The second Atlanta location of Little Rey is now open.

The fast-casual Northern Mexican concept from Ford Fry is located at 3705 Northside Parkway NW in the Northcreek Office Park development.

Little Rey, the sister restaurant to Superica, serves wood-roasted “chicken al carbon” plus al carbon tacos, traditional street-style tacos, salads and fresh salsas.

For a sweet treat, the menu includes an assortment of rotating soft-serve flavors, like tres leches and salty cajeta & fried peanuts. Migas breakfast tacos and pancakes served with buttermilk syrup are offered every weekend. Whole, bone-in chicken al carbon, served every day, is available both in-house and for takeaway.

The Little Rey beverage program is curated by beverage director Eduardo Porto Carreiro and includes both on-the-rocks and frozen margaritas and a revolving array of house-made agua frescas. There are also Mexican beers and a hand-selected list of top local and regional craft ales from the reach-in cooler.  

Atlanta-based DeCarlo Hawker Architecture and Design was the architecture and design team on the 5,500-square-foot space. Smith Hanes Studio was the interior designer. The restaurant features a covered patio and walk-up window. 

To celebrate the new location, Little Rey will host a free breakfast taco pop-up outside the restaurant (1 free taco per person) on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at 10 a.m., until the kitchen runs out.
