Mascogo Tacos

"Pop-up stand graduate Mascogo hosts a regular crowd of Agnes Scott College students, neighborhood families, and taco lovers in its Decatur brick-and-mortar (though it’s more of a super bare concrete wall than anything). While the tacos here can’t compete with the bangers on our best taco guide, they are solid and good enough for a quick, budget-friendly bite if you’re in the area. You can get three for $12, with 13 protein options like vegan chorizo, chicken tinga, and our favorite, the juicy barbacoa. Plus, they’re heavy-handed on the tequila here, so it’s a great pre-game spot to post up with a margarita in one hand and a chip covered in spicy jalapeño queso in the other. Food Rundown Jalapeño Queso It’s creamy, spicy, and better than your average queso. video credit: Juli Horsford Papas Con Chile These potato wedges come dripping with garlic aioli and a little bit of spicy salsa macha. It’s a good appetizer, especially if a strong love for potatoes runs in your veins. video credit: Juli Horsford Enchiladas Verdes De Puerco Skip this. Despite being covered in a salsa verde, the enchiladas are so bland that not even the good rice and beans on the side can save it. Tacos All tacos are served on housemade corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and salsa verde. The pollo asado and barbacoa are the most flavorful proteins, so make sure to get those." - Juli Horsford
