“In Atlanta if you want real, authentic Mexico City tacos, you go to Buford Highway, but it’s not a date night kind of place,” Damian Otero, who co-owns Real Tacos with Miguel Hernandez, says in a news release. “Conversely, if you want something upscale with great drinks, it’s a mammoth restaurant with ‘Americanized’ food. We have created a niche intersecting the two.”
The owners have leaned into making authentic Mexican street food with Rreal Tacos, sourcing their taco ingredients from various regions of Mexico using fresh — never frozen — meat marinated for over 12 hours for dishes such as asada from northeastern Monterrey, birria barbacoa from Guadalajara, or taco al pastor, one of Mexico City’s signature tacos.

Chick-fil-A is currently testing bone-in chicken wings in metro Atlanta in a trial that began Oct. 31. Aside from having a secret menu, the popular Atlanta-based chain is cooking up a contender in Atlanta’s chicken wing wars.
The restaurant has reportedly been interesting in serving chicken wings on a trial basis for some time now. With the new chicken wing trial, which runs until Feb. 11, Chick-fil-A hopes to have indisputable proof on whether they need to get into the business.
Where To Find Chick-fil-A Wings In Atlanta
Finding the items won’t be as easy as you’d think. Traditional Chick-fil-A locations won’t have the chicken wings on their menus. You’ll have to visit the company’s new brand Outfox Wings, which comes out of the Little Blue Menu, a “ghost kitchen” concept we reported on last year.
Little Blue Menu is a separate brand from the traditional Chick-fil-A offerings we know and love. The two outfits have totally different menus.
What Chick-Fil-A Location Has Chicken Wings?
Truett’s Chick-fil-A located at 3649 Hwy 138 SE, Stockbridge, GA 30281 is the only location selling the chicken wings, Chick-fil-A said. Here is a map to help you find it.

If you’re in the mood for a hidden gem with an open kitchen, come to the Omni Hotel’s New South Kitchen.
Here’s what one reviewer says about New South Kitchen. “Good breakfast buffet, but very expensive. Enjoyed my breakfast with a nice variety of good breakfast foods. The service and environment were very nice. Everything was great until I got my $30 bill! Probably will go somewhere else next time just based off the cost even though it was convenient and good.”
9. Wonderkid
777 Memorial Dr. SE, Suite 101A, Atlanta, GA. 30312
Wonderkid is a new Atlanta restaurant from the people behind King of Pops and Big Citizen. The diner-style eatery is a great place for eclectic bites and desserts.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Two Urban Licks: “The atmosphere alone is enough to make you come back for more. The salmon chips were incredible, I could’ve had a double order and been satisfied. The Brisket was perfectly charred and an enormous portion and the Scallops with Grits were absolutely delicious.”

I will sure be going there again for my nature walk. I love the fact that the city of Atlanta is working hard to create these different parks venue for people to be outside and keep them healthy.

South Bend Park, one of the south side’s signature parks, is located at 1955 Compton Dr SE Atlanta. Here’s what one Google reviewer said: “The trail is very nice but the park itself is a bit sketchy. A lot of homeless make the covered areas their residence. The playground, and all play areas for that matter, could use a good pressure washing. The baseball field looks nice but no rec sports are offered by this park. There’s no public engagement from the city at this park. Which is unfortunate because our community needs it! Maybe a burger/hot dog day in exchange for the community to come out and clean up the park while meeting the neighbors. Just a thought.”
Centennial Olympic Park is the best Atlanta park for tourists, business travelers and children.

One Google reviewer said: “Much nicer than it was in the 90s. Yes, it has been that long since I have been there. The Farmer’s Market that runs 9 to 1 most Sundays is great. Less produce and more local artisans with cheese, meats, soaps, bread and on like that. We were there to walk our dogs, but the market was nice. We had wood fired pizza, scones, donuts, coffee, and iced tea. There is produce, but not many. Maybe in warmer months there is more.”

Didn’t give it 5 stars because there is limited shaded area that is subject to being taken over for a birthday party and no off-street parking.”

Hurt Park in downtown Atlanta is a favorite green space near the city’s financial district as well as Georgia State University. Since the main homeless shelter closed in 2017, Hurt Park has been a primary place for homeless people.

“Cool neighborhood park,” one reviewer said. “Perfect for a quiet afternoon of reading or chilling with kids/dogs. The sitting area under the big tree is very shaded for those hot days. Walk over to Sweet Cheats for coffee and something sweet.”
Situated on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, Maddox Park is a hot location due to its inclusion in the Beltline designs. Want easy access? Maddox Park is conveniently located across from the Bankhead MARTA Station.
Here’s what one reviewer said: “With the train station being literally at the park, the industrial ambiance is quite relaxing, if you ask me. The Marta train station is located across the street. Thankfully, a pavilion is close in distance to cool off at & is perfect for hosting parties. The basketball court is gated and filled with great street players. There is also a gated pool with a kiddie umbrella water area. The only thing I dislike is the lack of parking spaces in front of the parks community building.”

If you haven’t tried chicken fried rice, would recommend that, it’s so delicious, my two year old son loved it and i like it too. Try chili chicken and some butter chicken also. We were so happy by the end of our dinner and we are glad we made a good decision ending up at this restaurant. Lastly A big Thank you to Mr. Jewel for his kind service and coordination.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Taste of India:”Asked for chicken briyani and got rice mixed with chicken curry. The guy added ghee rice in front of me. Please don’t buy chicken briyani. Don’t know about other dishes. This is pure adultery. Don’t think people are fools. I want the food corporation to look into this. If you don’t have briyani, inform the customer. Don’t try to prepare your own dishes.”

The cheese rolls are delicious. It’s become my obsession! My fiancé never has to ask where I wanna go for dinner anymore. The answer will always be little Bangkok. Fast service. Delicious food, big portions, reasonable price. I can’t even describe how much I love this place. Thank you.”
At this point, Atlanta cuisine has become indispensable to the South. The largest city in Georgia’s food festivals and culinary events set the tone for the entire Southeast.
Only in Atlanta can the casual observer find specialty food shops, off-the-beaten-path restaurants, farmers’ markets and farm stands all at an affordable price point.
But Atlanta also has trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds.
