I get hungry every time I read this thread. I'm going to start checking out these places the second I have money to burn. Asian food is the shit, and I love seafood. My first mission is to find a good falalel joint!

Attention fellow inmates of Snellville & Lilburn:

Taqueria & Pupuseria Rosita (just look for the word Rosita)
(770) 979-2900
4121 Stone Mountain Hwy
Lilburn, GA 30047

It's in the strip mall with Home Depot. We could never check this place out because they close at 7pm (also closed on Sunday, like everything else in Snellville), but Chris managed to sneak in there just in time last night. Chris says he thinks it's Salvadoran, and there's a majestic Wall of Food Photos that you point at to order. My veggie burrito was so huge I just ate the second half for lunch. Chris had shrimp tacos. We also got some delicious things made out of soft tortilla + cheese + a flower that he thinks was called "papoose" or something like that. Delish.

I'm used to weak green sauce, so I put a pile of it on my burrito and almost blew my tongue out of the back of my head. She's not fucking around with the hotness. Thankfully I had horchata because I can't get enough of that stuff, and I was able to douse the fire.

Awesome and authentic. Finally. Fuck you, Chili's.

i rarely venture that far north , i know that place harmony on buford highway has awesome vegan orange beef tips, and there is a pizza place across from the toco hills shopping center that's pretty good, the pink pony has decent nachos, though the Food at the cheetah is much better and lunch there is pretty cheap
as far as atlanta goes i normally eat at ---the porter, the albert, tin lizzys in grant park, the majestic, the five spot , blue frog,

Damn, I had no idea there were some people with similar tastes around here!

My favorites on Buford Hwy are Bo Bo Garden (Pinetree Plaza), Ming's BBQ, Corner BBQ II, Quoc Huong (all three in Asian Square), So Kong Dong and Han Il Kwan.

And I really like Canton House and Royal China for dim sum.

There's an El Taco Velez near work on Roswell that I go to.

There's a Vietnamese place in Pinetree Plaza that just recently turned from Vietnamese food to cajun seafood! Want to check it out.

I'm down for whatever metal food gathering anyone wants to do.

Been eating at El Senor Taco a bit lately. Kinda new, close to my house. Cheap as hell and they always throw in some fried peppers that are friggin' delicioso.

El Taco Veloz beats all. I found a really good 99 cent taco joint way up Buford Hwy going towards Duluth, bit of a drive from 285 though.

Fingers crossed that this new anti-Mexican law set to go in effect won't shut down too many Buford Hwy restaurants.

Their fish tacos own! I tried the red menudo and couldn't get down. I really felt like a cracker that day.

Veloz is always great, but I've had it for so many years that I'm always on the hunt for something new nowadays.

Right now I'm on the lookout for a joint with a kickass enchilada plate and a drive through window.

Canton House dim sum is the best I've found.

The best friend chicken I've had in a long time was at Leroy's off howell mill. The portions are stupidly large...you can eat 2 times for 10 bucks.

I had a 9/10 falafel at this hole in the wall off of Euclid ave, close to the variety.
Speaking of non Amurrcan food...
Can anyone recommend a place to get some good pho? I've had a insatiable craving lately.

Backed 100%. There are many great pho joints on Buford Hwy, but PDL is extra good. There's another one Jonesboro Rd (aka Buford Hwy South), if you're closer down that way.

I'm not sure if it's still there, but Falafel King in Emory Village was pretty rad a few years ago. Though, last I knew they'd added sushi to the menu and that sounds like a pretty dodgy mix, imho.

Yep...Pho Dai Loi is the place in the corner of that plaza, right?

I don't eat Pho anymore because every kind seems to contain animal stock, but I'll straight fuck up some tofu Bún.
