A new Tex-Mex spot, offering tacos and more, has made its debut in the neighborhood. The new addition to Piedmont Heights, called Little Rey, is located at 1878 Piedmont Ave. NE.

The ubiquitous Ford Frey, one of Atlanta's most prolific restaurateurs, is behind Little Rey, which Eater Atlanta describes as a "counter-service, taco and chicken al carbon restaurant" that aims for an Austin, Texas-vibe. The stylish digs feature an expansive dining porch and folk art, and the front is graced with a funky neon sign topped with a chicken.

The menu features chicken, of course, wood-grilled half or whole. It can also be had in tacos and salads. You can also stop in early for breakfast tacos. 

With a 3.5-star rating out of 24 reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh arrival has gotten a good response, though there have been complaints of long wait times.

Jana H., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 27, wrote, "Came on opening day around 5 p.m., and [we] were told it was a 1.5-hour wait. I mentioned that we were just looking to get drinks and chips and salsa, and they said they could bring those out and the drinks were on the house because of the wait. Talk about good customer service!"

Head on over to check it out: Little Rey is open from 8:30 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekends.
