Taqueria El Guero Smyrna — Restaurant in Smyrna

UPDATE

ON 2022 ITS GETTING EVEN WORSE

I like this places lot. It's fast and the food is good. Usually!! Sometimes they do mess.up.the orders. That come with the business I guess. So today I went and oder food to go. And paid an unusual higher price today. After eating I call the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I started talking to this guy very rude and told me that if I wanted cheaper food to go to eat at McDonald's. I called back and asked to speak to the manager and I told that he was busy, so I decide to go to the restaurant to speak to him since I was or live near by. I went in the restaurant and the cashier was very rude and told he was busy and was unavailable and I asked again to speak to the manager. He came out screaming and saying profanities and more and I stood there and his father the original owner came out and I explained that I was there only to voice my unhappiness for higher prices that I accounts for 30% increase. He said food it's expensive and what not. I understand and told him that I was only voicing my concern. I probably go back because is convenient and I like the food, but I am not very happy with the way the manager treated me and didn't made an apology, but his father did. AllI know if that young man take over the business it's going to destroy it in one...

I have been there a handful of times and the last and final time, I waited almost an hour for 2 quesadillas, menudo, and birria consume. When I addressed with the staff that I had not received my order, almost 40 minutes into my wait, they said it is coming. No apology, no explanation, just, “it’s coming” and proceeded to have me wait another 10 minutes. It seems that there isn’t a good system of processing orders. Because this isn’t the first time I’ve waited a long time but it was definitely the longest wait. The prices are a bit higher than average for the portion sizes. I don’t mind because I am all for supporting local business and the food that I have tried has been pretty decent. On the other hand, my time is valuable and long wait times for take out to me is unacceptable when you can clearly see people that ordered after you get their food and be long gone as...

Pros: Best tacos in the Smyrna area. The carnitas are some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is simple and their prices are on par with a typical taqueria, but the tacos are way better than the usual. They use the small #10 tortillas (the tortillas appear to be made fresh) so you can try a lot of tacos before you get too full. Get an assortment - try the buche! The salsa bar is tidy and you'll find all the usual suspects there. I've only lived here a month but this place stands out as a real winner. I go once a week, and it's always the spot I take my friends to when they come to town.

Cons: The only thing I don't love about this place is that the tacos al pastor are not cut from a spit. I don't eat them if the meat isn't spit-roasted, so I can't recommend them. That being said, I've tried the rest of the taco menu and everything is...
