I really like this place.  The meat tastes different than Gop Chang on Fire, but the sides are what makes this one stand out.  The other advantage is that there’s never really a long wait.

I like this buffet.  Pretty spicy and they have a lot of items.  Unlike my Naan and Curry, they have your staple salad with the tamarind sauce.

One of my favorite places for “home cooking” Thai food.  There is something to be said about comfort food from all cultures–nothing fancy in the presentation, the point is to eat and be happy. 🙂

Puras Tortas $.50 Tacos! :)

Puras Tortas is in the food court!  Get some tacos and play some classic games in the arcade! 🙂


Doing anything Wednesday? Because there’s a place that has $.50 tacos every Wednesday/Miercoles!!  The tacos are a bit smaller than Don Pedro’s but for a 50 cent snack they are amazing.  It’s a shame corporate fast food has brainwashed us with the “dollar/value” menu when I would rather support small restaurants with much better choices.

Here are the tacos to scale.  If you have spare change in your car, you too can eat like a king here todos los miercoles!  I can’t decide if I like the green or red hot sauce better, but both are a must.  The Buford Hwy corridor in the ATL just has an abundance of affordable food.  If you planned your routes smartly a person could save money and eat some really flavorful food every day, from $1.50 steamed pork buns to $.50 tacos.

About Me

About Me

Hello there! My name is Boon, an artist/photographer out of the Atlanta, Georgia area. I guess you could say I'm also a "tour guide" of sorts for visitors, or even friends who haven't strayed from their culinary comfort zone. I haven't been everywhere, but I've been lucky enough to share plenty of delicious meals with friends and family over the years!

So for those of you thinking about visiting or even moving to the "sleepy south," hopefully you'll quickly find that the metro Atlanta area is so diverse with some of the best food!

Thanks for visiting my food blog--an offshoot of all my random adventures with friends and family.

About Atlanta, GA, U.S.A.

Atlanta, specifically Gwinnett and DeKalb County has some of the best Asian food in the southeast U.S. In fact, some folks from surrounding states drive 4-5 hours here just to eat and grocery shop!

We are definitely spoiled as you can find everything from Korean, Ethiopian, Indian, Indonesian, Mexican, Chinese, Lao, Thai, and Vietnamese food--combined with dozens of Asian coffee and dessert hang outs.

If you're new to this area, brave our horrible traffic, and just take a drive up and down Buford Hwy, Jimmy Carter Blvd and Pleasant Hill Road. So much to eat in every direction! :)

Meet me for Dinner! :)
