In ShortFunctional and fast, this local burrito chain features a spiffed-up version of the mighty handheld meal. Thanks to some good basic flavors (cilantro-garlic steak, chipotle barbecue pork) and a generous hand with garnishes, tese burritos are too heavy on beans-and-rice. The "Super" comes with lettuce, cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Vegetarian options are also available, as are quesadillas and tacos. Stick with the burritos, especially the celebrated Green Mole Chicken.

Insider Pages Reviews for Willy's Mexicana Grill - Downtown/Peachtree Center
I've tried the Burritos, Queso's & Tacos. Delicious, fresh food. No ground meat or unidentifiable stringy chicken for this fast-food restaurant. You know exactly what you are eating, and they make it just like you want it made. Prices are very reasonable - about $6-8 per meal, including drink. I sometimes go and get 8 tacos for my family of four - it comes with chips & salsa, and take them home; dinner for about $20 - and everyone is crazy over the taste. Real chicken, real steak. You really can't beat it.

They have better ingridients than Moe's and not as expensive as Chipotle's. Their burritoes are delicious and they are not stingy with ingredients at all. They may not be authentic Mexican food but by far the best Tex-Mex restaurant in Atlanta.

When I went to college, I used to go to Willy's at least twice a week. After graduating and not having a Willy's nearby, I'm in constant withdrawl. Willy's makes the best burritos I've ever had. They are freshly made in front of you, have great toppings, and are huge which make them a great deal. I love this place and miss it so much.

The most flavorful and filling burrito in town. I recommend you try one of their world class burritos if you love authentic mexican food. Served with a smile and plenty of drink refills.

by brythonic
I love this place!!! Fast, cheap, fresh and good says it all. Willy's service american mexican in a flash. Walk in, read the menu and then step up to the counter and order. They will make it in front of you to your specs. But watch out. Just about everything there is huge and delicious.

Good, but where is Chiptole??
by atlimpressivefun
Willy's is good stuff, and it is the best burrito that Atlanta has to offer right now. Chiptole's restaurants and burritos kick some serious macho guaco butt though, and I hope they get to Atlanta soon!

Better Mexican
by andrewfischer
In a city filled with bad mexican eateries, Willy's stands out with decent food at low prices. Willy's is not as good as Rubio's, but Rubio's doesn't have a Franchise in Atlanta...
Pros: Inexpensive

Cheap and easy
by mindyo
Willy's isn't exactly a fancy restaurant, but it definitely serves a purpose. If you want good quality food (and lots of it) fast and cheap, Willy's is your place. The ingredients are always fresh and your burrito is made to order right away. If there's not a huge line (as there often is at the Piedmont Park location), you can be in and out in about 1/2 hour.
I've tried both Willy's and Moe's. They essentially have the same menu. But I think Willy's is just a touch better.
Pros: Cheap, Fast, Enough food to split
Cons: Little atmosphere, Sometimes crowded, Limited parking
