Which Mexican restaurant is the best in GA?
Tasting Table experts scoured the Peach State from top to bottom and found that El Tesoro was the ultimate spot for Mexican cuisine. Here’s why:
“Whenever the craving for some delicious queso, perfectly-plated tacos, great cocktails, or outstanding carnitas strikes, El Tesoro will be there,” said Tasting Table writer DB Kelly. “And there’s even more to love, like outdoor seating at a dog-friendly patio (and seriously, can we see more of these, please?). The weekend brunch is worth making plans for, and don’t skip the horchata latte.”
Popular dishes: elote, street style tacos, burrito bowls or tamales
Locations: Edge Wood or West End in Atlanta
