Teela Taqueria – Sandy Springs, GA

As part of an ongoing attempt to bring the Atlanta food blogging community together, the one who always says “Marie, Let’s Eat” invited several of us to meet them for dinner at Teela Taqueria.  Arriving at 6:30 on a Sunday evening, we were joined by one half of Friday Date Night, Atlanta Restaurant Blog, Atlanta, […]

Moe’s Southwestern Grill – Duluth, GA

Maybe they’ve done market research and a lot of folks like walking into a place in being yelled at.  It just reminds me of being at the office.  Opening the door to a chorus of “welcome to Moe’s” is likely intended to be inviting, but it just seems forced.  I did enjoy the humor of […]

Cinco Estrellas – Santa Fe Mall, Duluth, GA

After reading a review in Atlanta Magazine about the wonders of the food court at Santa Fe Mall in Duluth, I had mentioned it to my daughter and her boyfriend, based on proximity to his house and her love for Latin American food. They had visited several weeks ago and talked about how tasty, and […]

Taqueria del Sol – Atlanta, GA

Taqueria del Sol is a place that always seems to have a line out front.  I remember eating there a couple of times over the last few years and it was good, but I don’t think I have been since I started blogging.  And I don’t “get” the line.  It’s always been good, but the […]

PURE Taqueria – Duluth, GA

Over the last couple of years, the city of Duluth has gone through a resurgence.  On the corner near where the train depot used to stand is what appears to be a refurbished gas station – roll up bay doors and all. Now most all of this was built in the last two years, but […]

Cafe Restaurante Dominicano – Norcross, GA

So another day rolls around and I’m the only member of my lunch crowd that’s “in the office”.  Not in the mood for the any of the regular spots, I open up my “lists” to see what is near the office.  Every restaurant on the list appears to be Asian and I’m just not in […]

Holy Taco – Atlanta, GA

Holy Taco has been on the list of places that I wanted to try for several months, but we never seemed to be in that neighborhood (East Atlanta Village) AND to be in the mood for tacos at the same time. We arrived around 2:00 on a Sunday and, aside from the party of eight […]

Bud and Allie’s Taco Bar – Seaside, FL (Photo Blog Post)

As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.  

Papi’s – Atlanta, GA

As our youngest was preparing to head back to college, we asked if there was a particular place that she would like to eat.  Her first thought was Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill, on Ponce de Leon.  I’ve said for years that the best Cuban sandwich in Atlanta was at the old Havana Sandwich Shop.  […]

Pollos Asados Rio Grande – Odessa, TX

As I was waiting outside Watts Burgers, I noticed the constant flow of traffic at Pollos Asados Rio Grande.  Roughly twenty cars in twenty minutes.  And since a) my burger was nothing to write home about (or to both of y’all about), b) I had two hours plus before my flight back through Dallas and […]
