Tin Lizzy’s Cantina Comes to Kennesaw
Tin Lizzy’s Cantina Comes to Kennesaw
By Chloe Braun
The new location will be at 3470
George Busbee Parkway. It is expected that it will get many customers from
Kennesaw State University since it is close to campus.
“We picked Kennesaw because it’s
awesome. It’s the best location we could have possibly picked,” said Aaron
Hobbs, general manager. “There is so much exposure, and we have done very
little advertising and everyone is already really excited for us to open.”

What Will This Bring to Kennesaw
Tin Lizzy’s Cantina is not your
typical restaurant, and is reasonably priced. It is designed to provide a
hangout spot for friends and family.
“Tin Lizzy’s will bring a little bit of
diversity, somewhere for everyone to go and relax and enjoy time with their
friends and family,” said Hobbs.
“A
laid back, fun environment that features great service, affordable food and
drinks, live music from local artists, a gathering spot for students, families,
professionals and sports fans,” said Heather Stennis, marketing director.
What’s on the Menu?
Tin Lizzy’s Cantina is known for
its diversity in its food items. They have 25 options of gourmet tacos,
shareable dips, salads, skillets, seven house margaritas, five specialty
margaritas and a variety of beers.
FlexMex is a common term used when
explaining Tin Lizzy’s Cantina. FlexMex is similar to the meaning of Tex-Mex,
but provides a variety of cultures’ influence upon the menu items.
“We have a proprietary blend of
sour mix we use in our margaritas that nobody else has,” said Brent McGhee,
area director.
It has five types of tacos that
include veggie, chicken, steak and fish and shrimp tacos. The Lowcountry taco
was a 2013 best taco winner. The Lowcountry taco consist of grilled shrimp,
topped with chorizo, grilled onions, corn, tater tots, drizzled with spicy
ranch and red peppers. Tin Lizzy’s will select the 2014 winner later this year.
“My favorite is the Southern
Comfort Taco. It’s amazing. It has fried pickles on it,” said Hobbs.
How Did It Get
Started
They had a vision of a place
where friends could come to have fun, watch sports, listen to live music, be
surrounded by a fun environment and relax. There are a total of seven
restaurants now, and all four guys still own each location.
Tin Lizzy’s Future
First-Hand Experience at Tin Lizzy’s
ATLANTA -- Tin Lizzy’s Cantina in
Buckhead has great customer service and an interesting environment. The moment
you enter the restaurant you feel the lively environment of the customers and
the staff.
I ordered the Southern Comfort Taco
on my first visit to Tin Lizzy’s Cantina. I chose this taco because the
waitress said it was awarded the best taco in 2012, and was one of her personal
favorites. The Southern Comfort taco includes grilled chicken, goat cheese,
grilled onions, fried pickles and barbecue sauce.
It was recommended to try one of
the margaritas as well. Tin Lizzy’s has a reputation of having delicious
specialty margaritas. I ordered the Pomegranate Cilantro margarita that
consists of Don Julio Silver, pomegranate liqueur, sour mix, fresh cilantro and
a lime wedge.
The service was fast, and I noticed
a night crowd that picks up around 6:30 p.m. There was a 15 minute wait when I came
at 6:30 p.m.
The restaurant has live music
Thursday through Saturday. The live band sets the lively atmosphere throughout
the restaurant, and is a nice touch to the urban surroundings of Buckhead.
However, if you are not a fan of a loud environment, I would recommend going to
dinner Sunday through Wednesday.
The Tin Lizzy’s Cantina in
Buckhead, was the first one built, and it is well managed. The staff handles a
busy restaurant with calmness, and as a customer you see their enjoyment of a
full restaurant.
