Taqueria Tsunami, Stockyard Burgers Now Open In Sandy Springs

Taqueria Tsunami and its sister concept, Stockyard Burgers & Bones, held a ceremony on Tuesday, Nov 7 to celebrate its opening in a shared building space at 5825 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.

The restaurants will be located just north of I-285 in the former home of Double Zero Nepoletana, which relocated to Emory Village.

In the 9,986-square-foot building, guests will have the option to dine at either concept - Taqueria Tsunami or Stockyard Burgers & Bones. The restaurants will share a common host counter, parking lot, bathrooms and private dining space; but will offer two completely separate dining and patio spaces, bars and menus.

“Sandy Springs is a booming market right now, and we have received several guest requests to bring our restaurants to the area,” stated owner Alexis Kinsey. “We are excited to open this dual concept layout, which is new for us, but we feel that this site is the perfect size and location to bring the idea to fruition.”

Between the two concepts, the company hired 100 new employees encompassing management, kitchen staff, servers, hosts, expos and dishwashers.

Hours of operation are 11 a.m to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
