A new Latin fusion restaurant, Q'Paso Latin Grub, opened May 9 at 5815 Windward Parkway, Ste. 202, Alpharetta, after a delay in its grand opening due to COVID-19. The Windward Parkway location is the first brick-and-mortar location of Q'Paso Latin Grub, which initially began as a food truck in Colorado, owners Kazeka Muniz and Amanda Bolton said in an email. They also launched their food truck in early June as an extension of the restaurant. Q'Paso Latin Grub offers various dishes made from scratch from Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Cuba and other Latin American countries. 770-733-1758. www.qpasolatingrub.com
