Taco Pete

Where to Eat in East Point, College Park, and Hapeville | Eater Atlanta

"The original Taco Pete was founded in Los Angeles in 1966. This corner-situated taco stand in East Point is its second location. Call ahead to order tacos to be ready upon arrival – an order generally takes about 15 minutes, but the flavor and prices are worth the wait. While the name promotes the tacos, Taco Pete’s wings are easily East Point’s best. They come in hot, mild, honey bbq, or lemon pepper and rival Atlanta’s most popular wings when they’re fresh from the fryer. The owners recently opened a Central Avenue bar in Hapeville called Taco Pete Bistro, which has an intimate dive feel and is expected to offer dine-in service soon after serving customers exclusively via takeout and delivery throughout the pandemic. Call for takeout. Masks required." - Mike Jordan
