Restaurants A phenomenal green sauce
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:35 PM
I've been cooped up at home with the cold from hell since last Thursday, but finally emerged today. I headed down Buford Highway to release my sinuses from bondage once and for all with some spicy food.
I decided to stop in Fiesta Foods in the Sun Tan Center (2839-2863 Buford Hwy.), the oddly named strip mall where Phuket used to be located. I headed to Taqueria el Sori in the back, where I intended to try just one taco but ended up having three.
The best part about my lunch, besides getting to practice my Spanish with some very friendly folks, was the array of sauces in giant molcajetes, especially this tangy, slightly fiery green sauce that tasted just-made. The cook insisted I also try her terrific salsa of nopales. And she pulled out a big bowl of sliced radishes too.
There's also a cool juice bar inside the grocery.
More in an upcoming "Grazing" column.

I like this place a lot. The salsa is indeed fiery and delicious. Try the sopes next time. They make them and the tortillas by hand. Barbacoa excellent too.

I did try the sopes, just didn't want to give the whole story away. The tortillas, corn ones, were some of the best I've had in town.
