  BEST MINI TACOS ON THE PLANET! Ok, ok, ok, in Marietta, lol.
  
  Place is a bit shady but dont let that judge the food! Staff is always quick to place and make your order fresh. We always order tacos or a mulita and cebollitas. Add some salt on those and em em good! They have a mini salsa bar. Limes are always juicy and never dry, lol. Surprisingly their cheeseburger and fries are even decent!
  
  Agua de piña is always good. And they have your typical soda fountain.
  
  Prices are incredibly reasonable, small resturant and very busy during lunch rush but oh so worth it!

  Like Charles A. - this is a spot that I've driven by for YEARS - and in my search for an 'old school' quesadilla - I decided to stop in.  
  
  We were getting take-away and my dinner buddy was not happy. He's a bit of food snob and he made idiotic cracks about getting a tetanus shot before handling the menu. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and he got the cheeseburger special (it comes with a burger, fries and a fountain drink for $5.50 - I think).
  
  My final thoughts - I should've gotten the friggin cheeseburger special.  The quesadilla was around eight bucks and it wasn't very filling - and it wasn't crispy. When asked, the cashier told me the chicken quesadilla was 'big' (it was not - lol) and the Yelp pics must be old, because the one I received looked nothing like the crispy delicacy photographed by Karo K in 2015.  It was very oily. It wasn't a bad quesadilla, it just wasn't a great quesadilla and not a good value for the portion size.  My dinner buddy, on the other hand, loved his burger. He was teasing me and making all sorts of obnoxious lip-smacking sounds while eating it.  After much sighing and eye-rolling on my part, he gave me a TINY bite - and I had to agree: it was pretty tasty.  Lol.  
  
  The place seemed clean - but very small - I would never opt to dine in because the tables are jammed too close together. The cashiers and cooks were all super friendly though (smiling and offering help with our choices). The cashier even told me if I didn't like my quesadilla, to bring it back.
  
  Under normal circumstances, I would give them 3 stars, but I bumped 'em up 1 additional star just for great customer service.

  I've seen this spot for years and have always been willing to try it out.  The decor is not appealing but the Taco Salad I had was pretty good.  I did not like the fact that ground beef was not an option...however the chicken was satisfying.  I can definitely see myself returning and trying out other items on the menu...but the taco salad is worth returning alone.

  Don Pedro was another notch on the belt for my tour of authentic Mexican taquerias around town.  I saw this place out driving one day and bookmarked it for a later visit.
  
  I think the layout of the restaurant is perfect in what looks to be an old waffle house.  In typical taqueria fashion you can choose either tacos, sopes and even mulitas with your choice of meat.  What drove me here was the mulitas which only a few places around town seem to have.  They are basically mini quesadillas with cheese, choice of meat and a slice or two of fresh avocado.  
  
  We ordered some tacos al pastor, tacos asada, mulitas carnitas and the shrimp tostada.  Everything was delicious but the star of the show for me was the asada.  A lot of times I find the asada to be tough and chewy and somewhat dry.  The asada at Don Pedro's was perfectly grilled with a nice char and perfectly seasoned/marinated meat.  I also highly recommend the tostada de camaron as it's perfect for a hot summer day and they don't skimp on the topping.
  
  As with any good taqueria, they have a nice salsa bar with lime, pickled veg and a three different salsas to sample.
  
  Highly recommended!

  4 stars because depending on what you get from the menu, portions can be really small and not very filling. However, the food is always good.
