Welcome to Midtown Taco Mac!

I am so happy!  Taco Mac has come to Midtown...just three blocks from my apartment.  What a wonderful thing!  A few times out of the year I get this huge craving for Buffalo wings.  Good, meaty, deliciously hot Buffalo-style chicken wings.  And with them, a nice pint of fruity beer - like a Hefewiezen or Hoegaarden.  I'm not a beer drinker, but when I have wings - oh yeah.  They go better with beer than with a house merlot.  The past few times I've had these cravings, I satiated my appetite at the Virginia Highland's Taco Mac.  From what I've read, I believe it's the original one.  It's a great location, but the parking stinks.  My husband and I take the scooter usually, whenever venturing into Virginia Highland.  The Buffalo wings are so good, I overlook the parking or braving the chilly weather on the scoot.  After checking out the Taco Mac website, I honestly didn't realize how many restaurants there are in Georgia.  Good for them -- I'm glad they are successful.  For those that have never heard of Taco Mac, don't expect to find a Mexican restaurant.  You can read here at this link why a place known for it's Buffalo wings and huge selections of beer on draft has the name Taco Mac.

Anyway, to my great delight, I found out only last week that a Taco Mac was moving into my neighborhood.  It's awesome!  My husband and I went last night and the place is really nice inside.  Flat screen TVs, lots of tables and booths, and a nice sized bar area.  It's a pretty different feel from the one in Virgina Highland -- which is totally fine with me.  I found that one to be a bit small and I usually feel like the oldest one there.  The new one, located in Metropolis on the corner of Peachtree Place and Peachtree Street, is slick, sleek, and very much "midtown."  Love it.  And the wings...just has hot and delicious!  For a main dish, I had the Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries which was very good.  A basic fried chicken sandwich.  The next time I go, I'm definitely having what my husband had.  He enjoyed the South Street Philly.  The bread was soft and warm, the cheese hot and gooey, and the steak, peppers and onions very flavorful.  In addition to great food, the prices are quite reasonable.  Check out the menu
