Taco Mac - Decatur

Where's the bar rescue man? This is like a Atlanta sports team many people work, but no one actually does something. It's a joke to avoid.

At 11:30 a.m. to the late supper. The hostess asked how many in our party. When I told her four, she said I'm sorry we're just calling orders. What? I asked her why she asked us how many are at the party. She shot her shoulders and said strength of habit. Nasty attitude! The service begins in front of the house and this place failed.

As others have said, this location is lacking in the service department. Our food orders came out at all different times (some folks were done with their meals before others got food! and our server was hard to track down for our check. The food and drinks were pretty good, when they finally arrived, but the service really detracted from the experience. Lots of better options in the area to choose from...

Table for 2 for DinnerAs we approached, we pulled into the small outside parking lot that is right next to the restaurant. Parking here is free for Taco Mac patrons. There is additional paid street parking in the surrounding area. As we entered, we were greeted by a hostess that had low energy and mumbled to follow her. She led us to an available booth, not too far from the front. After a few minutes, our server arrived. We advised we needed some more time to figure out our beer and food choices. We scanned the QR code on the table to pull up the extensive beer selection. I decided to order a beer flight of 4 different styles and wifey ordered her favorite Margo Cart Wheat. Wifey needed some more time to choose an entree. The restaurant/bar was not busy, but the beer was a little slow to make it to the table. Wifey decided on the Chicken Tinga Nachos and I ordered the Southern Chicken Sandwich with tater tots. We noticed the food was slow to arrive, as well. My chicken sandwich arrived with fries instead of the tater tots I ordered. The server checked his sheet and verified my tots request. He said I could keep the fries and he would bring an order of tots. He made good on that claim and arrived quickly with the order. The sandwich itself was pretty generic and looked like it was on a regular hamburger bun. Overall, it was ok with my tater tots. Wifey’s entree was not your traditional chicken nachos. It was a deconstructed version of Nachos. She received one plate of chips and folded flour tortillas and another plate of a cheesy chicken mixture. She treated it like a huge dip, scooping up the cheesy chicken mix with the chips. She said it was OK and had enough to take some home. Wifey visited the bathroom and advised that it was clean, but “smelled like a sewer”. The place was not crowded at all, but the overall service was slow. This is in a great location and most likely we will be back, but our experience was average.
