A green, white and red banner outside of 26 Business Loop 70 E. bearing the words “COMO ESTA TAQUERIA MEXICAN GRILL” is the only indication from the street that people can purchase tacos and other popular Mexican foods inside Loop Liquor & Convenience Store.
Como Esta Taqueria has been open for two months and has seen a lot of business, said Daniel Abraham, owner of both the restaurant and liquor store. Local foodies may recognize its location as the former address of Taqueria Don Pancho, a popular taco joint that closed at the end of May and is set to open soon in its new location on Peachtree Drive .
