Nene has authentic Mexican Street food. It’s a 8 minute Uber ride away or a 15 minute bus ride. Just walk up Cornelia to Wilson Avenue. Catch the B60 and get off on Trotman. It’s about 1 block away on 14 Star street. Their Taco Tuesday’s are pretty packed, but generally you can get in and out pretty quickly. If you are in the area and want to work off those taco calories you can do some local shopping on Knickerbocker that’s famous for urban street wear.
