brand concept + strengths BABALU tapas & tacos is an upscale yet casual, high energy, full-service restaurant destination.
Why tapas?
Tapas is designed to inspire conversation, encourage camaraderie, and promote good times. The bill of fare is chef-inspired, locally-sourced menu offerings served on small plates, perfect for sharing. The latin-inspired food is paired with handcrafted cocktails, sangria and craft beers. The interior is warm and simple - designed to highlight the young, vibrant energy of the restaurant. This energy is the cornerstone of our unique brand.
BABALU tapas & tacos is a fresh, timeless
concept that inspires fun for staff and guests alike.

It’s few times where everyone at the table got something different and raved about it. Fresh and killer delicious. I’m sure BABALU will become “the place” to eat in Knoxville
