And the Winner Is... Taqueria Los Hermanos

Our first 'Best of Tucker' award will be presented to the talented brothers from Iguala, Mexico.

Patch readers gave a resounding vote of approval to one particular restaurant in our first 'Best Of' poll this week.

The Best Mexican Restaurant in Tucker, with 63 percent of the vote, is , the venerable eatery on Hugh Howell Road that's been delighting palates from far and wide for over a decade.

The five Ballesteros brothers - Raul, Miguel, Eddie, Roel and Orlando - started this fine place back in 2000 and it was such a hit that they doubled its size and also expanded to Lilburn and Lawrenceville. 

The AJC's food critic said it was "the definition of a foodie find, beloved by locals; hailed by critics." Comments on various food blogs range from "I have told my family that if I could pick my last meal...it would be here" to "the best Mexican food I have ever eaten."

Other restaurants that did well in our readers' poll were , , and .

Stay tuned for our next Best Of Readers' Poll, starting Monday morning. The subject? Best place in Tucker to get fit!

Well,in Tucker and many other places it's not humans moving into areas that were once for wildlifeRead More only. The coyotes have no memory of that. This is part of a general acclimitization of wildlife (deer, coyote, fox, turkey - even bear) to suburban and even quasi-urban conditions. Food is plentiful as are hiding places, and enemies are few. Coyotes do not need to be eradicated, but their needs to be a removal and/or sterilization program in areas where coyotes are a threat.

Yes I do believe in protecting wildlife and preserving our natural world as best as possible at thisRead More point. And yes I think we've messed up our planet by over populating as humans. Having said that...now that we have densely populated urban & suburban areas as in the metro Atlanta area including tucker, I think coyotes or rattlesnakes or other carnivorous animals need to be kept to a minimum in densely populated areas...the solution is for us to have zero population growth & preserve lands where wildlife & exist without us encroaching on them...but coyote attacks in backyards 10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people...nah, something's wrong with that...animal control...do your job!!!

I am unapologetic about our human numbers on this wonderful planet! This bit of land that I careRead More for, "10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people" is well-fenced. I do think that Animal Control ought to trap and remove coyotes that threaten my pets! Evidently the coyote wasn't rabid, thank goodness! But this was a LARGE animal, large enough to be a threat to small children. If they run and hunt in packs, they would be dangerous to humans, I think. So it's not just pets.
