The mark of a great restaurant in general is that no one seems to
mind the wait. And lunchtime is certainly an especially busy, crowded
time at Taqueria Del Sol's, now with several Atlanta-area
locations. While in line, grab a paper menu by the entrance so that
you'll be ready to order at the counter. Then find a table either
inside the restaurant or on the blue-fenced patio, which is heated
during the winter. Meals are served on parchment paper in red baskets,
and you may start with pork green chili, beef red chili or shrimp corn
chowder. Also choose from three dips to go with tortilla chips: the
salsa trio, guacamole or cheese dip. Try a variety of tacos that are
small in size but full of flavor: the Memphis tacos, with chopped,
smoked pork, spicy jalapeño coleslaw and tequila barbecue sauce;
breaded and deep-fried tilapia tacos with pickled jalapeños; or the
fried chicken breast tacos with lime jalapeño mayo, lettuce and tomato.
Special items change weekly but may include such dishes as shrimp
firecrackers (crab-stuffed shrimp with green bean and spinach sauté) or
hamburger tacos with ultra-spicy New Mexico chiles. Stellar margaritas
are not to be missed.
"Seafood
specials can be really special. Old favorites - spicy turnip greens,
jalapeño slaw and carnita tacos - are still worth saying 'olé' to as
well."

Full bar. Serving lunch Mon-Sat, dinner Tue-Sat. Closed Sun.
