Bread is my kryptonite. You know how some people absolutely must have dessert? I’m like that with bread. Slathered with butter and I’m in heaven. Well, I was in this new tiny plaza on BuHi near Shallowford Rd. And I smelled fresh-baked bread. They bake the breads in the premises!!! Mexican breads and pastries including [...]

Guns, Farmers, and Mexicans
I’m on a roll here. Two farmer’s markets in two weeks. Ha! Except I really didn’t come for the farmer’s market originally. It just so happens that there was a gun show inside the farmer’s market. Yep, that’s what I said, too. So this past Sunday, there was a gun show that my mom dragged [...]
Bad Dog Taqueria

Pollo Real (Assi Plaza Duluth)
Two words: Mexican Soup. The beef or chicken soup is fantastic. The broth is very flavorful with lots of tender meat, chunks of potatoes, carrots, corn, rice, and cilantro. I prefer the beef soup with huge cubes of fork-tender meat. Spicy. Tangy. Tasty. It’s the epitome of comfort food.
The flame-grilled [...]
Zapata Mexcian Cuisine (Norcross)
I’ve been to this place twice before back when they were still located on Peachtree Parkway. This new location in the heart of downtown Norcross is more upscale in ambiance and is filled with office people.
First up, the requisite chips and dip. The salsa is made with fresh tomatoes and cilantro and had [...]
