This is another Atlanta legend when it comes to restaurants. Before the restaurant even opens, there’s a line. Every night. Taqueria del Sol comes with a routine. You wait in line. You are allowed to buy a pitcher of margs while you wait in line. You order and then you sit. If you sit at a table before you order, you mess everything up, and you will be told to move your butt.

Taqueria del Sol is another cheapie, but a goodie. They specialize in Southern-style Mexican food, namely tacos, enchiladas and a couple other side items. I usually get guac and chips, but I always get fried chicken tacos. This is an item that I crave constantly. It’s usually my first stop on the way back from the airport.
The decor is minimal, a stainless steel bar, white walls, but I do love the star shaped lanterns. This isn’t a place you’ll sit around in for hours, but it’s a great place to get a quick bite to eat. The crowd is usually young singles stopping in for dinner after the 9-5, lots of pearls, madras and vineyard vines.
Service is fast and loose. You order, sit and your food arrives shortly after that. As long as you obey the rules, there’s no problem.
