Grazing: Chicharrones at Taqueria El Sori
April 24th, 2009 by Web Editor in grazing
I was beside myself. The woman behind the counter at Taqueria El Sori inside Fiesta Foods (2839-2863 Buford Highway) extended me a little Styrofoam cup, repeating the words “rico, rico.”
I took the cup and speared a piece of the meat with my fork. The outer layer of skin was slightly springy and covered with a relatively thick layer of fat that melted in my mouth as I chewed. But there was also a bit of meat clinging to the morsel. It was moist with peppery broth and slightly chewy, flooding my mouth with the taste of fresh pork. I speared a chunk of green chile in the broth in which the meat was cooked. It was mildly hot and almost sweet.

reading this earlier this morning made me realize the current tragedy of my life: it’s been a year since i’ve been on a buford hwy crawl. that’s just sad.

Good call, Cliff. This place is the real deal. Great carnitas and lengua tacos today – and the salsas are quite nice.
