Mexican Restaurants in Atlanta

Mexican Restaurants in Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia is a continually growing metropolis that is gobbling up smaller suburban communities every year. This urban sprawl has resulted in a number of great Mexican restaurants in the Atlanta area that are worth visiting. Just keep in mind that eating Mexican food before hitting the links is a tricky proposition, especially when eating at a restaurant with which you are unfamiliar. It may be a wiser choice, therefore, to choose these restaurants as places where you celebrate sinking a 20-foot chip shot or that birdie on the long par-4.

F.R.O.G.S. Cantina

Located in Midtown Atlanta, this restaurants serves Southwestern cuisine with a Tex-Mex flair. One of its biggest draws, however, are the 14 different margarita types and the 50 brands of tequila. You probably want to hit this restaurant after hitting the golf course. The twin terraces provide an authentic Mexican ambiance as you are served a variety of food that includes staples like tacos and enchiladas beside more exotic fare like sauteed spinach and tortillas stuffed with blackened fish. Charlie Yates Golf Club is quite conveniently located about five miles away.

Taqueria Del Sol

Taqueria Del Sol can be found in three locations throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. The menu is a somewhat strange melange of Mexican food and down-home Southern cooking. As a result, you can enjoy Mexican selections like enchiladas or carnitas while a tablemate picks apart batter-fried chicken. One of the highlights of this oddball menu is the chicken with bleu cheese grits made especially tasty with a healthy dose of Tabasco. The speedy greens and tight fairways of the Legacy Golf Links course are just minutes away from the Cheshire Bridge location.

Don Taco

There is absolutely nothing fancy about Don Taco, but fancy often doesn't translate into good Mexican food. What you do get at Atlanta's three Don Taco locations is a fast food feel but authentic Mexican flavor. The salsas come from the kitchen instead of a bottle and menu is distinctly unlike any fast food. Highlights include rib eye tacos, barbacoa shredded beef, Mexican sandwiches and even beef tongue tacos. The atmosphere is lively and sopapillas are fluffy. The marshy course at Wolf Creek is only about 10 miles away from the Buford Highway locations.
