Tacos and Tapas coming to Midtown

Named after Ricky Ricardo's signature song on "I Love Lucy," Babalu Tapas and Tacos is bringing Latin-inspired dishes to Midtown.

Babalu Tapas and Tacos will open up its first Atlanta location at 33 Peachtree Place. The Mississippi-based chain will unlock doors this summer next to the new Dancing Goats Coffee Bar .

The menu will feature made-from-scratch Latin-inspired small plates, tacos and cocktails with southern flair using locally sourced ingredients.

The 5,200 square-foot space will also include an outdoor bar and outdoor patio.
