Coyote’s is my fav by far. I much prefer a locally owned restaurant. The carnitas are wonderful! And they’re mexican rice is the best I’ve ever had. And I LOVE the staff! And yes, the mariachi band is the best

My current route is Clairmont to Mason Mill. Left on Mason Mill to Houston Mill. Right on Houston Mill till it dead-ends into LaVista. Left on LaVista. You can either stay on LaVista until it intersects with Briarcliff or turn right on Sheffield which cuts through to Briarcliff. Left on Sheridan, which comes out at Cheshire Bridge. Take a right on Cheshire Bridge, then a left at Buford Highway connector. Then I get on at 400 to the Lenox exit (no tolls), which is where my office is located. It’s 25 minutes if you are not traveling at peak traffic times… Also, as mentioned above there is no good way. I used to like taking the 36 MARTA bus, but now that it goes through Va-Hi and winds up at the Midtown station, it takes too long…

I usually try to avoid Clifton and Briarcliff as the Emory traffic can be (OK, usually IS) pretty terrible. Probably won’t get any better with the Emory Pointe complex. The Cheshire Bridge to Lindbergh route is normally OK, though the occasional accident on 400 or 85 can divert traffic to the area.

Ooh, I could use that tunnel! I live in Decatur and work in Buckhead so make this drive pretty much every day. As is usually the case, the best route depends on your exact start and finish times and locations. I often take N. Decatur to Highland to Lenox/Cheshire Bridge to Lindbergh, then right on Piedmont. This avoids the bottleneck at Morningside Elementary in the morning. In the afternoon I take Peachtree south to Lindbergh to avoid the backups on Piedmont at Sidney Marcus from people trying to get to 400 or 85.

I think it’s more akin to motorcycles vs. scooters.
