If you ask anyone in Atlanta where they want to grab a delicious margarita and some authentic Mexican food, chances are… they’re going to say El Tesoro. This ATL staple debuted nearly seven and a half years ago on Edgewood. And since then, the taqueria has become a community favorite.
And now, after 14 months of meticulous planning, historic restoration, team training, and blood, sweat & tears, a third El Tesoro location is finally opening up in South Downtown Atlanta.
Co-owner Alan Raines said in a statement,
We love Atlanta, plain and simple. To watch this city grow, to be part of the incredible culture of sports, concerts, and downtown energy, and now to help breathe new life into a stunning piece of Atlanta’s history—it’s everything we’ve worked for. We are incredibly grateful to the South Downtown community for welcoming us with open arms through this intense 14-month journey.
Where is this new El Tesoro?
Located in a beautifully resuscitated 117-year-old historic building, this new El Tesoro is a vibrant part of Downtown Atlanta’s major revitalization project.
El Tesoro South Downtown is located at 171 Mitchell Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303!
