ATWATER STREET TACO IS THIS WEEKS RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK

March 30, 2021 By Joe Pagano

Atwater Street Taco – Flat Rock, Michigan

Our Restaurant of the Week this week is Atwater Street Tacos, one of the newest additions to Flat Rock that has quickly become a local favorite.

Atwater Street Tacos has been in business for a little over two years, having nothing but a positive impact on the city of Flat Rock. Monica and Gerardo, or “G,” started their street taco restaurant in an old driving school building along the Huron River in Flat Rock just outside HuRoc Park. After only a year in business, they made a decision to expand their business to include a Kayak and a bike rental business.

Then less than a year later, COVID-19 changed all of our lives in an instant and they had to completely reinvent their small taco business. “We are continuing to make changes in our business to keep our staff and customers safe” Monica shared, “We are very appreciative of all our customers and thankful of their continuing support.” Monica and G have always strived to support the Flat Rock community, such as sponsoring events like Riverfest, the Car Show, our city drive-in this past year, and much more. Today, Monica and G are adding another adventure to their positive trail and starting a new restaurant – soon to be called “Station 24” along the Telegraph corridor in Flat Rock. We thank Monica and G for everything they have done for Flat Rock and surrounding area. We hope you will stop by Atwater Street Tacos for your next “Taco Tuesday!”

Featured Restaurants – Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection

March 22, 2021 By Joe Pagano

Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection – Flat Rock, Mi.

Flat Rock is known for its wonderful collection of restaurants at Fiorelli’s, standing as a favorite of our community for 40 years. All of us have been going to Fiorelli’s for longer than we can remember – and the team at gives back the same love and appreciation to our community. Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has donated and supported our Flat Rock Schools, various local charities, our annual events, our frontline hospital workers, as well as the Flat Rock fire and police departments. Much of this support has been prioritized by Fiorelli’s since the pandemic began.

As COVID-19 has impacted all of us, Fiorelli’s has seen a dramatic change in their normal business operations. Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has always been a sit-down restaurant for many, with only 10% of their sales coming from carryout. As a result, the restaurants are now down in regular business by 90%. Despite these challenges, Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has been fiercely committed to keeping on all of their full-time staff. To help Fiorelli’s continue to be the community staple that it has become, we hope you will continue to patronize their restaurants and buy gift certificates for family and friends!
