Willy's Mexicana Grill Reviews

Very flavorful burritos, and the bowls are excellent. Service is just okay, but the kitchen does a good job.

Quick and cheap and good Tex Mex

I tried the salad and it was good , fresh and nutritious. They called it their special but believe all other dishes are good like this one.

I look forward to eating at Willy's every year I go to Atlanta for DC. The breakfast burrito's are fantastic and I just can't get enough of the Chili-D sauce. I am in from Thursday thru Sunday and I eat there at least once if not twice a day!!

Ordered the Vegetarian Burrito and it was Amazing. Huge Quantity and Quality Ingredients assortment of cilantro, rice, black beans, guacamole, jalapeño, black olives, pico salsa, grilled green peppers, onions and more. Friendly Staff and great salsa bar to go with your free chips. Can’t wait until the next time. Yum Yum!

Better than Moe's (especially the salsa) but not as good as Chipotle

I did not expect much from this place when I walked in as it seemed to be a chain restaurant similar to Izzos. I was impressed with the friendly staff who served us even before they were going to close. The ingredients were fresh, flavorful and delicious! Pretty reasonable prices as well!

Nice area. The food was average. The staff was friendly and interestly from Europe.

It's okay and affordable, but WHY in the name of all that is holy does everyone want to go here all the time?

When traveling, you don't always have a wide variety of options, even in a large airport like Atlanta. After a flight from Key West, I opted for a steak burrito at Willy's. The burrito was OK, but the steak was a little tough, and overall it left me wanting something more satisfying. Service was friendly and quick.

Ive been eating Willys for years and i still love this place. Its so much better than the copy cats (moes). Meat and veggies are fresh and service is wonderful. Portions are huge so come hungry. Queso is amazing! If you like soup, you need to try the soup!

My wife and I just loved Willy's. We have gone there twice in one week. Friendly staff that will let you sample anything you want. Prices are right and the food is GOOD!

Good keto breakfast bowl. The bowl was a good size and al the ingredients were fresh a d tasty. Ordered the bowl with extra pico de gallo so good. The service was very good.

A lunch fav.

For fast food during the crush of Dragon Con, this was quite good. Had the chicken burrito, but it was more like a casadea. The chips were good, topping good. Over all, enjoyed the food.

fun place to just chill out on a sunday afternoon with a pitcher alki :)

I stopped even though there was a long line. They move quickly & I love how you hear the familiarity they have when taking regulars order with a smile. It's like visiting a friend that likes to cook & feed you!

Depending on which one you go to, they give you great portions of everything!

Quality fresh food, good service, waiting in the line is worth it.

Place has gone down hill, not what it was Not clean, and it lost it's charm cold soup food just so,so

The line was quite long, but moved quickly. Food fresh and plentiful with numerous options to choose from. Atmosphere lively, upbeat, and exciting. Diners appeared to quickly get back to work, so tables turned quite fast.

Good food stop for lunch. Free chips (although I found they crack very easily when trying to scoop anything). The steak burrito was good, and the meat was particularly tasty.

This is one of the best Mexican fast food places I have eaten. The food was hot and fresh and a great price. Very flavorful and they load on the ingredients. It's well worth trying and I don't think you will be disappointed.

My wife and I just can't get enough of Willy's. For years we've eaten there and the food is ALWAYS consistently good. I know of no other taco establishment place where the food is as healthy, the service as superb, and the prices so agreeable. There are many taco restaurants in Atlanta but none measure up to Willy's!!

Similar to Chipotle, but menu seemed a little larger. Food was good. We had a wide variety and nothing was bad. Love the different salsas.

Mou's and Chipotle don't even come close!

pretty good there chix doesnt have much flavor to me but the steak burritto is pretty good

The staff were quick to make the burritos and filled them with just enough to be able to wrap them but be contained. The wait was short which is exactly what is expected from a fast food joint like this.

very good regular Mexican fare, chips to enchiladas to fajitas. All delicious!! left there stuffed. Service was ok. nothing special. Would go back for the food.

Great TEx-Mex for a quick lunch. Good food, good price, what's not to like. Can get very crowded at lunchtime.

Haven't been to this particular location but have been to 2 others (one off of Hammond Dr and Peachtree Rd, I believe) and service was good as well as fast. In my opinion, this out does Chipotle by a long shot and I LOVE Chipotle. Would go everyday if I could. Will be missing Willy's when I leave Atlanta.

ummm!! need i say more

I had a grilled steak taco salad. It had good flavor and was a quick healthy lunch. It was a beautiful fall day and I ate my lunch in the open plaza located just upstairs from the restaurant on the street-level. It was just after the lunch hour and there were still a lot of people around, but the plaza was very clean.

Cheaper than Wendy’s and made to order. The sauce was a little hot so make sure you order something to drink.

We have been to different Willy's locations, because we enjoy the food. This one was new to us, and it did not start well. The manager waited on us, and called my teenage daughter a "young man". I corrected him and said, "she's a young lady". He apologized, but did not seem to think it was a big deal. As we were eating, he sat near us on his break, and loudly sneezed, seemingly all over the table, but I can't be sure. After he left, a family took that table and apparently they had messed up their order. He came to them several times to apologize, and said he was paying for their meal because of it. The mother didn't seem upset, and the manager went out of his way to apologize to her. But addressing my daughter as a boy (she has a very short haircut) apparently does not rise to that level of apology. We will not return.

The first bite at willy's was beautiful. I tasted the black beans. I also tasted the rice and the lettuce. I thought to myself,"Where have you been all my life ", and then I told my mom the same thing. I loved that restaurant ever since that first bite.

First time visiting this place and it seems to be a hit within the community. The place gets packed around lunch time, and the parking is a little hectic outside. The food is the same as your Moe's or your Chipotle, you order from the menu and then you walk down the line and say what you want on. They offer the free chips and salsa bar too. The salsa was not that impressive to me, I tried the hottest one and it was very burnt tasting and not too hot. For the price the food is ok. Beware the cost for a drink though. $2 for a small drink? I say its a try at least

The food is way better...same style as chiptole but better ingredients, although about $3 more a person than chipotle but worth it. We wend to the piedmont location and sat outside. Excellent choice.

Cheap, filling, and tasty.

I got a Baja Steak Burrito ($9.50) for lunch. It was a lot of food as it came with rice and beans, guacamole, and a side salad as well as a small bag of chips. Everything tasted good, and the steak tasted the way it should. Clean restaurant inside and out.

I am reviewing the Willy's in the Atlanta airport, but I found this to be common with other locations. The food is overpriced for what you get. I guess they are sticking with the popular burrito craze like Chipotle or Moe's, however they are not as good as Chipotle and Chipotle is not as good as Moe's. You pay extra for your guacamole and chips, the burrito was bland, the guacamole was bland, even the chips were bland. The food hardly had any flavor, none. If your looking for a good burrito I recommend Moe's, Barbaritos or Bullridos. Willy's is just blah, blah bland.

Better than Moe's

A lot like Moe's....LOVE their guac!

It's sort of like a Qdoba or Moe's or Chipotle, only better. Huge portions. The queso sauce is a good condiment. The restaurant itself was a little hard to find. It's on the basement level of the Peachtree Center. This is a big food court area and Willy's was the only place with a line out the door, so you know it's good!

I went to Willy's for the first time this past Friday and it will definitely be my last time. I ordered a steak burrito and quesadilla. The steak was mine. It was awful!! First of all the food was not seasoned at all. Secondly the wrap for the burrito tasted as if they went next door to Kroger's and bought a package of wraps and just put the food in it. The steak was bland, the beans and rice were bland, I have never had such a stale tasting tortilla, it was just terrible. The food tasted as if there was absolutely no pride in making it, just beans out of a can, tortilla out of a bag and the rest was ... The line moved quickly, the decor was nothing special just brightly lit, they had margaritas (I didn't have any but at least it was available). Besides that the only thing Mexican about this restaurant, is the menu... the food is not.

Now that is a burrito. The flavor is fantastic. Great place.

Elegant? No. Food was quite good and quite cheap. We were hungry and tired and spotted this place so we took advantage of the parking and ordered some dinners. The food was unusually good. Don't go for ambience, elegance or even swept floors, but they heap good food on your plate for a very reasonable price.

I love Mexican food, but this food is not Mexican.

It's fast food, and definitely was good enough. I'd rate it somewhere between average and very good but good isn't s choice on here. I will say the two tacos were pretty filling and I was worried they wouldn't be. And I didn't even know they fill up your bag with tons of chips so that was a nice surprise! I'd go back

You should try the different salsas and find your favorite.

After having walked in the heat of downtown Atlanta, we went underground to look for some food in the foodcourt of the Peachtree Square shopping center. We did not had a specific preference, but as there was a waiting line at Willy's, we decided to try on their Mexican food. Before being served we had to wait around 15 min. We all ordered a hot burrito with pulled pork complemented with various cold items including guacamole. The taste was very good, well worth the wait. There were sufficient seats, but like everywhere if you are finished with your meals, you are supposed to leave the place

Willy's provides fresh, California-style burritos that are sure to please! The super nachos are wonderful, and the guacamole is delicious! To steal their motto, if you fresh food fast, this is the place to go!

I was traveling to Atlanta with a group of students so the food court option here was perfect for us. They got to choose whatever they wanted and it was in budget. I had never been to a Willy's before but because I love Mexican food I thought it would be great. I got the veggie bowl and I loved the additional options you don't get at Chipotle or Qdoba, but it was a little more bland than the other places. I did love the surprise of a bag of chips with my meal and the salsa bar to select a variety of options from. Overall, I would pick this place again if I make it down this direction for a fast, easy, and inexpensive lunch or dinner.

If I want nachos I go right to Willys Fresh ingredients all natural ingredients and plenty of them! Everyone in my family chooses Willys Get extra napkins!

watered down guacamole. need i say more?

Best burritos in town.

I ordered was very good, you can choice your ingredients...and the modelo beer, my favorite, everything was very good, very fast, the place is quiet, nice, clean. Everything was fine

The food is always good and fresh, lines go by fast, friendly and smiley staff. My favorite is Adobe chicken bowl with black beans, no rice, guacamole, lettuce, cilantro, sweet pepper, coleslaw, cucumber, olives, corn and picco. Usually drink their mango lemonade

Immediately upon entering this restaurant I liked it. Seating spacious, very clean, lighting is just right, and I felt very comfy. The food was great. Nutrition info was readily available.

Having lived abroad for over a decade, I've learned to go without a lot of American food staples like decent buffalo chicken wings, Dr. Pepper and proper nachos. Over the years, my longings for most of these things have really died down - EXCEPT for Willy's! Willy cravings hit me at random times, but on a pretty regular basis. Specifically, I miss Willy's chicken burrito bowl & their salsa bar. It's the first & last meal I have when I enter/exit the US. This is the location I visit most often, and the staff is always really cool and nice. I envy those of you who can pop into Willy's whenever you want. Enjoy it. Savor it. And eat several salty chips for me. Willy's, I'll see you in February.

Fast and healthy for a reasonable price cannot be beat.

Ate the regular quesadilla which was very large with chips and queso. It was delicious!! It is located in Peachtree Center. It was priced right!! Will definitely go back!!

It's a Willy's, so the food is pretty standard - reliable, quick Tex-Mex without many surprises. It's the staff that really shines at this establishment though. I usually come here during conventions or conferences downtown, so the place is swamped. The staff have always been efficient and friendly though, even though they must be absolutely overwhelmed with the number of customers coming through. The dining area is also usually clean and quiet, making it a perfect respite from the rest of Peachtree Mall.

Great fresh California-style burritos. The price is excellent and food is delicious. Willy's has a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. They also have an excellent selection of home-made salsas.

My favorite burritos in town.

I will never recommend this location to anyone after my experience with the staff. I was going to try for the first time a Taco Salad. I ask if there an extra charge for additional meat. I like to have a choice in the matter. As she was putting the toppings on the Taco Salad I ask for a little queso. I went other toppings I ask is there a charge they said yes. You tell me after the fact, when I ask prior. My coworker witnessed the issue and said the same thing. Long story short, when ready to checkout they was trying to resolve the issue. The FOH/cashier pretty mush trying to tell me what I heard and treated me like I was trying to get over on $2....really $2 bucks! And I always tip.... lesson learn, never again. I will not be returning to this location. It's not very clean anyway. I don't need to go back.
