It's obvious that Atlanta loves its tacos by the large number of votes received in this week's Best of Atlanta poll. The taco with the most punch is served up at El Taco Veloz with multiple locations around the city, including Gwinnett county. If you're feeling adventurous, opt for the Lengua (beef tongue) taco, or if you are a traditional lover then order the Carne Asada (charbroiled steak) taco with a hearty side of queso dip.

In a close second place we have a tie between Taqueria del Sol (DeKalb) and Tacos La Villa (Cobb), both with unique Mexican fare. At Taqueria del Sol you can find tacos stuffed with fried chicken (with a jalapeño mayonnaise) or even a Memphis-themed taco with chopped smoked pork with a spicy jalapeño coleslaw and tequila BBQ sauce. Sip on a horchata at Tacos La Villa in Smyrna while dining on what some call one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in town. The price is right here for a tasty taco (or four).
