Restaurant ‘opening soon’ in former Matador Cantina space.

A new restaurant — Tierra Mexicana — is preparing to open in Glenwood Park.

The Mexican restaurant submitted a liquor license application with City of Atlanta last week for the sales of liquor, beer and wine. The application was approved this week (margarita, anyone?)

The restaurant will replace the now shuttered Matador Cantina, at 925 Garrett Street. It is unlikely that the space will undergo any renovations or remodeling as Tierra has yet to file any building permit applications. Typically, restaurants apply for liquor licenses as a last step before opening.

The restaurant’s official opening date has not been confirmed.

Developing…

Can this Mexican restaurant succeed where another one has recently failed? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
