Atlanta restaurant Rreal Tacos plans to expand across metro Atlanta in the coming months. The eatery has some aggressive expansion plans that it will put into action over the next several months.
Rreal Tacos To Expand Across Metro Atlanta
In addition to Rreal Tacos’ locations at Midtown at 100 6th St. NE and West Midtown at 1000 Northside Dr. NW, the eatery recently announced that it will open in the following metro Atlanta locations:
- Chamblee
- Sandy Springs
- Buckhead
- Decatur
- Gwinnett County
“In Atlanta if you want real, authentic Mexico City tacos, you go to Buford Highway, but it’s not a date night kind of place,” Damian Otero, who co-owns Real Tacos with Miguel Hernandez, says in a news release. “Conversely, if you want something upscale with great drinks, it’s a mammoth restaurant with ‘Americanized’ food. We have created a niche intersecting the two.”
The owners have leaned into making authentic Mexican street food with Rreal Tacos, sourcing their taco ingredients from various regions of Mexico using fresh — never frozen — meat marinated for over 12 hours for dishes such as asada from northeastern Monterrey, birria barbacoa from Guadalajara, or taco al pastor, one of Mexico City’s signature tacos.
Where Is Rreal Tacos Located In Atlanta?
Rreal Tacos currently has two locations — 100 6th St NE #110, Atlanta, GA 30308 and 1000 Northside Dr NW STE 600, Atlanta, GA 30318.
It’s third location will be opening in the coming months in Chamblee at 5070 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30341. Here’s a map to help you find it.

Man in Full, a Netflix series, is casting actors and extras over the next week to film scenes in Atlanta.
Filming for A Man In Full began the first week of August 2022 and is scheduled to run into mid-December. Keep reading to learn more about the project, including casting call information.
What Is The Plot Of A Man In Full?
What we know about the plot for A Man in Full can be gleaned from the 1998 Tom Wolfe bestselling novel, which the series has been adapted from.
Here’s a summary of the novel:
The setting is Atlanta, Georgia-a racially mixed, late-century boomtown full of fresh wealth and wily politicians. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta conglomerate king whose outsize ego has at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 29,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife-and a half-empty office complex with a staggering load of debt.
Meanwhile, Conrad Hensley, idealistic young father of two, is laid off from his job at the Croker Global Foods warehouse near Oakland and finds himself spiraling into the lower depths of the American legal system. And back in Atlanta, when star Georgia Tech running back Fareek “the Cannon” Fanon, a homegrown product of the city’s slums, is accused of date-raping the daughter of a pillar of the white establishment, upscale black lawyer Roger White II is asked to represent Fanon and help keep the city’s delicate racial balance from blowing sky-high.

Chick-fil-A is currently testing bone-in chicken wings in metro Atlanta in a trial that began Oct. 31. Aside from having a secret menu, the popular Atlanta-based chain is cooking up a contender in Atlanta’s chicken wing wars.
The restaurant has reportedly been interesting in serving chicken wings on a trial basis for some time now. With the new chicken wing trial, which runs until Feb. 11, Chick-fil-A hopes to have indisputable proof on whether they need to get into the business.Where To Find Chick-fil-A Wings In Atlanta
Finding the items won’t be as easy as you’d think. Traditional Chick-fil-A locations won’t have the chicken wings on their menus. You’ll have to visit the company’s new brand Outfox Wings, which comes out of the Little Blue Menu, a “ghost kitchen” concept we reported on last year.
Little Blue Menu is a separate brand from the traditional Chick-fil-A offerings we know and love. The two outfits have totally different menus.
What Chick-Fil-A Location Has Chicken Wings?
Truett’s Chick-fil-A located at 3649 Hwy 138 SE, Stockbridge, GA 30281 is the only location selling the chicken wings, Chick-fil-A said. Here is a map to help you find it.
