I caught this El Milagro truck making its delivery to Fiesta Foods, the location of Taqueria el Sori, the other day. El Milagro is a national company (with an interesting history) but we are lucky to have one of their plants here in Chamblee. The fresh retail tortillas taste nearly homemade when warmed. I love the corn tortillas especially.
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.
