An Atlanta staple. You can't really go wrong with Tin Lizzys, it's a fun environment with a big menu that doesn't scream cheap greasy Mexican food. Drink: fall off the house margarita; it's the best Rita for the price considering it has 100 proof tequila as the main ingredient. Tacos: super Greek (think gyro in a tortilla), low country boil (shrimp, chorizo, corn, tots and ranch), fiesta anything (protein, peppers, onions, cheese), and the southern comfort of course (chicken, fried pickles and other goodness). Other Food: the skillets are insanely good, it's serious comfort food coated in queso. The guacamole is fairly good too and the salsa, I just hate the fact that you have to pay for chips and salsa. The wait is usually long and they aren't the best with quoting the wait, but they have a new app that helps. The service is decent and the food is tasty, all in all like I said, it's a staple and an easy good meal.

Situated in Grant Park and across the street from Historic Oakland Cemetery, Tin Lizzy's is a great place to eat after exploring this cute area. Parking wise, there is a small lot in front of the restaurant but it gets crowded so street parking may be your best bet. There are 2 floors, the upper portion being a rooftop/outdoor area. The tables have large umbrellas and there are fans so it's very nice even when it's hot outside. The service was also really great! Hostesses and servers were helpful and very friendly. The manager even came by our table to ask how everything was going. As for drinks, they have decently cheap margaritas. Not bad. Food wise, I was pretty unimpressed. The chips were very good though (fresh, not greasy, with some spice on it) paired with salsa and queso. As for the tacos, they were mediocre to be honest. Not good, but not horrible. I would probably come here again when I'm in the area, but mostly for the convenience/ambiance as opposed to the food.

This used to be my after work spot. Yep, the spot where I'd pull up a chair to the bar and tell the bartender about the drama I witnessed at work. Hey, don't judge me! it's cheaper that a therapist and you leave much happier. Their fish tacos are good so are the tortilla corn soup. Their drinks are average in terms of price but it all depends on what you're drinking.

Best rooftop and $5 house margaritas! We went with the nachos and a pitcher of pomegranate margaritas We were able to customize the nachos - I had the veggie works and added avocado and goat cheese for $1 more - tasted good! The view was great- you can try to nab a seat right along memorial drive and have an awesome view of the cemetery and the downtown skyline Bring your sweater for the chilly evening weather - they light up the rooftop well into the evening My friends order was wrong 3 times and she waited forever for her meal - but our server finally got it right and he in turn adjusted the tab - thank you TL staff for not making us Ask for the adjustment! Can't wait to come back when the sun stays out longer !

This Tin Lizzy's has been one of my favorite go-to restaurants for a few years, and it could continue to be if some changes happen. Having been a regular patron for 4-5 years, I have seen a major downturn in service the last year or two. I go less and less often because of the hassle and poor service lately. Friends and I used to go weekly, take groups for b'days, etc. Not so much anymore. The drink/beer selection seems to have diminished in the last year - that was one reason I used to pick the place. A Mexican style food w/ a broad beer selection was a huge perk. The food menu seems to change more often these days. I always get the same thing so I'm okay w/ that, typically. However, my "same thing" has come out looking different the past few times. I'm a creature of habit: Skillet w/ no onions (allergy), add chicken and a few other items. I've had to send back food w/ onions on only a few occasions, but all of those occasions were in the last year or so. More than once, I've been told I could pick out the onions myself...even though I specified that I couldn't eat them (I typically don't even order dishes that come w/ onions to avoid this) The skillet used to come w/ salsa (which is swapped out for the spicy red b/c of the onion thing) - no salsa the last two times, which means the food is a bit drier. Not sure if it's a menu change or if they've just forgotten it. Last night my waiter brought it out w/ shrimp instead of chicken (and then questioned me when I said I never ordered shrimp). He then asked multiple times (after putting in our orders) what toppings we each had on our skillet/nacho orders. Aside from the wrong meat, mine also was missing a topping or two, no salsa, and just wasn't as good as used to be. I may give the Grant Park location one more try, but soon I think I'd prefer to drive farther out for better service. I miss the Tin Lizzy's from a few years ago!!

Thank you for moving the umbrella and table to accommodate one party leaving the glaring sun to blind me so much so that I could hardly see my food. Thank you for not caring once I brought it to your attention and then attempted to chide us for trying to move our table. It would have made more since if you had moved the other party closer to us. Thank you for saying..."oh, we'll see what we can do", and in turn you did absolutely nothing. To include not refilling anything. But most of all...Thank you for making sure that I definitely never come back, and I promise you that I will do my best to make sure that none of my friends or their friends come either!

This is honestly the worst meal I've eaten in 5 years of living in Atlanta. Our waiter has no idea what's going on, it's loud. Drunk morons screaming at the bar. And on top of all of that, my shrimp skillet was absolute cat shit. Basically a skillet of dry room temperature rice with 5 tiny shrimp on top. Truly terrible.

Great live music but not so loud you can't hear people speak. Fun and attentive wait staff. Chips with seasoning yum ! Chop chop shrimp taco very good as was the spicy Korean bbq taco.

The food here was delish. The atmosphere was chill. The live band was pretty cool. My girl friend and I were on the opposite end of the band at a corner so we didn't get to experience it live, but the speakers right above our table made it seem like we were right next to the band. lol. Her steak quesadilla was delish has she gave me a mini piece. The chicken skillet (not the BBQ one) was very flavorful. It looked plain and tasteless, but it was the total opposite. Usually from past experiences (elsewhere), these skillet types are usually bland and need extra seasoning, but the seasoning was just right. Service was adequate as our waiter made sure we were good. The manager of the location was walking the floor and made a stop by our table. It's nice to know that management actually walks the floor to greet customers versus just sit in the back. Parking is sort of tight. Literally. Park in the neighborhoods directly behind the restaurant.

Love their tacos!! My favorite is probably the one with the fried pickles and goat cheese. Their margaritas are also awesome and are affordable! The only thing I will say is that you have to get there willing to wait--at least on the weekends/evenings as it is a popular place. Their chips and salsa are really good too!!

Horrible service! I ordered a simple taco and water and it didn't come for 2 hours!! not a highlight! others say that the drinks aren't bad. My taco was quite good though it came so late. my family and friends felt split about this expire nice because the food was good but the service was bad.

I realllllllly want to give more stars. As a whole, I love TL. Great value, food, service (for the most part). This location is the worst in terms of order accuracy. The last 3 times I've gone to this location my tacos have come out SUPER wrong. I had to send my order back twice when I was there last month. And I'm ordering items as is, no special requests. Last night I just had to send it back once, thankfully. Server even charged me for the 2 wrong tacos until it was brought to her attention. Saving grace was the live music, he earned this location an extra star.

I came here after hearing much about this place, but was not impressed. The tacos were horrible! I would only come back for their margaritas.

Wow, this is the coolest Tin Lizzy's I've been to. It certainly has the most diverse crowd. Nice. Drinks were decent, tacos were good, chips were stale, and Robert's service was worse than the stale chips. He was one of those stop by, then not come back for about 20 minutes; then, when you try to flag him down like on the Hartsfield runway, he doesn't see you. It was pretty bad. I'll definitely come back, but please believe I will ask to not be seated in Robert's section. Deduct one star for Robert, and one star for the stale chips.

We got a table pretty fast. Order drinks and water. Water came, they took our order, no drinks yet. Food came, no drinks yet. Our water glasses are now empty and the waiter hasn't been to our table yet. We finished dinner, no drinks yet. Then finally there she comes with the margarita pitcher we ordered, at this point we almost didn't want it, we were done eating and just wanted to get out of there. Then she says she will "try" to get something taken off for the pitcher. We got our bill and nothing was taken off. Food was good, but the waitress she was not good and her tip reflected her horrible service.

Very mediocre. The tacos are very generic, nothing too special. Not sure why this place is always packed. I've been here a few times and always have a sub-par experience.

After trying other mexican restaurants (Bar Taco, The Original Taco), I would only recommend if all else fails. Food lacks flavor and the beer was flat. Not a fan, although they do have new menus. The service was cool.

Love the three amigos appetizer and endless options for tacos not just the standard beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. Love the bold flavors! The specialty tacos are a must try! Esp the Korean pork bbq and gyro.

I visit here more often with my classmates after an exam. The staff is very accommodating no matter the size of our party (once it was appox. 25 people) and we get great service. The food is pretty good; very much of what you would expect at a typical Tex Mex spot. I've tried the fish, black bean and the Chop Chop tacos, which have all tasted pretty good. And luckily a side of guac is inexpensive, only 99 cents. The main attraction of this place are their margaritas. I always enjoy an affordable pitcher of their House Margarita, Top of the House or Skinny House margaritas. I would recommend this place for large groups or people wanting affordable Tex Mex food and drinks.

They only get 2 stars because Maya, our server was awesome (although a little slow but they were busy and she had a table of guys that were jerks). I frequently visit this location with my boyfriend and have always had phenomenal experiences up until this visit. I had been bragging on this food and service to my sister for weeks so she finally decided to come and we brought the kids. Well all was well until I bit into my taco and a hair was in my tooth, when I pulled the hair out my tooth the other end was inside the meat, so it clearly wasn't mine. The female manager came and barely apologized and then only gave 20 percent off the bill. It isn't a matter of wanting a free meal because I make very good money and live well. I waited tables for years in college and anytime a hair or anything was in food the entire bill was comped by empathetic and respectful managers, not 20 percent. I felt that was insulting, hell 50 percent would have been better, but she gave a measly 20 percent. For someone to actually put another person's hair in their mouth is absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry to say that I probably won't be back because of the lack of concern and the improper rectification of the issue.

I was with a party of 10 who showed up here at 5pm on a Saturday, thinking "hey! It's early for dinner, the wait shouldn't be too long!" . . . After watching 3 people leave an 8 top table that was promptly taken back apart, then being told "we're not allowed to put tables together", then seeing 3 other people sat at a 6 top with an empty 4 top next to it, and finally being told they are waiting on a big party to leave - who were camped out - almost an hour later, we walked away. Don't ever assume your guests are not aware of how seating at a restaurant works. As a former server and hostess, the two ladies at the stand tonight were not accommodating and did not think enough to make room for 10 out of a 6 and 4 top that was visibly available. That's an hour of our lives we'll never get back, not to mention a guaranteed tip for our server(s) and several hundred in sales for your owner. Use your brains, hostesses, and loose the attitude.

I just love the tacos here. There are so many different options and they are all delicious. I had the Southern Comfort, Chop Chop Shrimp, and Churrasco Steak...all delicious!! The tortilla chips are also awesome...the seasoning totally makes them better than most other chips out there. And they are always super fresh! The location is perfect too. Across from the cemetery so you can overeat and then walk it off! Parking lot could be bigger. About the only complaint.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The waiter was very friendly and although he was busy he still took care of us letting us know he would get right with us. The manager on duty was friendly and came and chatted a little. The staff helped one another and the waiter got me to try some different tacos and I loved them! Great margaritas!

Nobody can touch the Philly cheesesteak taco !!! I'm just saying ..shaved steak drowning in queso sauce. I always enjoy going to this place for casual drinks and tacos. I also love the fried fish taco and the big cast iron skillets full of all kinds of stuff that is pleasing to the tummy. This place is a crowd favorite and an easy place to grab a great meal. The parking lot is complicated but there is usually parking on the street.

Thus was my 2nd time coming here because u had a great experience the first time. This time around was terrible idk what the waitress was doing, but let's just say she had a bad day. Drinks were great. First round of food was cold, but they eventually got it right.

A SATISFYING LUNCH THAT DOESN'T BREAK THE BANK As newbies -- we'd never been here before -- our waitress took the time to review the whole menu, pointing out her favorites and cautioning us about over-sized portions. Our meal was great! $4 margaritas. (On the rocks only. None frozen) A bowl of chicken tortilla soup and a side salad for me, with T. getting a half pulled pork skillet. While my lunch hit the spot, I'm guilty of sneaking forkfuls of my husband's meal. Yeah, yeah, I agree it's odd not to get gratis chips, but if that's what it takes to keep prices low, who cares?! (Since I saw a number of tables with drinks only, I guess the lack of munchies prompts people to order something along with their pitchers.) It was a hot day so we sat in air conditioning, but when weather is conducive I bet it's real pleasant to take advantage of the upstairs patio.

Alisha C.

This was my first time here and I LOVED it! The chips and salsa was probably the best I have had in a long time...they had seasoning on it which was great, I took some home. I ordered the nachos, the three little pigs or something like that which was great. They came out in a tin hence the name...the order was HUGE and could not eat all of it...lost a star because the margarita was blah...other than that I will definitely be back again!

Nice place for social group get together or casual hanging out. The service was very good and fast. The atmosphere is social a lot of talking so there is a noise factor making it difficult to hear the person across from you. So not a ideal date night. They did allow my friend to bring in a cake and offered to cut it for us and everything. I'd take my homegirls there for drinks, nachos and laughs.

Kim B.

My coworkers and I come here often for lunch. The chips are oustanding, I really enjoy the seasoning on them. The salsa's not bad, but the cheese dip is legit. There is a crazy variety of tacos at this place. Cheese steak, buffalo chicken, Korean BBQ... it just goes on and on. I would highly recommend the fried fish tacos! I have always loved the fish tacos at Taqueria del Sol and thought I would never find any that were of the same caliber, but Tin Lizzy's really does them right. The nachos are great too. I really like that I can mix and match different ingredients and build my own. If you go, ask for Kim. She's a great waitress!

Karen C.

Eh, I still don't understand why this place is always packed. Always. I met a girlfriend here after work one Friday. We both had the basil margaritas. It was okay, too sweet for my liking. I had the veggie quesadilla and added black beans, green peppers and onions to it. Not bad. The chips and salsa are always good. I do like the seasoning on the chips. Other than that, this place is nothing special. Unless Im missing something.

I've only been to Tin Lizzy's once but I know after that one time if I was a resident of the area I would be a regular customer. My friend said it was a must go to place during my short trip to Atlanta and she was right. We sat on the deck on top of Tin Lizzy's that overlooks a cemetery...creepy yet cool. We were there during the afternoon but I bet it's even cooler out there at night. While there we both enjoyed a margarita, some fried pickles (yum!) and we split the Southern Comfort taco - chicken, bbq sauce, goat cheese, onions and more fried pickles! Check this place out if you're trying to find somewhere cool, casual and fun.

Jennifer L.

The service was rotten and the food was mediocre. We sat for a long time with empty glasses and were never asked if we wanted another drink. When the entrees were delivered to the table, only one was right, the other was not delivered for 30 minutes. And when we complained to the manager, all he could do was shrug his shoulders and say he was sorry. All in all, it was the worst restaurant experience we've had since moving to Atlanta nine months ago.

I absolutely love this restaurant!! It was the best I've had in a while. The outside doesn't look like much but it was delicious and affordable. I purchased the chicken philly taco and it was amazing also got chips and salsa of course!! Definitely going back soon!

The food is as advertised in all reviews... FANTASTIC! The only caveat is that you should ensure you have plenty of time to kick back because the server we had was incredibly slow! I actually tipped the bus boy for getting my sweet tea.

This place is a bar that sells vaguely Mexican-style food. For example, tacos with friend shrimp and lots of ranch and buffalo sauce. They're entirely honest about serving a kind of American-Tex-Mex fusion food, but be aware that you should not come here expecting tacos like you'd enjoy straight off the street in Mexico City or Los Angeles. In addition to the weird tacos, you have to pay for chips and salsa. I will say that at least the chips are served warm. Hot salsa, though, is not really hot. It's barely mild. I suppose the mild salsa tastes like tomato puree. The best reason to come here is to have some beers on the rooftop at sunset. There's a pleasant view of downtown and the cemetery across the street. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The manager even circulates to check on customers. I suppose it's not the staff's fault that the food menu is a bit ridiculous. Atlantans are sophisticated enough to appreciate real Mexican food if given the opportunity for consumption, as evidenced by the good Mexican food at some more suburban spots in Atlanta. It's a shame that more of the in-town "Mexican" restaurants don't try harder with their food.

I've been here twice now, forgot to post a review the first time around. I would've given it 5 stars as well. Both times Sarah was our server. She is attentive and very easy going. She offered her favorites and pointed out what was great on the menu. She stopped by frequently to check on us. I ordered a house pitcher of Margaritas and the steak Churrasco skillet and my boyfriend ordered the Gyro Mediterranean Skillet. Both turned our fantastic and full of flavor. We had to get a to go box it was a lot of food for a great price. We will be back and ask for Sarah on the patio!

Some co-workers and I came here on a recent Friday for lunch. We knew it would get crowded so we arrived around 11:30. By noon, the restaurant was packed. Also, around noon live music started and was really loud making it hard to hear anyway except the person right beside you. Our table of 8 ordered 2 baskets of chips, salsa and queso. Tin Lizzy's has amazing chips. They are thin and coated with a delicious spice mixture. The queso was good, but a little thick for my liking. I ordered a southern comfort taco as well as a shrimp fajita taco. The southern comfort was a taco contest winner with BBQ chicken, fried pickles, grilled onions and goat cheese and the shrimp fajita taco is pretty self explanatory. I like their tacos a lot. A few people got skillets and a couple got quesadillas. The menu is huge so it is a perfect place to bring a large group. Also state employees get half off at lunch so for our table of 8, the bill was about $45. Parking is a little tricky here. The lot in front fills up quickly and spaces are tight. In fact, as we were leaving we noticed that a lady's car had been backed into as remnants of her tail light were on the ground. There is also parking on the adjacent streets that is probably less risky, but also less abundant. All in all, I think the food and service are good at this Tin Lizzy's, but the blaring music, crazy crowd and tricky parking were a little problematic. They have a rooftop patio with a great view perfect for warmer months that I would recommend checking out.

Did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. First, the service was great. This guy was full of recommendations. He was spot on. The burger was good. But beware, they are small tacos. Not really a burger. So you need to order 2. We sat upstairs. Gorgeous day really helped. The famous Oakland cemetery is right across the street. It was nice and quiet, imagine that. Back to the food. Everything ordered by my group was good. From the burger to the Mongolian bbq to the ranch chicken. First time there and I'll be back. I Recommend.

Not impressed. lousy service, mediocre food. each of our fish tacos had one tiny piece of fish, seriously, one. over 20 minutes to get our waters, one hour wait on food.

Tonight Around 6:45p.m. my family and I arrived at Tin Lizzy's on Memorial drive for dinner. Once we were seated we placed a order for our drinks. After about thirty minutes we notice something was wrong with our service because my youngest son never received his drink and my cup of water had been empty for fifteen minutes. Now by this time my wife went to the bar to order my son's drink again, but by now we are starting wonder what has happened to our food. We have been to Tin Lizzy's plenty of times and we know that it never takes them thirty minutes to bring our food out, so I go to the bar and request to speak to the manager. Once I tell the the bartender why I need to speak with the manager that's when our waitress finally comes back to refill my water and then try to explain to me what has happened. By this time it is 7:45p.m., so my family and I have been waiting for our food for almost an hour. On top of that we haven't seen our waitress in 45 minutes, so when I finally talked to the manager it was 7:53p.m. I explained to him the situation about how we felt neglected and we thought the service was extremely below average. He actually agreed and remembered seeing my water being low when he brought out one of our beverages. At this time he replied that he was personally going to prepare our food and bring it out to us, so I said okay. Once I sat back down it was 8:05p.m. so now my family is disgruntled, my children and wife decided they were ready to go. I went back to the bar to tell the bartender to ring me up and tell the manager don't worry about the food. Believe it or not here comes the manager with our food in his hands, which means our food was just sitting back back there the whole time and no one brought it to us. So what probably happened is the manager seen our food back there and just threw it in the microwave and brought it out to us. I am pretty sure you can't cook 7 tacos and a kids chicken tender plate in one minute.

I love the skillets at Tin Lizzy's! The skillet starts out with a base of rice, peppers and onions, and then you can add on protein, cheese and additional veggies. The one thing that kind of sucks is if you do a lot of the add ons, which are all a la carte, it can get expensive. I also love the chips here. They are dusted with their very own flavored salt. They have actually found a way to make warm tortilla chips even more addictive. Another thing I actually like is that you pay for chips and salsa. Like I mentioned earlier, I find warm tortilla chips totally addictive. I can easily plow through a basket alone. So when I am trying to be "good" it is nice to not have chips automatically coming to the table. They have tons of tacos here too. I have been eating the skillets lately but the buffalo shrimp taco is great! With regard to the service, last night our server had a big table in our section, so for a minute our drinks went dry. He did rally and refill our drinks, clear our plates and even give us to go cups.

Very fun atmosphere with my bestie, great service and the BBQ chichen nachos and fajita shrimp taco were delicious.... I'm not a beer drinker so instead I had the apple cider (referred by our waitress)...A+

My friend brought me here after going on a date here. I've been to the the one in midtown but this is the first time at this location. We went on a Friday early evening, like happy hour time and it was PACKED already! It was about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad considering. Our waitress, Sarah was very attentive and patient as we attempted to make up our minds to choose one (or two or three or four) or the delicious choices. I FINALLY decided on the Buffalo Chicken and black bean quesadilla and a side of veggie rice. While we waited on the food, we snacked on chips and salsa (which was great) and ordered a pitcher of renovated house margaritas. SO good! My friend somehow had enough tolerance to order a house margarita on top of the pitcher we had, she said the renovated was better though. My buffalo chicken quesadilla was SO good and filling! Hopefully, the next time I go, I'll be able to bring myself to order something different because I'm hooked on these!! The manager, Harvey also came over to check on us, which was surprising considering how busy they were. He was very nice and attentive also. I'll definitely be back to this place! Good food, good service, good drinks, just overall good!

I don't think that I'd go four stars based on my one visit, although I would certainly like to visit again and try something different. We ordered chips, salsa, and queso. Crisp, fresh chips. Great salsa, hot and creamy queso. The fried pickles were only $2.99, which is a relative bargain. Unfortunately, $2.99 is about what they're worth. The top layer in the galvanized bucket was great, everything under that was greasy, scarcely battered, and nasty. The spicy ranch dipping sauce was pretty good though. I had a Korean BBQ Pork taco (okay), a Buffalo shrimp taco (mneh), and a Super Greek taco (okay). There was nothing exemplary about any of my choices, other than the price. The meat was sparse and the other fillings were anticlimactic, relative to the buildup of anticipation that I had reading reviews. I'd gauge the marginal value of each taco that I had at about $2.25...$2.50, max. Instead, I spent over $11 for three tacos that would have left me hungry, had I not gorged on chips, queso, and salsa. We parked on a side street and walked a bit, so we didn't have to deal with the morass in Tin Lizzy's parking lot. We didn't have to wait for a table for four, although we saw parties of peeps standing outside for about an hour waiting for tables. This joint needs a three taco deal...or a four taco deal. Something like three for $8 or four for $10. That a la carte crap pissed me off. As I said, I'll likely return to try a skillet of something else, but I'll bitch about the prices next time too, probably.

Different and fun. An interesting take on Mexican food with a southern twist. Fried Pickles are the shit! Worth a trip for sure. Great fricken service, wait staff are so sweet attentive and fun.

I really don't see what the big deal is. We waited 35mins for a table to eat food that would had been equally delicious at Taco Bell. They get 3 stars because our waiter was attentive and the mango margarita was great. I ordered the nachos. Voila!! It was just a big tin bowl of nacho chips. No sauce. Had to order all the ingredients separately. Oh.. And they don't have any nacho cheese. ( this is the part where I change my stars from 3 to 2 ) cos it hurts that much everytime I think about it. Munching on dry nacho chips that is :/

Great Food Not So Good Service...I have been wanting to try this place out for months every since I relocated to ATL! I've heard sooo much about it! Finally got a chance to come here last Sunday! For starters the wait time was approx 50 mins to be seated outside on the rooftop deck but being that it was such a beautiful day I didn't mind! After waiting all that while we were finally seated however it took us to ask where or who our waiter was for someone to finally come and acknowledge us! I understand you are busy but c'mon now at least bring some water! The house margarita in a pitcher was the select drink of choice! For $22 it wasn't bad at all and it's more cheaper than ordering several drinks! We ordered the queso dip with chips for an appetizer however it NEVER came out. The main entrees came out before the requested appetizer! The buffalo chicken skillet was AMAZING!!! If the food wasn't as good as it was I wouldn't even reconsider going back! You have to take a shot somewhere and in this situation it was def the service that lacked! After questioning our waitress about the queso dip she still brought it and comp'd us for it.. Which should've been done anyways! Other than these little run ins I would recommend anybody who wants a nice cheap Mexican lunch! read less

So first, the FOOD HERE IS AMAZING!!!!!! I don't think I've had a better taco than I've had at Tin Lizzy's. The best part of the menu is that they take everyday, comfort foods like fried chicken & fried fish and created AMAZING tacos. What's even better? Tin Lizzy's is INCREDIBLY affordable, with most tacos at $3. I went during National Margarita Day, and had an AMAZING Strawberry Margarita. Now my complaints for this particular location (Memorial Dr) is that parking is AWFUL, and extremely limited, but that's also 90% of the restaurants in Atlanta. The restaurant is also very, very small, so it's not ideal for large groups, but definitely "quaint" for date night or even Girls Night Out. Overall, I will absolutely return to Tin Lizzy's! In fact, I'm dreaming of that Fried Chicken Taco, and Philly Cheese Steak taco NOW! #Yum

Jeehae K.

Been here once before with some friends a year back and decided it was good enough to stop by again. Service was good, I got the pork tacos and fish taco. The pork was excellent and surprisingly filling! Instead of fish, I was accidentally served crispy chicken instead, but I didn't mind too much because it was really good and our server was really nice. Thanks MILES! Last time I came they gave us free chips with a choice of queso, but I guess they don't do that as a service anymore (?) overall I would go for it again

Absolutely love this spot! Best guacamole EVER! Awesome house margaritas too

Cam S.

I've eaten here twice and the ambience is great. It is a trendy place to eat at but beware because you get exactly what you order. The flavor of the food is described in the name and you will taste every bit of what is listed so if you don't particularly like something then don't get it. The tacos are kind of pricey but you do get good flavor packed taste but the portion is a bit small for the price. Parking sucks!! Be able to pay to park or get a ticket by taking chances.

We love the 3 amigos for apps - and the house margs are the best!!! The skillets are classic even for picky eaters. Ask for Jeremy, he will make sure you have everything you need!

Nice place, small but that's okay. I've been here several times with my girls we enjoyed ourselves. But, i think the waitress wants us to leave now (stop rushing us) chill we are hungry.

Suzanne W.

Eh. It's a fun place... But the food wasn't really that good. I didn't finish any of the dishes I ordered... Which but were simple bar food... Wings.. Dip... And I can't remember if I got some kind of burger.. Maybe not. Well, it obviously wasn't memorable enough for me.

Cody G.

Love this place As a group at work, we go to the Crescent Ave location a good bit and love it. First time at the Memorial spot, loved it. I get the Skillet with pulled pork added, such a great meal. Pro tip : You can order gluten free chips (they come in a Tostitos bag) as well as chips without the seasoning, the latter usually come out fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.

No stars for this place what so ever!! My husband said lets try some thing new and i wanted Mexican so i said ok , the place is full so i was like thats a good sign so we ordered chips first the tortillas wasn't that good and you can SMELL the oil in it, then i ordered the side rice it was undercooked and blend my dish was quesidella the chicken tasted horrible as if it was sitting there from yesterday or something you know that chicken taste like it wasn't washed good so i think it will be my first and last time , the one positive is that our food came fast probably because it was pre made any way

Peter H.

I have been to Tin Lizzy's half a dozen times and always had a good time. The food is tasty and some of it (especially the tacos) is pretty affordable. It definitely has a bar feel, so you have to be looking for dim lights, a lot of background noise, etc. In my experience, the waitstaff is very polite and helpful. Go, and you'll have a good time!

Jackie H.

I left TL feeling a little underwhelmed. I had several tacos and the only one that really stood out was the Philly cheese one. The rest were just okay. Also, had a skillet with the rice, cheese, onions, and added shrimp. Again, just okay. The energy here was lacking. It seems like everything was moving in slow motion. No free chips and salsa? HUH? Margaritas were pretty good. No rush to return.

Went on Tuesday for a lunch meeting and called Harvey ahead of time to inform him of my arrival and he had Katie make sure to care of myself and my guest. We decide to sit on the balcony this time since it was such a nice day! The service was great! Katie made sure we had everything we need to make sure our experience was enjoyable! Our Texas Margaritas were made to perfection and our Grilled Shrimp Nachos were hot and fresh to our satisfaction. This establishment is clearly all bout serving there guests top quality product and creating an experience that is highly enjoyable! Harvey and his team have definitely shown me excellent treatment every time I have come in. I highly recommend that if you haven't been and you are in the area to definitely visit Tin Lizzy's. If you are looking for a place to have a nice lunch meeting or simply grab some food and drinks with friends to catch up this is definitely the place to go!

I really love this place. The food is great...especially the queso!!! There are a lot of young professionals here. The music is kinda loud tho---and it's hard to get seated. I come here every time I'm in ATL

Fried Chicken Nachos are great. My favorite bartender had left- she is at a different location. I think I will have to follow her.

Waited a long time for a server, who came up and announced "I'm listening". Watched several different orders delivered to wrong tables. Wanted chips and salsa, told "they ain't free!" Food came quick, one order yummy ( shrimp tacos, BBQ tacos) one average ( salad). Chips were very good. Still waiting on the check.
(2)
Maurice A.

The specialty tacos hit the spot, along with the Beach House margaritas. Maybe not authentic Mexican, but what do you expect in Atlanta. I sat outside in the upstairs patio and the vibe was right. The next time I'm in Atlanta, I can do this spot again.

Nedra W.

Was there last Saturday on a date. It was my first time eating there although it was on my foodie list for a long time. I tried 3 different tacos and enjoyed them all. The margarita pitcher we ordered was good as well. I can't wait to go back!

Robin W.

Very good food, on the noisy side but never minded it was just part of the atmosphere. Chips and 3 amigos dippers were on point.

Travis is truly the best! My friends and I left the Gsu /Gsu game (HAIL SOUTHERN). We were greated warmly, and had amazing service from Travis, D, and the owner! The best time and an amazing night. We frequent this place often and I'm already mapping our next trip.

Christy B.

I entered hopeful and left hangry... I'd been waiting for, literally, years to try Tin Lizzy's after hearing so much hype about the food and margaritas. The first test was margaritas at the bar while waiting for a table, and we were dissapointed by their super sugariness. Pure heartburn. I didn't expect the sports bar-ness of this place that was real in every regard: giant TVs everywhere, the screaming sports bar crowd, and paying for stale chips and salsa (huh?). My opinion is that if "cantina" is part of an establishment's name, complimentary chips and salsa (and some music in Spanish) should be part of the deal, so I kind of feel like it was all a bunch of false advertising. Their tacos looked good across the table, and I wish I had ordered a few for myself because my quesadilla was rather petite. Or maybe I was still hungry from the mental agony of rationed chips and salsa. Bottom line: there was nothing that will compel me to come back. Not when there are so many other legit cantinas in Atlanta.

Love this place!! Great food and friendly staff! One of my favorites is the steak cilantro and chips and salsa!

Christopher J.

Went here for the first time because for years I heard such great things i.e. how good the food was but I had a totally different experience when I visited with my party of six people. I love to cook but I thought that the food was very bland, our server acted like that was the first job he had worked at, we had to constantly send food back because of the taste and appearance, the margarita's seemed as though they were already premixed, and the management was nowhere to be found. Overall my experience here was decent but I would not recommend this place to any of my friends!!!

Torrance U.

This was my first time here, nice atmosphere and vibe when I walked in. Was seated quickly and checked out the menu, I wanted to order a margarita but then I saw the small glasses they came in I changed my mind, my friends didn't want any so I changed my mind about the pitcher because I can't kill a whole pitcher by myself. I can kill more than half of one tho. Lol. Anyway. So after looking over the menu for a few minutes unable to decide what I wanted. I order a grilled shrimp skillet. Should have followed my first thought and ordered a full skillet but I didn't. I know how I like to eat. Got the half skillet and it was very good. So I know the next time. Follow my appetite. Didn't want to order anymore food so I did the logical thing. I ordered some Yuengling to fill me up. Lol.. can't wait to go back with my fellow yelpers!

Josh B.

I have been to other locations and enjoyed them. But this visit was very very unenjoyable, to begin the service was quiet slow taking 10+ min in between visits to the table. We then ordered some drinks, I ordered a Guinness which tasted terrible and watered. And nothing like a Guinness should be like. And my friend ordered a Blue Moon that was straight flat and sored, it came to us with no head. And aft we r saying something about it to waiter he then told me that the Guinness is not good at this location. It then came to pay and I was like I don't want to pay for a bad beer. So he went to talk to the Manger, who not once came to the table to talk to us, and it's not like we didn't see him since his office was close to our table, and then told the waiter to us the beers were fine and we were wrong and made us pay for bad beer we didn't not drink. The chips were also stale and there was a mystery hair in another friend's food. It is apparently possible to mess up draft beer. I'm not saying all Tin Lizzy's are bad, I will not be returning to thus location due to terrible management.

Love Tin Lizzy's Grant Park location. My fave are the nachos with steak! They have an awesome rooftop that you can get a distant view of the city, and it's even better on summer nights. Sometimes they will even have a live singer or band on the roof, which is really cool. It's a chill, laid-back Tex-Mex style restaurant. Really friendly staff, and the food has always been great. Only con, the parking is scarce and it's suuuuuppperr tight, so if you have an SUV or truck, you might want to park on the side streets nearby or MAYBE in the back where there's extra parking. Other than that, that's it!
(5)
Chris B.

This place is great!! From the chips and salsa to the diverse Taco menu. Every time I go it is packed but the wait never exceeds 15 min. The outdoor seating is excellent on a beautiful sunny day or afternoon. If you love twisted taco then you'd Love this place even more. If your traveling from out of town or a resident in the metro area, Tin Lizzys is a must to try! The menu is very reasonable and I haven't found a cantina or mexican restaurant that offers better tasting chips and salsa, as well as there queso dip! If you plan on going for lunch, either take a later lunch or earlier lunch as this place gets packed and the parking is always hard to find a spot, as there are other restaurants close by that share parking spaces.
(5)
sultan w.

I like Tin Lizzys! Even if it's just to chill and have drinks. But I loving coming here for the tacos! They've come up with best tacos! My favorite are Philly cheesesteak, fried chicken, shrimp, and fish tacos! They also have good chips with there very own seasoning! Staff is always friendly. I love this place

Neenee P.

Our service was so bad we both left upset and hungry. My boy and I are in the industry, so are extremely tolerant and huge over tippers. This girl, sat down to take our order, never gave us share plates or napkins for the food her co workers ran, we watched as she went to another table of cute guys four times as our drinks sat empty and the girl who ran our food ultimately refilled us while our server never did a check back. We literally never got napkins or more chips or plates and finally frustrated I asked for the check. She dropped it, then 15minutes later!! Took payment. I left the worst tip I think I've left on 10 years. We usually tip 40-50%this oblivious girl got 7%, only because we figured it would cover her tip out to the functional humans around her. Awful. Won't be back, bad service ruins an experience. Crescent ave. location decent, but this is tex mex average food, we came on a sunny winter day in good moods and left grouchy! I was too shy and over waiting to speak to the manager. Just awful!

Cara K.

This is my favorite Tin Lizzy's location. If the weather is nice, sit upstairs on the patio overlooking Oakland Cemetery. The tortilla chips here are quite addicting, as they contain some type of seasoned salt yumminess. I've never had a bad meal here and my only complaint is that they stopped serving the amazing margarita cupcakes that they used to have available.
(4)
Dee Dee C.

I don't get the hype surrounding this place. Yes, it's got a nice patio. However, the view is of a cemetery. Literally. Smack. Dab. Right. Across. The. Street. I don't know about you, but I don't like to eat my tacos with a side of "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." No thank you, I'm good! Moving on to the food. Eh, it's Atlanta Mexican so I wasn't expecting the food to be off the chain. Which it wasn't. *insert non-shocked face* However, I did expect a lot from the margaritas. While they didn't disappoint, they certainly could have been stronger. Oh, and what's up with these Mexican places WITHOUT complimentary chips & salsa? No, really what in the heck is up with that?! I was all *complete with a Scooby-Doo face*, "We have to pay for the chips n salsa?!" Me no likey! Lastly, the service sucked. Poor girl was sweet, but it was definitely not one of her best days. I can say I came, I ate, I saw, & I'm done with this Tin Lizzy's.
(2)
Jai R.

I have to agree with everyone else, the parking is annoying! Very annoying. But moving along the seating time was fast and drinks were quickly served in semi dirty glasses. Sure the waitress can explain that the glasses are scratched but that doesn't explain greasy ass finger prints everywhere. *digressing* I haven't been to this location since it was Six Feet Under. Yeah, I tend to visit other Tin Lizzy's. Well, the food was decent and the pitcher margarita was good. Mexican American fare can never really be held at a super high standard so the real question is would I return. Yes, decent tacos and overly iced margaritas make for a good time. However, I will still patronize other locations where parking doesn't suck!

Steven G.

Cantina...means bar or saloon. That's not exactly the case here with Tin Lizzy's. They have a huge selection of food. I mean Mexican food. I mean tacos. Yes, huge selection of tacos. And, they have some other items but why bother. TACOS it is! O' yeah, they serve drinks here, too. Cantina indeed! Great selection of on the rocks margaritas and such. I personally had the Skinny Margaritas to watch my figure. None of that overly sweet Sour Mix, just lime juice, Cointreau, Triple Sec, and Tequila. Drinks were strong! Others in our party had the spiked lemonades and other margaritas with no complaints... We had a huge party and got some guff from the hostess about waiting until the full party had arrived...so, we commandeered some tables around the bar after some back and forth with her. We ended up moving all the tables together and it worked out pretty good. Our waitress did a pretty good job of managing 15 people and keeping the checks separate as well, I was impressed! She was extremely nice on the ball. I love good service! Taco selection varied but everything we had was delicious and fresh. I know, the single taco thing is played out but they do it well here, so whatever! Good spot to get liquored up before venturing into Oakland Cemetery for a sober-walk and a gander at the marble mausoleums.

Julee D.

Great place for happy hour. I was here last Friday after work with a friend. There were great specials on the menu including margarita pitchers and special black bean/corn queso dip. Also I enjoyed my favorite taco, the Southern Comfort. The best part of the evening was live acoustical music by a guy named Brandon.
(4)
Brianna B.

I am in Atlanta on business and this restaurant came highly recommended. It did not disappoint! The margaritas were to die for! I ordered a watermelon basil margarita and my colleague had a Thai margarita. We ordered the Three Amigos appetizer, also delicious. The staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend stopping in if you are in the Atlanta area.

Michael O.

Had a BLAST here on Tuesday night! We got here around 7:30pm and didn't leave until after midnight! They have "$2 Tuesdays" with a pretty good menu! We had Cheese Quesadillas, Tacos, Chips and countless shots! JESSICA IS THE BEST WAITRESS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! We'll start coming here more often...it was worth the drive from Kennesaw! The crowd is nice & diverse (No sagging pants or hoodies), the staff is fun and the seating is ample! We'll be back quite often!

Great tacos & yummy menu choices. Parking sucks. The place has always been packed & they really pack you in tight. We've never had to wait very long to get in, but once we were in, the service is a tad on the slow side, though our servers have always been friendly. Music is far too loud for casual conversation. Nice mix of people in the crowd. It's a great once-in-awhile place. Excellent Customer Relations!

Kristen D.

This is the only Tin Lizzys location we like. We have tried Buckhead and Sandy Springs and will pass. Great staff and good food for the price. You have to go at the right time or parking will be an issue. I'm sad that they no longer do trivia. Highly recommend for a casual dining experience. We love eating here and walking it off afterward while meandering around Oakland.
(4)
Steve B.

This is like the Joint (as they would say 10-20 years ago) on a Friday after work heading into the evening. Your best bet is to find parking around the corner, not enough to go around. Gets too crowded and if you can tolerate that -then more power to you. Reservations needed if possible because 30-60 minutes seems to be the average wait when busy. Love the tacos and plenty of those to go around of various flavors and selections. Love the maggies (margaritas). Frozen is the way to go though if you ask me! :) Overall, like Tin Lizzy's. Food, experience, crowd, atmosphere is somewhere between average and above. Update - they have banging strawberry margaritas! Grade: C

Corina B.

I love Tin's! And if you love tacos & margaritas in a casual atmosphere, you'll love it too! Tuesday is the best...they have a $2 -3 menu. Must try the blue or pomegranate margaritas
(4)
Apearl C.

Ehhh The food was good, but the crowded seating and parking annoyed me. Maybe I need to try it on a different night other than Tuesday. I will go back for the food, but did not like parking behind the building that didn't have direct access to Tin Lizzy's!

Patrice J.

Less crowded for a Saturday than the other places. The ability to chill and have conversation without yelling.

Josh M.

Had a work lunch here this week. Great place for groups. Menu is sure to please all who attend, and the food is consistently good. Very casual beer and tacos kind of place, but it sure does it well. Waitress volunteered to write separate checks for all 15 of us, which can sometimes be a hard sell at other places. Great service throughout the meal. This is definitely the place for an afterwork happy hour or before the game meal. It looked like they had a really cool roof deck, which likely has sweeping views of the downtown skyline.

Allyson R.

I came here with a party of 5 after going to the ATL Zoo and I am disappointed I wasted my time. You have to pay for chips, which is not normal at a mexican place. Then, we ordered fried pickles and they were never brought out...or acknowledged at all. The kid's meal corn dog came out and was FROZEN. Then it took about 15 minutes for them to cook it, and they brought it out burning hot. The little boy burnt his fingers when he tried to pick up the stick. We got the bill and we were overcharged for 2 things. Big dislike.

Ambriah B.

This is my favorite location. The food and service are always awesome! One of my top food priorities when I am home! I just wish they would bring back the awesome cupcakes they use to servce ( about 2 years ago). However, I understand the woman who used to bake them could not keep up with the demand. They were awesome! My only complaint would be parking... but I dont think it would be fair to remove a star. Its not their fault they are always busy! Great food and vibe! If the weather is nice try sitting on the balcony.

Cool place. Bartender Lauren was super cool and efficient. Had lunch there with co workers. Didi was Suoer kool and fast with orders. Not a bad place to dorm an hour for lunch. The Korean BBQ tacos is the truth!!!
(5)
Livin S.

Decent spot, Saturdays they have a guy that plays guitar who is pretty good. The bartenders are cool. Ask for Phil or Devin, they are attentive and get your drink orders quickly. The food is OK, not the best and not the worst. All in All a cool place to hang out and grab a drink.

Jane E.

We popped in here after going to an art show at The Jane next door. And I must say, this Tin Lizzy's is just okay. The wait was long 45-1 hr on a Saturday night. I don't think they really cared about trying to seat us until we decided to go in and stand up front (which we did at about 45 minutes... we first killed time thinking about getting a tattoo in the parlor next door). There are two long benches outside to wait on. It looked like they had upstairs seating, but I'm not sure if that's reserved for parties only or something. The food at this one was okay, certain dishes didn't seem as fresh (like the Tin Skillets), but all in all still good. The server was really sweet, really nice... if I remember her name I'll post it. Although the crowd was big and the place was packed, serviced certainly seemed to move faster. I'm thinking the more open floor plan helps them achieve this oppose to Crescent's Ave. long, narrow design. But overall for the long wait and not as good food, I'll have to give a 3, 3.5 at best.

Louise E.

I don't know why I haven't written a review for these guys yet... I eat here all the time! It's the perfect place for quesadillas, cheese dip, and drinks. The tacos are good too, but I feel the better value is in the quesadillas. Also, I just really love quesadillas. This location has an outdoor seating area on the roof, overlooking the Oakland Cemetery, which I enjoy. The restaurant in general is often very crowded and yet I've only had to wait for seating one or two times out of the tens of times I've been in the last several months. The service is generally neither here nor there- I had at least one terrible experience- but overall, it's fine.

Stormtrooper H.

Just slightly prettier versions of El Azteca and they nickle and dime you for everything. $1 for this, $2 for that.. and all of sudden the skillet that we were trying to make into fajitas (because they don't have that on the menu) was $20.. Only reason to go here is to drink and stand on the patio overlooking the cemetery.

I was here on a Saturday evening around 6ish and this place was CROWDED! Service started out great and then got slow, but perhaps it was due to a very busy kitchen. I started with the fried pickles, which are served with spicy ranch. It was the first time Ive had fried pickles and boy was I glad i tried them. So YUMMY! The spicy ranch was perfection. I then had the spicy cilantro steak taco & the santa fe chicken taco. Both had a little spice to it and tons of flavor. The tacos were not too small and not too big, rather they were just right. I wish we had a place like this in the DC area. Id definitely be a regular if I lived in Atlanta.

DJuan L.

My first time visiting Tin Lizzy was a good experience. Although, when I arrived the kitchen was closed. However, they were serving tacos and nachos, which was actually just what I wanted. I went on Margarita Day and they were celebrating w/ $4 Margaritas. The drinks & food were good. It was a pretty cool atmosphere. I could definitely see myself going back there when the kitchen is open or on a late night to get a drink.

Downside: Parking and... everything else is amazing! I absolutely love their skillets! I am not a huge taco person, therefore, I cannot review them, but the skillets are amazing!!!! It is a do it yourself, and I love it with grilled Tilapia, extra avocado, cheese, pico de gallo, no beans, no onions and peppers. Also, don't forget a side of Tator Tots! I don't normally drink margaritas, but theirs are beyond! 12$ for a pitcher! Totally worth it! I like this location better then Buckhead's. It just doesn't have the same kick! Worth the drive and the sucky parking!

This is definitely my favorite of the TIn Lizzys locations. The building gets a lot more light and has a generally more laid back vibe. The margaritas are average (sometimes above) and the cheese is good too. Sometimes this place has a bad live cover singer, so be prepared to talk over him if you sit near the bar. The santa-fe steak or chicken tacos are delicious with a little spice. The buffalo chicken taco is yummy too. Parking can be rough on busy nights - especially weekends. There is additional parking around the corner in the back.

We often go to Tin Lizzy's for lunch, since it's so near our work, but for more than just the close proximity! I have always gotten great customer service and the food is just plain good. ALWAYS. I especially like ordering The Skillet, and regrettably have to get the half size because it's still SO MUCH food! Margaritas are definitely top shelf - not that I would order one at lunch time, BUT I've heard (wink) that they were top shelf ;o)

I went to Tin Lizzy on Saturday. Parking sucks at this location, but that comes with the territory in Atlanta. We were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and informative. I got the "Grant Park" margarita special. Which is the mango strawberry margarita. It was so good. We had the salsa and queso dips. They were both delicious, and the chips were seasoned and freshly prepared. I decided to get tacos. I got one Fajita Shrimp taco and one Santa Fe Steak taco. If you like your food with some spice, then get the Santa Fe Steak taco. I was quite tasty, My shrimp taco was ok. I was disappointed with the lack of shrimp. Overall my first time experience at Tin Lizzy was good. I will good back again to try other menu items.

I have been to a Tin Lizzy's before, but never actually tried the food. I stopped by for lunch today and had a pretty good experience. I wasn't overly wowed by the food that I had, but I can't complain about it, either. We started off with the trio, which was nice since you wouldn't otherwise get any chips to start with. There is definitely enough of that stuff to go around, between two of us we couldn't get through half of any of them -- and we definitely ate a lot of it. I have a big container to bring home...the salsa was good, I loved the queso and the guac is one of the better I've had at a restaurant. I tried three tacos and all were okay, but none were amazing, gotta-have-it-again status. I tried the special taco of the week or whatever (something with grilled shrimp, which was probably my fave), a santa fe steak and the buffalo chicken. The steak one was pretty good, but the buffalo one was nothing special and kind of disappointing since I generally love anything that includes bleu cheese. Overall, for a few bucks, I do really like that you can pick from a huge variety of items. Depending on your mood and budget, I would vouch to say just about everyone could find something they'd want to order. And for $3 a pop on tacos, I will say the ingredients were very fresh and I like how it's all made to order for you. Hence, I can't complain! But I'm not ready to race back anytime soon -- maybe next time, after work, when I can try the margaritas... :)

If you are looking for true Mexican food, this isn't the place to go. I had the burger taco, expecting ground beef in the taco. What I got was a taco with a very over-cooked hamburger patty cut into pieces inside. Margarita and fried pickles were excellent. Atmosphere was loud. Service was just OK, the waitress was nice but didn't offer ask necessary questions (Salt on margarita...Didn't get it but wanted it; also didn't get asked whether I wanted wheat or white tortilla). Had to pay for chips & salsa, salsa seemed to be from a jar, not fresh.

This is actually my favorite Tin Lizzy's location. I think it's smaller than the Midtown location and the space is tight. But this was the first location I ever went to. I had a great time and was introduced to fried pickles. And I don't care what anyone says, fried pickles are great and I love them! I also had the fried fish and philly cheese steak taco. We had a really cool server and it was just a really cool experience!

I came here with an open mind, I swear, as a buddy wanted to celebrate his bday here and watch some football game at the same time. But of course, major let down in the food department and I'm no sports bar expert, but if I was actually coming here to watch a game, I'd be really disappointed by the really small tv's which require superhuman eyesight to actually view anything. Anyway, anyone who knows me knows I only care about food and this food was a let down. I woke up the next day in a salt coma!!! I should not have been surprised as the guacamole I sampled was bathed in it and was overpowered by garlic, too. Also, the queso was just yucky. It was overly thick and glue like in texture, like it had been sitting out for days and the taste sucked out of it. I decided any taco they were going to offer was not worth my investment after the chips and dip debacle. For the people who imbibe, the margaritas were ok, too sweet for me but someone may like that fruity sugar rush somewhere. They were strong though, I will give them that. Service was also spotty-took server 3 reminders to bring water, after she had already brought margaritas:(

We came for a quick dinner before a show at the Georgia Dome and me and my two friends weren't very hungry but after eating two tacos we each had to order more. Go with the recommendations. Shay was our server and she was awesome too. I would love to come back!

Everything was awesome! Beer, chips, guacamole and tacos. Everybody loved it! The fish tacos were the best I've ever had.

Emily K.

I'm knocking them down to 3.5 stars. I've become somewhat of a regular at this location since I moved closer. The service is spotty at best. The last time I was in there, the server wasn't really on the ball. It was a Monday night, so it wasn't like they were swamped. I don't like ice in my sodas. It's a quirk that throws wait staff for a loop sometimes. I always ask for it without ice. Sure enough, there was ice in it. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but when it was combined with her clearly uninterested attitude, I wasn't too pleased. The food is consistent which is why I keep coming back. I love their cheese dip and chips. I probably need a twelve step program for it. I like the variety of tacos and I haven't disliked anything I've tried. The prices are reasonable and I like that they now offer cupcakes as a dessert option. They always have the margarita and then a rotating flavor of the month. I wish the service were better, but at least I can count on the food being good every time.

The wait staff is very friendly. Tuesdys is the best, they have a $2 -3 menu, I think it has a 80's theme too. So the music is on point! LOL Skillets and the nachos are great, throw a margarita in there and it's a party! The only down side, the parking!

I'm impressed. My friend, a Sangria fanatic, suggested we meet here yesterday in lieu of another local place we typically frequent when she insists on drinking Sangrias on Sunday (SOS). Anyway, I arrived a few minutes early and sat at the bar when I was promptly greeted by the bartender, who introduced herself and asked my name before even asking me for my drink order. Seriously?! That was totally cool and instantly lightened my mood, as I had been up early that morning rushing to prepare a presentation for work, and pissy that I had a last minute deadline dumped on me Friday night. Done with all that "fun", I was ready to chill and have a few drinks. This Tin Lizzy's has that relaxed and friendly vibe (far different from all my experiences at their Buckhead location, which felt more like a meat market on the Friday nights I'd go to happy hour with a few coworkers). When my friend arrived, she was also quickly served and had a $4 Sangria in a pint glass. I'm not a fan of the stuff, but she gave them the "thumbs-up" and ordered at least 3. As an aside, I don't particularly care about menu prices because it's never a deal-breaker if I really like the place. But it is refreshing that Tin Lizzy's kept the food AND drink prices mostly cheap (comparatively speaking). Wasn't really hungry, but I decided to order a chicken taco with no expectation that it would be anything special. It just so happened to be pretty damn good, so I look forward to trying some of the other taco choices on future visits. Overall a good first time experience. In addition to the staff being friendly, the other local guests we talked to were equally cool. We had a relaxed good time, nothing crazy. Something about this place has a beachy / Florida-type feel to it that I'm totally down with - the only thing that would've made the experience more relaxed is an ocean across the street. Whatever, I'll settle with a view of the cemetery, nothing's perfect.

Don't go in here expecting it to be a Mexican restaurant, it isn't even close. It's a cool bar that happens to serve southwestern-ish cuisine. Everything I've had on the menu has been great, I definitely recommend the Philly Taco and the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla. Their Buffalo sauce is magnificent, I wish they had wings as well. The staff is very friendly and if you hang out long enough, you will almost certainly be served a free kamikaze.

Beautiful porch, great for drinks, but I've never had amazing food or service at Tin Lizzy's. I am writing this review more as a reminder to myself that I don't like it...and a reminder to the rest of you whose friends attempt to get a big group of people together for lunch and say "Tin Lizzy's!" like it's a place that people go for delicious food and great times and high-fiving. No one goes there except you, drunk friend who shall go unnamed.

Tin Lizzy's Cantina also located in Grant Park adjacent to Ria's Bluebirds. This Mexican restaurant is full of charm and big portions. We shared a half order of the fried jalapenos appetizer. Luckily we ordered a half because there was more than enough in our cute little tin bucket. My co-workers each ordered the nachos. A single order of nachos should really be shared by two people. I went with the buffalo chicken and black bean quesadillas. O.M.G!!!!!!! It was fantastic. This will be a definite after hours return visit for me as I would love to sample a tasty adult beverage with my meal next time.

Eat here (or do take out) at least every other week. Love the tacos and margaritas. Customer service with take out is fantastic. We get a call the day after to make sure our food was good. Our local favorite!

Great place to watch a game or go for food and a little less of a totally restaurant atmosphere. Overall it's a pretty fun place where the food is decent and fairly priced and the drink are cold. Yay!

Having remembered my lunch visit to this place and wanting to come back at night sometime, I brought the hubby here on a cool fall night when we were craving tacos and margaritas. We had a great time on the upstairs patio, thoroughly enjoyed our variety of tacos and especially loved the margaritas. We also tried the tequila lime cupcake for dessert and inhaled it in two bites. +1 star!

Was visiting my bff in ATL, we went to Ria's Bluebird for breakfast (great place by the way) and noticed Tin Lizzys and decided to come back the following day for lunch/dinner. So glad we did!!! This place was wonderful. To start....our waitress was very nice and told us her fav tacos which we loved too! We ordered the chips (best chips EVER!!!), the regular salsa and regular cheese dip. She gave us a warm bag full of chips to take home!!! I saved some for my plane ride home and they were still yummy. I ordered the Santa Fe Taco and a Veggie Taco, but very good. My friend ordered the fried fish taco, also good. I do not even like fish but i took a taste of her taco and liked it. Love the concept of ordering one or two tacos and not an entire meal. Prices were low, food great! Can not wait to visit ATL Tin Lizzy again. Maybe my friend will mail me some chips!

Telin B.

Overpriced, oddly seasoned chips and mediocre salsa. Cheese dip was decent. The fish taco was ok. The fajita steak taco was ok. On the small side. The pomegranat margarita was was good, but not effective, if ya know what I mean. The staff was very friendly, if not TOO attentive. A friend of mine got a to-go order from them and they called her an hour later to see how she liked it. While some folks may find that "good customer service!", I find it obtrusive and annoying. I live nearby and just don't see myself frequenting this place. But if I do, and it's good, I'll give a fair review. For now, it's just "Meh".

okay, so the service.. not the worst, but definitely not memorable.. the decor, completely wack the food, subpar (although im sure this could be attributed to my odd taco choices) all in all. sorry tin lizzys. it was only a one night stand.. at lunch. tex mex... only at nuevo laredo for me.

This Tin Lizzy location is in a transitional neighborhood with marginal parking. Six Feet Under moved out of this location to a nearby spot with MUCH better parking. I usually go for weekday lunch, so this is not as much of a problem as it could be at night. Tin Lizzy offers a variety of proteins (chicken, bacon, steak, barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, . . . ) in a variety of configurations (tacos, salads, the featured skillet with rice, cheese sauce, peppers, tortilla chip strands, . . . ). I usually get the bbq chicken in a full skillet, served in a cast iron frying pan. Quantities are generous, and even my healthy appetite cannot accomodate a regular skillet (half skillets are available) if I eat chips. There used to be a choice of three sauces with chips, skillets, etc, but now there is only red salsa. One would think that with such a well-organized menu, it would not be difficult for skilled chefs to crank out the orders. Apparently, I expect too much - service is very slow, almost too slow for people taking a lunch break from work. The admittedly delicious food would make up for the delay, except that it never comes out hot enough. Also, the chips seem like they came out of a bag and the salsa is overpowering with garlic and something else. Servers seem to turn over a lot, and service suffers as a result. Finally, $12 seems a bit much for chicken bits and rice. I'll be back for the yummy skillets, but I sure wish they'd clean up the rest of their act. Come on a cool spring or fall day for lunch and enjoy the roof when you're not in a hurry and you may love it. Otherwise, you may find it wanting in several respects. UPDATE: My concerns reached the ear of management. They took ownership of my issue and are working hard to turn me from an occasional customer into a loyal advocate. Impressive!

The top shelf margarita bucket is $12 and fantastic. The tacos are delicious, and the fried pickles and fried jalapenos also kick ass (shocking).

Melissa B.

5 stars for the $15 pitchers of house margaritas alone. Incredible value and you can actually taste the tequila. The tacos are great and everything is so customizable(that's a word right?). Plus I always have great service at this location. I usually spend a good hour-2 hours there everytime I go. You can definately order some chips and salsa/margaritas and hang out without feeling pressure to keep ordering or leave. Super friendly.

Summer S.

I'd been craving guacamole for a week straight, so before I even walked into Tin Lizzy's, I knew what I wanted. I also got a taco because I wanted to try more than just their chips & dip and with such low prices I had no reason not to indulge. The guac, queso, and taco were all delicious. The restaurant was packed but they accommodated our table of five immediately, fitting us around a booth meant for four, with a warning us that our server had just seated a huge table so she may not get to us very quickly. I was prepared to have slow and brusque service all night but the waitress could not have been sweeter and more prompt. The live music was good and the TVs had great coverage of the NBC championship series game. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Oh Tin Lizzy's, my go-to margarita joint, my place of infinite taco options...what went wrong?? On a dark and story night my husband and I stumbled into a semi-packed Tin Lizzy's. We were pleasantly surprised that after our estimated 20 minute wait time we were seated in under 5. The many margaritas I inhaled were delicious as were our usual fried pickles...but somewhere in the mix things went terribly wrong. We waited over an hour for our food- which apparently was lost as our server asked if we wanted our check before we had received any entrees. After the wait I was not going to walk out and get some drunk-and-drive through as my husband suggested. Nope. I was going to wait for my taco goodness. Instead I received some tacos which had sat in the warmer, obviously lost in the shuffle. I would say they were lost for a good long time as they were no longer tender and tasty. No. They were stale and less than appealing. I am sorry server. As a former server I know things can go wrong, but this was bad. I don't know whose fault it was or what happened, but it soured my love of Tin Lizzy's.

Good $4.00 margaritas! Ton's of yummy tacos to chose from under $4.00! The salsa, guacamole, queso trio is awesome and the service both times I've been has been rockin'. Glad to see something equally yummy take over six feet under's old spot.

To be completely honest - we only go here once a week for Trivia Night (on Weds), but it is still one of our favorites! I really like the fish tacos, either the spicy or the fried. The cole slaw is surprisingly good, and really the only non-fried vegetable. Margaritas are well made and not weak (and they come in bucket-sized, complete with a small souvenir bucket). Service is great if you sit in the bar area.

i was with a big party and gratuity was added but didnt realized till i signed my credit card statement which i clearly scratched out after i was aware of it. to my surprise i see it for the full amount on my statement online the next couple days. called and talked to the manager (abby) explaining what all had happened and she said that she could clearly see the total amount and said the only way to remove it was to go through corporate. not only was she full of it but also really short with me. thats the last time ill go there for crap food.

Scenario: A "Catch-Up Dinner" with a good friend At 7:30 on a Thursday night, the place wasn't as crazy crowded as I'd worried it might be given that it just opened a week and a half ago and still kinda has that newness to it. The tacos were tasty (I happened to enjoy the veggie taco the most myself). The chips were crispy and seasoned well, but I think we enjoyed the salsa more than the queso. Margaritas were delicious but a little inconsistent, as I enjoyed the second marg much more than the first. The parking situation sucks, but it kinda comes with the territory of that building. The overflow parking is located around the corner off Oakland Ave (?) in a lot in a neighborhood. With no direct access and not a whole lot of lighting, I felt a little anxious being alone hiking up the hill and around the corner to get to the restaurant. I have to give our server Lydia muchos props though for (a) encouraging us to just chill and have a good time without the pressure of trying to push us out the door and (b) letting us know that there'd been some sketchiness going on in the 'hood (a recent mugging) and advising that my friend drive me to the overflow parking and wait to make sure I'd safely gotten squared away. The service was excellent, with the chips, salsa, drinks flowing all night and the employees checking in and making sure that we were having a great time. Overall, an awesome experience and my friend and I will definitely be back.

Went here on a Thursday night and it was full of people (which is good for a restaurant in this aching economy). We were seated right away. Front door staff was friendly, waitress was attentive and helpful. The owner stopped by our table to check on us and asked my son if he was okay. I had several of the soft tacos, the bbq shrimp and the blt. They were both yummy. I also had the tilapia salad which was just okay. The house margarita had kick and the prices were good. This place should do well, they have good food, good prices and good customer service. This might be a regular spot for me.

If you're looking for good food, good drinks, and good old fun this is the place!! I have been to all the Tin Lizzy's but this is by far my favorite one in Grant Park. The service is always great as well as the food. There is live music on weekends in the evenings which gives it a cool vibe. Check it out.

Kristin C.

I've been here twice with my friends now, and both times were excellent! Each waiter I had was attentive to our table despite having to deal with a packed house both nights. The only thing not enjoyable about this place is the somewhat sketchy parking lot around back, but the food makes it well worth the low risk of my car being broken into. Haha. I highly, highly recommend the fish tacos if you like spicy foods. (My best friend and I dream about these things.) I've also had the vegetarian tacos, and those were good too, but not on the same level as the fish ones since they seem a bit bland in comparison. The chips and salsa (and queso and guacamole) are great. They put some magic seasoning on the tortilla chips, and the salsa tastes fresh. Oh, also, this place is cheap, so you can load up on tacos and still walk away with a small bill.

Great spot to get brunch on Sunday with several big screen TV's for viewing football. I would suggest one of their egg skillets such as the delicious Greek skillet. it was really good...I mean what breakfast food isn't good at 1 pm on a Sunday. Service was quick and friendly.

Aaron B.

I loved the tacos; some of the best I've ever had, actually. I had the spicy cilantro carne asada, the fried fish, and the Philly cheesesteak tacos. They each tasted amazing and very distinctive of each other, something you don't always get with Mexican cuisine. Guacamole tasted fresh but wasn't mixed very well and too bland for my taste. Queso was ok, salsa was good. The trio of dips called the three amigos was pricey, though at $13. I would say stick with chips and salsa. I'm just not used to paying so much for dips.

i ate here on tuesday night, 80's night with a dj playing great music and videos, and $2 taco's/beer, great place to go for good taco's, huge selection, service is great, fyi they add %18 gratuity on all checks this particular night, definitely try the chicken philly and the super greek, my two faves

Mandy M.

Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. This place makes me happy. Great margaritas, and the tacos are just out of this world. I love that you can just order a bunch of them and they're reasonably priced so when you're hungry you don't need to order 2 meals. And you should go hungry, cause you'll want to try all their different types. Which is a really cool thing about this place- they don't just do traditional tacos, they play around with different flavors. Also, they have an appetizer which offers 3 different salsas/dipping sauces and all 3 are very tasty.

Jarrod C.

Even though it feels weird eating anything but catfish and coleslaw at the old Six Feet Under space, I was extremely impressed with Tin Lizzy. Hard to think of a better deal on Margaritas anywhere in the area. Make sure and try the "3 Amigos" sampler to get a good mix of guacamole, salsa and cheese dip. I ate 3 of their specialty tacos and my favorite was the buffalo shrimp, but all were delicious. Great atmosphere, great food...you can't go wrong.

I'm really confused about the proliferation of Mexican restaurants in Grant Park, East Atlanta, etc. La Casita, Holy Taco, Blue Frog Cantina, Matador, Mi Barrio, and now Tin Lizzy (and formerly Zocalo and Taqueria Nayarit, plus some places down in Benteen Park like Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Restaurante). Why are there so many? I suppose I should disclose my leanings towards the restaurants I mentioned above, since that might give you a sense of how to read my review. My favorite place used to be Taqueria Nayarit (now Solstice), but I may be biased since some of my students' parents worked here (I was a teacher at Benteen). Nothing has really replaced Nayarit, but I go to La Casita regularly because it's close to my house and I like the food/drinks better than the other places in East Atlanta. I will patronize the other places with the exception of Blue Frog (I just don't like the food there). So this brings me to my review of Tin Lizzy. You'd think that a restaurant would have to be pretty damn good to open in an area with so many similar options. At least that's what I was hoping. I don't know if I was just in a bad mood the night I went, but I absolutely hated Tin Lizzy. I know the restaurant staff were trying to be friendly, but it came off as too in-your-face and not genuine at all. I think six different people asked me how my meal was, and really I would've just preferred my the attention of my waitress and no one else (the waitress was great, btw). I had one house margarita and it was so bad that I didn't even finish it. One of the six people who stopped by asked me if I'd like another one and even offered to give me a free one when I said no, and I still didn't want another one. The food was fine - nothing special but not bad - but overpriced. I didn't look at the menu that carefully and ended up paying like $7 for guacamole and chips. I probably would've given only one star, except that my husband liked his meal and his margarita (prickly pear, I think). I also think I'd give it another shot if I were with friends who wanted to go, and I reserve one-star ratings for places I wouldn't step foot into again.

They don't have frozen margaritas which is the first thing I want when I go to a mexican restaurant. They charge you for chips & salsa. They also want to charge 18% gratuity on take out orders. Not the best mexican spur but the greek is good.

Bunny B.

Based on the reviews from the Buckhead resturant... I could'nt wait to try it! I was excited, but in the end felt it is a step above tourist trap tex mex food. Maybe it was my selections. The server was very much a "Buckhead" type, but nice. The frozen drinks were yummy, but the machine broke before I got another one. Maybe it was an off night....I'll try it again I'm sure.

I went to Tin Lizzys for the first time last night. It was really crowded and we had to wait 25 minutes for a table. I didn't like the fact that the table was so close to the window either but hey...what can you do. We had a great server, really attentive though I've never had a server sit down at the table with you to take your order. He also told us this long confusing story about first timers being made to wear a large sombrero and sing? Whatever....but he was great, always checking back, seeing how we were doing. I got the buffalo shrimp quesadillas which were great! I also got a mango margarita which was really good as well. My bf got the barbecued shrimp (or was it barbecued chicken) quesadillas and a raspberry margarita. The chips and queso were amazing too. I couldn't get over how the cheese stayed warm and cheesy the entire! Lol! All in all it was great, next time I would like to go when its not as crowded.

PJ L.

I went here this Saturday to meet a friend for a quasi-date. I'd never been here or even heard of it before, but I was very surprised. The whole atmosphere is casually cool AND it wasn't loud so we could actually hear one another talk! This place isn't pretending to be some upscale mainstream restaurant. It's good food, good drinks, cool staff. The manager continued to ask my friend and I if we were ok, if we needed anything, how everything was....but not in an invasive or annoying way. I felt like if there was something wrong, he would have fixed it. I will definitely be back for the pickled pear margaritas and chicken nachos!

I went to Tin Lizzy's last week. The food and margaritas were good along with the service. This spot has a great location and a rooftop view of downtown. If you are looking for a good time with reasonable prices, should try Tin Lizzy's.

Emily W.

went here on Saturday for a couple of margaritas and tacos. we got there around 4ish and noticed it was pretty busy at that time which was sort of surprising but good to see. we were seated right away and our waitress came right over. she was extremely friendly introducing herself and asking our names. she also asked if we had ever been to Tin Lizzy's before, we told her nope, first time. she was very helpful in going over the menu which was pretty extensive so i was happy to listen. she recommended some great margaritas (i had the mango on the rocks). then i said we wanted some chips and salsa which she then said she would throw in some queso on her, hey! great! she brought out the chips & salsa and queso that came in a small little metal tub, along with our margaritas. we ordered a few tacos and figured that would be enough food (and it was). steve had 2 tacos which was plenty for him and i had one. we both really liked our tacos and would come back for more. the chips were really good, they are seasoned with different spices which i had never had before. the salsa was pretty good but not as good as the queso. overall our experience was great from the service, to the drinks and then to the food.

Tin Lizzy's is good. I end up being here, well, a lot. Maybe too much. It's actually my boyfriend's favorite casual restaurant to go to - so we end up here anywhere from one to three times a week. One thing for sure is that the service and quality is consistently good. Yes, you have to pay three dollars for the chips and salsa. Although not the standard by other Tex-Mex type restaurants, it's actually fair. I prefer it, because if I want to eat light and healthy than I would rather not have a big bowl of chips tempting me. The salsa is tasty, I love the seasoning on the chips. And they give you a lot! I'm not a huge fan of the tacos. I find tacos in general difficult to eat. I do appreciate that they have whole-wheat shells to help make up for the fact, that well, you are eating a taco after all. For lunch I'll often get the cup of chicken tortilla soup (amazing - love the fresh avocado, lime, and cilantro) and a fish taco. They also have a new "fit menu" - mostly of grilled items. It's not really anything that's not on the menu already, but again I do appreciate the thought of eating healthy. The reason we come here so often is for the skillet. It's amazing, and filling. It either comes as a whole skillet or half. The buffalo chicken is the way to go. It comes with rice, corn, onions, peppers, tasty chicken, and queso. Not a fan of having the salsa come on top of it though - they didn't always have it that way. It's a good dish, and well slightly addictive. The service has always been awesome. Friendly waiters who you can make conversation with. A good place to go meet up with friends, have some drinks, chow down on the chips, and indulge in the skillet!

All right, Tin Sleazies, you won my heart ;) We have gone back a few times since my first review, and ever since then there has been lots of great food offerings, the margaritas are dangerously strong and if you can get a seat on the deck, its pretty much perfect. Love that you can get whole wheat tortillas and grilled fish / shrimp.

My boyfriend & I went to lunch and drinks there this afternoon. I got the "top of the house margarita" was wow!! To eat being from Texas I am picky about my Tex Mex, the shrimp Cobb tacos where great! So from a Texas girl born and raised this is a pretty cool place to have drinks, eat, & talk. Also the service was excellent felt like I knew everyone, that is huge because I just moved here:-)

The pomegranate margaritas are, in fact, as dangerous as everyone says. Don't think you can get away downing the majority of a pitcher on your own and live to tell about it. Well, you'll live, but that'll be after a 2 and a half hour mid-evening nap/pass out and about 3 giant glasses of chugged water. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. The guacamole is, however, divine.

One Friday at about 11:00 a.m. I'm sitting at my desk typing away and it hits me, "Tin Lizzy's Margaritas" I grab my phone and send out a few text messages and the rest of the day goes by in a blur with the thought of cool margaritas, fries and laughs with mi amigas on my brain. This place is usually packed so we get there early to make sure we get our favorite spot. I'm a little disappointed that they don't serve fries here, and more so disappointed that when you order tater tots you get like 4 (it's a tease I tell ya). Now for the margaritas. There aren't enough words to express how much I love these. They are freaking amazing and they bring out my frisky side ;-). I like this place because although it's always crowded there's never any drama, everyone seems to get along (I think we always get the random person at our table chatting it up with us), the band is awesome and seems to cater to us (since we're usually the only ones singing along), I have yet to have a server that isn't attentive to our needs. So if you're ever at Tin Lizzy's on a Friday look for the lady that's WAY too happy, singing, laughing, and picking off of other peoples plates and say Hi!!

Americanized. Wait staff was okay, but slow on most everything. Lunch crowd is treated with the typical "get in get out" attitude. Dinner was okay but nothing memorable about it. Very cafeteria kind of feel. Sorry guys wish I had something better for you. If I every walk back in I might check out there drinks, but I'm not holding my breathe there.

Strike #1 "what... you mean I have to pay for salsa and chips?" "But we're at a mexican resturant??" Strike #2 "So I just paid $3 for salsa/chips, now I gotta pay $3 for each taco I want?" Strike #3 "Why the hell are these tacos so damn small?" "let's get the hell outta here, I'm still hungry and 1/2 way broke. let's go next door to six feet under" I went to this place the first week it opened. Living at the mattress factory, it was very convenient. It really wasn't busy, but obviously no one told the waiter this. B/c he rarely was visible at our table. When he did visit, he graced us with his rudeness and a very big chip on his shoulder. I was so excited to taste their fried fish tacos: Tilapia w/ poblano tartar, pickled jalapenos and crisp lettuce. I have to admit, they were good. Just not good enough for $2.89 each. They should call these mini-tacos. I didn't even know they sold tortilla shells this small! I also had a southwest BLT: Bacon, lettuce, red ripe tomatoes, and chipotle mayo and a fried chicken taco: fried chicken w/ lettuce and honey chipotle sauce Now, I'm a pretty petite girl, but I can eat. But after an order of salsa, fried pickles and 5 tacos, i was still hungry and not impressed by Tin Lizzy's "gourmet" tacos I won't be going back

My friend and I love to have lunch here. $4 margaritas and shrimp nachos keep us coming back. Discovered the patio today too which is a delight in nice weather!

Good place to drink, and the tacos are cheap and tasty. I'm not sure if I like this location as much as the Piedmont Rd. one, but it has been some time since I've been over there. They have gotten skimpy with that powder they put on their chips that make them so amazing though. The last several times I went there was hardly any.

Kristine M.

This place was fantastic! Our server Mandy was top notch - she not only remembered our drinks, she remembered our names. We were just there to get our drink on, but I perused the menu and I'll definitely be back to try out the food. I must mention that I was having too much fun with the jukebox. The more money you put in, the more credits you get. For one credit, you get your song, for two you get it played next. My musical selections did not please everyone (although I'm convinced a lot of people secretly like Europe's The Final Countdown). However, the person who put Depeche Mode to play next played right into my hands. Hahaha.

My sister and I dined at Tin Lizzy's on an uncommonly warm winter day, enjoying the opportunity to sit on the upper-level deck, leaning back in the sun, ogling Oakland Cemetery. We began our lunch with an order of chips and spinach cheese dip. While I was disappointed that Tin Lizzy's doesn't offer diners complimentary chips, I must say these were wonderfully seasoned and soared above and beyond the typical chip. The sis and I both ordered two tacos, the fried fish (tilapia, Poblano tartar, jalapeÃ±os and iceberg lettuce shreds) and the buffalo shrimp (fried shrimp, a so-so sauce, shredded iceberg). The food took forever to arrive--had the tacos been delicious, I wouldn't have been disappointed. In fact, a random waitress wandered around the entire deck, asking if our tacos belonged to each table. Finally, she delivered our food. Anyway, the shrimp taco contained three pieces of shrimp; similarly, the fish taco cradled a scant amount of tilapia. Six Feet Under, just down the street, offers much more phenomenal, substantial tacos. I have to say that I prefer the Buckhead location, since the service is better, and I remember the food being better.

If could give them 6 stars...I totally would! The owner and staff are fantastic!!! I totally got the VIP experience and had a great time! Andy and Mack...you two are the best! It's not very often when you truly experience excellent customer service. Upon arriving, I was told that my party had to wait 30 min for a table, but that we could go to the bar and score a round of drinks on behalf of them! When 30 min passed by and we were still not seated, they offered us a free basket of chips and queso while we wait an additional 10 min! While I was waiting, I was able to meet the managers, owner, marketing manager, bartenders (ask for Zack!), etc... Everyone was very friendly and really made me feel at home. (Oh and thank Mack for trying to auction me off...haha!) The food is really good! My favorites are the queso, black beans and rice, and the half-salad topped with shrimp. Favorite tacos are the buffalo shrimp and the spicy bbq shrimp. The food is fairly priced and equally as tasty. Definitely a much needed establishment for the neighborhood and since its opening last week, I have already been there 5 times...can we say ADDICTED!? :)

It's tough to find a place where you can bring in a group of 12 teenagers and have the staff not totally freak out. This place is great. Even though they don't take reservations, I had given them a heads-up we were coming and they were ready. The food was really good with the menu diverse enough that everyone could find something they would eat. The separate charge for all the sides and such was a bit confusing, but not a deal breaker. Needs more parking!

nachos with flavor + margaritas out the wazoo + different types of tacos = aw yeah tacos yeah!!! do they serve authentic tacos? no. but what they do serve are tacos with flare... at least 15 pieces of flare. margaritas are flavorful and get the job done nicely. bring a date here for something casual and fun. i brought your mom... we sat on the patio.

Mercedes H.

Went here with my mom because she said the food was amazing... I'm starting to realize my mom doesn't know good Mexican... We started off with the queso cheese dip which was thick... I have tasted way better queso dip from other places please don't believe the hype... For my entree I got the steak quesadilla and a steak taco... The steak was awful it looked like pot roast... It wasn't a marinated grilled steak which is what I love when I go to Mexican restaurants... This restaurant failed miserably... Go at your own risk...

Mediocre. We went for trivia night and the tacos were fine. I'd eat them again. Everybody was jammed in due to the crowds and the waitress would dissappear for days on end..... I am not compelled to revisit

Warning: Do NOT come to Tin Lizzy's if you have any sort of a time frame, schedule, or somewhere that you feel you'd like to be in say 1-2 hours. The service is sloooooowww. I have been to Tin Lizzy's twice and I have to say the food is great! For some reason I wasn't expecting much and they really surprised me. Everything we had was good, fresh, and they have a pretty decent range of choices on their menu. We went for nachos to start (which are HUGE ) and then tried an assortment of tacos, grilled fish, buffalo, shrimp, bbq shrimp, and all were very tasty. That said the service is almost comically slow. The first visit, our waiter would disappear for 15-20 minutes at a time, it took about 15 minutes to get our margaritas from the bar a mere 30 feet away, and he even disappeared with our cards to far too long. Luckily we weren't in a rush but there were times when we were left needing something with no waitstaff in sight. The second time we went we waited 10 minutes after being seated, before our waitress even came to the table, no water, no drinks, nothing, just sitting. What was worse was that all the waitstaff was leisurely chatting around the hostess stand while we waited. We had to actually remind someone that we were there. Awful. I am hoping the third time will be a charm, and we'll get both the great food and at least decent service.

I went back for trivia the other night and actually ate dinner here. I ordered a philly cheesesteak taco and a spicy cilantro steak taco and both were AWESOME. The Hornitos bucket margarita is awesome. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is because the waitress gave us a free margarita because it was an extra and it was really not good compared to the hornitos. They must be using some CHEAP ASS tequila in the regular margaritas. Also, the 2 times I've been there, the temperature varies wildly. In one part of the restaurant, you swelter. In another part, you freeze. I guess I'd rather be cold than hot, but I don't really get cold so for me to be cold, it must have been really, really cold in the section we were sitting in.

Tonight was opening night for Tin Lizzy's in Grant Park and I must say that they clearly got the word out! The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived at 6:30 and was only getting busier as we ate. Located in the old Six Feet Under location on Memorial, this is the second Tin Lizzy's location in Atlanta. I admit I've never been to the one in Buckhead but if it's as good as this I may have to try it when I'm close by and need a little taqueria love. We started with the Three Amigo's sampler, which includes the choice of one of three salsas (smoky, fresca, verde), guac, and queso, and we quite enjoyed it. The guac was well spiced and had large avocado chunks in it, which made me happy, and the queso was standard fare (fine by us), but the smoky salsa was a bit of a surprise. It wasn't smoky like No Mas' salsa and perhaps that's what we were expecting, but instead it was salty & smoky rather than sweet & smoky and is a green salsa where we were expecting a red. It was still a good start, if a little bit pricey at $12 for the app. I moved on to have one each of the fried fish, veggie, and grilled steak tacos. All were very good with my favorite definitely being the fried fish (which the menu mentions is their "best seller"). I noticed the beans and rice in the veggie taco were a tad undercooked, but it was opening night and they were hopping so I think that's to be expected. My husband had the philly cheesesteak, southwest chicken club, and santa fe steak tacos and loved them. He says he's going to try the fried fish, but with how much he enjoyed what he tried we'll see when that finally happens! Last, but definitely not least, the staff and service was outstanding. A man who appeared to be running the front of the house accidentally bumped into me on my way in and apologized profusely. He did hit me kind of hard and (sigh) right in some of my lady parts, but it was clearly an accident and I wasn't too worried about it. He stopped by our table several times thanking us for coming in, making sure our meals were satisfactory, and apologizing again. We thought that was very nice, but then he went above and beyond and offered to comp the app, which he more than did when he took our check a few minutes later. Long story short everyone from the people up front, to our server, to the people busing the tables, to that guy (who may have been a manager or owner) were friendly, fast, and more than accommodating. All in all it will be great to have Tin Lizzy's close by, we had a very good experience tonight, and it was exciting to see so many cars (between Tin Lizzy's and Six Feet Under down the road) in the neighborhood at dinner time. We'll definitely be going back and are looking forward to trying them for takeout!

I prefer the Tin Lizzy's on Crescent. Drinks were decent, staff were great (and the host or manager-whatever he is) is hot. But no outdoor area and the music was waaaay too loud.

Tin Lizzy's is great as long as you can get in and sit down. The mirrors in the back always trick me and make me think it's much bigger than it's actual size. (boys take note) The food is very decent priced and out of this world! i love cilantro so anything I get they are sure to pile it on for me. Bloody Mary's here are excellent and always served just the way I like them. (little spice, extra alcohol) Although the parking is sometimes horrendous, I really enjoy coming here whenever i can.

Matt C.

it took me a few visits to come around to liking tin lizzy's. i'm really not a fan of the 'gourmet taco' thing, with ingredients that really just don't belong on a taco. i appreciate an inventive menu as much as the next person, but in my opinion, tacos shouldn't ever have fried chicken or blue cheese dressing on them. but hey, some people really like that kind of thing.. it's just not for me. however, when i first came here, i was told that i 'have to try' some of the stranger sounding a la carte tacos, so i proceeded to try to the majority of the menu over the next several visits, and left pretty unsatisfied (albeit full) each time. finally i found my go-to meal here, and i haven't strayed since: the santa fe steak tacos. they are delicious, and i highly recommend them. fried pickles are a strange appetizer for a mexican-themed place, but are pretty good here, and cheap to boot. their salsa is consistently very good, which i wouldn't expect, and queso blanco/fundido and margaritas are always solid. out of all their locations, i definitely like this one best.

Andrew N.

I was very happy to see that Tin Lizzy's kept much of 6FU's decor... if it worked for them, why not the stannous reptile that made its way to my neck of the woods. The bar is still very spacious, and the staff were extremely friendly. I think 3 of them introduced themselves to me within 30 minutes, and at least a couple remembered my name hours later...something comes to mind ( youtube.com/watch?v=FD8lâ€¦ ). The beer selection was very good as well. With draft options between PBR and Anchor Steam, they should be able to suite all who imbibe. I had two tacos: The fish, and steak. Both were very tender, tasty, and hot..maybe too hot on the steak. Not spicy, but burn your tongue hot. Oh well, it was still extremely good. Its on my way home so I envision myself stopping here often, and will post updates as needed. Welcome to the neighborhood, oh metallic one.

Wallace S.

Tin Lizzy's food may just be the definition of Americanized Tex-Mex. Where else can you get a Gyro Taco? As a Texan, I should be offended, and truthfully, I don't go for the food. Their rooftop is great, though, the place is consistently busy, and the drinks are strong and cheap. That's pretty much all I ask for in a happy hour spot, and Tin Lizzy's delivers in spades.

Tara J.

Tin Lizzy's has the best Tacos, hands down. The santa fe chicken or steak is awesome. The margaritas are AWESOME. and the roof top patio is perfect for a summer day. I love this place. Seriously.

I'm glad that there's now an in-town location! Stopped by last night and had a great time. Same great atmosphere as the Buckhead location, but a lot more space! Danny and Zach were working the bar and were lots of fun. The crowd was great, as was the live music. Not sure of the guys name, but he played a great acoustic guitar set. My chicken skillet was great - glad that it's consistent with the Buckhead location. Can't go wrong with the frozen house margaritas, either. I'm hoping to hit up their Wednesday trivia night in the near future - Tuesday trivia at the Buckhead location was always a blast!

Laura N.

The trio of dips - guacamole, queso, and salsa - very good and fresh. generous portions of each dip. The chips are outstanding and mildly spiced! Fish taco - small and tasty. The fried fish reminded me of Wendy's premium fish sandwich. Half skillet with avocado - about half an avocado with a ton of melted queso cheese over rice, onions, peppers, etc. Very good. The rice was too hard, but cheese-lovers would enjoy this dish. Seating is a bit cramped, but the food is affordably priced and very tasty.
(4)
Eric J.

We ordered the three-dip combo for an appetizer. All the dips were good, the salsa was our favorite. The guacamole was a little lime-y for my taste and the queso was on the salty side. Admittedly, my enthusiasm for the nachos may have decreased significantly after the chips and dip, but I feel like the quality was lacking. The meat was awful, but the toppings were fresh. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Probably won't return.
(2)
Mick D.

Aauuugh! The cupcakes are gone! But the tacos were (as always) good--tasty & fresh. We also had the "Three Amigos:" chips with guac, queso, and salsa. The queso and the salsa are absolute winners, but the guac is missing something, and I can't figure out what. Service today was extremely fast and very friendly, in spite of us having a few late-comers to the table. I'll certainly look forward to my next visit.

Joe R.

Checked out Tin Lizzy's after hearing about it on the radio. Between the Santa Fe & Southern Comfort tacos, my only regret was not ordering a third taco to satisfy my hunger! Don't think I'll get the Southern Comfort again, though. I'll probably try the fried chicken taco next time around....looked good sitting on my wife's plate. LOL! Be sure to try out the sides! The guacamole is smooth and creamy with little chunks of avocado in it (the best!!) and the salsa is smoky from the chipotle. Parking is tight, like others have mentioned, however, there is additional parking off a side street that is less than 1 block away.

Went on a Friday night around 11pm only to find out they do a very limited menu. Chicken and Steak tacos only and some queso and salsa...that's about it. Slightly disappointed but we went ahead and sat down. Out of the blue the waiter arrives with four glasses of unasked for water and then proceeded to tell us there was no more steak for the steak taco's. Okay..........so I ordered the Queso Fundido and one chicken taco. About 10mins later he pops back up to say no can do on the Queso Fundido. At this point I'm thinking am I getting punked? You only offer four things on the late night menu and at 11:00pm you've run out of two of them???? Finally got the chicken taco and queso blanco. The chicken taco reminded me of something from Mcdonalds..lettuce some mystery sauce and chicken cubes. That was it. The chips were to salty and the queso was luke warm. Yea not coming back here anytime soon.

We sat on the balcony overlooking the cemetery. Margaritas were delicious on a hot summer Sunday, and the guac and salsa was yummy. I had 2 tacos (forgot which ones exactly). I wouldn't say they're the most authentic but they were pretty good. Waitress was nice and accommodating when I left my ID at home :P.

Chris T.

Decent food but terrible for groups. We arrived with a group of 7. They told us half the restaurant was rented but they should be able to get us seated within 20 minutes once some tables clear and they can put two four tops together. The next half hour, we watched them seat without even trying to keep a table open. When we asked about the wait time, the hostess finally confessed she had no idea when they could get us in so we left. I think we were their insurance if the big group cancelled. The manager seemed to be aware of the situation, which makes it worse.

I love Tin Lizzy's so much but I was really disappointed that night that two dollar Tuesdays is now defunct, but nonetheless those 4 buck Margaritas hit the spot!! Our waiter was super cool and amazing annnnnnnd that angus burger taco is the truth. Come visit you wont leave disappointed.

Much improved. Expanded margarita choices, vast menu and good quality food for the price. Even the chips and salsa were good. Creative menu choices too. Hated the too loud live music, though.

OK, so I came back again last night and managed to find a table despite the throngs of Braves and GSU Panthers crowding in. They had a limited dinner menu so I tried one chicken and one steak taco. The presentation was simple - meat, lettuce, soft tortilla and an awesome sauce. I liked the chicken taco much better than the steak one, but the real winner was my strawberry cupcake. OMG. IT was the most delicious cupcake I've ever had. It was about the size of an apple - this moist, pink, strawberry cupcake - and was topped with the most satisfying and decadent cream cheese topping I've ever had (think the toaster streudel cream cheese on speed). I tried to eat it with my hands, but hand to give in and use the spoon provided. Ordinarily they are $3 each, but since it was late and they were trying to sell the day's stock, I got it for 2 bones. What a treat! Who knew Tin Lizzy's had such fantastic cupcakes? ****UPDATE**** Tin Lizzy's cupcakes are actually baked by Kelsey Garrett, Owner of Cupcake Love Bakery. She operates out of her house, but you can reach her at cupcakelovebakery@yahoo.â€¦

Im not a big fan of cilantro. I asked to have my meal without. Instead of substituting, the reply I got back was 'theres cilantro on pretty much everything. I had plain bbq chicken tacos, didnt even come with rice. Disgusting. My party enjoyed there meals which is the only reason this gets a 2 star rating, based off this visit anyway.

David Z.

For some reason I'd always thought Tin Lizzy's was like Taco Mac...food being secondary to liquor. But I was hungry after volunteering at a nearby school, and my fellow Hands on Atlanta folks had chosen Tin Lizzy's. The atmosphere was good, with a view of Oakland Cemetery to one side and HD TVs on the other. I ordered three tacos (Super Greek, Southern Comfort, Spicy Tilapia), all of which were delicious. They were 3 bucks apiece, but the portion size and fresh flavor were worth it. I also got to try their famous Tater Tots, which lived up to the hype. Super crispy outside and diced potato inside. I would've given a 5 star rating, but our waitress seemed utterly uninterested in providing cordial service.

I've always been a fan of the tacos here (and, the margaritas, like any normal hot-blooded American), and the new menu items I noticed a couple weeks ago just make me love them that much more. Try the Southern Comfort, or my regular favorite, the Philly Cheesesteak. I stay away from here on Saturday nights because it tends to get chock-full of very young, drunken toolbags around that time, and I'm not a fan of fist-pumping or Bon Jovi (especially not together). However, it is one of my favorite neighborhood haunts. I simply love an evening on the rooftop patio, overlooking Oakland Cemetery with some fundido dip and a Texas margarita.

Gemorial J.

Very cool place to go for good authentic mexican grub and good drinks. The house margarita is good and cheap too. Me and my girl go here quite a bit just to chill, get a bite and a few drinks. Never a let down so far. The crowd is mixed and so is the music. Yeah, I am a fan- Not a place for big groups but cool for 2-5 people.

This is pretty much our default taco place as it's super close to home. I can always count on whatever I order being tasty and arriving at the table quickly. Service is usually pretty good. I'm a big fan of their chips (there's something about the seasoning they use) and their cheese dip is tasty is well. All in all, I'd recommend it if you're looking for quick and tasty Tex Mex in the Grant Park area.

Came here with a group of coworkers for lunch after a company service project. We were all pretty hungry and after having heard a lot about the Tin Lizzy chain, especially how popular the Midtown location was, I was more than ready to eat. However, the food didn't really live up to the expectations of my empty stomach. First off, not a huge fan that there wasn't free chips and salsa service. Chips and salsa are to Mexican restaurants as bread service is to fine dining spots; it's something I've come to expect and you can tell how a restaurant treats their dishes based on what they offer for free. For lunch, I got a cup of the chicken tortilla soup and a half skillet with grilled chicken. The tortilla soup was good, but flavor-wise, nothing really stood out, though they did give a good chunk of avocado on the side. The half skillet was visually appealing - with big pieces of chicken, plenty of tortilla strips, rice, onions, and peppers. First bite into it though, the dish was very dry and bland. I had to ask for a small side of salsa (which I was charged for...) just to add some flavor and moisture. I really couldn't stomach eating more than half the skillet, which resulted in me being just full, not deliciously happy full where I'd want to rub and bet my belly. Despite the food being lackluster, our server was great and handled the individual checks of our party of 15 very well. She also was able to get one of our members his order within the 20 minute window he had before his meeting. Don't think I'd be back to eat, but I'd like to give their Margaritas a shot.

Katie W.

I thought I'd already reviewed this. Weird. Anyway, this is my favorite of all the Tin Lizzy's. It can get very crowded but I've never really experienced too much of a wait here. To be fair, I don't drink their margaritas but they're vodka sodas are quite fine. And, all I've ever had off their extensive menu is the Build Your Own Salad but I love it so I'm not going to change. I actually REALLY love the salads. I've always had good service here and the people are nice. I like it. And, I'm totally craving a salad right now.

Met a friend on the rooftop for a relaxing evening. The atmosphere was delightful and the service was well. I had the house salad, half filled me up! It was a nice choice to wash down the margritas. Happy to have found a new little rooftop place.

Heather B.

Yum yum yum! The margaritas are delicious and I like how you can get all of them in either I just need s drink glass or let's get this party started pitcher. The house pitcher is only $15!! That's crazy and amazing. I guess with the prices being so low is that is how they can get away with charging for chips as salsa but it's okay with me because like I just did the prices are super reasonable and you get a decent amount of food. The guacamole is fantastico and the queso ain't to shabby either. They are always super accommodating with splitting checks and large parties. This is one of my favorite places to down margaritas and throw back a few tacos with a large group of friends or with just the hubby after a long week of work. I will say parking is a bitch!

After I posted my review after my first lackluster experience at Tin Lizzy's, I got an apologetic and very nice PM from one of the co-owners inviting me to come try lunch again on their dime. Other business owners and restaurant managers could definitely learn from Tin Lizzy's in this respect, and I appreciated the owner reaching out to me. Though I decided to pay my own bill, my return visit was indeed better. I'm still not a fan of the food (the carne asada on my salad tasted stewed, not grilled), but our service was truly excellent. Greeted with a smile the moment we walked in, seated promptly, meals came quickly, and there was never a half empty glass. I can understand how this would be such a fun place to come hang out after work; every staff member we came into contact with seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs. The great service combined with the genuine concern of the ownership merit Tin Lizzy's an extra star. And now that I live in the neighborhood, I will definitely return to try those margaritas!

I'm changing my review because my last few visits have been solid. I can't get enough veggie tacos, corn chips and veggie black beans from Tin Lizzy's. And they bring back my change now...

I really like the food... I really do. BUT: I don't like how everything is an additional charge. I asked for tomatoes on my taco and it was $1. Chips and salsa $3. Beans and rice $2. By the time I had my two tacos and a coke, I spent almost $18 on all the up charges. My friend had the nachos and wanted cheese to-go. The lady told her $.25 but then charged her $1 and said "oh, my mistake" The service was pretty bad yesterday. They messed up our checks. I really like the food... but the experience is lacking.

This by far is my favorite location, the staff are friendly and I just like the roof top sitting. The food is always good and drinks are great.

Tin Lizzy's is the kind of Tex-Mex place where I can be charged for chips and salsa and not resent it. That's saying a lot! Their salsa is good, their chips come out warm, and best of all, they're coated in some kind of delicious seasoning. It may suck to pay, but I recommend you order at least chips/salsa/queso. I haven't tried the guac, but I look forward to it. The margaritas here are particularly tasty, and the beer selection is fantastic for a texmex joint. I often end up ordering a dos equis because it just feels right, but it's really nice to be able to get a seasonal terrapin or anchor steam or something equally delicious. All the food I've had has been pretty darn good. Various tacos, nachos, quesadillas - all solid. The tin skillets are a particularly awesome feature of Tin Lizzy's though. It's kinda like all kinds of random tex-mex ingredients all mixed together in ooey-gooey-cheesy deliciousness. Especially delightful with buffalo chicken! A really fun place to eat and hang out, which I totally recommend.

I went in here last summer with my boo. Waiter was absolutely cool, but man ... food not so much. Plus there was a guy playing bad Dave Matthews Band covers on guitar. Eating glass is better than listening to that horribleness. Overall=Crap.

Popping in on a Tuesday night with a party that quickly grew to 20 they just rolled with the punches and our waitress rolled right along. She was awesome! Split the checks, everyone had drinks, even with folks showing up randomly she just asked (very nicely) that we don't change seats because of the split checks and kept right on smiling...thanks Nia!!! They were a packed house, as usual and still everything was really awesome! The Patron Margaritas were amazing as was the queso and the BBQ quesadilla, though I would love to go back and try and mix-and-match salads and skillets...let me know when Joel ;)! The price is right, it's a lot of fun, convenient and they can handle big parties (suggest calling ahead to give them a little notice :) ).

It looks like Six Feet Under. It even has the crowd of SFU. IT IS NOT SFU!! Never go on a Sunday night is my best advise. Having to wait 45 minutes for a table IS NOT my reason for a low score. Waiting 30 minutes on a cold patio for an order of fried pickles is. It's hard to screw up pickles. No complaint there besides the wait. The nachos were huge, but lacked any taste whatsoever. Chips, lettuce, jalapenos and a truck full of queso does not make nachos, nachos. I can make that at home. Tin Lizzy's is a bar that serves a tiny percent of food. The kitchen needs to drink that crazy coffee I had at Pho Bac's to step it up! I will never return. What a shame.

I STILL order the Chop Chop Shrimp taco (the December taco of the month) and plan to order it as long as they let me even though it's no longer on the menu! I highly recommend it. It's grilled shrimp with an asian slaw and pumpkin seeds for extra crunch. My co-workers and I go here at least once a week for the guac and the queso fundido (chorizo)

TK B.

Short review/list: *Queso Blanco: ummm...tastes weird, wtf? You can't normally mess up Queso, but it had a weird taste..like..put your gym sock in your mouth, then eat Queso. Not good, huh? *The Chicken Quesadilla: u can't mess that up at all...it was good. *Santa Fe Chicken Tacos: small, but still good..and cheap. *The Dizzy Lizzy Drink: their drinks are freakin strong, but I had to drive so I only drank one, and I was a bit dizzy. I don't necessarily have to go again, but if I'm in that area and need to have a good drink, I will definitely go.

After a pitcher or few of margaritas everything is always great! Our server was on top of things even dealing with a bunch of rowdy slightly buzzed patrons.The live band playing covers of rap songs and television themes was genius! The crowd was very mixed, laid back, I think I actually prefer this location over the Buckhead location.

Karate Kick! Run! Slide! He's safe! "hic". Roundhouse! Roundhouse! Frozen cranberry margaritas! Whooo! "hic". Where are my ears? Oh crap! "hic" They're on my margarita... er... head! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (falls down) Yeah... so... um... I had a grilled chicken salad and the meat tasted like steak... so can you say grub?! Er... and lets go ahead and follow that up with a... can you say cheap?! I think it was around three bucks for the small chicken salad, which was more then enough! It was packed to the rafters last night and the band kept playing covers of TV theme songs... I didn't take away a star for them being packed (the staff seemed to handle it very well) I took away a star for waking up this morning with the theme of Golden Girls stuck in my head! "hic".

I was so happy when I found out that Tin Lizzy's was opening on Memorial. Now I no longer have to drive to Buckhead to get my margarita fix. The Texas and cranberry frozen margaritas seem to be my fave. I also love their chips - crisp, warm and nicely seasoned. I always order the three amigos as I like the variety of the salsa, queso and guacamole. The tacos and quesadillas that I have tried have been consistently good. The service is great - friendly and efficient. Last time we were here, one of the staff brought someone else's food to our table on a couple of occasions and we said it wasn't ours. Mind you, it was a Friday evening and the place was packed. No big deal, right? Well, he comped us a pitcher of margaritas as an apology. Very cool. Only thing I wish they would have done is changed up the interior from the previous occupant and put their own stamp on it. Oh well, after several pitchers of margaritas, who cares!

This place is always busy! Love the vibe and atmosphere! Salsa and Chips are great, really good Guacamole! My favorite Taco came highly recommended the Philly Cheese-steak Taco! I also like the Cheeseburger Taco with one change that sometimes they accommodate and that is ground meat instead of the steak cubes.

This is one of the hang out spots for the crew. We go here quite often. Tin Lizzy's has a good atmosphere with a nice menu. The food is reasonably priced. It can be very busy on weekend nights so the wait for a table can be pretty long if you have a group. And the House Magarita is only 4 Bucks...all the fuggin time! I have left out of this place feeling great b/c of this many times! They have TVs if you wanna catch the game also. The waiters/waitresses are fairly nice...haven't had bad customer service since i've been there. Parking can be quite a pain tho...parking up front is limited, tight, and just quite irritating at times. You may have to park a ways away sometimes and just walk to this location. And what type of Mexican food place doesn't serve burritos....c'mon Son!!!

Dru M.

I can't believe that I haven't been to this Tin Lizzy's since it was the old Six Feet Under. I'm kicking myself because there's a lot of great stuff going on there. Few things... * Our service was fantastic. We were seated immediately and our server was very attentive. Smiling the entire time and really enjoyed her job. This brings me back to establishments. * Fried jalapenos were ok. Wish they were cut into larger pieces and had a bit more breading. I did enjoy the fried pickles, but if they were sliced a bit thicker, that would have been better. * Tacos are pretty good. They only offer flour and whole wheat tortillas, but I really like the whole wheat. I highly suggest the fiesta chicken and spicy steak cilantro. * Prices are pretty reasonable for the portion size, as well as competitive with the restaurants in the area. * They have a great roof patio. Bonus. * Parking can be a bit tough. Just keep this in mind that you might need to investment a little time in finding a spot. Overall...whether you're looking to grab drinks or lunch/dinner...this is a great place for you!

Tin Lizzy's offers standard, Americanized Mexican cuisine in a casual, upbeat environment. Food: Upon initial glance, the majority of Tin Lizzy's menu is exactly what you would expect from most Mexican restaurants. However, one inherent novelty is that you have the option to customize virtually every menu item to your liking, including nachos, salads, quesadillas, and "tin skillets" (veggie rice, red peppers, onions, pickled jalapenos, and tortilla strips). The custom ingredient options are fairly extensive and include bbq chicken, grilled steak, shrimp, bacon, tilapia, avocado, and guacamole, among others. On my first visit, I opted to start with the nachos topped with bbq chicken and bacon. The portion was sizeable and the ingredients were fresh; however, they were topped with some sort of cajun seasoning, which wasn't mentioned on the menu, that I really didn't care for. For an entree, I ordered three speciality tacos, including the southwest chicken club, southern comfort, and bbq chicken. By far, the standout was the south comfort, which was comprised of grilled chicken, goat cheese, grilled onions, fried pickles, and bbq sauce; the flavors were unique and nicely complemented one another. Service: Our server was polite and incredibly efficient, particularly considering it was a Friday night. As with most casual Mexican restaurants in the area, a runner brought out the food instead of our waiter; nonetheless, the runner was quick to offer drink refills and additional napkins when dropping of the food. Atmosphere: Tin Lizzy's is casual and the clientele is eclectic. However, they frequently have live music on the outdoor patio, which is streamed live inside the restaurant; as such, you may be held subject to some unanticipated, and likely substandard, entertainment throughout your meal. Price: Prices are moderate. Most tacos are between $2.50 and $3.50, while the base price of customizable salads and quesadillas are $6 and $4, respectively. However, it's important to remember that most add-on cheeses and meats cost extra ($1 to $3 each). Other: Unsuspecting diners should note that the chips are not complimentary at Tin Lizzy's. A base order of chips with salsa will cost you $5.99. I found this absolutely bizarre, particularly considering that the chips were by no means exceptional.

I've only been to this Tin Lizzy's once, so this review is mostly a "first impression." As the 2 stars suggest I was not a fan, and neither were the 2 people I dined with during this visit. I think the Buckhead location may be better, but I was not impressed by this one at all. 1) Atmosphere. It was extremely loud inside. There was live music being played at the bar, which was cool, but it forced everyone to talk a little louder than usual and the acoustics inside the restaurant intensified everything to a deafening roar. 2) Food. Our table ordered 4 different tacos from the menu and there wasn't a single one that really impressed anyone. The "Southern Comfort" wasn't as advertised, the "Fajita Chicken" lacked taste, and the "Buffalo Chicken" was nothing more than a tortilla with chicken covered in BBQ sauce. The chips and salsa were surprising good, but at $2.99 they are far from complimentary. 3) Proximity to better food. As Bobbin mentioned, 6 Feet is right next door and they have some of the best fish tacos in town. As I ate my meal I continued to look out the window towards 6 Feet and really regretted my decision to try something new. Oh well, at least now I know were not to go for dinner. Again, this review is based on a single visit so take it for what it is worth. I won't be eating there again but maybe your visit will be better.

This was my first visit, and I found absolutely nothing at all to complain about...had spent the morning photographing Oakland Cemetery and actually had planned on walking across the street to the Bluebird Cafe...but they were packed and had a line out the door...so we went in Tin Lizzies instead. It was quiet, and cool, and our server, Kim, was amazing. She was friendly and helpful...we explained that we had never been before and she explained that everything was ala carte and welcomed us as first-timers. I was swelteringly hot after walking around the cemetery for hours, and I never had to ask for a refill of my tea or water...they just kept it coming. The tea was great, strong and served with lemon wedges. We got the fried pickles as a starter and they were perfectly done, with some kind of creamy, spicy dressing served with them. We asked for samples of several of the salad dressings, since we had originally planned on salads, and they brought them out promptly (the spicy lime dressing was amazing and actually went really well with the fried pickles). Ended up not getting salads after all, ordering the bbq chicken and goat cheese quesadillas instead, which sounded really weird, but I think I was teetering on the edge of heatstroke and wasn't thinking clearly when I ordered. It was huge (I brought half home) and was soooooo good. It was packed with chicken and a really, really good, creamy goat cheese, with a lot of grilled red peppers and onion and a side of bbq sauce that was good and smoky. When we got our bill, they told us that our appetizers were on the house since it was our first visit! A very nice touch!! I kept trying to find something to criticize...but just couldn't! I was surprised since many of the Yelp reviews weren't that great...but we were very pleasantly surprised!

As a Grant Park resident, I was thrilled when this establishment came to the neighborhood. With all the flat screens at the bar, it is a great place to watch a game, eat some tacos, and have a refreshing beverage. The tacos are amazing and with all the different choices offered, no matter your mood or taste you should be able to find one or three to your individual liking. My personal favorites are the Super Greek, the Philly Cheesesteak, the Southwest Chicken Club, and the Burger taco. The tortilla soup is packed with flavor and is a great option on those cooler Atlanta nights. There is also personalized options with either the Tin Skillets or Build your own Salad. Tin Lizzy's has an amazing beer list, along with an extensive drink menu and is equipped with a full bar. It signature drink is the Margarita but be warned that they are strong so be prepared to be walking a little wobbly and fighting gravity if you drink too many. The bartenders and staff are all friendly and introduce themselves to you as soon as you sit down. This helps to make the all around experience at Tin Lizzy's that more pleasurable.

What can i say other than i am a BIG fan!!!! The margaritas are great and the food is awesome. I have been to all 3 locations in atlanta but i prefer this memorial drive location. The staff here is friendlier and the crowd great also. I have tried most of the tacos on the menu and they all are pretty fantastic! This is a great place to take a female and have a few drinks and just chill. Tuesdays are 80's music night and they play videos all night with drink specials.

Carla C.

The summary: *Good stiff margaritas (I liked the texas version best). *Lots of TVs to watch the games. *Really good nachos and tacos (esp. the ones with steak). They used a queso blanco sauce that is really good on the nachos. And that vis saying a lot for me since I usually don't like nachos with cheese sauce. I usually like melted shredded cheese. But this stuff is like liquid cheese gold. *Good guac. Enough said. This is my new favorite casual spot.

Parking is tough but once you get over that the place is fantastic. Really friendly staff and food and beer were great. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had kids with us, sometimes with kids in tow servers aren't too excited to deal with their brand of chaos, but that wasn't the case at all. I'm looking forward to going back with adults only to sample more of their nice selection of beers. Great time.

I don't know. I'm beginning to think that I ate at a different place than everyone else. I went to Tin Lizzy's after sampling some of their fish tacos at the Taste of Atlanta and wasn't exactly jumping up and down when I went to the restaurant. It's a cute little set up - nothing fussy at all and accommodating for singles and groups. To me it appears that they appeal more to the drinking crowd, because I kept hearing how awesome their drinks were. I'm not a drinker, but I went for a repeat performance of the tacos served at the Taste. I have to say that I wasn't that impressed at all. I ordered a skillet and it was lukewarm and a mess. Think taco minus the shell. The fish taco that I so loved wasn't fried, but pan seared and underwhelming. I tasted more of the filling than the fish. In all, it was just ok. I've tasted better at other places.

Not impressed. The service was ok but the food was below average. Has the buffalo shrimp and chicken Cobb tacos. Buffalo shrimp was tangy but no heat at all. Chicken Cobb was not very flavorful. There are much better places in Atlanta for tacos.

I love this place. Plain and simple. I love the nachos, which seem to drizzled with some type of cinnamon/sweet stuff. It's different, but on top of a bucket (literally) of hot chips/nachos, it tastes absolutely amazing. The margaritas are excellent and they are cheap. You can get a number of different flavors. The service is pretty congenial/loose, the owner/manager is clearly all about service and guests as I have seen him go over and beyond to make sure ppl are enjoying their meals and receiving good service from the wait staff. I love how this place has like 15 different types of Tacos that you can get on the cheap- (ie Bbq chicken, Greek etc). I have probably had over 7 of the flavors...pretty much all of them are amazing. I LOVE THIS PLACE. On weekends, I have gone and they do live music. I saw one of the best damn bands I have ever seen at Tin Lizzys. They were doing acoustic music, but covering hip hop songs. It was amazing. Yes, please.

Came here for some Americanized tacos last week; it's always a good go-to for some decent grub. Good margs and decent service, along with one of my favorite patios. We sat on the patio overlooking the cemetery, despite the looming storm clouds, but alas it started pouring buckets and we were forced inside. Staff was very accommodating to move the full patio inside. Only downside was the broski singing acoustic blends of John Mayer and Marvin Gaye. Maybe it was just me, since the bar patrons seemed to enjoy his beat boxing acoustic style... Nevertheless, I'm sure to be back in the next few months.

The nachos are awesome!!! Especially on Tuesdays when a 1/2 plate is only $2!!! Huh????? Yeah, I said it!!!!!! $2 nachos & $2 Miller Lites, now that's my idea of Happy Hour :) For a few bucks extra, add in chicken, shrimp, guac or whatever else suits your fancy and create your own Happy Hour! :)

Drinks good, reasonably Priced. Food is in the middle. Basics, not gourmet or even authentic. Good to chill with friends and enjoy the guac

I stayed away from Tin Lizzy's for awhile because the feedback I heard from various friends was schizophrenic. Some loved it, some said they would never go back and you Yelpers ranged from meh, to hated it to doing the happy dance so fear and uncertainty spawned. Tin Lizzy's was suggested for the location of a date due to the beautiful relationship between gorgeous weather and rooftop decks. I was still a bit hesitant about giving Tin Lizzy's a shot but I caved and thought "Hell, I'll finally be able to Yelp the place" so off we went. We waited for a table at the nice roomy bar downstairs. I felt a bit of deja vu as memories of visits to the old Six Feet Under location came flooding in...I shook that feeling and ordered another beer. With growling stomachs we ordered nachos topped with BBQ chicken, black beans and a crap load of queso. I thought this was an appetizer...so when our server brought them out I almost fell out of my chair. What a HUGE portion! The portion size wasn't really a good thing because the chips got all soggy. We picked off the yummy BBQ chicken toppings, scooped up some soggy chip carnage but ultimately left a mound of mush almost untouched. Next time I'm going to ask for the queso on the side...not that I really need to be eating nachos that often. I did save room for a fish taco ( which I think their menu says is famous...Hmmmm) It was pretty darn yummy but I wish they offered blacked fish as a choice though. I like the fried but it isn't very healthy and I had just eaten lots of soggy chip like things soaking up queso so I was already feeling guilty. All in all, the food was very average. The service and atmosphere on the other hand were D-E-L-I-G-H-T-F-U-L! Our server rocked the house. She was upbeat, fun, attentive, enjoyed our general smart assiness and really made our evening great. The other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves too which culminated into a positive atmosphere. To wrap it up, Tin Lizzy's is a porch weather go-to spot where you can enjoy the weather, have good drinks, and hang with the awesome staff. If you get hungry while you are there and need to nosh...its ok for that too but you probably won't be drawn here by the food alone. I wish Yelp offered seasonal ratings. I'd give this place 4 stars for Spring, Summer and Fall and likely a two in the Winter. Hence this 3 star review.

Jill S.

Stopped in here on a Friday night and it was pretty packed. Parking is not a-plenty in front of the restaurant but there are free lots on the side street. We had to wait about 20min but me and the mbff had lots to chat about so it went by quick. The purpose was to drink and talk, so we started off with a pitcher of the house margarita....yea boi, it was on point and hella potent! We ordered some guac to go with the chips which was kinda dry, and the chips...hmmm, not sure what kind of salt covered them; reminded me of a southwestern rub for meat. I picked over the chips to find some naked ones :). I wasn't a fan of the salsa, chunky but very little flavor. The Veggie taco was really good, the Baja Chicken taco, toooo salty (but take THAT with with a grain of salt b/c I don't cook with much salt)! As far as atmosphere goes, its a full of energy and the music started to get better as the night progressed...or maybe it was b/c PYT was playing and I was getting faded :-) Attentive service as well!

Matt Y.

What they lack in authenticity, they make up for with jalapenos. Alright, how best to review this place? I could review as the California native who was raised on REAL Mexican food since birth, which would be accurate. I lived on Mexican food for the first several years after high school, that's eating it every day and I could easily do it again. Or, I could review the place in the reality it has built for itself, as a Mexican joint in the South. Tough one. All I can say is it wasn't bad. Don't go here and think in any way that this is Mexican, because it isn't even close. Just because you put tortilla strips on something doesn't make it Mexican.And queso (cheese) dip isn't in any way mexican either but white people seem to think it is. Some of my more traveled friends would often say, "don't bother going for Mexican food anywhere in the rest of the world" as a warning, in the event I find myself outside of California and as my temporary asylum in Oregon and my trips to Atlanta have proven, they are right. But it was tasty enough and they had a bar which can make up for the lack of variety. I'd give them 3 stars except I have to rate them based on the fact that they call themselves 'Mexican', which is misleading so 2 it is because it was decent enough not to deserve only one.

Excellent and friendly service but the food was just... not very good. And I like to eat, so I really wanted to like it. Everything was just sooooo salty. I really don't understand why people rave about this place... wait a minute - yes I do. Now that I think about it, everyone who ever raves about this place also talks about DRINKING there. We all know once people get a few drinks in, they'll eat pretty much anything and think it tastes good. Just ask the McDonald's staff on Ponce about Saturday nights at 3am. With any new restaurant, I like to order a bunch of different things so I can really sample the food. What I don't eat, I just box up and take home. My point is, I didn't take anything home, and between two people we ordered 6 different kinds of tacos, salsa, queso, chips, and fried pickles. Boo. I really wanted to like you, Tin Lizzy's! You're in my 'hood!

Tin Lizzy's in Grant Park is superb! Obviously, if you are looking for authentic Mexican go to a Mexican restaurant, but if you are looking for some tasty American-Mexican fusion cuisine they hit the mark. My wife and I started with the Salsa Verde. It was very tasty. The chips also come with a nice seasoning as an added bonus. For the main meal we split three tacos and a half skillet. Our server told us a half skillet would be plenty, and he was right. For the tacos we tried Greek, Fish, and Baja. I probably wouldn't order the Baja again, but the other two were fantastic. I just wasn't crazy about the Baja seasoning, but that is only my opinion. I'm sure others might love it. The skillet was the highlight for me. We ordered the buffalo chicken based on a Yelp review, and the recommendation was right. If you like buffalo chicken the mix with rice, cheese sauce, veggies, and crispy tortilla strips is the way to go. We also tried the margaritas - house, grapefruit, and cranberry. They were all very strong, which is a plus when ordering mixed drinks. The grapefruit stood out (it had also been recommended by our server), but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the selections. Also, a guy that introduced himself as an operating partner gave us the chips and dip on the house since it was our first visit. I will be back here often! The atmosphere was nice, the food was great, the drinks were unique, and the staff was outstanding. It is rare to find such a great combination.

Ehhhhh, I've been here three times and....probably won't make it a fouth. There chips are salty, they have a late night menu but its not much to choose from and their drinks really aren't that strong. Its more of a place to be seen or sit out on the rooftop patio. Dont care for the way they prepare their chicken tacos as they have them cut up in huge chunks and that reminds me of the cafeteria food processed chicken they serve in elementary school or something. The service is hit or miss. Go to check out the patio if you want, but be prepared for a long wait, and typically outside on the benches because the bar stays full, of East Atlanta locals typically.

Erin M.

I definitely need to update this as they have more healthier options (read less things fried and coated in gluteney goodness) now and I found out their tortilla chips are made of corn. So yes, I can eat more there now. I met with the owner (or one of?), who was interested in doing more gluten free options because the crowd in Grant Park seems a lot healthier than the Buckhead crowd. However, I haven't heard back from him - hopefully me saying something here will give him a little extra push. C'mon Andy, I know you can do it! **If you're not on their mailing list - you are definitely missing out! As a note, they will never be 5 stars because I always feel like there's a party going on in here. I want to go and have dinner - not dine with 20 of my rowdiest friends. So we typically get there before 6 so we can get out before the noise level goes from annoying to obnoxious.

I finally tried Tin Lizzy's after the recommendation of many friends. Delicious! The fried chicken taco and hamburger taco are like comfort food goodness wrapped up in a soft tortilla shell- yum! The prices were very reasonable and despite our server having been set 6 times at once, he was very attentive and efficient. Definite recommend!

Angela Y.

Just adding my star back....Spent Friday night here, the service was awesome and as always the margaritas tasty -- Tried the mango margarita for the first time and FELL IN LOVE. I like to add that although I love this place, I've never understood the concept of waiting 45mins (+) for a table here...its not that serious. My 5 stars are based on the things I always get here...steak skillets, the fried cheesecake, great service, drinks with friends and MARGARITAS!!

With my Half-Off Depot gift certificate in-hand, the hubby & I decided to take in some roof top views over a few 'ritas and some tacos on the rooftop of Tin Lizzy's Friday night. We showed up early enough that we were able to snatch one of the last tables up top. We were looking for a super easygoing evening, so when 5 minutes had passed & no server had come by to greet us & take drink orders we weren't too pissed. After 10 minutes, the mood had changed. I was grumpy. I had to practically trip him on his way to the register to even get him to take notice of us & shove our drink order down his throat. He didn't even apologize, he just kept making excuses. I wanted to be like "dude, we're your customers not your boss. Shape up the attitude or ship out. It's 6:30 on a Friday & I'm thirsty!" I know what it's like to be a server & be in the weeds... the feeling is fresh. However, the rule is keep the drinks filled & smile/charm your way through it, or sacrifice the majority of your tip. Either our dude was new, or he's in the wrong industry because he sucked. Aside from the shitty service, the queso dip with the spicy sausage was delicious and the margaritas were cheap & strong. The tacos were decent. I did the bbq shrimp & the baja chicken, both above average. I liked that I could go with the wheat option on the tacos too. Overall the highlight was the atmosphere, followed by the food... If the service hadn't been so horrendous then Tin Lizzy's would've been looking at 4-stars. They should feel lucky I didn't dip to 2. The service was seriously really one of the worst I have ever experienced. I think if I went back & he were my server, I would ask to be reseated. They need to make this kid a dishwasher or show him the door.

There's not a whole lot more that I like about Mexican restaurants and cantinas than "Fall off the House" Margaritas and bottomless chips and salsa. Add trivia to that on Wednesdays. They have tons of tacos to choose from, and its only somewhat bordering on overwhelming. When I have gone, the service has been good, the margaritas even better, and the bathrooms are clean. If you read any of my reviews you might know... I'm not a fan of the nasty nasty that public bathrooms can turn into. *coughDarkHorsecough* I had to walk it out when I was finished with dinner though. Obviously I had eaten too much, like I always do when I'm eating Chinese or Mexican. Lucky for me and my table- our waitress brought us some Tums. And that is awesome. The only thing I don't like about Tin Lizzy's is that parking is a monster...as are the folks hanging out on Memorial. Other than that, I had the Buffalo Shrimp taco (very good) and the Tilapia ( "healthier choice" ) which was also tasty. Unfortunately I might have gorged myself on chips and margaritas too much to fully enjoy it.

Well, jeez. My girlfriend and I just moved to Cabbbagetown from Maine, and we dig it already after just one week. We eat out a lot and look forward to many food adventures around the city. Since we live close to Tin Lizzy's we thought we gotta check it out. It looked kinda crowded one night we drove by so the next day (Sunday) we went to try it out. There was not a single customer inside the place on this frigid Sunday. We chalked it up to the freezing temperatures and the fact that is hard to get up and dressed on such a crappy, cold day. The interior was goofy, 70's, TGIF-style kitsch, with license plates and dusty flea market stuff everywhere. To me, this is not a good sign. I've experienced lots of this kind of decor before, along with the fried cheese sticks and dated cheap beer and flat soft drinks that usually follow. Seems odd that anyone owning a place like this would not make an effort to be relatively modern and hip, and maybe research what other places are doing in town. We sat down, with a cheesy classic rock radio station playing in the background, why not good Latin or Mexican ranchera playing, I don't know. We wanted to order a couple advertised Bloody Mary's - but we didn't realize that in Georgia, it's Sunday and they can't serve alcohol before 11 am. The server asked if we wanted chips and salsa, we did, but holy crap!! I would not have agreed if I had known the salsa costs 3 bucks! What the heck is that? Charging people for banal and bland salsa at a Mexican themed restaurant? Insane and cheap! I was starting to feel really annoyed right off the bat, and we did not even order any food yet. What next, charge us for water? We ordered some skillet breakfast concoction that was mildly amusing and obviously made with a little contempt. 9 bucks for a pan of 4 ingredients mixed together in lukewarm skillet is not high excitement. I'm sorry to be so pessimistic. I'm a professional chef and I don't expect most places to do anything exceptional or special. I like simplicity and I like simple food done well. It's not rocket science. You just gotta like what you do, that's all. Well, this place does not and it seems like they are very tired of what they are doing. Not a very good experience for 35 bones, that's for sure. I am tired of mediocrity and half-assed attempts of places trying to convince us they are unique and worth the time and expense of eating there. So, don't even give these guys the time it takes just to be disappointed and let down. There are too many places that like what they do and are way better. Go there instead.

Roof top bar is an awesome atmosphere on the weekends. Great place for a first date. Margaritas are the showcase here and they have a pretty large selection of beers. They have about 20+ different kinds of tacos and the trick is to go with the wildest sounding ones because those are the ones packed with flavor. Got my hands on a bbq chicken and goat cheese quesadilla one time and it was definitely enjoyable. Come out for the drinks and tacos and stay for the ridiculous hipsters.

I really love Tin Lizzy's - from the delicious and reasonably priced House Margarita's to the perfectly seasoned chips and queso - I don't think I've ever had anything I don't like here! Throw in some gift cards from halfoffdepot and its a great experience! If you haven't tried to greek taco, you should. It's easily my favorite thing on the menu with the buffalo chicken taco a close second! When the weather is nice the roof top patio really ties the whole experience together.

TIn Lizzy's first impression of the place was , it was small and crowded for the large group we had. There was a very long wait for a table. When we were seated, the waitstaff were very attentive and took our orders right away. We had four pitchers of Margarita and two ptchers of Sangria. Most people at my table ordered nachos or tacos, I tried the sizzler which is a skillet ( a half order). Th food was good and I was stuffed off of the half order I had. Most that had the nachos couldn't knock a dent in them ( they could serve two). Really good inexpensive place to have good food and don't forget the drinks.

I think it is very unprofessional and dishonest when a restaurant server adds an additional tip to a credit card bill when you clearly leave a cash tip and write on said check "Cash". I also think it is very dishonest for said restaurant to put the tip charge through without reviewing the signature and the full amount on the receipt. It gets even worse when you call said restaurant REPEATEDLY disputing this charge and each time you receive a flippant answer that still does not equate to giving you your money back. First manager apologizes but never returns my money TWO WEEKS LATER. The second manager promises to call me back and never does and third manager, (filled clearly with BS) asks me to get my bank involved on a dishonest tip charge, really, my bank, what a stupid suggestion. I don't care how good your food is, this is a bunch of bull. If you eat here, take cash, or be ready for insane dishonesty and crookedness on the total amount of your tab. Yes, and managers feel free to comment and remember how I asked you ever so politely to correct this error and you didn't.

This is the definition of a dive. No rhyme or reason to the personalities or demographics the descend on this crappy little bar. BUT, they serve fairly decent food and cold beer late. Sometimes that's better than charming.

An Atlanta staple. You can't really go wrong with Tin Lizzys, it's a fun environment with a big menu that doesn't scream cheap greasy Mexican food. Drink: fall off the house margarita; it's the best Rita for the price considering it has 100 proof tequila as the main ingredient. Tacos: super Greek (think gyro in a tortilla), low country boil (shrimp, chorizo, corn, tots and ranch), fiesta anything (protein, peppers, onions, cheese), and the southern comfort of course (chicken, fried pickles and other goodness). Other Food: the skillets are insanely good, it's serious comfort food coated in queso. The guacamole is fairly good too and the salsa, I just hate the fact that you have to pay for chips and salsa. The wait is usually long and they aren't the best with quoting the wait, but they have a new app that helps. The service is decent and the food is tasty, all in all like I said, it's a staple and an easy good meal.

Situated in Grant Park and across the street from Historic Oakland Cemetery, Tin Lizzy's is a great place to eat after exploring this cute area. Parking wise, there is a small lot in front of the restaurant but it gets crowded so street parking may be your best bet. There are 2 floors, the upper portion being a rooftop/outdoor area. The tables have large umbrellas and there are fans so it's very nice even when it's hot outside. The service was also really great! Hostesses and servers were helpful and very friendly. The manager even came by our table to ask how everything was going. As for drinks, they have decently cheap margaritas. Not bad. Food wise, I was pretty unimpressed. The chips were very good though (fresh, not greasy, with some spice on it) paired with salsa and queso. As for the tacos, they were mediocre to be honest. Not good, but not horrible. I would probably come here again when I'm in the area, but mostly for the convenience/ambiance as opposed to the food.

This used to be my after work spot. Yep, the spot where I'd pull up a chair to the bar and tell the bartender about the drama I witnessed at work. Hey, don't judge me! it's cheaper that a therapist and you leave much happier. Their fish tacos are good so are the tortilla corn soup. Their drinks are average in terms of price but it all depends on what you're drinking.

Kate F.

Best rooftop and $5 house margaritas! We went with the nachos and a pitcher of pomegranate margaritas We were able to customize the nachos - I had the veggie works and added avocado and goat cheese for $1 more - tasted good! The view was great- you can try to nab a seat right along memorial drive and have an awesome view of the cemetery and the downtown skyline Bring your sweater for the chilly evening weather - they light up the rooftop well into the evening My friends order was wrong 3 times and she waited forever for her meal - but our server finally got it right and he in turn adjusted the tab - thank you TL staff for not making us Ask for the adjustment! Can't wait to come back when the sun stays out longer !

This Tin Lizzy's has been one of my favorite go-to restaurants for a few years, and it could continue to be if some changes happen. Having been a regular patron for 4-5 years, I have seen a major downturn in service the last year or two. I go less and less often because of the hassle and poor service lately. Friends and I used to go weekly, take groups for b'days, etc. Not so much anymore. The drink/beer selection seems to have diminished in the last year - that was one reason I used to pick the place. A Mexican style food w/ a broad beer selection was a huge perk. The food menu seems to change more often these days. I always get the same thing so I'm okay w/ that, typically. However, my "same thing" has come out looking different the past few times. I'm a creature of habit: Skillet w/ no onions (allergy), add chicken and a few other items. I've had to send back food w/ onions on only a few occasions, but all of those occasions were in the last year or so. More than once, I've been told I could pick out the onions myself...even though I specified that I couldn't eat them (I typically don't even order dishes that come w/ onions to avoid this) The skillet used to come w/ salsa (which is swapped out for the spicy red b/c of the onion thing) - no salsa the last two times, which means the food is a bit drier. Not sure if it's a menu change or if they've just forgotten it. Last night my waiter brought it out w/ shrimp instead of chicken (and then questioned me when I said I never ordered shrimp). He then asked multiple times (after putting in our orders) what toppings we each had on our skillet/nacho orders. Aside from the wrong meat, mine also was missing a topping or two, no salsa, and just wasn't as good as used to be. I may give the Grant Park location one more try, but soon I think I'd prefer to drive farther out for better service. I miss the Tin Lizzy's from a few years ago!!

Thank you for moving the umbrella and table to accommodate one party leaving the glaring sun to blind me so much so that I could hardly see my food. Thank you for not caring once I brought it to your attention and then attempted to chide us for trying to move our table. It would have made more since if you had moved the other party closer to us. Thank you for saying..."oh, we'll see what we can do", and in turn you did absolutely nothing. To include not refilling anything. But most of all...Thank you for making sure that I definitely never come back, and I promise you that I will do my best to make sure that none of my friends or their friends come either!

This is honestly the worst meal I've eaten in 5 years of living in Atlanta. Our waiter has no idea what's going on, it's loud. Drunk morons screaming at the bar. And on top of all of that, my shrimp skillet was absolute cat shit. Basically a skillet of dry room temperature rice with 5 tiny shrimp on top. Truly terrible.

Andrea M.

The food here was delish. The atmosphere was chill. The live band was pretty cool. My girl friend and I were on the opposite end of the band at a corner so we didn't get to experience it live, but the speakers right above our table made it seem like we were right next to the band. lol. Her steak quesadilla was delish has she gave me a mini piece. The chicken skillet (not the BBQ one) was very flavorful. It looked plain and tasteless, but it was the total opposite. Usually from past experiences (elsewhere), these skillet types are usually bland and need extra seasoning, but the seasoning was just right. Service was adequate as our waiter made sure we were good. The manager of the location was walking the floor and made a stop by our table. It's nice to know that management actually walks the floor to greet customers versus just sit in the back. Parking is sort of tight. Literally. Park in the neighborhoods directly behind the restaurant.

Love their tacos!! My favorite is probably the one with the fried pickles and goat cheese. Their margaritas are also awesome and are affordable! The only thing I will say is that you have to get there willing to wait--at least on the weekends/evenings as it is a popular place. Their chips and salsa are really good too!!

Grace E.

Horrible service! I ordered a simple taco and water and it didn't come for 2 hours!! not a highlight! others say that the drinks aren't bad. My taco was quite good though it came so late. my family and friends felt split about this expire nice because the food was good but the service was bad.

I realllllllly want to give more stars. As a whole, I love TL. Great value, food, service (for the most part). This location is the worst in terms of order accuracy. The last 3 times I've gone to this location my tacos have come out SUPER wrong. I had to send my order back twice when I was there last month. And I'm ordering items as is, no special requests. Last night I just had to send it back once, thankfully. Server even charged me for the 2 wrong tacos until it was brought to her attention. Saving grace was the live music, he earned this location an extra star.

Wow, this is the coolest Tin Lizzy's I've been to. It certainly has the most diverse crowd. Nice. Drinks were decent, tacos were good, chips were stale, and Robert's service was worse than the stale chips. He was one of those stop by, then not come back for about 20 minutes; then, when you try to flag him down like on the Hartsfield runway, he doesn't see you. It was pretty bad. I'll definitely come back, but please believe I will ask to not be seated in Robert's section. Deduct one star for Robert, and one star for the stale chips.

We got a table pretty fast. Order drinks and water. Water came, they took our order, no drinks yet. Food came, no drinks yet. Our water glasses are now empty and the waiter hasn't been to our table yet. We finished dinner, no drinks yet. Then finally there she comes with the margarita pitcher we ordered, at this point we almost didn't want it, we were done eating and just wanted to get out of there. Then she says she will "try" to get something taken off for the pitcher. We got our bill and nothing was taken off. Food was good, but the waitress she was not good and her tip reflected her horrible service.

I visit here more often with my classmates after an exam. The staff is very accommodating no matter the size of our party (once it was appox. 25 people) and we get great service. The food is pretty good; very much of what you would expect at a typical Tex Mex spot. I've tried the fish, black bean and the Chop Chop tacos, which have all tasted pretty good. And luckily a side of guac is inexpensive, only 99 cents. The main attraction of this place are their margaritas. I always enjoy an affordable pitcher of their House Margarita, Top of the House or Skinny House margaritas. I would recommend this place for large groups or people wanting affordable Tex Mex food and drinks.

April W.

They only get 2 stars because Maya, our server was awesome (although a little slow but they were busy and she had a table of guys that were jerks). I frequently visit this location with my boyfriend and have always had phenomenal experiences up until this visit. I had been bragging on this food and service to my sister for weeks so she finally decided to come and we brought the kids. Well all was well until I bit into my taco and a hair was in my tooth, when I pulled the hair out my tooth the other end was inside the meat, so it clearly wasn't mine. The female manager came and barely apologized and then only gave 20 percent off the bill. It isn't a matter of wanting a free meal because I make very good money and live well. I waited tables for years in college and anytime a hair or anything was in food the entire bill was comped by empathetic and respectful managers, not 20 percent. I felt that was insulting, hell 50 percent would have been better, but she gave a measly 20 percent. For someone to actually put another person's hair in their mouth is absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry to say that I probably won't be back because of the lack of concern and the improper rectification of the issue.

I was with a party of 10 who showed up here at 5pm on a Saturday, thinking "hey! It's early for dinner, the wait shouldn't be too long!" . . . After watching 3 people leave an 8 top table that was promptly taken back apart, then being told "we're not allowed to put tables together", then seeing 3 other people sat at a 6 top with an empty 4 top next to it, and finally being told they are waiting on a big party to leave - who were camped out - almost an hour later, we walked away. Don't ever assume your guests are not aware of how seating at a restaurant works. As a former server and hostess, the two ladies at the stand tonight were not accommodating and did not think enough to make room for 10 out of a 6 and 4 top that was visibly available. That's an hour of our lives we'll never get back, not to mention a guaranteed tip for our server(s) and several hundred in sales for your owner. Use your brains, hostesses, and loose the attitude.

Lianne S.

I just love the tacos here. There are so many different options and they are all delicious. I had the Southern Comfort, Chop Chop Shrimp, and Churrasco Steak...all delicious!! The tortilla chips are also awesome...the seasoning totally makes them better than most other chips out there. And they are always super fresh! The location is perfect too. Across from the cemetery so you can overeat and then walk it off! Parking lot could be bigger. About the only complaint.

Shaun S.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The waiter was very friendly and although he was busy he still took care of us letting us know he would get right with us. The manager on duty was friendly and came and chatted a little. The staff helped one another and the waiter got me to try some different tacos and I loved them! Great margaritas!

Jennifer N.

Nobody can touch the Philly cheesesteak taco !!! I'm just saying ..shaved steak drowning in queso sauce. I always enjoy going to this place for casual drinks and tacos. I also love the fried fish taco and the big cast iron skillets full of all kinds of stuff that is pleasing to the tummy. This place is a crowd favorite and an easy place to grab a great meal. The parking lot is complicated but there is usually parking on the street.

Thus was my 2nd time coming here because u had a great experience the first time. This time around was terrible idk what the waitress was doing, but let's just say she had a bad day. Drinks were great. First round of food was cold, but they eventually got it right.

Meredith R.

A SATISFYING LUNCH THAT DOESN'T BREAK THE BANK As newbies -- we'd never been here before -- our waitress took the time to review the whole menu, pointing out her favorites and cautioning us about over-sized portions. Our meal was great! $4 margaritas. (On the rocks only. None frozen) A bowl of chicken tortilla soup and a side salad for me, with T. getting a half pulled pork skillet. While my lunch hit the spot, I'm guilty of sneaking forkfuls of my husband's meal. Yeah, yeah, I agree it's odd not to get gratis chips, but if that's what it takes to keep prices low, who cares?! (Since I saw a number of tables with drinks only, I guess the lack of munchies prompts people to order something along with their pitchers.) It was a hot day so we sat in air conditioning, but when weather is conducive I bet it's real pleasant to take advantage of the upstairs patio.

Alisha C.

This was my first time here and I LOVED it! The chips and salsa was probably the best I have had in a long time...they had seasoning on it which was great, I took some home. I ordered the nachos, the three little pigs or something like that which was great. They came out in a tin hence the name...the order was HUGE and could not eat all of it...lost a star because the margarita was blah...other than that I will definitely be back again!

Aiyana W.

Nice place for social group get together or casual hanging out. The service was very good and fast. The atmosphere is social a lot of talking so there is a noise factor making it difficult to hear the person across from you. So not a ideal date night. They did allow my friend to bring in a cake and offered to cut it for us and everything. I'd take my homegirls there for drinks, nachos and laughs.
(3)
Kim B.

My coworkers and I come here often for lunch. The chips are oustanding, I really enjoy the seasoning on them. The salsa's not bad, but the cheese dip is legit. There is a crazy variety of tacos at this place. Cheese steak, buffalo chicken, Korean BBQ... it just goes on and on. I would highly recommend the fried fish tacos! I have always loved the fish tacos at Taqueria del Sol and thought I would never find any that were of the same caliber, but Tin Lizzy's really does them right. The nachos are great too. I really like that I can mix and match different ingredients and build my own. If you go, ask for Kim. She's a great waitress!

Karen C.

Eh, I still don't understand why this place is always packed. Always. I met a girlfriend here after work one Friday. We both had the basil margaritas. It was okay, too sweet for my liking. I had the veggie quesadilla and added black beans, green peppers and onions to it. Not bad. The chips and salsa are always good. I do like the seasoning on the chips. Other than that, this place is nothing special. Unless Im missing something.

Morgan H.

I've only been to Tin Lizzy's once but I know after that one time if I was a resident of the area I would be a regular customer. My friend said it was a must go to place during my short trip to Atlanta and she was right. We sat on the deck on top of Tin Lizzy's that overlooks a cemetery...creepy yet cool. We were there during the afternoon but I bet it's even cooler out there at night. While there we both enjoyed a margarita, some fried pickles (yum!) and we split the Southern Comfort taco - chicken, bbq sauce, goat cheese, onions and more fried pickles! Check this place out if you're trying to find somewhere cool, casual and fun.

Jennifer L.

The service was rotten and the food was mediocre. We sat for a long time with empty glasses and were never asked if we wanted another drink. When the entrees were delivered to the table, only one was right, the other was not delivered for 30 minutes. And when we complained to the manager, all he could do was shrug his shoulders and say he was sorry. All in all, it was the worst restaurant experience we've had since moving to Atlanta nine months ago.

The food is as advertised in all reviews... FANTASTIC! The only caveat is that you should ensure you have plenty of time to kick back because the server we had was incredibly slow! I actually tipped the bus boy for getting my sweet tea.

Anthony L.

This place is a bar that sells vaguely Mexican-style food. For example, tacos with friend shrimp and lots of ranch and buffalo sauce. They're entirely honest about serving a kind of American-Tex-Mex fusion food, but be aware that you should not come here expecting tacos like you'd enjoy straight off the street in Mexico City or Los Angeles. In addition to the weird tacos, you have to pay for chips and salsa. I will say that at least the chips are served warm. Hot salsa, though, is not really hot. It's barely mild. I suppose the mild salsa tastes like tomato puree. The best reason to come here is to have some beers on the rooftop at sunset. There's a pleasant view of downtown and the cemetery across the street. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The manager even circulates to check on customers. I suppose it's not the staff's fault that the food menu is a bit ridiculous. Atlantans are sophisticated enough to appreciate real Mexican food if given the opportunity for consumption, as evidenced by the good Mexican food at some more suburban spots in Atlanta. It's a shame that more of the in-town "Mexican" restaurants don't try harder with their food.

Lindsey H.

I've been here twice now, forgot to post a review the first time around. I would've given it 5 stars as well. Both times Sarah was our server. She is attentive and very easy going. She offered her favorites and pointed out what was great on the menu. She stopped by frequently to check on us. I ordered a house pitcher of Margaritas and the steak Churrasco skillet and my boyfriend ordered the Gyro Mediterranean Skillet. Both turned our fantastic and full of flavor. We had to get a to go box it was a lot of food for a great price. We will be back and ask for Sarah on the patio!

Some co-workers and I came here on a recent Friday for lunch. We knew it would get crowded so we arrived around 11:30. By noon, the restaurant was packed. Also, around noon live music started and was really loud making it hard to hear anyway except the person right beside you. Our table of 8 ordered 2 baskets of chips, salsa and queso. Tin Lizzy's has amazing chips. They are thin and coated with a delicious spice mixture. The queso was good, but a little thick for my liking. I ordered a southern comfort taco as well as a shrimp fajita taco. The southern comfort was a taco contest winner with BBQ chicken, fried pickles, grilled onions and goat cheese and the shrimp fajita taco is pretty self explanatory. I like their tacos a lot. A few people got skillets and a couple got quesadillas. The menu is huge so it is a perfect place to bring a large group. Also state employees get half off at lunch so for our table of 8, the bill was about $45. Parking is a little tricky here. The lot in front fills up quickly and spaces are tight. In fact, as we were leaving we noticed that a lady's car had been backed into as remnants of her tail light were on the ground. There is also parking on the adjacent streets that is probably less risky, but also less abundant. All in all, I think the food and service are good at this Tin Lizzy's, but the blaring music, crazy crowd and tricky parking were a little problematic. They have a rooftop patio with a great view perfect for warmer months that I would recommend checking out.

Eddie R.

Did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. First, the service was great. This guy was full of recommendations. He was spot on. The burger was good. But beware, they are small tacos. Not really a burger. So you need to order 2. We sat upstairs. Gorgeous day really helped. The famous Oakland cemetery is right across the street. It was nice and quiet, imagine that. Back to the food. Everything ordered by my group was good. From the burger to the Mongolian bbq to the ranch chicken. First time there and I'll be back. I Recommend.

Tonight Around 6:45p.m. my family and I arrived at Tin Lizzy's on Memorial drive for dinner. Once we were seated we placed a order for our drinks. After about thirty minutes we notice something was wrong with our service because my youngest son never received his drink and my cup of water had been empty for fifteen minutes. Now by this time my wife went to the bar to order my son's drink again, but by now we are starting wonder what has happened to our food. We have been to Tin Lizzy's plenty of times and we know that it never takes them thirty minutes to bring our food out, so I go to the bar and request to speak to the manager. Once I tell the the bartender why I need to speak with the manager that's when our waitress finally comes back to refill my water and then try to explain to me what has happened. By this time it is 7:45p.m., so my family and I have been waiting for our food for almost an hour. On top of that we haven't seen our waitress in 45 minutes, so when I finally talked to the manager it was 7:53p.m. I explained to him the situation about how we felt neglected and we thought the service was extremely below average. He actually agreed and remembered seeing my water being low when he brought out one of our beverages. At this time he replied that he was personally going to prepare our food and bring it out to us, so I said okay. Once I sat back down it was 8:05p.m. so now my family is disgruntled, my children and wife decided they were ready to go. I went back to the bar to tell the bartender to ring me up and tell the manager don't worry about the food. Believe it or not here comes the manager with our food in his hands, which means our food was just sitting back back there the whole time and no one brought it to us. So what probably happened is the manager seen our food back there and just threw it in the microwave and brought it out to us. I am pretty sure you can't cook 7 tacos and a kids chicken tender plate in one minute.

I love the skillets at Tin Lizzy's! The skillet starts out with a base of rice, peppers and onions, and then you can add on protein, cheese and additional veggies. The one thing that kind of sucks is if you do a lot of the add ons, which are all a la carte, it can get expensive. I also love the chips here. They are dusted with their very own flavored salt. They have actually found a way to make warm tortilla chips even more addictive. Another thing I actually like is that you pay for chips and salsa. Like I mentioned earlier, I find warm tortilla chips totally addictive. I can easily plow through a basket alone. So when I am trying to be "good" it is nice to not have chips automatically coming to the table. They have tons of tacos here too. I have been eating the skillets lately but the buffalo shrimp taco is great! With regard to the service, last night our server had a big table in our section, so for a minute our drinks went dry. He did rally and refill our drinks, clear our plates and even give us to go cups.

Very fun atmosphere with my bestie, great service and the BBQ chichen nachos and fajita shrimp taco were delicious.... I'm not a beer drinker so instead I had the apple cider (referred by our waitress)...A+

My friend brought me here after going on a date here. I've been to the the one in midtown but this is the first time at this location. We went on a Friday early evening, like happy hour time and it was PACKED already! It was about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad considering. Our waitress, Sarah was very attentive and patient as we attempted to make up our minds to choose one (or two or three or four) or the delicious choices. I FINALLY decided on the Buffalo Chicken and black bean quesadilla and a side of veggie rice. While we waited on the food, we snacked on chips and salsa (which was great) and ordered a pitcher of renovated house margaritas. SO good! My friend somehow had enough tolerance to order a house margarita on top of the pitcher we had, she said the renovated was better though. My buffalo chicken quesadilla was SO good and filling! Hopefully, the next time I go, I'll be able to bring myself to order something different because I'm hooked on these!! The manager, Harvey also came over to check on us, which was surprising considering how busy they were. He was very nice and attentive also. I'll definitely be back to this place! Good food, good service, good drinks, just overall good!

I don't think that I'd go four stars based on my one visit, although I would certainly like to visit again and try something different. We ordered chips, salsa, and queso. Crisp, fresh chips. Great salsa, hot and creamy queso. The fried pickles were only $2.99, which is a relative bargain. Unfortunately, $2.99 is about what they're worth. The top layer in the galvanized bucket was great, everything under that was greasy, scarcely battered, and nasty. The spicy ranch dipping sauce was pretty good though. I had a Korean BBQ Pork taco (okay), a Buffalo shrimp taco (mneh), and a Super Greek taco (okay). There was nothing exemplary about any of my choices, other than the price. The meat was sparse and the other fillings were anticlimactic, relative to the buildup of anticipation that I had reading reviews. I'd gauge the marginal value of each taco that I had at about $2.25...$2.50, max. Instead, I spent over $11 for three tacos that would have left me hungry, had I not gorged on chips, queso, and salsa. We parked on a side street and walked a bit, so we didn't have to deal with the morass in Tin Lizzy's parking lot. We didn't have to wait for a table for four, although we saw parties of peeps standing outside for about an hour waiting for tables. This joint needs a three taco deal...or a four taco deal. Something like three for $8 or four for $10. That a la carte crap pissed me off. As I said, I'll likely return to try a skillet of something else, but I'll bitch about the prices next time too, probably.

Different and fun. An interesting take on Mexican food with a southern twist. Fried Pickles are the shit! Worth a trip for sure. Great fricken service, wait staff are so sweet attentive and fun.

Golden M.

I really don't see what the big deal is. We waited 35mins for a table to eat food that would had been equally delicious at Taco Bell. They get 3 stars because our waiter was attentive and the mango margarita was great. I ordered the nachos. Voila!! It was just a big tin bowl of nacho chips. No sauce. Had to order all the ingredients separately. Oh.. And they don't have any nacho cheese. ( this is the part where I change my stars from 3 to 2 ) cos it hurts that much everytime I think about it. Munching on dry nacho chips that is :/

Great Food Not So Good Service...I have been wanting to try this place out for months every since I relocated to ATL! I've heard sooo much about it! Finally got a chance to come here last Sunday! For starters the wait time was approx 50 mins to be seated outside on the rooftop deck but being that it was such a beautiful day I didn't mind! After waiting all that while we were finally seated however it took us to ask where or who our waiter was for someone to finally come and acknowledge us! I understand you are busy but c'mon now at least bring some water! The house margarita in a pitcher was the select drink of choice! For $22 it wasn't bad at all and it's more cheaper than ordering several drinks! We ordered the queso dip with chips for an appetizer however it NEVER came out. The main entrees came out before the requested appetizer! The buffalo chicken skillet was AMAZING!!! If the food wasn't as good as it was I wouldn't even reconsider going back! You have to take a shot somewhere and in this situation it was def the service that lacked! After questioning our waitress about the queso dip she still brought it and comp'd us for it.. Which should've been done anyways! Other than these little run ins I would recommend anybody who wants a nice cheap Mexican lunch! read less

Theryl J.

So first, the FOOD HERE IS AMAZING!!!!!! I don't think I've had a better taco than I've had at Tin Lizzy's. The best part of the menu is that they take everyday, comfort foods like fried chicken & fried fish and created AMAZING tacos. What's even better? Tin Lizzy's is INCREDIBLY affordable, with most tacos at $3. I went during National Margarita Day, and had an AMAZING Strawberry Margarita. Now my complaints for this particular location (Memorial Dr) is that parking is AWFUL, and extremely limited, but that's also 90% of the restaurants in Atlanta. The restaurant is also very, very small, so it's not ideal for large groups, but definitely "quaint" for date night or even Girls Night Out. Overall, I will absolutely return to Tin Lizzy's! In fact, I'm dreaming of that Fried Chicken Taco, and Philly Cheese Steak taco NOW! #Yum

Jeehae K.

Been here once before with some friends a year back and decided it was good enough to stop by again. Service was good, I got the pork tacos and fish taco. The pork was excellent and surprisingly filling! Instead of fish, I was accidentally served crispy chicken instead, but I didn't mind too much because it was really good and our server was really nice. Thanks MILES! Last time I came they gave us free chips with a choice of queso, but I guess they don't do that as a service anymore (?) overall I would go for it again

Absolutely love this spot! Best guacamole EVER! Awesome house margaritas too

Cam S.

I've eaten here twice and the ambience is great. It is a trendy place to eat at but beware because you get exactly what you order. The flavor of the food is described in the name and you will taste every bit of what is listed so if you don't particularly like something then don't get it. The tacos are kind of pricey but you do get good flavor packed taste but the portion is a bit small for the price. Parking sucks!! Be able to pay to park or get a ticket by taking chances.

Nice place, small but that's okay. I've been here several times with my girls we enjoyed ourselves. But, i think the waitress wants us to leave now (stop rushing us) chill we are hungry.

Eh. It's a fun place... But the food wasn't really that good. I didn't finish any of the dishes I ordered... Which but were simple bar food... Wings.. Dip... And I can't remember if I got some kind of burger.. Maybe not. Well, it obviously wasn't memorable enough for me.

Cody G.

Love this place As a group at work, we go to the Crescent Ave location a good bit and love it. First time at the Memorial spot, loved it. I get the Skillet with pulled pork added, such a great meal. Pro tip : You can order gluten free chips (they come in a Tostitos bag) as well as chips without the seasoning, the latter usually come out fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.

No stars for this place what so ever!! My husband said lets try some thing new and i wanted Mexican so i said ok , the place is full so i was like thats a good sign so we ordered chips first the tortillas wasn't that good and you can SMELL the oil in it, then i ordered the side rice it was undercooked and blend my dish was quesidella the chicken tasted horrible as if it was sitting there from yesterday or something you know that chicken taste like it wasn't washed good so i think it will be my first and last time , the one positive is that our food came fast probably because it was pre made any way

Peter H.

I have been to Tin Lizzy's half a dozen times and always had a good time. The food is tasty and some of it (especially the tacos) is pretty affordable. It definitely has a bar feel, so you have to be looking for dim lights, a lot of background noise, etc. In my experience, the waitstaff is very polite and helpful. Go, and you'll have a good time!
(4)
Jackie H.

I left TL feeling a little underwhelmed. I had several tacos and the only one that really stood out was the Philly cheese one. The rest were just okay. Also, had a skillet with the rice, cheese, onions, and added shrimp. Again, just okay. The energy here was lacking. It seems like everything was moving in slow motion. No free chips and salsa? HUH? Margaritas were pretty good. No rush to return.

Went on Tuesday for a lunch meeting and called Harvey ahead of time to inform him of my arrival and he had Katie make sure to care of myself and my guest. We decide to sit on the balcony this time since it was such a nice day! The service was great! Katie made sure we had everything we need to make sure our experience was enjoyable! Our Texas Margaritas were made to perfection and our Grilled Shrimp Nachos were hot and fresh to our satisfaction. This establishment is clearly all bout serving there guests top quality product and creating an experience that is highly enjoyable! Harvey and his team have definitely shown me excellent treatment every time I have come in. I highly recommend that if you haven't been and you are in the area to definitely visit Tin Lizzy's. If you are looking for a place to have a nice lunch meeting or simply grab some food and drinks with friends to catch up this is definitely the place to go!

I really love this place. The food is great...especially the queso!!! There are a lot of young professionals here. The music is kinda loud tho---and it's hard to get seated. I come here every time I'm in ATL

Fried Chicken Nachos are great. My favorite bartender had left- she is at a different location. I think I will have to follow her.

Waited a long time for a server, who came up and announced "I'm listening". Watched several different orders delivered to wrong tables. Wanted chips and salsa, told "they ain't free!" Food came quick, one order yummy ( shrimp tacos, BBQ tacos) one average ( salad). Chips were very good. Still waiting on the check.
(2)
Maurice A.

The specialty tacos hit the spot, along with the Beach House margaritas. Maybe not authentic Mexican, but what do you expect in Atlanta. I sat outside in the upstairs patio and the vibe was right. The next time I'm in Atlanta, I can do this spot again.

Nedra W.

Was there last Saturday on a date. It was my first time eating there although it was on my foodie list for a long time. I tried 3 different tacos and enjoyed them all. The margarita pitcher we ordered was good as well. I can't wait to go back!

Robin W.

Very good food, on the noisy side but never minded it was just part of the atmosphere. Chips and 3 amigos dippers were on point.

Travis is truly the best! My friends and I left the Gsu /Gsu game (HAIL SOUTHERN). We were greated warmly, and had amazing service from Travis, D, and the owner! The best time and an amazing night. We frequent this place often and I'm already mapping our next trip.

Christy B.

I entered hopeful and left hangry... I'd been waiting for, literally, years to try Tin Lizzy's after hearing so much hype about the food and margaritas. The first test was margaritas at the bar while waiting for a table, and we were dissapointed by their super sugariness. Pure heartburn. I didn't expect the sports bar-ness of this place that was real in every regard: giant TVs everywhere, the screaming sports bar crowd, and paying for stale chips and salsa (huh?). My opinion is that if "cantina" is part of an establishment's name, complimentary chips and salsa (and some music in Spanish) should be part of the deal, so I kind of feel like it was all a bunch of false advertising. Their tacos looked good across the table, and I wish I had ordered a few for myself because my quesadilla was rather petite. Or maybe I was still hungry from the mental agony of rationed chips and salsa. Bottom line: there was nothing that will compel me to come back. Not when there are so many other legit cantinas in Atlanta.

Christopher J.

Went here for the first time because for years I heard such great things i.e. how good the food was but I had a totally different experience when I visited with my party of six people. I love to cook but I thought that the food was very bland, our server acted like that was the first job he had worked at, we had to constantly send food back because of the taste and appearance, the margarita's seemed as though they were already premixed, and the management was nowhere to be found. Overall my experience here was decent but I would not recommend this place to any of my friends!!!

Torrance U.

This was my first time here, nice atmosphere and vibe when I walked in. Was seated quickly and checked out the menu, I wanted to order a margarita but then I saw the small glasses they came in I changed my mind, my friends didn't want any so I changed my mind about the pitcher because I can't kill a whole pitcher by myself. I can kill more than half of one tho. Lol. Anyway. So after looking over the menu for a few minutes unable to decide what I wanted. I order a grilled shrimp skillet. Should have followed my first thought and ordered a full skillet but I didn't. I know how I like to eat. Got the half skillet and it was very good. So I know the next time. Follow my appetite. Didn't want to order anymore food so I did the logical thing. I ordered some Yuengling to fill me up. Lol.. can't wait to go back with my fellow yelpers!

Josh B.

I have been to other locations and enjoyed them. But this visit was very very unenjoyable, to begin the service was quiet slow taking 10+ min in between visits to the table. We then ordered some drinks, I ordered a Guinness which tasted terrible and watered. And nothing like a Guinness should be like. And my friend ordered a Blue Moon that was straight flat and sored, it came to us with no head. And aft we r saying something about it to waiter he then told me that the Guinness is not good at this location. It then came to pay and I was like I don't want to pay for a bad beer. So he went to talk to the Manger, who not once came to the table to talk to us, and it's not like we didn't see him since his office was close to our table, and then told the waiter to us the beers were fine and we were wrong and made us pay for bad beer we didn't not drink. The chips were also stale and there was a mystery hair in another friend's food. It is apparently possible to mess up draft beer. I'm not saying all Tin Lizzy's are bad, I will not be returning to thus location due to terrible management.

Love Tin Lizzy's Grant Park location. My fave are the nachos with steak! They have an awesome rooftop that you can get a distant view of the city, and it's even better on summer nights. Sometimes they will even have a live singer or band on the roof, which is really cool. It's a chill, laid-back Tex-Mex style restaurant. Really friendly staff, and the food has always been great. Only con, the parking is scarce and it's suuuuuppperr tight, so if you have an SUV or truck, you might want to park on the side streets nearby or MAYBE in the back where there's extra parking. Other than that, that's it!
(5)
Chris B.

This place is great!! From the chips and salsa to the diverse Taco menu. Every time I go it is packed but the wait never exceeds 15 min. The outdoor seating is excellent on a beautiful sunny day or afternoon. If you love twisted taco then you'd Love this place even more. If your traveling from out of town or a resident in the metro area, Tin Lizzys is a must to try! The menu is very reasonable and I haven't found a cantina or mexican restaurant that offers better tasting chips and salsa, as well as there queso dip! If you plan on going for lunch, either take a later lunch or earlier lunch as this place gets packed and the parking is always hard to find a spot, as there are other restaurants close by that share parking spaces.
(5)
sultan w.

I like Tin Lizzys! Even if it's just to chill and have drinks. But I loving coming here for the tacos! They've come up with best tacos! My favorite are Philly cheesesteak, fried chicken, shrimp, and fish tacos! They also have good chips with there very own seasoning! Staff is always friendly. I love this place

Neenee P.

Our service was so bad we both left upset and hungry. My boy and I are in the industry, so are extremely tolerant and huge over tippers. This girl, sat down to take our order, never gave us share plates or napkins for the food her co workers ran, we watched as she went to another table of cute guys four times as our drinks sat empty and the girl who ran our food ultimately refilled us while our server never did a check back. We literally never got napkins or more chips or plates and finally frustrated I asked for the check. She dropped it, then 15minutes later!! Took payment. I left the worst tip I think I've left on 10 years. We usually tip 40-50%this oblivious girl got 7%, only because we figured it would cover her tip out to the functional humans around her. Awful. Won't be back, bad service ruins an experience. Crescent ave. location decent, but this is tex mex average food, we came on a sunny winter day in good moods and left grouchy! I was too shy and over waiting to speak to the manager. Just awful!

Cara K.

This is my favorite Tin Lizzy's location. If the weather is nice, sit upstairs on the patio overlooking Oakland Cemetery. The tortilla chips here are quite addicting, as they contain some type of seasoned salt yumminess. I've never had a bad meal here and my only complaint is that they stopped serving the amazing margarita cupcakes that they used to have available.
(4)
Dee Dee C.

I don't get the hype surrounding this place. Yes, it's got a nice patio. However, the view is of a cemetery. Literally. Smack. Dab. Right. Across. The. Street. I don't know about you, but I don't like to eat my tacos with a side of "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." No thank you, I'm good! Moving on to the food. Eh, it's Atlanta Mexican so I wasn't expecting the food to be off the chain. Which it wasn't. *insert non-shocked face* However, I did expect a lot from the margaritas. While they didn't disappoint, they certainly could have been stronger. Oh, and what's up with these Mexican places WITHOUT complimentary chips & salsa? No, really what in the heck is up with that?! I was all *complete with a Scooby-Doo face*, "We have to pay for the chips n salsa?!" Me no likey! Lastly, the service sucked. Poor girl was sweet, but it was definitely not one of her best days. I can say I came, I ate, I saw, & I'm done with this Tin Lizzy's.
(2)
Jai R.

I have to agree with everyone else, the parking is annoying! Very annoying. But moving along the seating time was fast and drinks were quickly served in semi dirty glasses. Sure the waitress can explain that the glasses are scratched but that doesn't explain greasy ass finger prints everywhere. *digressing* I haven't been to this location since it was Six Feet Under. Yeah, I tend to visit other Tin Lizzy's. Well, the food was decent and the pitcher margarita was good. Mexican American fare can never really be held at a super high standard so the real question is would I return. Yes, decent tacos and overly iced margaritas make for a good time. However, I will still patronize other locations where parking doesn't suck!

Steven G.

Cantina...means bar or saloon. That's not exactly the case here with Tin Lizzy's. They have a huge selection of food. I mean Mexican food. I mean tacos. Yes, huge selection of tacos. And, they have some other items but why bother. TACOS it is! O' yeah, they serve drinks here, too. Cantina indeed! Great selection of on the rocks margaritas and such. I personally had the Skinny Margaritas to watch my figure. None of that overly sweet Sour Mix, just lime juice, Cointreau, Triple Sec, and Tequila. Drinks were strong! Others in our party had the spiked lemonades and other margaritas with no complaints... We had a huge party and got some guff from the hostess about waiting until the full party had arrived...so, we commandeered some tables around the bar after some back and forth with her. We ended up moving all the tables together and it worked out pretty good. Our waitress did a pretty good job of managing 15 people and keeping the checks separate as well, I was impressed! She was extremely nice on the ball. I love good service! Taco selection varied but everything we had was delicious and fresh. I know, the single taco thing is played out but they do it well here, so whatever! Good spot to get liquored up before venturing into Oakland Cemetery for a sober-walk and a gander at the marble mausoleums.

Julee D.

Great place for happy hour. I was here last Friday after work with a friend. There were great specials on the menu including margarita pitchers and special black bean/corn queso dip. Also I enjoyed my favorite taco, the Southern Comfort. The best part of the evening was live acoustical music by a guy named Brandon.

Brianna B.

I am in Atlanta on business and this restaurant came highly recommended. It did not disappoint! The margaritas were to die for! I ordered a watermelon basil margarita and my colleague had a Thai margarita. We ordered the Three Amigos appetizer, also delicious. The staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend stopping in if you are in the Atlanta area.

Had a BLAST here on Tuesday night! We got here around 7:30pm and didn't leave until after midnight! They have "$2 Tuesdays" with a pretty good menu! We had Cheese Quesadillas, Tacos, Chips and countless shots! JESSICA IS THE BEST WAITRESS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! We'll start coming here more often...it was worth the drive from Kennesaw! The crowd is nice & diverse (No sagging pants or hoodies), the staff is fun and the seating is ample! We'll be back quite often!

Great tacos & yummy menu choices. Parking sucks. The place has always been packed & they really pack you in tight. We've never had to wait very long to get in, but once we were in, the service is a tad on the slow side, though our servers have always been friendly. Music is far too loud for casual conversation. Nice mix of people in the crowd. It's a great once-in-awhile place. Excellent Customer Relations!

Kristen D.

This is the only Tin Lizzys location we like. We have tried Buckhead and Sandy Springs and will pass. Great staff and good food for the price. You have to go at the right time or parking will be an issue. I'm sad that they no longer do trivia. Highly recommend for a casual dining experience. We love eating here and walking it off afterward while meandering around Oakland.

Steve B.

This is like the Joint (as they would say 10-20 years ago) on a Friday after work heading into the evening. Your best bet is to find parking around the corner, not enough to go around. Gets too crowded and if you can tolerate that -then more power to you. Reservations needed if possible because 30-60 minutes seems to be the average wait when busy. Love the tacos and plenty of those to go around of various flavors and selections. Love the maggies (margaritas). Frozen is the way to go though if you ask me! :) Overall, like Tin Lizzy's. Food, experience, crowd, atmosphere is somewhere between average and above. Update - they have banging strawberry margaritas! Grade: C

Corina B.

I love Tin's! And if you love tacos & margaritas in a casual atmosphere, you'll love it too! Tuesday is the best...they have a $2 -3 menu. Must try the blue or pomegranate margaritas

Apearl C.

Ehhh The food was good, but the crowded seating and parking annoyed me. Maybe I need to try it on a different night other than Tuesday. I will go back for the food, but did not like parking behind the building that didn't have direct access to Tin Lizzy's!

Less crowded for a Saturday than the other places. The ability to chill and have conversation without yelling.

Josh M.

Had a work lunch here this week. Great place for groups. Menu is sure to please all who attend, and the food is consistently good. Very casual beer and tacos kind of place, but it sure does it well. Waitress volunteered to write separate checks for all 15 of us, which can sometimes be a hard sell at other places. Great service throughout the meal. This is definitely the place for an afterwork happy hour or before the game meal. It looked like they had a really cool roof deck, which likely has sweeping views of the downtown skyline.

Allyson R.

I came here with a party of 5 after going to the ATL Zoo and I am disappointed I wasted my time. You have to pay for chips, which is not normal at a mexican place. Then, we ordered fried pickles and they were never brought out...or acknowledged at all. The kid's meal corn dog came out and was FROZEN. Then it took about 15 minutes for them to cook it, and they brought it out burning hot. The little boy burnt his fingers when he tried to pick up the stick. We got the bill and we were overcharged for 2 things. Big dislike.

Ambriah B.

This is my favorite location. The food and service are always awesome! One of my top food priorities when I am home! I just wish they would bring back the awesome cupcakes they use to servce ( about 2 years ago). However, I understand the woman who used to bake them could not keep up with the demand. They were awesome! My only complaint would be parking... but I dont think it would be fair to remove a star. Its not their fault they are always busy! Great food and vibe! If the weather is nice try sitting on the balcony.

Cool place. Bartender Lauren was super cool and efficient. Had lunch there with co workers. Didi was Suoer kool and fast with orders. Not a bad place to dorm an hour for lunch. The Korean BBQ tacos is the truth!!!

Livin S.

Decent spot, Saturdays they have a guy that plays guitar who is pretty good. The bartenders are cool. Ask for Phil or Devin, they are attentive and get your drink orders quickly. The food is OK, not the best and not the worst. All in All a cool place to hang out and grab a drink.

Jane E.

We popped in here after going to an art show at The Jane next door. And I must say, this Tin Lizzy's is just okay. The wait was long 45-1 hr on a Saturday night. I don't think they really cared about trying to seat us until we decided to go in and stand up front (which we did at about 45 minutes... we first killed time thinking about getting a tattoo in the parlor next door). There are two long benches outside to wait on. It looked like they had upstairs seating, but I'm not sure if that's reserved for parties only or something. The food at this one was okay, certain dishes didn't seem as fresh (like the Tin Skillets), but all in all still good. The server was really sweet, really nice... if I remember her name I'll post it. Although the crowd was big and the place was packed, serviced certainly seemed to move faster. I'm thinking the more open floor plan helps them achieve this oppose to Crescent's Ave. long, narrow design. But overall for the long wait and not as good food, I'll have to give a 3, 3.5 at best.

I don't know why I haven't written a review for these guys yet... I eat here all the time! It's the perfect place for quesadillas, cheese dip, and drinks. The tacos are good too, but I feel the better value is in the quesadillas. Also, I just really love quesadillas. This location has an outdoor seating area on the roof, overlooking the Oakland Cemetery, which I enjoy. The restaurant in general is often very crowded and yet I've only had to wait for seating one or two times out of the tens of times I've been in the last several months. The service is generally neither here nor there- I had at least one terrible experience- but overall, it's fine.

Just slightly prettier versions of El Azteca and they nickle and dime you for everything. $1 for this, $2 for that.. and all of sudden the skillet that we were trying to make into fajitas (because they don't have that on the menu) was $20.. Only reason to go here is to drink and stand on the patio overlooking the cemetery.

This location is great...service, food and most importantly the MARGARITAS!!! If you are Atlanta visiting or just live here in Atlanta you should definitely check it out!!! Great place to meet people as well!!!

I was here on a Saturday evening around 6ish and this place was CROWDED! Service started out great and then got slow, but perhaps it was due to a very busy kitchen. I started with the fried pickles, which are served with spicy ranch. It was the first time Ive had fried pickles and boy was I glad i tried them. So YUMMY! The spicy ranch was perfection. I then had the spicy cilantro steak taco & the santa fe chicken taco. Both had a little spice to it and tons of flavor. The tacos were not too small and not too big, rather they were just right. I wish we had a place like this in the DC area. Id definitely be a regular if I lived in Atlanta.

My first time visiting Tin Lizzy was a good experience. Although, when I arrived the kitchen was closed. However, they were serving tacos and nachos, which was actually just what I wanted. I went on Margarita Day and they were celebrating w/ $4 Margaritas. The drinks & food were good. It was a pretty cool atmosphere. I could definitely see myself going back there when the kitchen is open or on a late night to get a drink.

Downside: Parking and... everything else is amazing! I absolutely love their skillets! I am not a huge taco person, therefore, I cannot review them, but the skillets are amazing!!!! It is a do it yourself, and I love it with grilled Tilapia, extra avocado, cheese, pico de gallo, no beans, no onions and peppers. Also, don't forget a side of Tator Tots! I don't normally drink margaritas, but theirs are beyond! 12$ for a pitcher! Totally worth it! I like this location better then Buckhead's. It just doesn't have the same kick! Worth the drive and the sucky parking!

This is definitely my favorite of the TIn Lizzys locations. The building gets a lot more light and has a generally more laid back vibe. The margaritas are average (sometimes above) and the cheese is good too. Sometimes this place has a bad live cover singer, so be prepared to talk over him if you sit near the bar. The santa-fe steak or chicken tacos are delicious with a little spice. The buffalo chicken taco is yummy too. Parking can be rough on busy nights - especially weekends. There is additional parking around the corner in the back.

We often go to Tin Lizzy's for lunch, since it's so near our work, but for more than just the close proximity! I have always gotten great customer service and the food is just plain good. ALWAYS. I especially like ordering The Skillet, and regrettably have to get the half size because it's still SO MUCH food! Margaritas are definitely top shelf - not that I would order one at lunch time, BUT I've heard (wink) that they were top shelf ;o)

I went to Tin Lizzy on Saturday. Parking sucks at this location, but that comes with the territory in Atlanta. We were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and informative. I got the "Grant Park" margarita special. Which is the mango strawberry margarita. It was so good. We had the salsa and queso dips. They were both delicious, and the chips were seasoned and freshly prepared. I decided to get tacos. I got one Fajita Shrimp taco and one Santa Fe Steak taco. If you like your food with some spice, then get the Santa Fe Steak taco. I was quite tasty, My shrimp taco was ok. I was disappointed with the lack of shrimp. Overall my first time experience at Tin Lizzy was good. I will good back again to try other menu items.

I have been to a Tin Lizzy's before, but never actually tried the food. I stopped by for lunch today and had a pretty good experience. I wasn't overly wowed by the food that I had, but I can't complain about it, either. We started off with the trio, which was nice since you wouldn't otherwise get any chips to start with. There is definitely enough of that stuff to go around, between two of us we couldn't get through half of any of them -- and we definitely ate a lot of it. I have a big container to bring home...the salsa was good, I loved the queso and the guac is one of the better I've had at a restaurant. I tried three tacos and all were okay, but none were amazing, gotta-have-it-again status. I tried the special taco of the week or whatever (something with grilled shrimp, which was probably my fave), a santa fe steak and the buffalo chicken. The steak one was pretty good, but the buffalo one was nothing special and kind of disappointing since I generally love anything that includes bleu cheese. Overall, for a few bucks, I do really like that you can pick from a huge variety of items. Depending on your mood and budget, I would vouch to say just about everyone could find something they'd want to order. And for $3 a pop on tacos, I will say the ingredients were very fresh and I like how it's all made to order for you. Hence, I can't complain! But I'm not ready to race back anytime soon -- maybe next time, after work, when I can try the margaritas... :)

If you are looking for true Mexican food, this isn't the place to go. I had the burger taco, expecting ground beef in the taco. What I got was a taco with a very over-cooked hamburger patty cut into pieces inside. Margarita and fried pickles were excellent. Atmosphere was loud. Service was just OK, the waitress was nice but didn't offer ask necessary questions (Salt on margarita...Didn't get it but wanted it; also didn't get asked whether I wanted wheat or white tortilla). Had to pay for chips & salsa, salsa seemed to be from a jar, not fresh.

Whitney T.

This is actually my favorite Tin Lizzy's location. I think it's smaller than the Midtown location and the space is tight. But this was the first location I ever went to. I had a great time and was introduced to fried pickles. And I don't care what anyone says, fried pickles are great and I love them! I also had the fried fish and philly cheese steak taco. We had a really cool server and it was just a really cool experience!

Autumn S.

I came here with an open mind, I swear, as a buddy wanted to celebrate his bday here and watch some football game at the same time. But of course, major let down in the food department and I'm no sports bar expert, but if I was actually coming here to watch a game, I'd be really disappointed by the really small tv's which require superhuman eyesight to actually view anything. Anyway, anyone who knows me knows I only care about food and this food was a let down. I woke up the next day in a salt coma!!! I should not have been surprised as the guacamole I sampled was bathed in it and was overpowered by garlic, too. Also, the queso was just yucky. It was overly thick and glue like in texture, like it had been sitting out for days and the taste sucked out of it. I decided any taco they were going to offer was not worth my investment after the chips and dip debacle. For the people who imbibe, the margaritas were ok, too sweet for me but someone may like that fruity sugar rush somewhere. They were strong though, I will give them that. Service was also spotty-took server 3 reminders to bring water, after she had already brought margaritas:(

We came for a quick dinner before a show at the Georgia Dome and me and my two friends weren't very hungry but after eating two tacos we each had to order more. Go with the recommendations. Shay was our server and she was awesome too. I would love to come back!

Everything was awesome! Beer, chips, guacamole and tacos. Everybody loved it! The fish tacos were the best I've ever had.

Emily K.

I'm knocking them down to 3.5 stars. I've become somewhat of a regular at this location since I moved closer. The service is spotty at best. The last time I was in there, the server wasn't really on the ball. It was a Monday night, so it wasn't like they were swamped. I don't like ice in my sodas. It's a quirk that throws wait staff for a loop sometimes. I always ask for it without ice. Sure enough, there was ice in it. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but when it was combined with her clearly uninterested attitude, I wasn't too pleased. The food is consistent which is why I keep coming back. I love their cheese dip and chips. I probably need a twelve step program for it. I like the variety of tacos and I haven't disliked anything I've tried. The prices are reasonable and I like that they now offer cupcakes as a dessert option. They always have the margarita and then a rotating flavor of the month. I wish the service were better, but at least I can count on the food being good every time.

Yolanda M.

The wait staff is very friendly. Tuesdys is the best, they have a $2 -3 menu, I think it has a 80's theme too. So the music is on point! LOL Skillets and the nachos are great, throw a margarita in there and it's a party! The only down side, the parking!
(4)
Mick D.

Aauuugh! The cupcakes are gone! But the tacos were (as always) good--tasty & fresh. We also had the "Three Amigos:" chips with guac, queso, and salsa. The queso and the salsa are absolute winners, but the guac is missing something, and I can't figure out what. Service today was extremely fast and very friendly, in spite of us having a few late-comers to the table. I'll certainly look forward to my next visit.

Joe R.

Checked out Tin Lizzy's after hearing about it on the radio. Between the Santa Fe & Southern Comfort tacos, my only regret was not ordering a third taco to satisfy my hunger! Don't think I'll get the Southern Comfort again, though. I'll probably try the fried chicken taco next time around....looked good sitting on my wife's plate. LOL! Be sure to try out the sides! The guacamole is smooth and creamy with little chunks of avocado in it (the best!!) and the salsa is smoky from the chipotle. Parking is tight, like others have mentioned, however, there is additional parking off a side street that is less than 1 block away.

Went on a Friday night around 11pm only to find out they do a very limited menu. Chicken and Steak tacos only and some queso and salsa...that's about it. Slightly disappointed but we went ahead and sat down. Out of the blue the waiter arrives with four glasses of unasked for water and then proceeded to tell us there was no more steak for the steak taco's. Okay..........so I ordered the Queso Fundido and one chicken taco. About 10mins later he pops back up to say no can do on the Queso Fundido. At this point I'm thinking am I getting punked? You only offer four things on the late night menu and at 11:00pm you've run out of two of them???? Finally got the chicken taco and queso blanco. The chicken taco reminded me of something from Mcdonalds..lettuce some mystery sauce and chicken cubes. That was it. The chips were to salty and the queso was luke warm. Yea not coming back here anytime soon.

Jessica L.

We sat on the balcony overlooking the cemetery. Margaritas were delicious on a hot summer Sunday, and the guac and salsa was yummy. I had 2 tacos (forgot which ones exactly). I wouldn't say they're the most authentic but they were pretty good. Waitress was nice and accommodating when I left my ID at home :P.
(4)
Eric J.

We ordered the three-dip combo for an appetizer. All the dips were good, the salsa was our favorite. The guacamole was a little lime-y for my taste and the queso was on the salty side. Admittedly, my enthusiasm for the nachos may have decreased significantly after the chips and dip, but I feel like the quality was lacking. The meat was awful, but the toppings were fresh. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Probably won't return.

Chris T.

Decent food but terrible for groups. We arrived with a group of 7. They told us half the restaurant was rented but they should be able to get us seated within 20 minutes once some tables clear and they can put two four tops together. The next half hour, we watched them seat without even trying to keep a table open. When we asked about the wait time, the hostess finally confessed she had no idea when they could get us in so we left. I think we were their insurance if the big group cancelled. The manager seemed to be aware of the situation, which makes it worse.

Erik G.

I love Tin Lizzy's so much but I was really disappointed that night that two dollar Tuesdays is now defunct, but nonetheless those 4 buck Margaritas hit the spot!! Our waiter was super cool and amazing annnnnnnd that angus burger taco is the truth. Come visit you wont leave disappointed.

Much improved. Expanded margarita choices, vast menu and good quality food for the price. Even the chips and salsa were good. Creative menu choices too. Hated the too loud live music, though.

OK, so I came back again last night and managed to find a table despite the throngs of Braves and GSU Panthers crowding in. They had a limited dinner menu so I tried one chicken and one steak taco. The presentation was simple - meat, lettuce, soft tortilla and an awesome sauce. I liked the chicken taco much better than the steak one, but the real winner was my strawberry cupcake. OMG. IT was the most delicious cupcake I've ever had. It was about the size of an apple - this moist, pink, strawberry cupcake - and was topped with the most satisfying and decadent cream cheese topping I've ever had (think the toaster streudel cream cheese on speed). I tried to eat it with my hands, but hand to give in and use the spoon provided. Ordinarily they are $3 each, but since it was late and they were trying to sell the day's stock, I got it for 2 bones. What a treat! Who knew Tin Lizzy's had such fantastic cupcakes? ****UPDATE**** Tin Lizzy's cupcakes are actually baked by Kelsey Garrett, Owner of Cupcake Love Bakery. She operates out of her house, but you can reach her at cupcakelovebakery@yahoo.â€¦

Im not a big fan of cilantro. I asked to have my meal without. Instead of substituting, the reply I got back was 'theres cilantro on pretty much everything. I had plain bbq chicken tacos, didnt even come with rice. Disgusting. My party enjoyed there meals which is the only reason this gets a 2 star rating, based off this visit anyway.

David Z.

For some reason I'd always thought Tin Lizzy's was like Taco Mac...food being secondary to liquor. But I was hungry after volunteering at a nearby school, and my fellow Hands on Atlanta folks had chosen Tin Lizzy's. The atmosphere was good, with a view of Oakland Cemetery to one side and HD TVs on the other. I ordered three tacos (Super Greek, Southern Comfort, Spicy Tilapia), all of which were delicious. They were 3 bucks apiece, but the portion size and fresh flavor were worth it. I also got to try their famous Tater Tots, which lived up to the hype. Super crispy outside and diced potato inside. I would've given a 5 star rating, but our waitress seemed utterly uninterested in providing cordial service.

I've always been a fan of the tacos here (and, the margaritas, like any normal hot-blooded American), and the new menu items I noticed a couple weeks ago just make me love them that much more. Try the Southern Comfort, or my regular favorite, the Philly Cheesesteak. I stay away from here on Saturday nights because it tends to get chock-full of very young, drunken toolbags around that time, and I'm not a fan of fist-pumping or Bon Jovi (especially not together). However, it is one of my favorite neighborhood haunts. I simply love an evening on the rooftop patio, overlooking Oakland Cemetery with some fundido dip and a Texas margarita.

Gemorial J.

Very cool place to go for good authentic mexican grub and good drinks. The house margarita is good and cheap too. Me and my girl go here quite a bit just to chill, get a bite and a few drinks. Never a let down so far. The crowd is mixed and so is the music. Yeah, I am a fan- Not a place for big groups but cool for 2-5 people.

This is pretty much our default taco place as it's super close to home. I can always count on whatever I order being tasty and arriving at the table quickly. Service is usually pretty good. I'm a big fan of their chips (there's something about the seasoning they use) and their cheese dip is tasty is well. All in all, I'd recommend it if you're looking for quick and tasty Tex Mex in the Grant Park area.

Came here with a group of coworkers for lunch after a company service project. We were all pretty hungry and after having heard a lot about the Tin Lizzy chain, especially how popular the Midtown location was, I was more than ready to eat. However, the food didn't really live up to the expectations of my empty stomach. First off, not a huge fan that there wasn't free chips and salsa service. Chips and salsa are to Mexican restaurants as bread service is to fine dining spots; it's something I've come to expect and you can tell how a restaurant treats their dishes based on what they offer for free. For lunch, I got a cup of the chicken tortilla soup and a half skillet with grilled chicken. The tortilla soup was good, but flavor-wise, nothing really stood out, though they did give a good chunk of avocado on the side. The half skillet was visually appealing - with big pieces of chicken, plenty of tortilla strips, rice, onions, and peppers. First bite into it though, the dish was very dry and bland. I had to ask for a small side of salsa (which I was charged for...) just to add some flavor and moisture. I really couldn't stomach eating more than half the skillet, which resulted in me being just full, not deliciously happy full where I'd want to rub and bet my belly. Despite the food being lackluster, our server was great and handled the individual checks of our party of 15 very well. She also was able to get one of our members his order within the 20 minute window he had before his meeting. Don't think I'd be back to eat, but I'd like to give their Margaritas a shot.

Katie W.

I thought I'd already reviewed this. Weird. Anyway, this is my favorite of all the Tin Lizzy's. It can get very crowded but I've never really experienced too much of a wait here. To be fair, I don't drink their margaritas but they're vodka sodas are quite fine. And, all I've ever had off their extensive menu is the Build Your Own Salad but I love it so I'm not going to change. I actually REALLY love the salads. I've always had good service here and the people are nice. I like it. And, I'm totally craving a salad right now.

Met a friend on the rooftop for a relaxing evening. The atmosphere was delightful and the service was well. I had the house salad, half filled me up! It was a nice choice to wash down the margritas. Happy to have found a new little rooftop place.

Heather B.

Yum yum yum! The margaritas are delicious and I like how you can get all of them in either I just need s drink glass or let's get this party started pitcher. The house pitcher is only $15!! That's crazy and amazing. I guess with the prices being so low is that is how they can get away with charging for chips as salsa but it's okay with me because like I just did the prices are super reasonable and you get a decent amount of food. The guacamole is fantastico and the queso ain't to shabby either. They are always super accommodating with splitting checks and large parties. This is one of my favorite places to down margaritas and throw back a few tacos with a large group of friends or with just the hubby after a long week of work. I will say parking is a bitch!

Kristin B.

After I posted my review after my first lackluster experience at Tin Lizzy's, I got an apologetic and very nice PM from one of the co-owners inviting me to come try lunch again on their dime. Other business owners and restaurant managers could definitely learn from Tin Lizzy's in this respect, and I appreciated the owner reaching out to me. Though I decided to pay my own bill, my return visit was indeed better. I'm still not a fan of the food (the carne asada on my salad tasted stewed, not grilled), but our service was truly excellent. Greeted with a smile the moment we walked in, seated promptly, meals came quickly, and there was never a half empty glass. I can understand how this would be such a fun place to come hang out after work; every staff member we came into contact with seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs. The great service combined with the genuine concern of the ownership merit Tin Lizzy's an extra star. And now that I live in the neighborhood, I will definitely return to try those margaritas!

Melanie M.

I really like the food... I really do. BUT: I don't like how everything is an additional charge. I asked for tomatoes on my taco and it was $1. Chips and salsa $3. Beans and rice $2. By the time I had my two tacos and a coke, I spent almost $18 on all the up charges. My friend had the nachos and wanted cheese to-go. The lady told her $.25 but then charged her $1 and said "oh, my mistake" The service was pretty bad yesterday. They messed up our checks. I really like the food... but the experience is lacking.

Tin Lizzy's is the kind of Tex-Mex place where I can be charged for chips and salsa and not resent it. That's saying a lot! Their salsa is good, their chips come out warm, and best of all, they're coated in some kind of delicious seasoning. It may suck to pay, but I recommend you order at least chips/salsa/queso. I haven't tried the guac, but I look forward to it. The margaritas here are particularly tasty, and the beer selection is fantastic for a texmex joint. I often end up ordering a dos equis because it just feels right, but it's really nice to be able to get a seasonal terrapin or anchor steam or something equally delicious. All the food I've had has been pretty darn good. Various tacos, nachos, quesadillas - all solid. The tin skillets are a particularly awesome feature of Tin Lizzy's though. It's kinda like all kinds of random tex-mex ingredients all mixed together in ooey-gooey-cheesy deliciousness. Especially delightful with buffalo chicken! A really fun place to eat and hang out, which I totally recommend.

Popping in on a Tuesday night with a party that quickly grew to 20 they just rolled with the punches and our waitress rolled right along. She was awesome! Split the checks, everyone had drinks, even with folks showing up randomly she just asked (very nicely) that we don't change seats because of the split checks and kept right on smiling...thanks Nia!!! They were a packed house, as usual and still everything was really awesome! The Patron Margaritas were amazing as was the queso and the BBQ quesadilla, though I would love to go back and try and mix-and-match salads and skillets...let me know when Joel ;)! The price is right, it's a lot of fun, convenient and they can handle big parties (suggest calling ahead to give them a little notice :) ).

Deb B.

It looks like Six Feet Under. It even has the crowd of SFU. IT IS NOT SFU!! Never go on a Sunday night is my best advise. Having to wait 45 minutes for a table IS NOT my reason for a low score. Waiting 30 minutes on a cold patio for an order of fried pickles is. It's hard to screw up pickles. No complaint there besides the wait. The nachos were huge, but lacked any taste whatsoever. Chips, lettuce, jalapenos and a truck full of queso does not make nachos, nachos. I can make that at home. Tin Lizzy's is a bar that serves a tiny percent of food. The kitchen needs to drink that crazy coffee I had at Pho Bac's to step it up! I will never return. What a shame.

Christina J.

I STILL order the Chop Chop Shrimp taco (the December taco of the month) and plan to order it as long as they let me even though it's no longer on the menu! I highly recommend it. It's grilled shrimp with an asian slaw and pumpkin seeds for extra crunch. My co-workers and I go here at least once a week for the guac and the queso fundido (chorizo)

TK B.

Short review/list: *Queso Blanco: ummm...tastes weird, wtf? You can't normally mess up Queso, but it had a weird taste..like..put your gym sock in your mouth, then eat Queso. Not good, huh? *The Chicken Quesadilla: u can't mess that up at all...it was good. *Santa Fe Chicken Tacos: small, but still good..and cheap. *The Dizzy Lizzy Drink: their drinks are freakin strong, but I had to drive so I only drank one, and I was a bit dizzy. I don't necessarily have to go again, but if I'm in that area and need to have a good drink, I will definitely go.

After a pitcher or few of margaritas everything is always great! Our server was on top of things even dealing with a bunch of rowdy slightly buzzed patrons.The live band playing covers of rap songs and television themes was genius! The crowd was very mixed, laid back, I think I actually prefer this location over the Buckhead location.

Karate Kick! Run! Slide! He's safe! "hic". Roundhouse! Roundhouse! Frozen cranberry margaritas! Whooo! "hic". Where are my ears? Oh crap! "hic" They're on my margarita... er... head! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (falls down) Yeah... so... um... I had a grilled chicken salad and the meat tasted like steak... so can you say grub?! Er... and lets go ahead and follow that up with a... can you say cheap?! I think it was around three bucks for the small chicken salad, which was more then enough! It was packed to the rafters last night and the band kept playing covers of TV theme songs... I didn't take away a star for them being packed (the staff seemed to handle it very well) I took away a star for waking up this morning with the theme of Golden Girls stuck in my head! "hic".

Alayne H.

I was so happy when I found out that Tin Lizzy's was opening on Memorial. Now I no longer have to drive to Buckhead to get my margarita fix. The Texas and cranberry frozen margaritas seem to be my fave. I also love their chips - crisp, warm and nicely seasoned. I always order the three amigos as I like the variety of the salsa, queso and guacamole. The tacos and quesadillas that I have tried have been consistently good. The service is great - friendly and efficient. Last time we were here, one of the staff brought someone else's food to our table on a couple of occasions and we said it wasn't ours. Mind you, it was a Friday evening and the place was packed. No big deal, right? Well, he comped us a pitcher of margaritas as an apology. Very cool. Only thing I wish they would have done is changed up the interior from the previous occupant and put their own stamp on it. Oh well, after several pitchers of margaritas, who cares!

This place is always busy! Love the vibe and atmosphere! Salsa and Chips are great, really good Guacamole! My favorite Taco came highly recommended the Philly Cheese-steak Taco! I also like the Cheeseburger Taco with one change that sometimes they accommodate and that is ground meat instead of the steak cubes.

This is one of the hang out spots for the crew. We go here quite often. Tin Lizzy's has a good atmosphere with a nice menu. The food is reasonably priced. It can be very busy on weekend nights so the wait for a table can be pretty long if you have a group. And the House Magarita is only 4 Bucks...all the fuggin time! I have left out of this place feeling great b/c of this many times! They have TVs if you wanna catch the game also. The waiters/waitresses are fairly nice...haven't had bad customer service since i've been there. Parking can be quite a pain tho...parking up front is limited, tight, and just quite irritating at times. You may have to park a ways away sometimes and just walk to this location. And what type of Mexican food place doesn't serve burritos....c'mon Son!!!

Dru M.

I can't believe that I haven't been to this Tin Lizzy's since it was the old Six Feet Under. I'm kicking myself because there's a lot of great stuff going on there. Few things... * Our service was fantastic. We were seated immediately and our server was very attentive. Smiling the entire time and really enjoyed her job. This brings me back to establishments. * Fried jalapenos were ok. Wish they were cut into larger pieces and had a bit more breading. I did enjoy the fried pickles, but if they were sliced a bit thicker, that would have been better. * Tacos are pretty good. They only offer flour and whole wheat tortillas, but I really like the whole wheat. I highly suggest the fiesta chicken and spicy steak cilantro. * Prices are pretty reasonable for the portion size, as well as competitive with the restaurants in the area. * They have a great roof patio. Bonus. * Parking can be a bit tough. Just keep this in mind that you might need to investment a little time in finding a spot. Overall...whether you're looking to grab drinks or lunch/dinner...this is a great place for you!

Tin Lizzy's offers standard, Americanized Mexican cuisine in a casual, upbeat environment. Food: Upon initial glance, the majority of Tin Lizzy's menu is exactly what you would expect from most Mexican restaurants. However, one inherent novelty is that you have the option to customize virtually every menu item to your liking, including nachos, salads, quesadillas, and "tin skillets" (veggie rice, red peppers, onions, pickled jalapenos, and tortilla strips). The custom ingredient options are fairly extensive and include bbq chicken, grilled steak, shrimp, bacon, tilapia, avocado, and guacamole, among others. On my first visit, I opted to start with the nachos topped with bbq chicken and bacon. The portion was sizeable and the ingredients were fresh; however, they were topped with some sort of cajun seasoning, which wasn't mentioned on the menu, that I really didn't care for. For an entree, I ordered three speciality tacos, including the southwest chicken club, southern comfort, and bbq chicken. By far, the standout was the south comfort, which was comprised of grilled chicken, goat cheese, grilled onions, fried pickles, and bbq sauce; the flavors were unique and nicely complemented one another. Service: Our server was polite and incredibly efficient, particularly considering it was a Friday night. As with most casual Mexican restaurants in the area, a runner brought out the food instead of our waiter; nonetheless, the runner was quick to offer drink refills and additional napkins when dropping of the food. Atmosphere: Tin Lizzy's is casual and the clientele is eclectic. However, they frequently have live music on the outdoor patio, which is streamed live inside the restaurant; as such, you may be held subject to some unanticipated, and likely substandard, entertainment throughout your meal. Price: Prices are moderate. Most tacos are between $2.50 and $3.50, while the base price of customizable salads and quesadillas are $6 and $4, respectively. However, it's important to remember that most add-on cheeses and meats cost extra ($1 to $3 each). Other: Unsuspecting diners should note that the chips are not complimentary at Tin Lizzy's. A base order of chips with salsa will cost you $5.99. I found this absolutely bizarre, particularly considering that the chips were by no means exceptional.

I've only been to this Tin Lizzy's once, so this review is mostly a "first impression." As the 2 stars suggest I was not a fan, and neither were the 2 people I dined with during this visit. I think the Buckhead location may be better, but I was not impressed by this one at all. 1) Atmosphere. It was extremely loud inside. There was live music being played at the bar, which was cool, but it forced everyone to talk a little louder than usual and the acoustics inside the restaurant intensified everything to a deafening roar. 2) Food. Our table ordered 4 different tacos from the menu and there wasn't a single one that really impressed anyone. The "Southern Comfort" wasn't as advertised, the "Fajita Chicken" lacked taste, and the "Buffalo Chicken" was nothing more than a tortilla with chicken covered in BBQ sauce. The chips and salsa were surprising good, but at $2.99 they are far from complimentary. 3) Proximity to better food. As Bobbin mentioned, 6 Feet is right next door and they have some of the best fish tacos in town. As I ate my meal I continued to look out the window towards 6 Feet and really regretted my decision to try something new. Oh well, at least now I know were not to go for dinner. Again, this review is based on a single visit so take it for what it is worth. I won't be eating there again but maybe your visit will be better.

This was my first visit, and I found absolutely nothing at all to complain about...had spent the morning photographing Oakland Cemetery and actually had planned on walking across the street to the Bluebird Cafe...but they were packed and had a line out the door...so we went in Tin Lizzies instead. It was quiet, and cool, and our server, Kim, was amazing. She was friendly and helpful...we explained that we had never been before and she explained that everything was ala carte and welcomed us as first-timers. I was swelteringly hot after walking around the cemetery for hours, and I never had to ask for a refill of my tea or water...they just kept it coming. The tea was great, strong and served with lemon wedges. We got the fried pickles as a starter and they were perfectly done, with some kind of creamy, spicy dressing served with them. We asked for samples of several of the salad dressings, since we had originally planned on salads, and they brought them out promptly (the spicy lime dressing was amazing and actually went really well with the fried pickles). Ended up not getting salads after all, ordering the bbq chicken and goat cheese quesadillas instead, which sounded really weird, but I think I was teetering on the edge of heatstroke and wasn't thinking clearly when I ordered. It was huge (I brought half home) and was soooooo good. It was packed with chicken and a really, really good, creamy goat cheese, with a lot of grilled red peppers and onion and a side of bbq sauce that was good and smoky. When we got our bill, they told us that our appetizers were on the house since it was our first visit! A very nice touch!! I kept trying to find something to criticize...but just couldn't! I was surprised since many of the Yelp reviews weren't that great...but we were very pleasantly surprised!

As a Grant Park resident, I was thrilled when this establishment came to the neighborhood. With all the flat screens at the bar, it is a great place to watch a game, eat some tacos, and have a refreshing beverage. The tacos are amazing and with all the different choices offered, no matter your mood or taste you should be able to find one or three to your individual liking. My personal favorites are the Super Greek, the Philly Cheesesteak, the Southwest Chicken Club, and the Burger taco. The tortilla soup is packed with flavor and is a great option on those cooler Atlanta nights. There is also personalized options with either the Tin Skillets or Build your own Salad. Tin Lizzy's has an amazing beer list, along with an extensive drink menu and is equipped with a full bar. It signature drink is the Margarita but be warned that they are strong so be prepared to be walking a little wobbly and fighting gravity if you drink too many. The bartenders and staff are all friendly and introduce themselves to you as soon as you sit down. This helps to make the all around experience at Tin Lizzy's that more pleasurable.

What can i say other than i am a BIG fan!!!! The margaritas are great and the food is awesome. I have been to all 3 locations in atlanta but i prefer this memorial drive location. The staff here is friendlier and the crowd great also. I have tried most of the tacos on the menu and they all are pretty fantastic! This is a great place to take a female and have a few drinks and just chill. Tuesdays are 80's music night and they play videos all night with drink specials.

The summary: *Good stiff margaritas (I liked the texas version best). *Lots of TVs to watch the games. *Really good nachos and tacos (esp. the ones with steak). They used a queso blanco sauce that is really good on the nachos. And that vis saying a lot for me since I usually don't like nachos with cheese sauce. I usually like melted shredded cheese. But this stuff is like liquid cheese gold. *Good guac. Enough said. This is my new favorite casual spot.

Parking is tough but once you get over that the place is fantastic. Really friendly staff and food and beer were great. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had kids with us, sometimes with kids in tow servers aren't too excited to deal with their brand of chaos, but that wasn't the case at all. I'm looking forward to going back with adults only to sample more of their nice selection of beers. Great time.

I don't know. I'm beginning to think that I ate at a different place than everyone else. I went to Tin Lizzy's after sampling some of their fish tacos at the Taste of Atlanta and wasn't exactly jumping up and down when I went to the restaurant. It's a cute little set up - nothing fussy at all and accommodating for singles and groups. To me it appears that they appeal more to the drinking crowd, because I kept hearing how awesome their drinks were. I'm not a drinker, but I went for a repeat performance of the tacos served at the Taste. I have to say that I wasn't that impressed at all. I ordered a skillet and it was lukewarm and a mess. Think taco minus the shell. The fish taco that I so loved wasn't fried, but pan seared and underwhelming. I tasted more of the filling than the fish. In all, it was just ok. I've tasted better at other places.

Not impressed. The service was ok but the food was below average. Has the buffalo shrimp and chicken Cobb tacos. Buffalo shrimp was tangy but no heat at all. Chicken Cobb was not very flavorful. There are much better places in Atlanta for tacos.

I went to Tin Lizzy's Grant in Grant Park for the first time last night and I LOVE it way better than the one in Buckhead! Great atmosphere, wait staff was very friendly and the service was great. Food is only ok, can't really hate a $4 house margaritas!

I love this place. Plain and simple. I love the nachos, which seem to drizzled with some type of cinnamon/sweet stuff. It's different, but on top of a bucket (literally) of hot chips/nachos, it tastes absolutely amazing. The margaritas are excellent and they are cheap. You can get a number of different flavors. The service is pretty congenial/loose, the owner/manager is clearly all about service and guests as I have seen him go over and beyond to make sure ppl are enjoying their meals and receiving good service from the wait staff. I love how this place has like 15 different types of Tacos that you can get on the cheap- (ie Bbq chicken, Greek etc). I have probably had over 7 of the flavors...pretty much all of them are amazing. I LOVE THIS PLACE. On weekends, I have gone and they do live music. I saw one of the best damn bands I have ever seen at Tin Lizzys. They were doing acoustic music, but covering hip hop songs. It was amazing. Yes, please.

Came here for some Americanized tacos last week; it's always a good go-to for some decent grub. Good margs and decent service, along with one of my favorite patios. We sat on the patio overlooking the cemetery, despite the looming storm clouds, but alas it started pouring buckets and we were forced inside. Staff was very accommodating to move the full patio inside. Only downside was the broski singing acoustic blends of John Mayer and Marvin Gaye. Maybe it was just me, since the bar patrons seemed to enjoy his beat boxing acoustic style... Nevertheless, I'm sure to be back in the next few months.

The nachos are awesome!!! Especially on Tuesdays when a 1/2 plate is only $2!!! Huh????? Yeah, I said it!!!!!! $2 nachos & $2 Miller Lites, now that's my idea of Happy Hour :) For a few bucks extra, add in chicken, shrimp, guac or whatever else suits your fancy and create your own Happy Hour! :)

Drinks good, reasonably Priced. Food is in the middle. Basics, not gourmet or even authentic. Good to chill with friends and enjoy the guac

I stayed away from Tin Lizzy's for awhile because the feedback I heard from various friends was schizophrenic. Some loved it, some said they would never go back and you Yelpers ranged from meh, to hated it to doing the happy dance so fear and uncertainty spawned. Tin Lizzy's was suggested for the location of a date due to the beautiful relationship between gorgeous weather and rooftop decks. I was still a bit hesitant about giving Tin Lizzy's a shot but I caved and thought "Hell, I'll finally be able to Yelp the place" so off we went. We waited for a table at the nice roomy bar downstairs. I felt a bit of deja vu as memories of visits to the old Six Feet Under location came flooding in...I shook that feeling and ordered another beer. With growling stomachs we ordered nachos topped with BBQ chicken, black beans and a crap load of queso. I thought this was an appetizer...so when our server brought them out I almost fell out of my chair. What a HUGE portion! The portion size wasn't really a good thing because the chips got all soggy. We picked off the yummy BBQ chicken toppings, scooped up some soggy chip carnage but ultimately left a mound of mush almost untouched. Next time I'm going to ask for the queso on the side...not that I really need to be eating nachos that often. I did save room for a fish taco ( which I think their menu says is famous...Hmmmm) It was pretty darn yummy but I wish they offered blacked fish as a choice though. I like the fried but it isn't very healthy and I had just eaten lots of soggy chip like things soaking up queso so I was already feeling guilty. All in all, the food was very average. The service and atmosphere on the other hand were D-E-L-I-G-H-T-F-U-L! Our server rocked the house. She was upbeat, fun, attentive, enjoyed our general smart assiness and really made our evening great. The other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves too which culminated into a positive atmosphere. To wrap it up, Tin Lizzy's is a porch weather go-to spot where you can enjoy the weather, have good drinks, and hang with the awesome staff. If you get hungry while you are there and need to nosh...its ok for that too but you probably won't be drawn here by the food alone. I wish Yelp offered seasonal ratings. I'd give this place 4 stars for Spring, Summer and Fall and likely a two in the Winter. Hence this 3 star review.

Stopped in here on a Friday night and it was pretty packed. Parking is not a-plenty in front of the restaurant but there are free lots on the side street. We had to wait about 20min but me and the mbff had lots to chat about so it went by quick. The purpose was to drink and talk, so we started off with a pitcher of the house margarita....yea boi, it was on point and hella potent! We ordered some guac to go with the chips which was kinda dry, and the chips...hmmm, not sure what kind of salt covered them; reminded me of a southwestern rub for meat. I picked over the chips to find some naked ones :). I wasn't a fan of the salsa, chunky but very little flavor. The Veggie taco was really good, the Baja Chicken taco, toooo salty (but take THAT with with a grain of salt b/c I don't cook with much salt)! As far as atmosphere goes, its a full of energy and the music started to get better as the night progressed...or maybe it was b/c PYT was playing and I was getting faded :-) Attentive service as well!

What they lack in authenticity, they make up for with jalapenos. Alright, how best to review this place? I could review as the California native who was raised on REAL Mexican food since birth, which would be accurate. I lived on Mexican food for the first several years after high school, that's eating it every day and I could easily do it again. Or, I could review the place in the reality it has built for itself, as a Mexican joint in the South. Tough one. All I can say is it wasn't bad. Don't go here and think in any way that this is Mexican, because it isn't even close. Just because you put tortilla strips on something doesn't make it Mexican.And queso (cheese) dip isn't in any way mexican either but white people seem to think it is. Some of my more traveled friends would often say, "don't bother going for Mexican food anywhere in the rest of the world" as a warning, in the event I find myself outside of California and as my temporary asylum in Oregon and my trips to Atlanta have proven, they are right. But it was tasty enough and they had a bar which can make up for the lack of variety. I'd give them 3 stars except I have to rate them based on the fact that they call themselves 'Mexican', which is misleading so 2 it is because it was decent enough not to deserve only one.

Excellent and friendly service but the food was just... not very good. And I like to eat, so I really wanted to like it. Everything was just sooooo salty. I really don't understand why people rave about this place... wait a minute - yes I do. Now that I think about it, everyone who ever raves about this place also talks about DRINKING there. We all know once people get a few drinks in, they'll eat pretty much anything and think it tastes good. Just ask the McDonald's staff on Ponce about Saturday nights at 3am. With any new restaurant, I like to order a bunch of different things so I can really sample the food. What I don't eat, I just box up and take home. My point is, I didn't take anything home, and between two people we ordered 6 different kinds of tacos, salsa, queso, chips, and fried pickles. Boo. I really wanted to like you, Tin Lizzy's! You're in my 'hood!

Tin Lizzy's in Grant Park is superb! Obviously, if you are looking for authentic Mexican go to a Mexican restaurant, but if you are looking for some tasty American-Mexican fusion cuisine they hit the mark. My wife and I started with the Salsa Verde. It was very tasty. The chips also come with a nice seasoning as an added bonus. For the main meal we split three tacos and a half skillet. Our server told us a half skillet would be plenty, and he was right. For the tacos we tried Greek, Fish, and Baja. I probably wouldn't order the Baja again, but the other two were fantastic. I just wasn't crazy about the Baja seasoning, but that is only my opinion. I'm sure others might love it. The skillet was the highlight for me. We ordered the buffalo chicken based on a Yelp review, and the recommendation was right. If you like buffalo chicken the mix with rice, cheese sauce, veggies, and crispy tortilla strips is the way to go. We also tried the margaritas - house, grapefruit, and cranberry. They were all very strong, which is a plus when ordering mixed drinks. The grapefruit stood out (it had also been recommended by our server), but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the selections. Also, a guy that introduced himself as an operating partner gave us the chips and dip on the house since it was our first visit. I will be back here often! The atmosphere was nice, the food was great, the drinks were unique, and the staff was outstanding. It is rare to find such a great combination.

Ehhhhh, I've been here three times and....probably won't make it a fouth. There chips are salty, they have a late night menu but its not much to choose from and their drinks really aren't that strong. Its more of a place to be seen or sit out on the rooftop patio. Dont care for the way they prepare their chicken tacos as they have them cut up in huge chunks and that reminds me of the cafeteria food processed chicken they serve in elementary school or something. The service is hit or miss. Go to check out the patio if you want, but be prepared for a long wait, and typically outside on the benches because the bar stays full, of East Atlanta locals typically.

I definitely need to update this as they have more healthier options (read less things fried and coated in gluteney goodness) now and I found out their tortilla chips are made of corn. So yes, I can eat more there now. I met with the owner (or one of?), who was interested in doing more gluten free options because the crowd in Grant Park seems a lot healthier than the Buckhead crowd. However, I haven't heard back from him - hopefully me saying something here will give him a little extra push. C'mon Andy, I know you can do it! **If you're not on their mailing list - you are definitely missing out! As a note, they will never be 5 stars because I always feel like there's a party going on in here. I want to go and have dinner - not dine with 20 of my rowdiest friends. So we typically get there before 6 so we can get out before the noise level goes from annoying to obnoxious.

Melinda P.

I finally tried Tin Lizzy's after the recommendation of many friends. Delicious! The fried chicken taco and hamburger taco are like comfort food goodness wrapped up in a soft tortilla shell- yum! The prices were very reasonable and despite our server having been set 6 times at once, he was very attentive and efficient. Definite recommend!

Angela Y.

Just adding my star back....Spent Friday night here, the service was awesome and as always the margaritas tasty -- Tried the mango margarita for the first time and FELL IN LOVE. I like to add that although I love this place, I've never understood the concept of waiting 45mins (+) for a table here...its not that serious. My 5 stars are based on the things I always get here...steak skillets, the fried cheesecake, great service, drinks with friends and MARGARITAS!!

With my Half-Off Depot gift certificate in-hand, the hubby & I decided to take in some roof top views over a few 'ritas and some tacos on the rooftop of Tin Lizzy's Friday night. We showed up early enough that we were able to snatch one of the last tables up top. We were looking for a super easygoing evening, so when 5 minutes had passed & no server had come by to greet us & take drink orders we weren't too pissed. After 10 minutes, the mood had changed. I was grumpy. I had to practically trip him on his way to the register to even get him to take notice of us & shove our drink order down his throat. He didn't even apologize, he just kept making excuses. I wanted to be like "dude, we're your customers not your boss. Shape up the attitude or ship out. It's 6:30 on a Friday & I'm thirsty!" I know what it's like to be a server & be in the weeds... the feeling is fresh. However, the rule is keep the drinks filled & smile/charm your way through it, or sacrifice the majority of your tip. Either our dude was new, or he's in the wrong industry because he sucked. Aside from the shitty service, the queso dip with the spicy sausage was delicious and the margaritas were cheap & strong. The tacos were decent. I did the bbq shrimp & the baja chicken, both above average. I liked that I could go with the wheat option on the tacos too. Overall the highlight was the atmosphere, followed by the food... If the service hadn't been so horrendous then Tin Lizzy's would've been looking at 4-stars. They should feel lucky I didn't dip to 2. The service was seriously really one of the worst I have ever experienced. I think if I went back & he were my server, I would ask to be reseated. They need to make this kid a dishwasher or show him the door.

There's not a whole lot more that I like about Mexican restaurants and cantinas than "Fall off the House" Margaritas and bottomless chips and salsa. Add trivia to that on Wednesdays. They have tons of tacos to choose from, and its only somewhat bordering on overwhelming. When I have gone, the service has been good, the margaritas even better, and the bathrooms are clean. If you read any of my reviews you might know... I'm not a fan of the nasty nasty that public bathrooms can turn into. *coughDarkHorsecough* I had to walk it out when I was finished with dinner though. Obviously I had eaten too much, like I always do when I'm eating Chinese or Mexican. Lucky for me and my table- our waitress brought us some Tums. And that is awesome. The only thing I don't like about Tin Lizzy's is that parking is a monster...as are the folks hanging out on Memorial. Other than that, I had the Buffalo Shrimp taco (very good) and the Tilapia ( "healthier choice" ) which was also tasty. Unfortunately I might have gorged myself on chips and margaritas too much to fully enjoy it.

Well, jeez. My girlfriend and I just moved to Cabbbagetown from Maine, and we dig it already after just one week. We eat out a lot and look forward to many food adventures around the city. Since we live close to Tin Lizzy's we thought we gotta check it out. It looked kinda crowded one night we drove by so the next day (Sunday) we went to try it out. There was not a single customer inside the place on this frigid Sunday. We chalked it up to the freezing temperatures and the fact that is hard to get up and dressed on such a crappy, cold day. The interior was goofy, 70's, TGIF-style kitsch, with license plates and dusty flea market stuff everywhere. To me, this is not a good sign. I've experienced lots of this kind of decor before, along with the fried cheese sticks and dated cheap beer and flat soft drinks that usually follow. Seems odd that anyone owning a place like this would not make an effort to be relatively modern and hip, and maybe research what other places are doing in town. We sat down, with a cheesy classic rock radio station playing in the background, why not good Latin or Mexican ranchera playing, I don't know. We wanted to order a couple advertised Bloody Mary's - but we didn't realize that in Georgia, it's Sunday and they can't serve alcohol before 11 am. The server asked if we wanted chips and salsa, we did, but holy crap!! I would not have agreed if I had known the salsa costs 3 bucks! What the heck is that? Charging people for banal and bland salsa at a Mexican themed restaurant? Insane and cheap! I was starting to feel really annoyed right off the bat, and we did not even order any food yet. What next, charge us for water? We ordered some skillet breakfast concoction that was mildly amusing and obviously made with a little contempt. 9 bucks for a pan of 4 ingredients mixed together in lukewarm skillet is not high excitement. I'm sorry to be so pessimistic. I'm a professional chef and I don't expect most places to do anything exceptional or special. I like simplicity and I like simple food done well. It's not rocket science. You just gotta like what you do, that's all. Well, this place does not and it seems like they are very tired of what they are doing. Not a very good experience for 35 bones, that's for sure. I am tired of mediocrity and half-assed attempts of places trying to convince us they are unique and worth the time and expense of eating there. So, don't even give these guys the time it takes just to be disappointed and let down. There are too many places that like what they do and are way better. Go there instead.

Roof top bar is an awesome atmosphere on the weekends. Great place for a first date. Margaritas are the showcase here and they have a pretty large selection of beers. They have about 20+ different kinds of tacos and the trick is to go with the wildest sounding ones because those are the ones packed with flavor. Got my hands on a bbq chicken and goat cheese quesadilla one time and it was definitely enjoyable. Come out for the drinks and tacos and stay for the ridiculous hipsters.

Travis M.

I really love Tin Lizzy's - from the delicious and reasonably priced House Margarita's to the perfectly seasoned chips and queso - I don't think I've ever had anything I don't like here! Throw in some gift cards from halfoffdepot and its a great experience! If you haven't tried to greek taco, you should. It's easily my favorite thing on the menu with the buffalo chicken taco a close second! When the weather is nice the roof top patio really ties the whole experience together.

TIn Lizzy's first impression of the place was , it was small and crowded for the large group we had. There was a very long wait for a table. When we were seated, the waitstaff were very attentive and took our orders right away. We had four pitchers of Margarita and two ptchers of Sangria. Most people at my table ordered nachos or tacos, I tried the sizzler which is a skillet ( a half order). Th food was good and I was stuffed off of the half order I had. Most that had the nachos couldn't knock a dent in them ( they could serve two). Really good inexpensive place to have good food and don't forget the drinks.

I think it is very unprofessional and dishonest when a restaurant server adds an additional tip to a credit card bill when you clearly leave a cash tip and write on said check "Cash". I also think it is very dishonest for said restaurant to put the tip charge through without reviewing the signature and the full amount on the receipt. It gets even worse when you call said restaurant REPEATEDLY disputing this charge and each time you receive a flippant answer that still does not equate to giving you your money back. First manager apologizes but never returns my money TWO WEEKS LATER. The second manager promises to call me back and never does and third manager, (filled clearly with BS) asks me to get my bank involved on a dishonest tip charge, really, my bank, what a stupid suggestion. I don't care how good your food is, this is a bunch of bull. If you eat here, take cash, or be ready for insane dishonesty and crookedness on the total amount of your tab. Yes, and managers feel free to comment and remember how I asked you ever so politely to correct this error and you didn't.

This is the definition of a dive. No rhyme or reason to the personalities or demographics the descend on this crappy little bar. BUT, they serve fairly decent food and cold beer late. Sometimes that's better than charming.

Tin Lizzy's is good. I end up being here, well, a lot. Maybe too much. It's actually my boyfriend's favorite casual restaurant to go to - so we end up here anywhere from one to three times a week. One thing for sure is that the service and quality is consistently good. Yes, you have to pay three dollars for the chips and salsa. Although not the standard by other Tex-Mex type restaurants, it's actually fair. I prefer it, because if I want to eat light and healthy than I would rather not have a big bowl of chips tempting me. The salsa is tasty, I love the seasoning on the chips. And they give you a lot! I'm not a huge fan of the tacos. I find tacos in general difficult to eat. I do appreciate that they have whole-wheat shells to help make up for the fact, that well, you are eating a taco after all. For lunch I'll often get the cup of chicken tortilla soup (amazing - love the fresh avocado, lime, and cilantro) and a fish taco. They also have a new "fit menu" - mostly of grilled items. It's not really anything that's not on the menu already, but again I do appreciate the thought of eating healthy. The reason we come here so often is for the skillet. It's amazing, and filling. It either comes as a whole skillet or half. The buffalo chicken is the way to go. It comes with rice, corn, onions, peppers, tasty chicken, and queso. Not a fan of having the salsa come on top of it though - they didn't always have it that way. It's a good dish, and well slightly addictive. The service has always been awesome. Friendly waiters who you can make conversation with. A good place to go meet up with friends, have some drinks, chow down on the chips, and indulge in the skillet!

All right, Tin Sleazies, you won my heart ;) We have gone back a few times since my first review, and ever since then there has been lots of great food offerings, the margaritas are dangerously strong and if you can get a seat on the deck, its pretty much perfect. Love that you can get whole wheat tortillas and grilled fish / shrimp.

My boyfriend & I went to lunch and drinks there this afternoon. I got the "top of the house margarita" was wow!! To eat being from Texas I am picky about my Tex Mex, the shrimp Cobb tacos where great! So from a Texas girl born and raised this is a pretty cool place to have drinks, eat, & talk. Also the service was excellent felt like I knew everyone, that is huge because I just moved here:-)

The pomegranate margaritas are, in fact, as dangerous as everyone says. Don't think you can get away downing the majority of a pitcher on your own and live to tell about it. Well, you'll live, but that'll be after a 2 and a half hour mid-evening nap/pass out and about 3 giant glasses of chugged water. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. The guacamole is, however, divine.

One Friday at about 11:00 a.m. I'm sitting at my desk typing away and it hits me, "Tin Lizzy's Margaritas" I grab my phone and send out a few text messages and the rest of the day goes by in a blur with the thought of cool margaritas, fries and laughs with mi amigas on my brain. This place is usually packed so we get there early to make sure we get our favorite spot. I'm a little disappointed that they don't serve fries here, and more so disappointed that when you order tater tots you get like 4 (it's a tease I tell ya). Now for the margaritas. There aren't enough words to express how much I love these. They are freaking amazing and they bring out my frisky side ;-). I like this place because although it's always crowded there's never any drama, everyone seems to get along (I think we always get the random person at our table chatting it up with us), the band is awesome and seems to cater to us (since we're usually the only ones singing along), I have yet to have a server that isn't attentive to our needs. So if you're ever at Tin Lizzy's on a Friday look for the lady that's WAY too happy, singing, laughing, and picking off of other peoples plates and say Hi!!

Americanized. Wait staff was okay, but slow on most everything. Lunch crowd is treated with the typical "get in get out" attitude. Dinner was okay but nothing memorable about it. Very cafeteria kind of feel. Sorry guys wish I had something better for you. If I every walk back in I might check out there drinks, but I'm not holding my breathe there.

Strike #1 "what... you mean I have to pay for salsa and chips?" "But we're at a mexican resturant??" Strike #2 "So I just paid $3 for salsa/chips, now I gotta pay $3 for each taco I want?" Strike #3 "Why the hell are these tacos so damn small?" "let's get the hell outta here, I'm still hungry and 1/2 way broke. let's go next door to six feet under" I went to this place the first week it opened. Living at the mattress factory, it was very convenient. It really wasn't busy, but obviously no one told the waiter this. B/c he rarely was visible at our table. When he did visit, he graced us with his rudeness and a very big chip on his shoulder. I was so excited to taste their fried fish tacos: Tilapia w/ poblano tartar, pickled jalapenos and crisp lettuce. I have to admit, they were good. Just not good enough for $2.89 each. They should call these mini-tacos. I didn't even know they sold tortilla shells this small! I also had a southwest BLT: Bacon, lettuce, red ripe tomatoes, and chipotle mayo and a fried chicken taco: fried chicken w/ lettuce and honey chipotle sauce Now, I'm a pretty petite girl, but I can eat. But after an order of salsa, fried pickles and 5 tacos, i was still hungry and not impressed by Tin Lizzy's "gourmet" tacos I won't be going back

My friend and I love to have lunch here. $4 margaritas and shrimp nachos keep us coming back. Discovered the patio today too which is a delight in nice weather!

Good place to drink, and the tacos are cheap and tasty. I'm not sure if I like this location as much as the Piedmont Rd. one, but it has been some time since I've been over there. They have gotten skimpy with that powder they put on their chips that make them so amazing though. The last several times I went there was hardly any.

Kristine M.

This place was fantastic! Our server Mandy was top notch - she not only remembered our drinks, she remembered our names. We were just there to get our drink on, but I perused the menu and I'll definitely be back to try out the food. I must mention that I was having too much fun with the jukebox. The more money you put in, the more credits you get. For one credit, you get your song, for two you get it played next. My musical selections did not please everyone (although I'm convinced a lot of people secretly like Europe's The Final Countdown). However, the person who put Depeche Mode to play next played right into my hands. Hahaha.

My sister and I dined at Tin Lizzy's on an uncommonly warm winter day, enjoying the opportunity to sit on the upper-level deck, leaning back in the sun, ogling Oakland Cemetery. We began our lunch with an order of chips and spinach cheese dip. While I was disappointed that Tin Lizzy's doesn't offer diners complimentary chips, I must say these were wonderfully seasoned and soared above and beyond the typical chip. The sis and I both ordered two tacos, the fried fish (tilapia, Poblano tartar, jalapeÃ±os and iceberg lettuce shreds) and the buffalo shrimp (fried shrimp, a so-so sauce, shredded iceberg). The food took forever to arrive--had the tacos been delicious, I wouldn't have been disappointed. In fact, a random waitress wandered around the entire deck, asking if our tacos belonged to each table. Finally, she delivered our food. Anyway, the shrimp taco contained three pieces of shrimp; similarly, the fish taco cradled a scant amount of tilapia. Six Feet Under, just down the street, offers much more phenomenal, substantial tacos. I have to say that I prefer the Buckhead location, since the service is better, and I remember the food being better.

If could give them 6 stars...I totally would! The owner and staff are fantastic!!! I totally got the VIP experience and had a great time! Andy and Mack...you two are the best! It's not very often when you truly experience excellent customer service. Upon arriving, I was told that my party had to wait 30 min for a table, but that we could go to the bar and score a round of drinks on behalf of them! When 30 min passed by and we were still not seated, they offered us a free basket of chips and queso while we wait an additional 10 min! While I was waiting, I was able to meet the managers, owner, marketing manager, bartenders (ask for Zack!), etc... Everyone was very friendly and really made me feel at home. (Oh and thank Mack for trying to auction me off...haha!) The food is really good! My favorites are the queso, black beans and rice, and the half-salad topped with shrimp. Favorite tacos are the buffalo shrimp and the spicy bbq shrimp. The food is fairly priced and equally as tasty. Definitely a much needed establishment for the neighborhood and since its opening last week, I have already been there 5 times...can we say ADDICTED!? :)

It's tough to find a place where you can bring in a group of 12 teenagers and have the staff not totally freak out. This place is great. Even though they don't take reservations, I had given them a heads-up we were coming and they were ready. The food was really good with the menu diverse enough that everyone could find something they would eat. The separate charge for all the sides and such was a bit confusing, but not a deal breaker. Needs more parking!

nachos with flavor + margaritas out the wazoo + different types of tacos = aw yeah tacos yeah!!! do they serve authentic tacos? no. but what they do serve are tacos with flare... at least 15 pieces of flare. margaritas are flavorful and get the job done nicely. bring a date here for something casual and fun. i brought your mom... we sat on the patio.

Mercedes H.

Went here with my mom because she said the food was amazing... I'm starting to realize my mom doesn't know good Mexican... We started off with the queso cheese dip which was thick... I have tasted way better queso dip from other places please don't believe the hype... For my entree I got the steak quesadilla and a steak taco... The steak was awful it looked like pot roast... It wasn't a marinated grilled steak which is what I love when I go to Mexican restaurants... This restaurant failed miserably... Go at your own risk...

Mediocre. We went for trivia night and the tacos were fine. I'd eat them again. Everybody was jammed in due to the crowds and the waitress would dissappear for days on end..... I am not compelled to revisit

Warning: Do NOT come to Tin Lizzy's if you have any sort of a time frame, schedule, or somewhere that you feel you'd like to be in say 1-2 hours. The service is sloooooowww. I have been to Tin Lizzy's twice and I have to say the food is great! For some reason I wasn't expecting much and they really surprised me. Everything we had was good, fresh, and they have a pretty decent range of choices on their menu. We went for nachos to start (which are HUGE ) and then tried an assortment of tacos, grilled fish, buffalo, shrimp, bbq shrimp, and all were very tasty. That said the service is almost comically slow. The first visit, our waiter would disappear for 15-20 minutes at a time, it took about 15 minutes to get our margaritas from the bar a mere 30 feet away, and he even disappeared with our cards to far too long. Luckily we weren't in a rush but there were times when we were left needing something with no waitstaff in sight. The second time we went we waited 10 minutes after being seated, before our waitress even came to the table, no water, no drinks, nothing, just sitting. What was worse was that all the waitstaff was leisurely chatting around the hostess stand while we waited. We had to actually remind someone that we were there. Awful. I am hoping the third time will be a charm, and we'll get both the great food and at least decent service.

I went back for trivia the other night and actually ate dinner here. I ordered a philly cheesesteak taco and a spicy cilantro steak taco and both were AWESOME. The Hornitos bucket margarita is awesome. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is because the waitress gave us a free margarita because it was an extra and it was really not good compared to the hornitos. They must be using some CHEAP ASS tequila in the regular margaritas. Also, the 2 times I've been there, the temperature varies wildly. In one part of the restaurant, you swelter. In another part, you freeze. I guess I'd rather be cold than hot, but I don't really get cold so for me to be cold, it must have been really, really cold in the section we were sitting in.

Tonight was opening night for Tin Lizzy's in Grant Park and I must say that they clearly got the word out! The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived at 6:30 and was only getting busier as we ate. Located in the old Six Feet Under location on Memorial, this is the second Tin Lizzy's location in Atlanta. I admit I've never been to the one in Buckhead but if it's as good as this I may have to try it when I'm close by and need a little taqueria love. We started with the Three Amigo's sampler, which includes the choice of one of three salsas (smoky, fresca, verde), guac, and queso, and we quite enjoyed it. The guac was well spiced and had large avocado chunks in it, which made me happy, and the queso was standard fare (fine by us), but the smoky salsa was a bit of a surprise. It wasn't smoky like No Mas' salsa and perhaps that's what we were expecting, but instead it was salty & smoky rather than sweet & smoky and is a green salsa where we were expecting a red. It was still a good start, if a little bit pricey at $12 for the app. I moved on to have one each of the fried fish, veggie, and grilled steak tacos. All were very good with my favorite definitely being the fried fish (which the menu mentions is their "best seller"). I noticed the beans and rice in the veggie taco were a tad undercooked, but it was opening night and they were hopping so I think that's to be expected. My husband had the philly cheesesteak, southwest chicken club, and santa fe steak tacos and loved them. He says he's going to try the fried fish, but with how much he enjoyed what he tried we'll see when that finally happens! Last, but definitely not least, the staff and service was outstanding. A man who appeared to be running the front of the house accidentally bumped into me on my way in and apologized profusely. He did hit me kind of hard and (sigh) right in some of my lady parts, but it was clearly an accident and I wasn't too worried about it. He stopped by our table several times thanking us for coming in, making sure our meals were satisfactory, and apologizing again. We thought that was very nice, but then he went above and beyond and offered to comp the app, which he more than did when he took our check a few minutes later. Long story short everyone from the people up front, to our server, to the people busing the tables, to that guy (who may have been a manager or owner) were friendly, fast, and more than accommodating. All in all it will be great to have Tin Lizzy's close by, we had a very good experience tonight, and it was exciting to see so many cars (between Tin Lizzy's and Six Feet Under down the road) in the neighborhood at dinner time. We'll definitely be going back and are looking forward to trying them for takeout!

I prefer the Tin Lizzy's on Crescent. Drinks were decent, staff were great (and the host or manager-whatever he is) is hot. But no outdoor area and the music was waaaay too loud.

Tin Lizzy's is great as long as you can get in and sit down. The mirrors in the back always trick me and make me think it's much bigger than it's actual size. (boys take note) The food is very decent priced and out of this world! i love cilantro so anything I get they are sure to pile it on for me. Bloody Mary's here are excellent and always served just the way I like them. (little spice, extra alcohol) Although the parking is sometimes horrendous, I really enjoy coming here whenever i can.

Matt C.

it took me a few visits to come around to liking tin lizzy's. i'm really not a fan of the 'gourmet taco' thing, with ingredients that really just don't belong on a taco. i appreciate an inventive menu as much as the next person, but in my opinion, tacos shouldn't ever have fried chicken or blue cheese dressing on them. but hey, some people really like that kind of thing.. it's just not for me. however, when i first came here, i was told that i 'have to try' some of the stranger sounding a la carte tacos, so i proceeded to try to the majority of the menu over the next several visits, and left pretty unsatisfied (albeit full) each time. finally i found my go-to meal here, and i haven't strayed since: the santa fe steak tacos. they are delicious, and i highly recommend them. fried pickles are a strange appetizer for a mexican-themed place, but are pretty good here, and cheap to boot. their salsa is consistently very good, which i wouldn't expect, and queso blanco/fundido and margaritas are always solid. out of all their locations, i definitely like this one best.

I was very happy to see that Tin Lizzy's kept much of 6FU's decor... if it worked for them, why not the stannous reptile that made its way to my neck of the woods. The bar is still very spacious, and the staff were extremely friendly. I think 3 of them introduced themselves to me within 30 minutes, and at least a couple remembered my name hours later...something comes to mind ( youtube.com/watch?v=FD8lâ€¦ ). The beer selection was very good as well. With draft options between PBR and Anchor Steam, they should be able to suite all who imbibe. I had two tacos: The fish, and steak. Both were very tender, tasty, and hot..maybe too hot on the steak. Not spicy, but burn your tongue hot. Oh well, it was still extremely good. Its on my way home so I envision myself stopping here often, and will post updates as needed. Welcome to the neighborhood, oh metallic one.

Wallace S.

Tin Lizzy's food may just be the definition of Americanized Tex-Mex. Where else can you get a Gyro Taco? As a Texan, I should be offended, and truthfully, I don't go for the food. Their rooftop is great, though, the place is consistently busy, and the drinks are strong and cheap. That's pretty much all I ask for in a happy hour spot, and Tin Lizzy's delivers in spades.

Tin Lizzy's has the best Tacos, hands down. The santa fe chicken or steak is awesome. The margaritas are AWESOME. and the roof top patio is perfect for a summer day. I love this place. Seriously.

I'm glad that there's now an in-town location! Stopped by last night and had a great time. Same great atmosphere as the Buckhead location, but a lot more space! Danny and Zach were working the bar and were lots of fun. The crowd was great, as was the live music. Not sure of the guys name, but he played a great acoustic guitar set. My chicken skillet was great - glad that it's consistent with the Buckhead location. Can't go wrong with the frozen house margaritas, either. I'm hoping to hit up their Wednesday trivia night in the near future - Tuesday trivia at the Buckhead location was always a blast!

Laura N.

The trio of dips - guacamole, queso, and salsa - very good and fresh. generous portions of each dip. The chips are outstanding and mildly spiced! Fish taco - small and tasty. The fried fish reminded me of Wendy's premium fish sandwich. Half skillet with avocado - about half an avocado with a ton of melted queso cheese over rice, onions, peppers, etc. Very good. The rice was too hard, but cheese-lovers would enjoy this dish. Seating is a bit cramped, but the food is affordably priced and very tasty.

Stella T.

I'm impressed. My friend, a Sangria fanatic, suggested we meet here yesterday in lieu of another local place we typically frequent when she insists on drinking Sangrias on Sunday (SOS). Anyway, I arrived a few minutes early and sat at the bar when I was promptly greeted by the bartender, who introduced herself and asked my name before even asking me for my drink order. Seriously?! That was totally cool and instantly lightened my mood, as I had been up early that morning rushing to prepare a presentation for work, and pissy that I had a last minute deadline dumped on me Friday night. Done with all that "fun", I was ready to chill and have a few drinks. This Tin Lizzy's has that relaxed and friendly vibe (far different from all my experiences at their Buckhead location, which felt more like a meat market on the Friday nights I'd go to happy hour with a few coworkers). When my friend arrived, she was also quickly served and had a $4 Sangria in a pint glass. I'm not a fan of the stuff, but she gave them the "thumbs-up" and ordered at least 3. As an aside, I don't particularly care about menu prices because it's never a deal-breaker if I really like the place. But it is refreshing that Tin Lizzy's kept the food AND drink prices mostly cheap (comparatively speaking). Wasn't really hungry, but I decided to order a chicken taco with no expectation that it would be anything special. It just so happened to be pretty damn good, so I look forward to trying some of the other taco choices on future visits. Overall a good first time experience. In addition to the staff being friendly, the other local guests we talked to were equally cool. We had a relaxed good time, nothing crazy. Something about this place has a beachy / Florida-type feel to it that I'm totally down with - the only thing that would've made the experience more relaxed is an ocean across the street. Whatever, I'll settle with a view of the cemetery, nothing's perfect.

Don't go in here expecting it to be a Mexican restaurant, it isn't even close. It's a cool bar that happens to serve southwestern-ish cuisine. Everything I've had on the menu has been great, I definitely recommend the Philly Taco and the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla. Their Buffalo sauce is magnificent, I wish they had wings as well. The staff is very friendly and if you hang out long enough, you will almost certainly be served a free kamikaze.

Beautiful porch, great for drinks, but I've never had amazing food or service at Tin Lizzy's. I am writing this review more as a reminder to myself that I don't like it...and a reminder to the rest of you whose friends attempt to get a big group of people together for lunch and say "Tin Lizzy's!" like it's a place that people go for delicious food and great times and high-fiving. No one goes there except you, drunk friend who shall go unnamed.

Tin Lizzy's Cantina also located in Grant Park adjacent to Ria's Bluebirds. This Mexican restaurant is full of charm and big portions. We shared a half order of the fried jalapenos appetizer. Luckily we ordered a half because there was more than enough in our cute little tin bucket. My co-workers each ordered the nachos. A single order of nachos should really be shared by two people. I went with the buffalo chicken and black bean quesadillas. O.M.G!!!!!!! It was fantastic. This will be a definite after hours return visit for me as I would love to sample a tasty adult beverage with my meal next time.

Having remembered my lunch visit to this place and wanting to come back at night sometime, I brought the hubby here on a cool fall night when we were craving tacos and margaritas. We had a great time on the upstairs patio, thoroughly enjoyed our variety of tacos and especially loved the margaritas. We also tried the tequila lime cupcake for dessert and inhaled it in two bites. +1 star!

Was visiting my bff in ATL, we went to Ria's Bluebird for breakfast (great place by the way) and noticed Tin Lizzys and decided to come back the following day for lunch/dinner. So glad we did!!! This place was wonderful. To start....our waitress was very nice and told us her fav tacos which we loved too! We ordered the chips (best chips EVER!!!), the regular salsa and regular cheese dip. She gave us a warm bag full of chips to take home!!! I saved some for my plane ride home and they were still yummy. I ordered the Santa Fe Taco and a Veggie Taco, but very good. My friend ordered the fried fish taco, also good. I do not even like fish but i took a taste of her taco and liked it. Love the concept of ordering one or two tacos and not an entire meal. Prices were low, food great! Can not wait to visit ATL Tin Lizzy again. Maybe my friend will mail me some chips!

Overpriced, oddly seasoned chips and mediocre salsa. Cheese dip was decent. The fish taco was ok. The fajita steak taco was ok. On the small side. The pomegranat margarita was was good, but not effective, if ya know what I mean. The staff was very friendly, if not TOO attentive. A friend of mine got a to-go order from them and they called her an hour later to see how she liked it. While some folks may find that "good customer service!", I find it obtrusive and annoying. I live nearby and just don't see myself frequenting this place. But if I do, and it's good, I'll give a fair review. For now, it's just "Meh".

okay, so the service.. not the worst, but definitely not memorable.. the decor, completely wack the food, subpar (although im sure this could be attributed to my odd taco choices) all in all. sorry tin lizzys. it was only a one night stand.. at lunch. tex mex... only at nuevo laredo for me.

This Tin Lizzy location is in a transitional neighborhood with marginal parking. Six Feet Under moved out of this location to a nearby spot with MUCH better parking. I usually go for weekday lunch, so this is not as much of a problem as it could be at night. Tin Lizzy offers a variety of proteins (chicken, bacon, steak, barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, . . . ) in a variety of configurations (tacos, salads, the featured skillet with rice, cheese sauce, peppers, tortilla chip strands, . . . ). I usually get the bbq chicken in a full skillet, served in a cast iron frying pan. Quantities are generous, and even my healthy appetite cannot accomodate a regular skillet (half skillets are available) if I eat chips. There used to be a choice of three sauces with chips, skillets, etc, but now there is only red salsa. One would think that with such a well-organized menu, it would not be difficult for skilled chefs to crank out the orders. Apparently, I expect too much - service is very slow, almost too slow for people taking a lunch break from work. The admittedly delicious food would make up for the delay, except that it never comes out hot enough. Also, the chips seem like they came out of a bag and the salsa is overpowering with garlic and something else. Servers seem to turn over a lot, and service suffers as a result. Finally, $12 seems a bit much for chicken bits and rice. I'll be back for the yummy skillets, but I sure wish they'd clean up the rest of their act. Come on a cool spring or fall day for lunch and enjoy the roof when you're not in a hurry and you may love it. Otherwise, you may find it wanting in several respects. UPDATE: My concerns reached the ear of management. They took ownership of my issue and are working hard to turn me from an occasional customer into a loyal advocate. Impressive!

The top shelf margarita bucket is $12 and fantastic. The tacos are delicious, and the fried pickles and fried jalapenos also kick ass (shocking).

5 stars for the $15 pitchers of house margaritas alone. Incredible value and you can actually taste the tequila. The tacos are great and everything is so customizable(that's a word right?). Plus I always have great service at this location. I usually spend a good hour-2 hours there everytime I go. You can definately order some chips and salsa/margaritas and hang out without feeling pressure to keep ordering or leave. Super friendly.

Summer S.

I'd been craving guacamole for a week straight, so before I even walked into Tin Lizzy's, I knew what I wanted. I also got a taco because I wanted to try more than just their chips & dip and with such low prices I had no reason not to indulge. The guac, queso, and taco were all delicious. The restaurant was packed but they accommodated our table of five immediately, fitting us around a booth meant for four, with a warning us that our server had just seated a huge table so she may not get to us very quickly. I was prepared to have slow and brusque service all night but the waitress could not have been sweeter and more prompt. The live music was good and the TVs had great coverage of the NBC championship series game. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Melonie T.

Oh Tin Lizzy's, my go-to margarita joint, my place of infinite taco options...what went wrong?? On a dark and story night my husband and I stumbled into a semi-packed Tin Lizzy's. We were pleasantly surprised that after our estimated 20 minute wait time we were seated in under 5. The many margaritas I inhaled were delicious as were our usual fried pickles...but somewhere in the mix things went terribly wrong. We waited over an hour for our food- which apparently was lost as our server asked if we wanted our check before we had received any entrees. After the wait I was not going to walk out and get some drunk-and-drive through as my husband suggested. Nope. I was going to wait for my taco goodness. Instead I received some tacos which had sat in the warmer, obviously lost in the shuffle. I would say they were lost for a good long time as they were no longer tender and tasty. No. They were stale and less than appealing. I am sorry server. As a former server I know things can go wrong, but this was bad. I don't know whose fault it was or what happened, but it soured my love of Tin Lizzy's.

Good $4.00 margaritas! Ton's of yummy tacos to chose from under $4.00! The salsa, guacamole, queso trio is awesome and the service both times I've been has been rockin'. Glad to see something equally yummy take over six feet under's old spot.

Scenario: A "Catch-Up Dinner" with a good friend At 7:30 on a Thursday night, the place wasn't as crazy crowded as I'd worried it might be given that it just opened a week and a half ago and still kinda has that newness to it. The tacos were tasty (I happened to enjoy the veggie taco the most myself). The chips were crispy and seasoned well, but I think we enjoyed the salsa more than the queso. Margaritas were delicious but a little inconsistent, as I enjoyed the second marg much more than the first. The parking situation sucks, but it kinda comes with the territory of that building. The overflow parking is located around the corner off Oakland Ave (?) in a lot in a neighborhood. With no direct access and not a whole lot of lighting, I felt a little anxious being alone hiking up the hill and around the corner to get to the restaurant. I have to give our server Lydia muchos props though for (a) encouraging us to just chill and have a good time without the pressure of trying to push us out the door and (b) letting us know that there'd been some sketchiness going on in the 'hood (a recent mugging) and advising that my friend drive me to the overflow parking and wait to make sure I'd safely gotten squared away. The service was excellent, with the chips, salsa, drinks flowing all night and the employees checking in and making sure that we were having a great time. Overall, an awesome experience and my friend and I will definitely be back.

Went here on a Thursday night and it was full of people (which is good for a restaurant in this aching economy). We were seated right away. Front door staff was friendly, waitress was attentive and helpful. The owner stopped by our table to check on us and asked my son if he was okay. I had several of the soft tacos, the bbq shrimp and the blt. They were both yummy. I also had the tilapia salad which was just okay. The house margarita had kick and the prices were good. This place should do well, they have good food, good prices and good customer service. This might be a regular spot for me.

Kristin C.

I've been here twice with my friends now, and both times were excellent! Each waiter I had was attentive to our table despite having to deal with a packed house both nights. The only thing not enjoyable about this place is the somewhat sketchy parking lot around back, but the food makes it well worth the low risk of my car being broken into. Haha. I highly, highly recommend the fish tacos if you like spicy foods. (My best friend and I dream about these things.) I've also had the vegetarian tacos, and those were good too, but not on the same level as the fish ones since they seem a bit bland in comparison. The chips and salsa (and queso and guacamole) are great. They put some magic seasoning on the tortilla chips, and the salsa tastes fresh. Oh, also, this place is cheap, so you can load up on tacos and still walk away with a small bill.

Great spot to get brunch on Sunday with several big screen TV's for viewing football. I would suggest one of their egg skillets such as the delicious Greek skillet. it was really good...I mean what breakfast food isn't good at 1 pm on a Sunday. Service was quick and friendly.

I loved the tacos; some of the best I've ever had, actually. I had the spicy cilantro carne asada, the fried fish, and the Philly cheesesteak tacos. They each tasted amazing and very distinctive of each other, something you don't always get with Mexican cuisine. Guacamole tasted fresh but wasn't mixed very well and too bland for my taste. Queso was ok, salsa was good. The trio of dips called the three amigos was pricey, though at $13. I would say stick with chips and salsa. I'm just not used to paying so much for dips.

Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. This place makes me happy. Great margaritas, and the tacos are just out of this world. I love that you can just order a bunch of them and they're reasonably priced so when you're hungry you don't need to order 2 meals. And you should go hungry, cause you'll want to try all their different types. Which is a really cool thing about this place- they don't just do traditional tacos, they play around with different flavors. Also, they have an appetizer which offers 3 different salsas/dipping sauces and all 3 are very tasty.

Even though it feels weird eating anything but catfish and coleslaw at the old Six Feet Under space, I was extremely impressed with Tin Lizzy. Hard to think of a better deal on Margaritas anywhere in the area. Make sure and try the "3 Amigos" sampler to get a good mix of guacamole, salsa and cheese dip. I ate 3 of their specialty tacos and my favorite was the buffalo shrimp, but all were delicious. Great atmosphere, great food...you can't go wrong.

If you're looking for good food, good drinks, and good old fun this is the place!! I have been to all the Tin Lizzy's but this is by far my favorite one in Grant Park. The service is always great as well as the food. There is live music on weekends in the evenings which gives it a cool vibe. Check it out.

I'm really confused about the proliferation of Mexican restaurants in Grant Park, East Atlanta, etc. La Casita, Holy Taco, Blue Frog Cantina, Matador, Mi Barrio, and now Tin Lizzy (and formerly Zocalo and Taqueria Nayarit, plus some places down in Benteen Park like Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Restaurante). Why are there so many? I suppose I should disclose my leanings towards the restaurants I mentioned above, since that might give you a sense of how to read my review. My favorite place used to be Taqueria Nayarit (now Solstice), but I may be biased since some of my students' parents worked here (I was a teacher at Benteen). Nothing has really replaced Nayarit, but I go to La Casita regularly because it's close to my house and I like the food/drinks better than the other places in East Atlanta. I will patronize the other places with the exception of Blue Frog (I just don't like the food there). So this brings me to my review of Tin Lizzy. You'd think that a restaurant would have to be pretty damn good to open in an area with so many similar options. At least that's what I was hoping. I don't know if I was just in a bad mood the night I went, but I absolutely hated Tin Lizzy. I know the restaurant staff were trying to be friendly, but it came off as too in-your-face and not genuine at all. I think six different people asked me how my meal was, and really I would've just preferred my the attention of my waitress and no one else (the waitress was great, btw). I had one house margarita and it was so bad that I didn't even finish it. One of the six people who stopped by asked me if I'd like another one and even offered to give me a free one when I said no, and I still didn't want another one. The food was fine - nothing special but not bad - but overpriced. I didn't look at the menu that carefully and ended up paying like $7 for guacamole and chips. I probably would've given only one star, except that my husband liked his meal and his margarita (prickly pear, I think). I also think I'd give it another shot if I were with friends who wanted to go, and I reserve one-star ratings for places I wouldn't step foot into again.

They don't have frozen margaritas which is the first thing I want when I go to a mexican restaurant. They charge you for chips & salsa. They also want to charge 18% gratuity on take out orders. Not the best mexican spur but the greek is good.

Based on the reviews from the Buckhead resturant... I could'nt wait to try it! I was excited, but in the end felt it is a step above tourist trap tex mex food. Maybe it was my selections. The server was very much a "Buckhead" type, but nice. The frozen drinks were yummy, but the machine broke before I got another one. Maybe it was an off night....I'll try it again I'm sure.

I love the food but the service wasn't that good! Do NOT go on a Friday or Saturday! You will wait at least an hour. The margaritas are delicious. I will go again! In fact, i'm going back today!

To be completely honest - we only go here once a week for Trivia Night (on Weds), but it is still one of our favorites! I really like the fish tacos, either the spicy or the fried. The cole slaw is surprisingly good, and really the only non-fried vegetable. Margaritas are well made and not weak (and they come in bucket-sized, complete with a small souvenir bucket). Service is great if you sit in the bar area.

Very friendly staff and good inexpensive food! Fun place to go for trivia...just get there early to grab a seat near the bar!

i was with a big party and gratuity was added but didnt realized till i signed my credit card statement which i clearly scratched out after i was aware of it. to my surprise i see it for the full amount on my statement online the next couple days. called and talked to the manager (abby) explaining what all had happened and she said that she could clearly see the total amount and said the only way to remove it was to go through corporate. not only was she full of it but also really short with me. thats the last time ill go there for crap food.

I went to Tin Lizzys for the first time last night. It was really crowded and we had to wait 25 minutes for a table. I didn't like the fact that the table was so close to the window either but hey...what can you do. We had a great server, really attentive though I've never had a server sit down at the table with you to take your order. He also told us this long confusing story about first timers being made to wear a large sombrero and sing? Whatever....but he was great, always checking back, seeing how we were doing. I got the buffalo shrimp quesadillas which were great! I also got a mango margarita which was really good as well. My bf got the barbecued shrimp (or was it barbecued chicken) quesadillas and a raspberry margarita. The chips and queso were amazing too. I couldn't get over how the cheese stayed warm and cheesy the entire! Lol! All in all it was great, next time I would like to go when its not as crowded.

I went here this Saturday to meet a friend for a quasi-date. I'd never been here or even heard of it before, but I was very surprised. The whole atmosphere is casually cool AND it wasn't loud so we could actually hear one another talk! This place isn't pretending to be some upscale mainstream restaurant. It's good food, good drinks, cool staff. The manager continued to ask my friend and I if we were ok, if we needed anything, how everything was....but not in an invasive or annoying way. I felt like if there was something wrong, he would have fixed it. I will definitely be back for the pickled pear margaritas and chicken nachos!

I went to Tin Lizzy's last week. The food and margaritas were good along with the service. This spot has a great location and a rooftop view of downtown. If you are looking for a good time with reasonable prices, should try Tin Lizzy's.

went here on Saturday for a couple of margaritas and tacos. we got there around 4ish and noticed it was pretty busy at that time which was sort of surprising but good to see. we were seated right away and our waitress came right over. she was extremely friendly introducing herself and asking our names. she also asked if we had ever been to Tin Lizzy's before, we told her nope, first time. she was very helpful in going over the menu which was pretty extensive so i was happy to listen. she recommended some great margaritas (i had the mango on the rocks). then i said we wanted some chips and salsa which she then said she would throw in some queso on her, hey! great! she brought out the chips & salsa and queso that came in a small little metal tub, along with our margaritas. we ordered a few tacos and figured that would be enough food (and it was). steve had 2 tacos which was plenty for him and i had one. we both really liked our tacos and would come back for more. the chips were really good, they are seasoned with different spices which i had never had before. the salsa was pretty good but not as good as the queso. overall our experience was great from the service, to the drinks and then to the food.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
