A new Mexican restaurant is planning to make its metro Atlanta debut. Papa's & Beer, which currently has eight locations across North and South Carolina, will in early 2022 open a new location in Roswell. (Beard Papa's is a similar sounding name but completely different eatery serving Japanese style puff pastries with Atlanta area locations in Peachtree Corners and Sandy Springs.)
The Papa's & Beer menu features more than two dozen different burritos as well as plenty of taco, enchilada and fajita options. Interestingly, while nearly everything on the Papa's & Beer lunch and dinner menu has a price noted, the restaurant's table-side guacamole is labeled as "market price."
Planning documents indicate that Jannira Martinez is opening the new Roswell outpost and that she is also the owner of the other restaurants in the Carolinas. The family-owned restaurant was started by Jannira's father, Javier Gomez, in 2006.
A notice on the restaurant's door indicates that Martinez has submitted her application for beer, wine, liquor and Sunday sales to the City of Roswell and that it will be heard Thursday December 2. According to a well-placed source, Martinez hopes to open "as soon as possible," potentially even trying to "soft open" before the end of the year, if all goes well.
