Burrito joint calls it quits after less than a year in business.
Chattanooga-based Mojo Burrito has closed its lone out-of -state location in Dunwoody. The fast casual burrito joint opened in Dunwoody Village on February 19th of this year ,
and closed yesterday, November 3rd. Amazingly, the restaurant's owners signed their lease for the space the week of December 13, 2012. For the roughly 2300 square foot restaurant to have been "in the works" for over a year, but to have remained open for less than nine months is pretty sad.

Ahead of the opening, I heard only good things about the Chattanooga-based chain from both out of state and local friends and readers. Many readers expressed their excitement for the restaurant and enthusiasm for their prospects. Unfortunately, shortly after opening, this blog was inundated with gripes many of which singled out the "rude owner."
The restaurant's Yelp reviews were not much better, with many complaints about the owner and the food.
"What a disappointment after waiting close to a year for the place to open." ... "I will be shocked if this place makes it to January."
"The owner at this location seemed stressed and anxious to upsell me additional items which definitely was a turn off and made me feel like I was at a CPK or Applebee's."
"Move along folks. Nuthin to see here. Almost as good as moes across the street and that's not saying much."
