There’s a new spot in Atlanta for Taco Tuesdays. Butaco, the street taco concept from Chef Timmee Rufino, opened its doors on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 in East Atlanta.

The eatery serves LA-inspired street tacos and more. Not to be confused with Buteco, which is the company’s coffee bar in Grant Park, Butaco will focus on the fare that Rufino enjoyed cooking in SoCal kitchens, namely Los Angles and San Diego.
