Holy Taco! Raises the Bar in East Atlanta

With authentic Latin American cuisine made from only fresh, natural ingredients and a Glenwood Avenue home characterized by a stylish modern décor, Holy Taco brings a new scene to East Atlanta Village. The full-service restaurant welcomes diners with upbeat music, delicious fare and enticing drinks. Even better, it provides a family-friendly environment that is a cut above what East Atlanta Village regulars might expect.

Holy Taco originated with Partner Robert MacDonald's research travels to places like California and New York and the realization that Atlanta did not have enough taquerias. "The food is simple and fun, and everybody loves tacos," says MacDonald. As our special introduction:

While the eatery is conveniently located in East Atlanta Village, it has a character all its own. From the expansive patio covered by a shade-imparting arbor to the clean, light-filled interior enclosed with mint-green walls and orange banquettes, the atmosphere at Holy Taco is inviting to all ages.

		Chef Robert Phalen created the Holy Taco menu using only hormone and antibiotic-free meats, the freshest vegetables and all-natural ingredients. Phalen, who had traveled throughout South America, has incorporated traditional items from places like Peru and Columbia into the heavily Mexican-influenced menu. Making dishes like shrimp cocktail, arepas (cornmeal cakes), tortas (Mexican sandwiches served on ciabatta), elote asado (whole roasted corn) and of course tacos.

Boasting a 20-ft. stainless steel bar, Holy Taco offers more than 30 high-end tequilas and a unique sangria with plums, oranges and peaches. In keeping with the all-natural theme, the bar also serves organic margaritas. For the younger set, organic apple juice and milk are found on the drink menu.

Together, MacDonald and Partner Zoë Cernut have more than 30 years experience in the Atlanta restaurant and bar industry. Chef Phalen came to Holy Taco via heavy-hitters in the local chef restaurant arena including Mumbo Jumbo, Midcity Cuisine and Alon's.
