Korean-Mexican fusion taqueria to replace Abrigo Midtown
Hankook Taqueria is opening a second in-town location.
The Korean-Mexican fused taqueria will open in Midtown by mid-August, according to a Facebook post Wednesday.
“…We finally have a new restaurant opening in addition to our original location,” the post said. “It will be [located] between 5th and 6th streets on Juniper! Hopefully mid-August!”
Tomas Lee, owner of the Taqueria, neglected to return several calls made to the restaurant over the past few weeks to confirm the exact location Hankook will occupy.
So What Now Atlanta took to the streets and uncovered a lease was secured Wednesday morning for the now-shuttered Abrigo Midtown.
The original Hankook on Collier Road on the Westside ran into a little bit of trouble when it failed a health inspection in May.
Lee, a Buckhead Life alumnus, also owns Yumbii Food Truck in partnership with Carson Young which serves similar fare found at Hankook.
In other news, Little Five Points is expected to get OMG Taco, another Korean-Mexican fused taqueria concept.
