As a passionate food lover, you can imagine my excitement when I walked into Taco Mac for the first time. Operating both as a bar and restaurant, they've got you covered from lunch to dinner and are open late into the night. So, whether you're craving for a late-night snack or looking to unwind with a couple of their fantastic beer and cocktail selections, you're in good hands.
Now here's a fun trivia about Taco Mac that you might not know. A group of friends from Buffalo, New York, were heading home from their Florida vacation when they decided to take a pit stop in Atlanta and fell in love with the city. The year was 1979 when they chose to bring their highly irresistable Buffalo Wings to the Atlanta sunny skies. And lo and behold, folks couldn't resist the flavor-packed juicy chicken wings, leading to a natural progression to include beer and sports in their offering. Big screen TVs flashing sports events were installed and a great selection of beers added, marking the start of the phenomenal journey of this iconic restaurant chain.
