Guac y Margys Announces Closure
Guac y Margys is a well-known dining spot that started on the Atlanta BeltLine. The restaurant became known for its tacos, guacamole, and margaritas. The spot has a strong focus on margaritas, including house specialties made with infused tequila.
The restaurant has announced that it will be closing both its locations this weekend. The owners cited rising costs and increasing competition in Atlanta’s restaurant market as reasons for the closure. The owners also encouraged other businesses to consider hiring affected employees as operations wind down.
The closure will mark the end of a concept that began on the Atlanta BeltLine in 2018. It also highlights a broader trend of restaurant closures tied to high operating costs, rent pressures, and the challenging environment.
Guac y Margys is popular for its lively atmosphere, patio seating, and margaritas. Customers frequently mention its beef barbacoa tacos, chips and queso, and specialty margaritas.
