The mark of a great restaurant in general, and a great Mexican restaurant in particular, is that no one seems to mind the wait. And lunchtime is certainly an especially busy, crowded time at Taqueria Del Sol's, now with several Atlanta-area locations. While in line, grab a paper menu by the entrance so that you'll be ready to order at the counter. Then find a table table either inside the restaurant or on the blue-fenced patio, which is heated during the winter. Meals are served on parchment paper in red baskets, and you may start with pork green chili, beef red chili or shrimp corn chowder, among other items. Also choose from three dips to go with tortilla chips: the salsa trio, guacamole or cheese dip. Try a variety of tacos that are small in size but full of flavor: the Memphis tacos, with chopped, smoked pork, spicy jalapeño coleslaw and tequila barbecue sauce; breaded and deep-fried tilapia tacos with pickled jalapeños; or the fried chicken breast tacos with lime jalapeño mayo, lettuce and tomato. Enchilada options include cheese, beef brisket or roasted chicken, and sides include Mexican rice, turnip greens and salads. Special items change weekly but may include such dishes as shrimp firecrackers (crab-stuffed shrimp with green bean and spinach sauté) and Philly tacos (grilled steak, jalapeños, onions, mushrooms and jalapeño cheese all wrapped in a flour tortilla). Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner Tue–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Tacos in the 2009 Creative Loafing readers' poll.
