1. Monterrey's

Monterrey is known by many Centennial students because it’s right across the street, but it’s still slightly less popular than the typical chain restaurants around here. However, it’s cheap and delicious. I used to work there so I can personally vouch for how amazing their food is and how fresh and crispy their chips are.

2. Chuy’s

This is a hotspot in Texas, and recently this location Chuy’s set up camp across from Avalon. Although it’s pretty crowded most of the time, I went for the first time yesterday and I have been to Avalon multiple times and never noticed it. Their queso is the best I’ve ever tasted in my life and their portion sizes are pretty large.

3. El Potrillo

Super close, super inexpensive, and super good. That’s really all you need to know. Although I think their quality of food is lower than the other restaurants on this list, the workers are very accommodating and it's definitely worth giving a try.

4. Mr. Taco

If you're in a rush for some tacos, Mr. Taco is the place to go. It's fast, but still pretty delicious, and much better (in my opinion) than Moe's or Chipotle. They have dozens of options on their menu as well. Also, they deliver for us couch potatoes.

5. Qdoba

I have personally never been here, but a couple of friends strongly recommended it, and after looking at its website it definitely looks like a great choice. You can order ahead, and there are multiple locations around Johns Creek, and apparently, the food is to die for.
