21 Best Restaurants in Atlanta

"Sometimes, pretty days call for great tacos, strong margs, and a perfect patio. El Tesoro has all three. The restaurant’s owners have found a star in Cristina Lugo Soto, who runs the kitchen with her daughter Mayra. Born in Mexico’s Guerrero region, Soto has no formal training but knows exactly how to make killer tamales (the secret is her homemade masa). El Tesoro also offers items rarely seen in Atlanta, such as comforting mulitas—two corn tortillas stuffed with chihuahua cheese and rajas, then griddled with more cheese on the outside. Order it with a side of the refried black beans. Weekend mornings, sample the brunch menu (find more of Atlanta's best brunch, here): There are tacos stuffed with migas and burritos filled with scrambled eggs and salchichon hot dogs." - Allison Weiss Entrekin
