El Progreso I serves some of the best authentic food in the Atlanta area. The whole pollo is smoked to perfection with onions, spices, and jalapenos, and is especially delicious. The food is well seasoned, fresh, and hot every time. The place is known for its classic good food, including tacos and burritos. Customers appreciate the friendly and respectful staff, as well as the fast service, even when there's a line. The store also offers a variety of meats and spices, including rendered pork lard and authentic Mexican drinks like horchata and tamarind. The prices are unbeatable, making it a go-to spot for lunch. Overall, El Progreso I is a great place to try authentic Mexican cuisine, with a wide selection of food and excellent customer service. The staff is courteous and helpful, making it easy for customers to order what they want.
Amazing chicken and tacos. I love the staff and consistency. The meat area is great as well. Definitely go early for the chicken

There is a small barber shop inside - Lalo in the barber shop does a phenomenal job with men’s hair! Very detail-oriented, and put a lot of time and care into my haircut.

Some of the best authentic Issachar food in the Atlanta area hands down; the whole pollo is smoked to perfection with onions, spices, jalapenos, and is especially delicious!
