Restaurant: Red Pepper Taqueria

Hey everyone, are you looking for a hangout spot after work? Then you should head to Red Pepper Taqueria in Buckhead! This past week my friend Hannah and I tried some of the chef’s specials at this restaurant and were so full and happy after. Here are the items of the menu that we got!

DrinksRed Wine Sangria– I thought this sangria was really refreshing and flavorful!

Margaritas– I tried the lime margarita the last time I was here and it was delicious! It was also quite strong (just a heads up).

AppetizersSalsa Trio $6.50- These 3 flavors, tomato salsa, tomatillo salsa verde, & salsa morita, were awesome! The morita was my favorite & had a great chipotle flavor to it!

Tuna Crudo– $9.50- This ahi tuna was served with peppercorn, jicama slaw, and ají chili remoulade. This appetizer was packed with flavor and a little spicy. So yummy and I’ll definitely get it again. If you like your dishes extra spicy, you can eat the jalapeno with each bite of fish.

Ceviche Blanco– $9.50- Made with red snapper, classic citrus marinade, and crunchy plantain chips. Hannah and I loved this. It was tangy and had the perfect amount of citrus and flavor. I will definitely be ordering this again.

Grilled Oysters-$9.50- This appetizer is composed of 4 charbroiled oysters, jamón serrano, grated parmesan, and garlic bread. This dish had a little bit too much of a smoky and milky flavor for my liking. I preferred the other appetizers over this one. The garlic bread was awesome though!

Tacos- Each one costs $3.79The manager we met with recommended these three tacos shown above so of course we wanted to try them! Here are their details from left to right:

Pescado Frito– Made with crispy white fish, poblano slaw, corn, radish, and tomatillo salsa. The fish in this taco was really crunchy and I loved it with the salsa and radishes. Hannah said this was one of her favorite tacos that we tried.
Kale ME Hungry– Blackened shrimp, kale slaw, and avocado cream- The kale was my favorite part of this taco! All the flavors blended together so well that I finished it so fast. I’ll definitely get this one again.
BBQ Chicken– Made with crispy chicken, poblano slaw, grilled corn, and chipotle barbeque sauce- This taco was my personal favorite!

Bottom Two Tacos (shown above)
Pollo Asado– Made with grilled chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, and tomatillo salsa verde- This taco was a tad average to me.
The Giving Taco– Made with braised lamb, pickled onions, cilantro, queso panela, and ají chile remoulade. This definitely had a strong lamb taste and was yummy! Also, a portion of the proceeds from this taco are donated to support local charities!
Taco Parilla– Made with grilled chicken, peppers, onions, bacon, chihuahua cheese, and salsa morita. This taco was a little average for me as well but I did love that it had chihuahua cheese on it! Chihuahua cheese is a Mexican cheese with the perfect amount of saltiness to it!
Carne Asada– Made with skirt steak, pickled onions, cilantro, and guajillo salsa. I really enjoyed this taco and thought it had a lot of flavor! I would get this one again!

DessertChurros con Chocolate-$5.50- Fried pastry dough & hazelnut chocolate sauce. I don’t even really like sweets much but I loved these churros. They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It reminded me of the bottom of a pie. So good!

This patio is awesome for 90 degrees and under weather! I see a lot of people come here after work just to hang out and I could definitely see myself doing that in the future too.
