    Legit chorizo. Larger burritos than the other location on Buford highway. Delicious and consistent every time!

    Terrible Service!!! Terrible Service!!! This was my second time visiting this location on  Sunday for brunch and the lovely Hispanic cashier/waitress was extremely rude and unhelpful. She has an attitude towards customers and seems annoyed when you ask too many questions about the menu.

    It is very unlikely I will return here. I will look elsewhere for good and delicious Mexican food.

    I'm used to the Buford Hwy location. This location is a lot nicer, and there's a sauce bar too.  

    The tacos are the hubs' and I's first choice. Though they're roughly on the small end, it's double wrapped in a corn tortilla. Get about 3 to 4 tacos; that amount should fill you. Their prices range from $1.99 to $2.50 per taco depending on the meat you're getting.

    The tacos come with onion, cilantro, and green sauce. Some of our favs are the beef tongue and intestine. I have the beef tongue and grilled season pork pictured so you can get an idea of the size -- should have opened up the tacos.

    At the other location, I've had their burrito, and it's quite filling. Their quesadilla is filling too. But, the tacos are the way to go if you want something smaller. It's sort of a sampling of their various meats.

    They have their own parking lot so no worries there. Inside is spacious with plenty of seating options.

    I guess a lot can change after 2 years. I now go this Taco Veloz probably once a month.

    The food is great, even greater when you consider the price. My wife and I can usually get 6 tacos and a drink for under $20. The meats are tender and flavorful. I've had carnitas, pastor, carne asada, cameron, pescado, and even beef tongue. There's a small condiment bar that has some great sauces. I like the green one with a respectable amount of heat. I eat smaller meals nowadays, so 2 is usually going to be enough for me, but you may want a third, or a side of their thick cut chips and queso dip. Sadly I love the deal on tacos so much, I haven't had a chance to explore the rest of their menu.

    While it's not the most glamorous place, it certainly has the hole in the wall charm. I love it that I'm usually the only person not speaking Spanish inside. How's that for "authentic"? (you know, that thing foodies like to chase).

    PRO TIP: You can double dip on cash back by using Visa Local Offers from Uber, and combine with a cash back app called Dosh. It's not a lot, but you should usually get a combined 10% back or so if you link the same card to both. If only Yelp had cashback for this, then you could triple dip!

    This place is a solid 3.5.
    I've had their tacos and carne asada burrito. Some days, the meat is softer while on other days, it is tougher to chew. Flavors have been pretty good so far but I can tell my experience here will range depending on the day.

    I like the speedy service and drive thru option for a quick bite. They have a topping bar for the tacos for you to customize. Plus, they are open late compared to most places in sandy springs.

    Tacos are inexpensive ($2-3) and fairly simply in ingredients. The burritos are a great size for $8-9 and they have options for all meat or adding rice and beans. Service is friendly and to go orders are prepped nicely.
