The Moxie Restaurant Group opened its fourth Moxie Burger location last month in the Kennesaw area.
On Tuesday, the East Cobb-based company announced it has sold its Moxie Taco restaurant at Paper Mill Village.
In a Facebook message Tuesday morning, the Moxie Restaurant Group said that the new owners are those who operate Camps Kitchen and Bar next door.
The new name of the restaurant will be the Green Coyote Cantina, and it will have a similar menu.
“We’ve truly loved building Moxie Taco into a favorite neighborhood restaurant within the East Cobb community and are so thankful for everyone who supported Moxie Taco with their visits, parties, and catering,” the Moxie Restaurant Group message said. “We ultimately made the difficult decision to sell, so that we can focus our efforts on putting Moxie Burger locations into more local community neighborhoods.
“The decision was made easier by knowing it will be handed over to seasoned, successful owners, who are passionate about the concept,” the Moxie message said. “We know our loyal MT customers will be in the best of hands.”
Robert Caswick, a co-owner of Camps, told East Cobb News that his ownership team, the MooCoo Group, took over operations of Moxie Taco last week and has begun a gradual transition to the Green Coyote Cantina.
The restaurant is open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and Caswick said hours will expand “once we are staffed up.”
He said the menu (see below) will feature scratch Tex-Mex entrees and specialty margaritas. 
“We’re smoking meats in-house and have a margarita menu like no one else” he said. “We love East Cobb and are excited to serve the community we’ve met through Camp’s Kitchen & Bar.”
He said the interior of the Green Coyote will be updated gradually over the coming months during off-hours to make it resemble “a Far West Texas cantina.”
There also will be an expansion of the back patio overlooking the Paper Mill pond.
Moxie Taco opened in 2017 as La Novia Taqueria, then changed the name to reflect the Moxie brand.
Moxie Burger was started by Pope High School graduate Chas D’Huyvetter, who opened his first gourmet hamburger restaurant at Paper Mill Village in 2011.
The newest Moxie Burger is located at 1600 Kennesaw Due West Road, joining other locations on Shallowford Road near Lassiter High School and in Roswell.
The Moxie Restaurant Group message Tuesday said that there are “more to follow soon.”
