Little Rey sits in Piedmont Heights as part of a small group of sister locations, operating under the name "Al Carbón" — a nod to live-fire cooking — with additional spots on Northside Parkway in Atlanta, plus locations in Houston, Raleigh, and Nashville.
The carnitas tacos have built a following among regulars, served in a room known for a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere and attentive service. Wait times can run long, but the food is generally considered worth it, even as some longtime visitors point to the price point and a slight dip in consistency compared to earlier visits.
