Teela Taqueria

Artemis "Arte" Antoniades and Nikitas "Nik" Panagopoulos, the brother and sister team who first brought fresh, delicious seafood to Atlanta through the critically acclaimed Fishmonger Restaurant have returned to deliver exquisite Mexican cuisine with a global twist to Teela Taqueria. Located in the swanky City Walk Shopping Center, Teela Taqueria is Arte and Nik's answer to Sandy Springs residents looking for an inexpensive, trendy, fun-filled restaurant to get their Mexican-faire fix.

The name Teela comes from the Native American word for strength, and such is the inspiration behind the menu and the restaurant. Arte and Nik have created a menu with strong, bold tastes such as the Southern BLT Tacos with fried green tomatoes and the Crab and Shrimp taco, while offering traditional samplers like roasted chicken enchiladas and fajita steak nachos. The greatest strength of Teela Taqueria comes in choice - the ability to design a lunch or dinner plate complimentary to one's personal palate. Tacos may be served on traditional soft flour tortillas or corn tortillas upon request. Entire meals may be created by mixing and matching from the specialty tacos, traditional favorites, enchiladas, nachos, quesadillas, soups and salads. And with prices not exceeding $6.50 for the most expensive item (Teela's Mucho Mixed Green Salad), wallets remain strong as stomachs becomes fully sated.

Teela Taqueria evokes a vibrant atmosphere, inviting both families and friends to enjoy Atlanta?s best interpretation of Mexican food matched with Southern and international highlights. Dine inside and enjoy the festive, fun colors of the pillow lined benches, murals and art. Or choose the spacious outside patio for listening to music from the Sandy Springs Amphitheater while sipping on one of many exotic blends of margaritas from the bars varied list.
