New Mexican Restaurant Plans Summer Debut in Sandy Springs

New Mexican restaurant planned for Sandy Springs. 

CT Cocina & Taqueria plans to open later this spring in Sandy Springs.  The new fast casual restaurant will open in place of Dickey's Barbecue Pit which closed last month. 

According to the restaurant's website, CT will offer "Mexican tacos and Latin dishes with a touch of International flavors. Featuring a bar with Margaritas, Mezcal, Tequilas, Cocktails and Craft Beers."

CT is being opened by Rafael Jaime of Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant.  Las Palmas has a number of locations around Georgia.  

Jaime tells me he hopes to have CT open by the first week in June, although he plans to debut the restaurant's food at the inaugural Atlanta Taco Festival, May 1st in Candler Park.

The restaurant's menu is still in the planning stages, but Jaime hopes to have it completed in a month or so. 

Are you excited for CT Cocina to open in Sandy Springs?  Do you miss Dickey's?  What is your favorite local taqueria?
