quite warm inside, and there was a long wait. But I think that’s just the cooks putting all that love into the food.
I highly recommend!

Great Mexican food! Cute little restaurant, but finding a place to park is a pain on a busy street. Wish they had a better parking location. But over all the food is great with lots of flavor. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed.

Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in Georgia! It is a hole in the wall, and a great find. The chips were homemade and delicious, the guacamole was great also. I got the shrimp quesadilla and asked them to add habanero and it was perfect! The carne asada was great also! Big portions, authentic, and amazingly delicious! We will come back, for sure! Great service as well!

My favorite family oriented place. The food is always fresh and hot and made with Love. My favorite is the shrimp burrito… it’s huge and filled with shrimp, lettuce tomates, rice, Pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese oohhh… and seasoned to perfecrion.
The appetizing fresh home made chips and salsa… Awesome!
Whenever you are in Fairburn swing by… you will feel right at home.
Delicious! !

My friend took me here last week for lunch and it was my second visit but the first time I had the chimichangas. My friend had the shredded beef changas and I, the shredded chicken. We also ordered the chips and jalapeño queso that was to die for. All I have to say is that I could really have standing lunch here every Thursday afternoon. Thanks!

On our way to the beach we needed a quick place for lunch and noticed this restaurant had good reviews and it wasn’t too far from I-​85.
It’s in a really cute neighborhood; nice old small town buildings with a depot across the street. Entering, it was pretty crowded but no waiting. The server (friendly and smiling) gave us lunch special menus with just a few items and some daily specials. There were some «rules» about chips which was understandable when you consider the way some freeloaders will abuse free chips.
My companions ordered chicken and pork chimichangas. I asked for vegetarian choices and the server offered a grilled veggie burrito which sounded good to me. The server brought out chips and some cheese dip we ordered. Seeing the chips; fresh homemade warm tortilla chips, I saw why they have to limit them. They were incredible – so good we paid for another order (cheap at a dollar plus change).
Our entrees came out beautifully prepared; freshly grated Mexican cheese on top of the chimichangas with fresh guacamole (I could see the chef cutting up the avocados). My burrito was beautifully prepared – the tortilla was perfectly toasted and huge. We dug in and everyone loved it. The chef even stopped by to say hello and ask how we liked it since the lunch rush was over. We highly recommend this delightful place!

I live in the area and have tried the other local Mexican places and was disappointed. Finally I Unilocaled good Mexican and this place was highly rated. Finally got to try it out with my friend and we loved it!
The food is authentic and soooo good! Now I see what the rave was about! The chips are amazing! Definitely the best tortilla chips I have ever had in life! So serious lol! Homemade, fresh, and perfect amount of salt! Only downfall with the chips is that you have to pay like $ 1.50 for chip refill and a lot doesn’t come with the first batch but they are extremely tasty. We started with the queso and salsas which were good. The consistency of the queso was a little watery but didn’t take away from the taste. I ordered the Texas fajitas (chicken, steak, and shrimp) which were delicious and perfectly seasoned! My friend had some type of chicken and shrimp dish that came with rice and beans. He said it was very good as well and literally talked about it until the next day! Both portions were a nice size and we had our leftovers for lunch the next day!
Customer service was pretty good! No complaints! However it sucks that they don’t serve alcohol! Who doesn’t enjoy a big margarita with their Mexican food?! Lol. Nonetheless this will definitely be my new Mexican spot! Highly recommend it!

I’m new in town and wanted a good place to eat. You will not be disappointed! Eat here! The food is delicious and the homemade chips are amazing. I love this place, it’s so cute.

Authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is excellent. My favorites are the spinach dip and the burritos.
Above all they are very warming with great customer service!

I am not a big fan of Mexican cuisine however this place is awesome! The service is spectacular and the homemade chips are devine… especially when they are fresh out of the grease. Yesterday i had the shrimp quesadilla and my daughter had the beef burrito she enjoyed it so much we came back today to get another one. Try them you will not be disappointed.

Overall the food is decent and the owner is super friendly. My favorites: the shrimp burrito and the shrimp fajitas. The chips are yummy but it’s probably because of the salt and oil. Only had one sub-​par experience the time I came in to eat versus doing takeout. It was a busy Friday night and they only has one waiter. It took forever. Also, don’t dine in on a hot day since they don’t have A/​C.

Unilocal you didn’t disappoint in this hidden gem. Loved my homemade enchiladas with the salsa verde. The tortilla chips were fried fresh and were crispy and salted just right. The guacamole was delicious too! Can’t wait to try this place again on my next visit. A sweet spot that shouldn’t be missed for some authentic Mexican.

Small and cozy restaurant. Freshly made authentic Mexican fare. The service was amazing. I’ve been to five star restaurants that didn’t come close to the attention to detail exhibited by this fine establishment.

Damn good hole the wall ma and pa kind of joint. Great chips and food, service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday evening with an apparent limited work staff.

Tried this restaurant tonight, after hearing about it on Unilocal!I have been craving authentic Mexican and it’s hard to find in Atlanta, especially on this side of town. SO glad I did! The food was amazing!
The restaurant is in a tiny old-​fashioned strip mall. The inside is exposed brick and nothing fancy, but clean. Don’t let the slightly mismatched furniture detour you, it just ads to the charm! The fake flowers on the table are a cute touch and very «hole-​in-​the-​wall»!
The staff was very friendly and greeted us upon entering. They brought us some chips and salsa, and the chips were AWESOME! They are fresh, homemade, fluffy, crispy, salty, tasty goodness! The salsa is a medium spice and also very tasty. We ordered a small side of guacamole and it was fresh and perfect!
When we received our food (Nachos for me, Gorditas for the hunny) both were nicely sized portions. The nachos were good with plenty of toppings and made from the excellent chips. My hunny raved about the Gorditas, and the perfect wholemade pockets they came in. He said the rice and beans were very good also! He said it was the best Mexican he’d ever ate!
All and all very good food, good service, and a fair price! Will definitely be back soon! So happy to find a good Mexican restaurant close to home! :)

We finally tried this place out and wow, the food is wonderful!!! The only thing keeping it from being five stars is the service. Our waiter did not seem terribly pleased to be there and it was hard work getting him to warm up a bit. He didn’t come around to check on us, refill our chips, etc.
Now, back to the food. Those above mentioned chips? Homemade, fresh, and AWESOME. The salsa was fantastic. Hubby had shredded beef enchiladas which I will definitely be ordering next time, and my carne asada was terrifiic as well, served with fresh, homemade corn tortillas.
The restaurant itself is super charming with an open kitchen that is wonderfully clean.
This is probably the best Mexican food we’ve had in who knows how many years, and we will definitely be back.

This Rest is very good. The Food is Excellent. Place is Clean. The Food is so Different than the Rest of Mexican Rest I have visited. The food is cook while your waiting for it. Nothing have been pre Cook. So keep in mind u must wait for your food to be Cook. It’s all done in your presence.
Outstanding. I will Recommend it Highly.
