Tacos La Villa

March 24, 2015

Tacos La Villa in Smyrna. Buford Highway (el rey, taco veloz, etc) is my go-to for this style of simple tacos. But on this side of town, Tacos La Villa is the best option I’ve tried. Many others seems to agree, it was super crowded for lunch. $5.99 for three tacos, rice, beans. Meats were above […]

Superica

March 9, 2015

Here are a a few shots and thoughts from a recent pilgrimage to Krog Street Market, this time visiting Superica, the latest in mega-restauranteur and fancy lightbulb enthusiast Ford Fry’s collection. The fourth full-service restaurant surrounding the bustling food hall, Superica is the sister restaurant of Avalon’s The El Felix, both a Tex-Mex homage to the Houston and Austin styles of Mr. […]

RIP Fox & Hounds, Welcome Verde / The Local

January 21, 2011

The overexposed photo above was a request from my bride to be, as Fox & Hounds is where we met. Sorry, not all how-we-met stories are very romantic, though I do believe I picked up her vodka-heavy tab. Fox & Hounds was dirty, smelly, and though they banned smoking near the end of its life, […]

Susis Taco Grill

August 25, 2010

I’ve been doing a lot of bike riding out in this area cyclists refer to as “Silk Sheets”, which is a loop that cruises around Fairburn and Palmetto. Many of my spandex-clothed brethren begin the ride at a church that is fairly easy for me to access – I just drive 25 minutes out Bolton […]

Taco Rancho

August 20, 2010

After attending a meeting in Forest Park yesterday, I swung by Taco Rancho, the new taqueria from Chef Jose Rego (formerly of Allegro). I first heard about this place in a write-up Bob Townsend did for the AJC. I had a very good meal at Allegro before their demise, so I had high expectations, which were […]

Taco What?

August 5, 2010

The taco above has two corn tortillas, diced raw onion, cilantro, and heavily seasoned thin strips of  beef. It was served to me tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. It costs $1.49 for one, or $2.79 for two, so I got the carnitas pictured below as well. It looks like it could have come from numerous […]
