Atlanta-based Taqueria del Sol coming to Philly
Taqueria del Sol, an 11-year-old fast-casual Mexican/Southwest concept with a handful of locations in Georgia, has officially earmarked Philadelphia for its up-the-East-Coast expansion. The company has announced its intent to open a total of 12 Philly-area taquerias — founder Mike Klank and corporate chef Eddie Hernandez were semifinalists in the "Best Restaurateur" category of the 2011 James Beard Awards — between now and 2016. Their menu looks like it's a little more ambitious than same-market competitiors like Chipotle or Qdoba, featuring six different taco options, enchiladas, a bunch of soups, chilis and sides and daily specials unique to each franchise. No official word on where or when the first Philly del Sol location might be but we'll keep you posted.
UPDATE: A rep tells Meal Ticket that the restaurant is currently negotiating leases in Center City and Springfield; they hope to launch in the first quarter of 2012.
