All in all everything tasted great. Got a churro at the front as well and would recommend that or any of their fruit juices.

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

Best tacos I've had in Atlanta so far! They're slightly bigger than Mexican street tacos, they're…read morevery filling, and sold individually. The lady at the counter was very sweet.

"I'm going to kill your little Mexican friend I'm Cuban, B!"…read more-- Half Baked (1998) This little convenience store is just a tiny corner joint just off Buford Highway towards PDK. It isn't much to look at from the street, but if you are looking for an authentic Cubano or Cuban coffee, this is the right hole-in-the-wall to stop into. After craving a real Cuban sandwich for 12 straight hours, I woke up salivating for one. A friend had told me about Chiquita and I made it a part of my Sunday errands. I stepped into the store and ordered my sandwich. I was told it would be 7 minutes. I looked around and checked out the grocery items, cold case (packed with pure cane sugar sodas) and other convenience items. I could smell the mojo pork heating up and could not stand the wait. Once I had the sandwich in hand, I didn't care about how hot it was. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside - practically crumbling away as I bit into it. Slices of ham (the ham was a bit forgettable), swiss cheese, mustard and mayo, chopped mojo roasted pork and pickles (possibly bread and butter - sweeter than expected). The entire sandwich was the perfect combination and so flavorful. Probably one of the best renditions I have had in the city - I'll hit this place up again.

Whoops! This is an overdue review from December…read more Xela Pan Cafe is a Guatemalan restaurant/bakery/convenience store on Buford Hwy in Doraville. Just a quick warning that, depending on which employee helps customers, there may be a slight issue with their understanding of English. They absolutely speak and understand Spanish. Xela Pan Cafe is in a small strip mall that is next to the strip mall where Kung Fu Tea is located. There is limited parking in front of the storefronts. This small business is made up of a restaurant, a bakery and a convenience store all run by the same employees. The convenience store sells a lot of seemingly random items, just about all in glass display cases. I noticed a lot of things to help with digestion and upset stomach, and hoped that this wasn't an indication of their food (Thankfully, it turned out that it wasn't!). The bakery items were in a separate area of display cases, but customers are free to self-serve themselves by using a tray to place whatever they choose, using either tongs or disposable gloves (I can't remember which they use) to take the items out of the cases. R and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning just before 9 am. There is an order counter, but that's for customers who are ordering items to go. Once the employees found out that we were going to eat breakfast inside the restaurant, we were told to seat ourselves and an employee would be by soon with menus. The restaurant area contains mostly booths, with some tables and chairs in an area between the order counter, convenience store and bakery areas. A very helpful and knowledgeable server came by our table, bringing a couple of glasses of water and menus. For a small restaurant, there were many items on the menu. We both ordered the scrambled eggs, rice, black beans, plantains and cheese. We didn't wait very long, in spite of other customers lined up at the counter to order takeout meals. The scrambled eggs with tomato and onion in them tasted a little bland, but I dressed it up with some bottled red hot sauce that was on the table. The plain tasting white rice, which had peas, carrots and corn in it, was pressed into a heart shape. The black beans in its watery sauce were very good. The plantains were cooked to a perfect firmness, and had a perfectly matching natural sweetness to them. The small block of slightly salty cheese also had a nice firmness to it. The price for each meal was very reasonable. Overall, this was a good dining experience.

La Espiga Dorada is a Mexican food stand located next to the food court inside Plaza Fiesta. If you…read moreenter the market from the corner entrance on the Clairmont Road/Dresden Drive side of the building, La Espiga Dorada will be the very first business on your right. They occupy stall N2 and they also have a freestanding wraparound counter (K16, I believe) nearby on the market's main walkway. I was drawn to this stand, like many other similar ones in this market, by all of the colorful, fresh fruit on display. In addition to fruit and fruit treats, La Espiga Dorada sells chicharrones preparados (a Mexican street food made with deep-fried pork rinds and a variety of ingredients like cotija cheese and avocados), raspados (shaved ice desserts), pina loca (Mexican-style pineapple and fruit salad), Jarritos locos (cocktails made with Mexican soft drink Jarritos), equites (another Mexican street food made with corn), an assortment of breads and pastries, and fresh-churning aguas frescas. If you don't speak Spanish, you may encounter a language barrier at this stand (as well as many other businesses at Plaza Fiesta). Luckily, you can point and choose, either at the actual food that you want or at pictures, to get what you want. I visited the stand in the walkway and didn't see prices posted, so you may have to ask for pricing. I got a mangonada (a.k.a. chamango) for $5. I'm not sure if they accept credit cards. I paid in cash. The mangonada was OK. La Espiga Dorada's version is made with a mango sorbet, chamoy sauce (a salty, sweet, sour, and spicy Mexican condiment, dark red in color), thick slices of mango, chili powder, a tamarind straw, and I think lime juice too. There was one mangonada on display behind the glass, but mine was made fresh. Some places chop their mango into smaller pieces, but La Espiga Dorada serves them in long slices and places them inside the cup so that they sort of "flower" out. It's a neat presentation. Unfortunately, the mango wasn't very ripe or sweet. Instead, it was on the harder, more sour side. It wasn't bad, but I've definitely had better. The treat was packed with plenty of strong and intense flavors from sour to sweet to spicy to salty (like the chamoy sauce described above). The portion size was generous too. Service was good. The lady behind the counter was nice.
