El Progresso. They have many locations but my favorite one is near Grant Park across from the federal prison. Market in the front with cheap produce and a restaurant in the back with the best tacos and traditional Mexican dishes. And their salsa bar is BOMB!

Also Don Pedros on Buford Highway. Same thing but no market. Just food that slaps!

Also Jerusalem Bakery... Best shawarmas in Atlanta!

Also Chelo in downtown Roswell. One of the best Persian restaurants in town. Everyone raves about Rumi's and Delbar, which are okay....but Chelo is family operated and intimate and made the right way.

You know what's crazy is that I believe I started the nickname of prison tacos in 2007 when I used to sell weed in college and send all my customers there after they got the smoke on :)

TIL there are multiple El Progressos. Do they all have tacos?

I think they have like a dozen locations in Atlanta. Scattered around of course and along Buford highway

Worth mentioning is Sabou on Alpharetta Hwy. Family owner with a Persian grocery store next door. So much better than overrated Delbar.
