Dollar Tacos, Round 1

So the past year or so I have been visiting a great taco place every Tuesday. Located in an old Hardee's building, Don Taco on Buford hwy has the best tacos at the very best deal. $1 tacos every Tuesday. Choice of flour or corn tortilla. About 1/2 mile outside the perimeter this taco place has one of the best salsa bars to boot! Different types of red and green sauce, guacamole, onion, cilantro and limes, all for the taking.
I usually opt for the carne asada. The pork (carnitas) are awesome as well but can be a little greasy sometimes. The flavour is out of this world good. Chorizo and pastor are also great options. Everything I have eaten here has been great.


So, running on the $1 taco theme ... Blue Frog Cantina, in East Atlanta Village, has started to offer $1 tacos on Monday & Tuesday nights. A friend and I decided to give it a try, being so close to home. We were told we had a choice of corn or flour tortillas. We both asked for flour but received corn. No biggie i thought. Pretty run of the mill options, chicken, ground beef, steak, veggie and pork. All for dine in only, no take out. Don Taco lets you take as many as you want to go for a $1! The amount of meat on these tacos is laughable. They dress them with lettuce, a little cheese and a little tomato. Really bland and nothing special tacos. No where near the size, taste or sauce selection that Don Taco has to offer.
When comparing the two places I have come up with this description.


1. Don Taco for the taste and value.


2. Don Taco for the friendly service.
S**t, Blue Frog wait staff is too busy being social with each other to care about the customers. Typical E Atl establishment where the staff is too cool to work.


3. Don Taco for the consistency of their food and service. Don't forget the new jukebox at the Buford Hwy location that is chocked full of metal music.


4. Blue Frog Cantina for mediocre food and crappy staff. They do serve liquor!
Don Taco serves cervasa!
