Tallahassee loves tacos. Add another taco joint to the soft- and hard-shell roster with the August opening of Tin Lizzy's Cantina on West Madison Street in CollegeTown.
The unique back story behind Tin Lizzy's centers around its founders: Chris Hadermann, John Piemonte and Mike Evertsen. They met as students while attending Florida State University and later decided to open their first taco restaurant in Atlanta's Buckhead area.
After growing locations in in Columbia and Greenville, South Carolina and five locations in Atlanta, the guys are coming home.
"It’s sort of come full circle. Tin Lizzy’s originated in the former Po’ Boys Atlanta location, a great concept that started in Tallahassee," said Hadermann, in an email to the Tallahassee Democrat. "When you consider that so much of our “education” in Tallahassee took place working in various restaurants, it seems to be appropriate that we’re finally coming back to FSU to open a concept that we know students and faculty will love."
Tin Lizzy's is known for its margaritas and "FlexMex" cuisine.
Menu items include an assortment of dips and specialty tacos like Korean BBQ, bacon cheeseburger and low country boil. Skillet items range from the "Southern Comfort" with grilled chicken, onions, goat cheese and fried pickles and the "Cowboy" with fried chicken, bacon, black beans, Tin Lizzy's signature hot sauce, blue cheese crumbles and jalapenos.
I assume this is going where 101 cantina was.
ReplyDeleteBut what about tenants in phase 2? Aside from township there's been nothing reported.
not sure about 101, but I assume the same. I have seen a college clothing (ie FSU gear) store going in. I swear there was something reported there about that in a past BOT meeting. If I have time, I'll look.
