Real Tacos Continues Explosive Growth with Newest Location Opening in Buckhead in Spring 2024

Tuesday, October 10th, 2023

Rreal Tacos, the home of authentic Mexican street food in Atlanta, has signed the lease on its newest location in Buckhead at Tower Place. This expansion marks a significant accomplishment for the concept as owners Damien Otero and Miguel Hernandez are the only restaurateurs to open four restaurants in Atlanta in the last 12 months. The owners have acquired the former Farm Burger space at 3365 Piedmont Road in Tower Place. The restaurant is slated to open in spring 2024.

The entrepreneurs have successfully created a union of the authentic flavors of Mexican street food along with the experience of a modern, high-energy taqueria and offer a program where top-level performing employees have an opportunity to own equity in new locations. “We remain focused on creating opportunities for our team members to become our partners as we expand,” says Hernandez.

Rreal Tacos is a beloved culinary destination among Atlanta food enthusiasts, and the new Buckhead location reflects the growing demand for the eatery’s simple but elegant tacos. The eatery strives to recreate the unique characteristics of tacos from various regions of Mexico such as asada from northeastern Monterrey, birria barbacoa from Guadalajara or taco al pastor, one of Mexico City's signature tacos. Stuffed quesadillas, slow-cooked pork carnitas, desserts like platano macho (sweet plantain with cream and brown sugar) and smoky mezcal cocktails provide guests with a large selection from which to choose. In addition, guests experience a vibrant atmosphere along with exceptional service.

“Atlantans are craving authentic Mexican cuisine in an upscale atmosphere,” says Otero. “We have very high standards for our menu and are committed to using the freshest cuts of meat and key ingredients sourced from Mexico.”

 Rreal Tacos’ growth continues its momentum. The eatery boasts locations in Midtown, West Midtown, Chamblee, Sandy Springs and Cumming, with plans for further expansion beyond Buckhead into Decatur, Lawrenceville and Sugar Hill.

“Most restaurant groups do not offer the opportunity for growth the way we do,” says Hernandez. “Some spend insane amounts of money to build restaurants, but our strategy is changing the game. We’re completely debt-free, and each expansion has been accomplished with our profits. “
