Taco Mac, the popular Atlanta sports bar chain serving wings, burgers, beer, and tacos, has been bought by an independent Atlanta investor group.
Fresh Hospitality, lead by its CEO, local Atlantan and longtime T-Mac diner, Harold Martin, Jr., just finished inking the deal with the now former owners, Dallas-based CIC Partners. Fresh Hospitality, which also includes Michael Bodnar, John Michael Bodnar, and Mike Tidwell, are investing their own personal money into the business.
The group is not planning on making any big changes to the restaurants or the menu at the moment. Martin and crew will spend the next few months touring various locations and gathering customer and employee feedback in order to improve Taco Mac’s dining experiences. There are no plans to eliminate the restaurant’s beer program Brewniversity or to cancel the current calendar of events or promotions.

Martin is graduate of Morehouse College and has lived in Atlanta since 1998. He dines frequently at Taco Mac with his family and is hoping to return the brand to its original roots.
“Our commitment is to be true to Taco Mac’s roots by serving families the best wings and craft beer in the city in a sports-focused casual dining environment,” Martin said Friday afternoon.
The first Taco Mac opened at 1006 North Highland Avenue NE in 1979 where it still remains today.
