Tato’s, a potato-centric dining concept that opened last year at Commas Food Hall in Ellsworth Place (8661 Colesville Rd.) in downtown Silver Spring, is expanding to Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda.
According to Tato’s, the menu focuses on the versatility of potatoes, offering fries, wedges, and loaded potatoes with a wide range of customizable toppings. Protein options include bacon, pepperoni, pulled pork, steak, and chicken, while vegetable choices range from mushrooms and arugula to olives, citrus, and hummus. Guests can also select from several cheeses, including vegan mozzarella, mozzarella, manchego, and cheese sauce, along with sauces such as ranch, marinara, buffalo guac dressing, green sauce, sour cream, and BBQ.
In describing the concept, Tato’s says it aims to create a shared, interactive dining experience centered on transforming potatoes into customizable meals. The concept emphasizes community, creativity, and the idea of gathering around food, with the goal of turning a familiar ingredient into a personalized and social dining experience.
The store will be located in the space previously occupied by 7-Eleven, and most recently, Chocolate Moonshine, according to Store Reporter.
