Best Family Restaurant and Sports Bar!
When my family wants to go out to eat on a Friday or Saturday night, Taco Mac is always thrown into the choices of where we should go. I'd say eight out of ten times, we wind up there. Everyone is always happy with their food!
Taco Mac is now what is considered a chain restaurant. It originated in the Virginia-Highland area of Atlanta. The original Taco Mac is still there and offers a much different atmosphere than the other newer versions. I'll review it as well. There are many Taco Mac's around Metro-Atlanta, and now there's one in Tennessee and one coming in North Carolina. Why is the chain growing?
The Food is AWESOME, the price is right, and the size of their beer list is incredible!
The original Taco Mac, located in Virginia-Highlands, is small, cozy, and a throw back to the restaurant's "humble" beginnings. Click on the link to the Taco Mac website to read about how the restaurant began. Dave and I have been to this one once. We were with some friends after a night on the town in the Highlands, and we stopped by for some late night vittles. Loved it! - the atmosphere is definitely not the same as the newer versions (no arcade :) - at least I don't think there is.)
A typical, chain Taco Mac is large with many booths and tables. There are flat screen t.v.'s all over the place, broadcasting a variety of sporting events. The bar area is large. There is also an arcade usually offering six or more games (some Taco Mac's have a separate room for the arcade). It is usually LOUD and can get pretty crowded, so it doesn't matter how loud your crowd can get - you'll just blend right in.
Now for the food. The following is what we typically order when we go to Taco Mac:
Chili con Queso - served with freshly cooked chips AND tortillas AND salsa. Taco Mac's salsa is YUMMY and the Queso is perfect!! It's hard to find better! This is a standard appetizer order for us...everyone in my family loves it.
Mozzarella Sticks - pretty average cheese sticks. The kids really like these so we order them on occassion.
WINGS! WINGS! WINGS! This is what Taco Mac is noted for. Their wings are EXCEPTIONAL! No, really, UTTERLY PERFECT! Did I make my point? I order them with two sides of blue cheese sauce. If you have a craving for wings - go to Taco Mac!
Kenmore Burger - My favorite burger of all time! It has sauteed onions, mushrooms, and smoked applewood bacon with swiss cheese (of which I always change to cheddar). Dave actually orders his with swiss and cheddar. This burger is ALWAYS done perfectly at all of the Taco Mac's we have been to. Absolutely LOVE it!
Sides:
Fries - are always yummy. Cooked perfectly, with just a little seasoning. You are served A LOT of fries!
Onion Rings - These are really done well here. I definitely recommend trying them! Dave will order them as his side a lot and then share. We always have WAY too many fries if we all order them as a side - so you get to have both this way!
From the Kids Menu:
Chicken Tenders, Chicken Nuggets, Burger, and Corn Puppies - are all a favorite of our kiddos. These are served with a drink, a side (my kids always get the fries) and an oreo cookie packet.
*There are many other options for food at Taco Mac, including salads, burritos, tacos etc... We just seem to go when we have a craving for the above mentioned items.
