Restaurants Do not photograph the burritos
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Thu, Dec 27, 2007 at 5:07 PM
Man, I'm tired of people in Mexican restaurants screaming, "No pictures!" at me. Do they think I'm an immigration detective?
Above is the only pic I could take at El Taco Veloz. As soon as the shutter clicked, the yelling started.
This is not the original restaurant on Buford Highway, but is located at 3245 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road. That's the part of Chamblee-Dunwoody that is west of Buford Highway. The area is like a town in Mexico, and we were the only gringos in sight.
Unlike the original Taco Veloz, this one has an inside dining room, and the menu seems to be a bit more comprehensive.
My favorite remains the chile relleno burrito. There's nothing else like it in the city.
After dinner we walked across the parking lot to Martha's Bakery (PanderÃa Martha), where I scored a slice of tres leches cake layered with strawberries. There are zillions of pastries on display here in wood cases, too.

Man I've been looking for some great Mexican in the Atlanta area. I'll have to try out Taco Veloz. I love Mr. Taco in Roswell, and I think El Amigo on Howell Mill Rd is the best Mexican restaurant in the area.

Oh boy, can you get anymore pedestrian than El Amigo and Mr. Taco.... if you like that you should try Salsa then. El Rey del Taco pweez.
I just can't wait to take my camera for a little extra excitement.... thanks for the tip!!!
"can you get anymore pedestrian than Mr. Taco?" Huh? Whether or not alot of people know about a place doesn't make it any better or worse Leftout Lamont. Let me guess, you think only beer no one else has heard of tastes good, and music no else listens to is worth a damn. As for El Amigo, ignore the other patrons and try the Guadalajara Especial. Thanks again Cliff for the post.
