Taco Mac

Taco Mac is an Atlanta, Georgia-based chain of sports bars.

The original location was opened by two Buffalo, New York natives as a wing spot in a former taco stand at 1006 North Highland Avenue Northeast in Atlanta's Virginia Highlands neighborhood in 1979. The former restaurant's name on the sign was left unchanged.

The chain's first Birmingham location opened in the 1990s in the former Five Points Theater building at 1914 11th Avenue South in Five Points South. That business closed around 2000, and the space was taken over by Surin West's expansion.

In 2018 CIC Partners of Dallas, Texas sold the chain to Fresh Hospitality. Harold Martin Jr is the CEO.

In 2022 the chain announced that it would return to the Birmingham area with a new location in The Shops at Canopy, within the Canopy at Oak Mountain development.
