Takko opening in Tallahassee

The new restaurant opens Aug. 11 in the Magnolia Grove Shopping Center, the first of two sites in Tallahassee, and will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.. The restaurant is based on a concept created by Chef Tomas Lee, who pairs Korean ingredients with Mexican staples like burritos and tacos. Tomas and business partner Mark Haidet own one taqueria in Atlanta and one in Dunwoody, Georgia. In Tallahassee, they are joining forces with Eric Jenrich, chief executive officer of Island Wing Company Grill & Bar Tallahassee and founder of Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Look for dishes that include Gogi nachos pairing Korean pork, Seoul sauce and tortilla chips. Loaded bulgogi fries topped with barbecue beef and roasted kimchi.
