Lola Bellini Bar Says Buh Bye; Cantina Taqueria Says Hello [Dead Pool]

Here To Severe restaurants is continuing on the trend that started with Trois, continued with Cuerno, and even hit Stella.  Kess is reporting that instead of an outright closing of Lola Bellini Bar, Tom Catherall is shuttering the space after New Years with intentions of “re-concepting” the restaurant. There’s no doubt that traffic for this …

Lupe Taqueria Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Ah Riccardo and my dear sweet Lupe Taqueria.  Situated right on Juniper Street in Midtown, I wanted so badly to enjoy your company, to appreciate your culinary statement, and your bubbling atmosphere.  Alas, it was not to be.  What you gave me was a failure of Titanic proportions.  In the blink of an eye you …

Hankook Taqueria Restaurant Review – Westside, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

A lot of people have postulated as to why Hankook Taqueria, the one part Korean cafeteria and one part taqueria, has opened on the Westside.  Whatever the reason, the addition of a Korean inspired restaurant over yonder helps to expand the culinary landscape.  While there are a handful of establishments that serve Korean cuisine, not …

What’s In Store ….

A little busy/tired today – so here’s a sneak peek of some notations I’ll be making in the next few days. Early this week, I made it over to La Pietra Cucina for the first time in a month or so.  After hitting it up nearly 2x a week for a few months, it was …

In my evening web perusal, I stumbled on a new blog by the name of Live To Feast (website).  It looks like the person behind L2F, whomever they are, is setting up shop as a restaurant notation maker, a twitterati, and a pretty solid writer (unlike my own rantings, I haven’t found an grammatical error …

Taqueria Del Sol Restaurant Review In Pictures: Chile Rellenos And All – Westside, Atlanta, GA [Quick Hits]

I think it would be presumptuous of me to assume that the majority of the people who happen upon this little love of mine have no idea about Taquería Del Sol.  In that spirit, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this little chain of taco bars (aka taquerías) is the darling of …

Celia’s Carniceria Y Supermercado In Norcross: Mmmm … Tacos [Great Finds]

   People often say that bloggers, critics, and the like get the most pleasure from writing a scathing note.  While I can’t speak for the rest of them, I’ll tell you that this guy gets the most joy out of recapping an impromptu meal that was anything but expected.  It doesn’t happen often, but when …

Prickly Pear Taqueria Restaurant Review: Still A Little Pointy – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Ever opened your fridge late at night? If you’re like me, it usually makes you squint and promptly throw your forearm up in a measly attempt to ease your eyes.  Well, that’s the kind of reaction I had to a recent meal at the Prickly Pear, a loud and proud taqueria located in the base …

Taqueria El Rey Del Taco: 24-Hour Tacos In Chamblee [Quick Hits]

  Last week, a few of us got together for some lunch at Taqueria El Rey Del Taco. It seems almost like clockwork: once every handful of months, an Atlanta food blogger heads over to Buford Highway to grab some of ERDT’s lauded tacos.  Last week was my turn.

Verde Taqueria Restaurant Review – Brookhaven, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

So last Tuesday (yes – el Cinco De Mayo), a friend whose culinary prowess dwarfs my own, decided to join me for lunch.  She was in the mood for some margaritas; and, Verde Taqueria, the newly opened Brookhaven taqueria, got the call. While the delay in getting this up could be attributed to a busy …
