Loved the Tacos. Super tasty. Had Asada Tacos. Thanks for cooking good food. Quick service and friendly

I visited Prison Tacos last Saturday, which is conveniently close to my house, so I decided to take a stroll over. Located near the prison, this taco spot is inside a Mexican grocery store and offers an amazing experience. I tried the chicken tacos, and they were delicious. They also have a salsa station with flavorful and spicy salsas to complement your tacos. The staff was nice and polite, adding to the pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend giving them a try!

These tacos are always amazing! Anytime I say 'prison tacos' my ATL friends immediately say 'damn those tacos are good!' Al Pastor and Carnitas are my favorite. Make sure to raid the salsa bar for flavorful options to pour on the tacos. I've been quite a few times so here are a few things: - Be nice the staff, leave the formal, judgy, snobby attitudes at home. - Food always tastes fresh and is hot! - The tacos are filling! I was full after 2 but I ate my third because they are delicious. - Good place to try something new - This is a takeout type of spot. - They do not accept AMEX. - While you wait, check out the Mexican grocery store it's in, they have some great packaged goods.

My coworker recommended this place to me, he called it "prison tacos" though, which threw me off but I was able to find this place pretty quickly and easily anyways! The food/tacos are in the back of the store and it definitely seems like a mom and pop type of operation. Despite the hidden nature of this place and seemingly few customers, the food was amazing! I got 3 tacos but also asked for some rice, beans, and a little side salad since they don't do a taco platter (the platter comes with this stuff on the side)... the guy taking my order was a little confused at first but charged the extra stuff as something else, I'm not sure what, and I was able to get what I wanted! The prices are more than fair, the taste is on point, and they make the food pretty quickly (but not so quickly that you feel like it's pre-made or anything). They only had a little bit of the green salsa left when I went, whereas I think they usually have 2 types, but I LOVED the green salsa.. idk if it's some bottled kind, but the next time I go I plan on asking if it can be bought. The tacos themselves were perfectly constructed, good amount of filling and the onions and cilantro were the perfect mix.

Service is always good! The Food is literally the best in Atlanta! Authentic and never disappoints!

El Progreso, more commonly known as "prison taco" due to its proximity to the rather striking federal penitentiary across the street, has been on my to-try list for over a year now. Their hours might not be the *most* reliable, as they closed early the first time I tried to eat there, but all you have to do is call ahead. Parking is also super easy and free. Now that I've finally been to prison taco, I know I'll be coming back frequently. The tacos have everything you need--great meat, cilantro, onion, lime juice, and beautiful salsas on perfect corn tortillas--and nothing you don't. Currently, most tacos are 2.89, and the lengua are 3.99. They have items on their menu other than tacos, but the tacos are the star. If you have a vegetarian along with you, they do make veggie tacos (rice, beans, lettuce, and cheese) along with veggie versions of some of their other items. It's not on the posted menu, but if you ask they'll gladly make it for you. I tried the al pastor and the lengua--two of each--which was plenty of food, as the tacos are piled high with meat. There is definitely spillage, so don't be afraid to get messy. The lengua is without a doubt the best lengua I've ever had. So tender and juicy on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside of each piece. If you're a bit skeptical about eating tongue, try the lengua here, and you'll be converted. I can also see why the al pastor is popular here! And al pastor is usually my favorite, however the lengua here is SO good that it honestly outshines the al pastor. Both are so good though and I can't wait to come back and try their other tacos. My vegetarian dinner buddy really liked their veggie tacos, too!

These tacos are fantastic. This is what a taco should taste like. Mango juice was tasty, too.

Y'all already know these beans and rice taste like grandma cooked them. The tacos bang and the authenticity is 100 percent. Had a burrito this last time just to try something new, but will stick to my usual from here on out.
