Taco's & Tequila's

Tacos & Tequilas, a well‑loved Georgia restaurant brand known for its lively atmosphere and handcrafted culinary style, recently expanded with a new location in Lawrenceville, GA. For this project, the design team sought a material palette that would create an inviting dining environment while also offering construction efficiency and architectural warmth. Engineered wood products were selected as key structural and aesthetic elements, contributing both to the building’s character and the project’s streamlined delivery.

Inside the restaurant, the use of exposed wood elements adds texture, visual interest, and a sense of authenticity that aligns with the brand’s energetic and community‑focused identity. The material choice also supports functional needs, offering strength and design flexibility in a busy hospitality setting.

This project was featured by ByDesign, an organization that highlights creativity, diversity, and innovative thinking within the design world. Their short video profile showcases how the project team used thoughtful detailing and modern material strategies—including engineered wood—to enhance the dining experience and celebrate the craft behind the space.

The Lawrenceville Tacos & Tequilas location reflects the growing trend of restaurants incorporating engineered wood products to achieve a warm, expressive environment while maintaining durability and performance. It stands as a collaborative example of how design, construction, and material choices come together to elevate everyday spaces.
