Tacos & Pitas {Eating My Way Home}

As I wrapped up my work day, I wondered what I’d get to eat on my way home. My teammates took a break at the food court, and though I sat with them, I had to get a deliverable complete before I headed home. So, I skipped the break and pounded out a doc instead.

After bidding adieu to my co-workers, I headed towards Buckhead. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get exactly, but I knew there were some good options there. I considered going back to Cafe Sunflower to try out some of their special entrees, but I just couldn’t get the Asian taco restaurant, which my cousin actually tried to take me to on Sunday night out, of my head.

Taqueria Tsunami it was! I was glad my cousin had driven me here before because the restaurant seemed to be a bit hard to find from the road.

The inside was open and modern. I actually felt pretty comfortable eating here alone, and I’m not a fan of solo dining.

I did a quick search on Yelp to see what was popular. Many people recommended the Pacific Rim tacos, as well as, the combo (2 tacos and a side).

I ended up getting both – the combo, the Pacific Rim tacos, and something else. I asked my waitress for recommendations, and she suggested the Thai taco.

The Pacific Rim tacos were made with mahi mahi, shredded lettuce, and a light sauce. They were really good, though, maybe not the best choice for a date since they’re a little messy.

But, the Thai taco stole the show for me. They were spicy, sweet, savory, and simply delicious all in one little package. In addition to the flavor, I also really enjoyed the variety of textures – from the tender chicken to the crunchy veggies and smooth sauce.

I could eat these tacos at least once a week. Too bad this place is so far away!

{Order me!}

Just look at that tortilla – soft with a crisped outside.

Lunch was a total win. I spent almost the same amount of money ($8 for the combo!) and time at Taqueria Tsunami as I did in the food court for a pre-made sandwich!

I can see why my cousin likes Taqueria Tsunami so much – I’d definitely like to come back here one day!

And I had one more pit stop before heading home – to Cafe Sunflower to pick up cake to go for my sister and hubby. After a quick pick up, I hit the road headed north.

I stopped by my parents’ house on the way home so I could check my email before the end of the work day. Dad and I decided to get dinner at one of our favorite places in town – Pita House!

We ordered the special, so we got a free drink. I definitely recommend their homemade lemonade – sweet and tart and so right.

Dad and I shared a couple plates.

I’m always impressed with Pita House because they pretty much make everything from scratch. I mean, I think they even pickle their own vegetables!

And dad and I enjoyed some baklava over talks of the future before I had to hit the road again.

Hubby was excited to see the cake, and I was happy to help him finish the slice with a couple glasses of cold milk.

Phew! Not only was my work trip a success, but I had fun seeing my cousin, hanging with family, shopping, and enjoying so many delicious eats!
