A Tex-Mex-Cajun restaurant called Dos Bocas takes over the Legal Seafood space this summer in downtown Atlanta. The restaurant, owned by Legacy Ventures (STATS Brewpub, Twin Smokers BBQ, Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria, Glenn’s Kitchen, SkyLounge, Game-X), plans to serve dishes inspired by the owners’ travels throughout Louisiana and Texas.
The menu at Dos Bocas, or “two mouths”, includes dishes like campechana comprising of Gulf shrimp and crab mixed with tomatoes and avocados with Cajun crawfish bread, smoked pork posole, po’boys, a muffuletta, shrimp etouffee, and barbecue shrimp slathered in New Orleans-style in Worcestershire sauce, butter, lemon, and Creole seasoning.
“While running restaurants in Houston and New Orleans earlier in my career, I developed a love for the cuisine across the two states,” Brian Bullock, COO of restaurants for Legacy says. “A few years ago, when our team at Legacy Ventures opened a restaurant on Mustang Island in South Texas, my passion for Cajun and Tex-Mex cuisine was reignited. Finally, the right opportunity came around to create a restaurant serving the food we love here in Atlanta.”
The two-story restaurant, designed by local Atlanta firm ASD|SKY, isn’t lacking in open spaces — 8,000-square-feet, to be exact. This includes a large bar and an outdoor patio overlooking the new greenspace at Centennial Park across the street.
275 Baker Street, Atlanta.
