Since Ash Wednesday I have been on a Lenten mission, of sorts.
It’s not really an admirable mission, like donating more of my time and treasure to deserving organizations and causes. But, it’s a fun goal that I am excitedly tackling every (almost) Friday.
Since my Catholic faith prohibits me from enjoying meat on Friday’s during Lent, I have decided that this is a great time to find out who has the best fish tacos in Buckhead.
So far, I’ve only been able to check out two places: La Fonda (on Peachtree Street) and Tin Lizzy’s (on Piedmont Road).
So far, the fish tacos at La Fonda are my favorite. I went with the tilapia, but they also offer salmon. The spicy sauce make these tacos delicious.

Tin Lizzy's Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos
Tin Lizzy’s run a close second. Shea, Kelly, Nick and I dined there two weekends ago. Shea and I both opted for the special of the evening, mahi mahi fish tacos. The tacos come with an assortment of salsas, both vegetable and cream based. But, I found them to be not quite as spicey and flavorful as those at La Fonda’s.
On a side note, the margarita’s at Tin Lizzy’s are pretty awesome. But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad margarita!
So far, here’s my ranking of Buckhead’s fish tacos:
- La Fonda
- Tin Lizzy’s
Where should I try next?
