We wanted to try some of the food in the taqueria earlier this week. La Confianza is Latin…read moreAmerican supermarket that also has a meat market (carniceria), a small bakery (panaderia), and an ice cream store section. As soon as we walked in, R sniffed the air and said, "I smell menudo. I want some." We walked past the small panaderia area and, finding ourselves at the rear of the store where the taqueria was, we looked at all the food behind the glass in the kitchen area: chicharron, whole roasted chicken, pupusas, cooked beans and rice. There were other sections opening up to the dining area side, and these had toppings - radish, cucumber, beet, jalapeño, mix of cilantro and onion, lime wedges, and three different hot sauces - that customers could self-load onto their taqueria food purchases. R ended up getting a bowl of menudo with some tortillas, and I ordered a half of the rotisserie chicken and three tacos (two al pastor and one carnitas) made with homemade corn tortillas. We sat down at one of the booths that are in the dining area, which I think is pretty large for being in a supermercado that has so many different sections. One of the employees brought the food out to us. R liked his menudo, although it didn't have hominy in it, which is how he prefers it. It came in a huge bow, and was packed with meat and tripe. I sampled a little bit, and I thought the soup was on the salty side. My tree tacos were good. The size of the al pastor meat was inconsistent. On one of the two al pastor tacos, there were big and thick cubes of meat, which made it kind of tough, and the cubes of al pastor were smaller and more tender. The al pastor meat had good flavor; I could tell that the meat was marinated and had a hint of pineapple. The carnitas were good also. It's just that they didn't have a bold flavor that I like. I dressed all of the tacos with the complimentary onion and cilantro mix and the hot red sauce. The half of a rotisserie chicken had a light citrusy marinade on the outside. The chicken was a little dry due to being overcooked. In our future visits here (because we just HAVE to try some of the other taqueria menu items!) we plan on trying the ice cream and the different combinations of ice cream, fruits and other toppings as only the Latin Americans can mix up. Before we left, I scoped out the meat department. Most of the items looked very fresh, but I thought the price points were a tad on the high side.

A…read morestraight up hidden gem that I'm sure many people drive past on the daily without even knowing it's here. It's located in the back of a Hispanic grocery store. The two times I've been here, it's pretty busy with people who seem to really appreciate this amazing restaurant. Fair warning: most of the staff is not English speaking so you'll get a chance to practice your Spanish here just like I did. If you're lucky a patron may help you order like one did for me although I didn't really need the help. We ordered quite a bit of food. A seafood tostada, a pupusa with chicharron and queso, a mulita (if I remember correctly), rice and beans, and birria tacos. Every single item I ordered blew me away. Wow wow wow. The staff were so friendly and were very communicative with me even with my broken Spanish. This is a must try if you're in the Lindbergh area. Also it's cash only!

Friendly staff and great food in this little hidden gem. Be sure to try the birra tacos and pozole.read more

I was born and raised in Atlanta, but I am a first-generation American señorita. Both sets of my…read moregrandparents, along with my mother and father, came from Cuba in the early days before Castro's catastrophic revolution. I AM CUBANA PURA Y CON ORGULLO. En mi alma llevo tabaco y café con leche. En mis ojos y de los cuentos de mi madre y mis abuelos, puedo imaginar ese mar azul y bello. En mis oídos puedo escuchar aquellos Versos Sencillos, nacidos del corazón de José Martí and later sung so beautifully by Celia Cruz... and again by Willy Chirino. Cubans are passionate, affectionate people by nature, and for us, food has never been just food. Food is family. Food is memory. Food is home. Every summer when I was growing up, we made the long 12-hour drive from Atlanta to Miami to visit my dad's parents, his four older brothers, all of my cousins, and our Cuban family and friends. We usually broke the trip up into two days, staying in some cheap little motel somewhere around Gainesville and, later, Ocala (we had more money by then and felt like royals going from Days Inn to a Hilton.) And as kids, we always knew when we were finally getting close to Miami. We started seeing Cuban restaurants pop up here and there. Then came Calle Ocho. Croquetas. Pastelitos. Empanadas. Medianoche sandwiches. The smells. The sounds. The flavors. That feeling of, we're here. And when it was time to make the long haul back to Atlanta, everybody in our Cuban family who lived in Georgia already had their requests ready. Our car would literally be packed with boxes of pastelitos, especially pastelitos de guayaba y queso, to bring home and share. Because back then, you simply could not find that kind of authentic Cuban food in Atlanta. For years, that was how we brought a little piece of Miami -- and really, a little piece of Cuba -- back home with us. Then one day, my best friend Alicia , una Cubanita TREMENDA, took me to Buena Gente. I remember walking in and immediately thinking: Oh my gosh... I'm in Miami. The smell hit me first. Then the food. Then that familiar feeling I quickly realized I missed so much. Buena Gente didn't just remind me of Cuban food. It reminded me of my grandparents. My cousins. Those long summer drives. Calle Ocho. Boxes of pastelitos stacked in the car for the ride back to Atlanta. It felt familiar in a way that is hard to explain unless you grew up with food tied so deeply to family, culture, and memory. So when I tell you that I take Cuban food seriously, I mean it. And Buena Gente gets it. For this Atlanta-born Cubana, walking through those doors felt a little bit like coming home. AZÚCAR!!!

I knew it when it was at the smaller location before, and the food quality has changed so dramatically. Except for the drinks, we truly felt like the food was lacking flavor. I ordered a reina pepiada and it tasted super flavorless and needed salt and spices and cilantro. My boyfriend ordered the asado negro arepa and liked it but said it also lacked more flavor. The yucca was way too thick and needed way more sauce than what we got to eat with it. Even the plantains lacked salt. I'm not sure if it's because they are trying to cater to a certain audience, but the quality has gone steeply downhill. So much so, I don't think I would go back after that experience. Parking was also a bit difficult to find so plan ahead. There was no line to order. Really sad about how this spot has changed.
