Willy's Mexicana Grill & Howlin' Willy's Hot Chicken
Willy’s was founded in 1995 as a result of Willy Bitter’s passion for exceptional Mexican food. While living in San Francisco, he learned about the California-style burritos that ruled the taquerias in the city’s Mission District. Willy then moved east, bringing with him the knowledge and taste he acquired on authentic Mexican dishes and... Willy’s Mexicana Grill in Atlanta was born. Willy’s success is built on a concept of simplicity, freshness, and most of all, a quality that is second to none. Today, Willy’s has locations throughout metro Atlanta, Athens, Peachtree City, Columbus, and Cartersville. The Mexicana grill’s sister company, Howlin’ Willys, joined the scene in 2021. Inspired once again to share delicious flavors, Willy introduced his recipe for hot chicken to Atlanta after having experienced the wonders of Nashville hot chicken during his travels to the music city. Locations in Piedmont Park, Hapeville, and Druid Hills join existing Willy’s locations to bring the heat.
