A space that was formerly home to a location of burger chain Zinburger is set to get new life as a Red Pepper Taqueria.

The Atlanta Mexican restaurant has plans to expand with a location at 4555 Ashford Dunwoody Road. Driss Senhaji with Atlanta Business Brokers represented the buyers. Zinburger closed its two metro Atlanta locations last year due to the pandemic.

The eatery will be the fourth for Red Pepper, which opened its first location in 2011 in North Druid Hills and also has locations in Brookhaven and Buckhead.

Red Pepper’s menu includes a variety of Mexican staples including tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas, as well as a full bar highlighting margaritas.

Co-owner Justin Karam -- who also co-owns Kabob Land in Buckhead -- did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

Former Red Pepper Taqueria co-owner Mimmo Alboumeh recently opened his own Mexican restaurant, Botcia, on Peachtree Road.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
