Red Pepper Taqueria opened its third location in Town Brookhaven in March, following the closing of Chef Mimmo Alboumeh’s Maya Steaks & Seafood just six months earlier.
The local chain experienced an immediate boom, appealing to young professionals and families alike. Alboumeh gave some credit to the Brookhaven area and it’s growth for the success, but at the core of the excitement was certainly his fresh and fiery food.
One key to Red Pepper’s success has been the handmade approach Alboumeh takes to every aspect, from his exciting brunch menus and mimosas to his margaritas and Mexican delights.
Alboumeh, originally from Lebanon, moved to Spain at a young age with his father who was attending medical school. The combination of Mediterranean, Mexican and European defines his style in the kitchen.
While not Jewish, Alboumeh is a partner of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival and a supporter of Second Helpings Atlanta, which began at Temple Sinai. He also served as one of the community chef judges at Hadassah’s “Almost Chopped” competition.
