The Buckhead location of Rreal Tacos will open Wednesday, May 1, in the former Farm Burger space on Piedmont Road. It will become the seventh location of the taco restaurant owned by Damian Otero and Miguel Hernandez.
Rreal Tacos serves a variety of street tacos, along with tacos filled with birria, grilled fish, and pork belly. The menu also features costra tacos (protein wrapped in fried cheese), taco platters, tortas, birria pizza, and burritos. Expect margaritas from the bar and DJs on the weekends in the Buckhead location at 3365 Piedmont Road.
Named for founding Chef Adrian Villarreal, Rreal Tacos first opened nearly a decade ago at the corner of 6th and Juniper streets in Midtown. The menu offered tacos and dishes based on those found in Villarreal’s hometown of Monterrey, Mexico. Villarreal sold the restaurant to Otero and Hernandez in 2022, who began a rapid expansion of Rreal Tacos. The restaurant chain now includes additional locations in Atlanta’s Home Park neighborhood, Sandy Springs, Chamblee, Cumming, and Sugar Hill.
Farm Burger closed last fall in Buckhead after 12 years at Tower Place, followed by the Grant Park location in January. The Grant Park Farm Burger lasted only six years on Memorial Drive. Owner George Frangos said at the time of the closure that he and business partner Jason Mann planned to focus on the remaining locations in Midtown, Virginia-Highland, and Decatur and expanding to other cities across the Southeast.
