"In the short term, I was invited to dinner with some good friends who proposed Los Hermanos. First, I should admit to having eaten here often before the restaurant expands into the adjoining room. You will find Los Hermanos on the left side of the Publix shopping center in Tucker, right on Hugh Howell Rd (Lawrenceville Hwy separates to the left and drives as Hugh Howell when you come from i285, go to the right fork. If you're familiar with mobile phone hardware it's the shopping center you would meet if Cowan Rd left instead of left or right on Hugh Howell. My previous experience was very good until the restaurant was extended. I had the misfortune to eat there a busy night after the sitting was doubled and it was just terrible. I thought they needed some time to bring their act together and last night was my first visit ever. It's been for several years, so it was time for another attempt, right? I am pleased to report that Lost Hermanos is actually recovered and I give him a solid four stars. The service was amazing and the food was excellent. The starter salsa is very different from your usual brother-in-law Mex tariff. The term that comes into mind is fleshy, not that there is a stain animal in it it is the heavy taste of ripe tomatoes. You get that in the front, then a hit of Cilantro (there is a lot of fresh green in the salsa), with the remaining flavors last. There is nothing to the taste that you can from the stuff from the bottle. Also it does not have the heavy acid you usually taste in conventional salsas I liked it quite well. My only change would be to add some heat either a bit of Hatch green Chile or to keep it fresh a mint of Serrano pepper. The chips were also brilliant and above average (both fresh and the taste/smell combo), somewhat thicker than average and very tasteful. Although this restaurant is billed as Taqueria, the rest of the menu and especially the specials always tempt me to get something different than Tacos last night, I chose the Mol Chicken Enchiladas from their special menu. Wow, that was perhaps the best mole I had in Atlanta, thick and rich with the combination of earthy flavors and chocolate, which makes mol dishes so delicious. Along with a side of rice, a spoon full of pico and a mex first for me, green beans. I know it sounds strange, but the green beans were made with onions and large pieces garlic, heavy sauteed and were pretty good. I give this court a simple 4 stars (I also uploaded a picture of the plate). My companions chose the Shrimp Corn Chowder (I had it before and it is pretty good) with the only comment that it was sweeter than she expected, but they still thought very well. They also shared the house Tamales from the special menu that they ran over. These were two deceaseds, a pig with green Chile, and the other chicken in red (picked like agate) with black beans. The pig had big pieces while the chicken looked to pull out and slightly shredded. They were particularly brightened with pigs, even show the wonderful consistency of the mascara and size of the pieces. I think I will try the next time it is offered as a special offer. From memory I had a few other dishes, especially the shrimp soup comes from the special menu to imagine a huge margarita glass filled with gazpacho with the rim lined with peeled shrimps delicious! I also had the carne asada burrito and the fajitas in various combinations all quite well. All plates came loaded with food you don't leave hunger. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food you receive. The three of us spent about $45 with drinks (two entries, one divided, soup, two Sangrias and one beer). Overall a good experience with great service. The only failure of this restaurant is the lack of Tequila, as Los Hermanos only serves beer and wine combinations (also the Margarita is made with wine and, in my opinion, is not worth the effort). If you're in a beer mood you're in luck as the selection is better than what you'll find in a typical swag mex location (including Blue Moon, 420, and Yuengling). They also offer a selection of entry level California wines for the Winos, but the Snobs won't be happy. Last night I had the Sangria and it was OK gave an intensity of the taste I liked, but little snap the fresh fruit felt like small pieces of apple (hard to tell about the flavors except consistency). Not great. We lost the dessert, but if I were hungry, I would probably have ordered the Tres or Flan the former as one of my Faves."
