With the latest fad of local and sustainable ingredients, our journey led us to this impressive taqueria in East Atlanta.  My Mom's coworker, having read my blog noticed that we enjoy tacos, suggested we try Holy Taco for a bit of unique Mexican style.  The developed menu spanning from guacamole to paella complements the informal environment well.  After ordering the Mystery Beer (Goldmine) and a Tecate, our waitress brought over chips and guac to get started.  These chips are unlike others served at Mexican restaurants, they are fried and fluffy, greasy and great!

Katy and I carefully chose which tacos we ordered to make sure we got the full experience.  For myself, roasted beef tongue, roasted pork, and goat, which they happened to be out of goat that evening, so I had to revert to chicken.  For Katy, the brisket, fried tilapia, and the skirt steak.  Looking forward to the goat (and apparently a very popular choice), my favorite of the night was the roasted pork that was cooked long and perfectly topped with Mexican slaw.  The beef tongue was interesting.  For my first time trying it, it wasn't terrible but probably not something I would order on a regular basis.  Katy's favorite was the fried tilapia with slaw and a spicy chipotle aioli.

Because it was too cold when we visited, we will have to come back and enjoy the front porch while trying another Mystery Beer.  Holy Taco is definitely a cool place to drink and dine, although you need to enjoy Mexican food, this experience has something for the risky and reserved.
