Will this Asian-Latin taqueria take Buckhead by storm or will their name leave ’em dead in the water?
Tsunami Taqueria will replace the now shuttered Toulouse restaurant in Buckhead, according to a permit filed with the city of Atlanta Monday.
On a trip to the location Tuesday, What Now Atlanta discovered construction is well underway. Architectural plans and a foam board with color pallets and logo for the taqueria, were displayed on a table inside.
We asked Marietta resident Pearl Cid, who was walking past the location on her way to Imperial Fez Tuesday, what she thought about the taqueria’s name.
“The name will stick but it might be offensive,” Cid said. “Especially with everything that is going on in the world right now.”
Buckhead resident Jack, who had just finished dining at Tantra nearby, told What Now Atlanta Tuesday he’s never been to Toulouse and doesn’t think he’ll dine at Tsunami either.
“With a name like that, it doesn’t sound like it will be any good,” Jack said.
