Carniceria Los Pinos is a Mexican grocery store with a small, authentic restaurant inside, described as a delightful hidden gem and the best kept secret in Sandy Springs. The market itself offers a good variety of Latin groceries, including a well-stocked butcher shop that is a great place to get meat, especially chicken and pork, and has a decent fruit and vegetable selection. The small cafe serves original street tacos, considered the best ever by some, along with burritos, tortas, quesadillas, and platillos. The food is authentic and amazing, with specific praise for the al pastor and barbacoa. Meals are often complemented by Mexican soft drinks and aguas frescas like horchata. The seating area is small, clean, and comfortable, with friendly and efficient service. While some note the food is good but not extraordinary, and language can be a barrier with limited English spoken, many find everything muy bien and plan to return regularly.
