Plaza Fiesta Food Court
4166 Buford Hwy NE
Atlanta, GA 30345
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.
Some folks only go to Don Pedro for the tacos, which are an insanely affordable $1.59 each last time I looked. I’m old enough to remember when Taco Bell was actually pretty decent and cheap. Way back then a kid could survive off of their soft tacos. These days, Taco Bell and the rest of corporate fast food isn’t really serving you anything decent.
My favorite however is numero uno on the picture menu. I like to get the Carne Asada dinner platter but with no ensalada but mas arroz y frijoles por favor. 🙂 (Hopefully my horrible limited espanol isn’t embarrassing every time I order!) The grilled big green onion is amazing and sometimes the grilled jalapeno borders on psychedelic spicy.
The nachos are pretty good and a meal in itself too! It comes in Chicken or Beef, and they’re never stingy with the sour cream, cheese, or guacamole unlike some places…
This past spring the original Don Pedro was looking quite nice with all the blossoms! 🙂
