Bad Dog Taqueria Opens in Emory Village
Decatur Metro | May 28, 2011
A variety of news sources report that Bad Dog Taqueria has opened its doors in Emory Village. Creative Loafing’s Omnivore posted part of their press release, which gives some info on what the selection will be…
Using fresh and local ingredients, patrons can satiate their appetites with any cultural quest from Argentina to Korea at Bad Dog. Diners can start their meal with a mix of traditional corn, yucca, plantain, and boniato chips served with three salsas – salsa fresca, plantain pineapple serrano and smoked tomato – or grilled guacamole.
The inventive and playful menu features nine mainstay tacos served on soft tortillas for just $2.99 a piece, including: The Bollywood, a traditional vegetarian Indian samosa with curried potatoes, peas, and served with tamarind coriander chutney; We’ve Got Seoul, a Korean BBQ pork belly taco with Kimchee slaw and salsa verde; Go Fish!, a plantain-encrusted tilapia taco with creamy cilantro sauce and cabbage slaw; and, the Uncle Morty, slow roasted brisket with marinated grilled onions served in its own special sauce.
While the menu is eclectic, Bad Dog’s Yo Mama’s Taco, is the only taco served on a familiar hard shell and promises to be a traditional beef favorite for those who forgot their passport or still prefer the way it was done in the 80s. Taco elements can also be served over a bed of romaine and weekly taco specials, salads and burritos are also available.

Misleading name… I couldn’t find a single dog taco on menu… Guess I’ll still have to go OTP for puppy platas…
But is it open for lunch? They seem to only be open after 5pm.
Ignore my previous question. I found the answer from the link. But, I’ve a new question: Why is a restaurant in Emory Village NOT open for lunch during the week? I’m dying for something new at lunch.
Crikey! Not open for lunch???? Thousands of people at Emory need lunch every day and have very few places to get a good one. [depressed now]
Whatever time you go, try the chickpea mash taco. I inserted the mash part of the name because I could not remember what it was called but it was delish. We went on a “soft” opening day and they had a few of their items available, but not the fish taco which I have to go back and try.
