Now, 126 brick-and-mortar locations later, Torchy’s has entered the Atlanta market with a location in the Star Metals building on the Westside. The first Torchy’s in Georgia, it offers the same “Damn Good” tacos and queso that earned the brand its following in a classy, 4,100-square-foot space with a full bar and patio.

Fares Kargar describes Eden as dark and moody with different vibes and offerings in each area. It’s inspired by pre-revolution Iran with European influences.

Some will include Iranian-style ingredients, such as cardamom and pistachios. Expect Old World and Mediterranean wines.
