Peachtree Corners and the Southwest Gwinnett Chamber welcomed its newest, fast casual Tex-Mex restaurant Capital Tacos, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 5270 Peachtree Pkwy Unit 117A.
The corner taco shop turned nationally awarded Tex-Mex restaurant franchise, got its start in 2013 in Tampa, FL.
The owners brought their scratch-made, innovative flavors to the Peach State with a Johns Creek restaurant that opened in the spring. Its newest eatery here in Peachtree Corners opened this fall.
The brand offers signature flavors at its locations. Capital Tacos did its research because, in metro Atlanta, the signature flavor is lemon pepper.
The Lemon Wet Pepper Taco was unveiled as part of a digital pop-up last year and was promptly named ‘Dish of The Week’ by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Capital Tacos spin on the Atlanta classic features fried shrimp coated in garlic butter, topped with a signature creamy slaw, grilled onions and buffalo ranch, as well as its own lemon pepper seasoning mix.
There are currently 14 restaurants in four states, with more in the southeast and across the country on the horizon.
