"A self-styled gourmet taqueria and live-music venue is relocating from a six-year run on Roswell Road in Buckhead to a much larger space at 928 Canton Street in Roswell (the Buckhead location is now closed). The move was driven by space needs: the new site is nearly three times the size and will get a roughly $1.5 million overhaul with state-of-the-art kitchen equipment, a 30-seat private dining room, upgraded audio/video systems with online capabilities, a large projector screen and 28 TVs, and restored original garage doors. Ownership will include the current proprietor and a new partner with local gastropub roots; the proprietor also has a personal connection to the building, having worked there in the 1980s when it housed his father’s restaurant. The menu is being refreshed with more entrée and taco options, healthier salads and new cocktails, and the venue plans robust live programming—beginning next spring with a ten-week battle-of-the-bands series featuring 10–15 acts nightly. Opening timeline was updated to November 2019; website: rockntacoatl.com." - Beth McKibben
