I love the unique tequila selections and margaritas , but it’s the memorable and unique interpretations of classic Mexican fare that has you wondering how long has downtown had food this tasty? Read more

Drew M

Share the tacos . In order we liked the carnitas , steak , chicken , and then the avacado . The street corn is a good side as well though it'll be a lot to eat!

Creative Loafing Atlanta

There are four entrée-sized dishes, but only one of us indulged — a flat iron steak with adobo sauce and sides of goat-cheese potato gratin , spiced with poblano chiles, and avocado-arugula salad . Read more

A smart, sleek modern Mexican restaurant tucked into the lobby of a downtown office tower. Great margaritas and ceviches as well as more involved entrees. The kitchen also makes a mean tamale . Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

But I recommend the Amatitan , made with reposado tequila and channeling the woodier, funkier qualities of the spirit rather than trying to cover it up with loads of saccharine. Read more

Need a perfect and perfectly delicious lunch ? Try the fried avocado taquitos ! Great portion - 2 taquitos with rice + beans. Amazing flavor - you won't be disappointed!

Blue Beauty

One of the best to ever do it...delicious Amatitán margarita...goes down smoothly...plus a beautifully mastered Pork Belly Tostada ...I had mine with the Mexican Chopped Salad ...a must visit!!!

Yanira Rios

This place has impressive food, no way to go wrong with any option. There is also a guacamole tasting flight.

Jordan McKinney

What's good here? EVERYTHING. The food, the drinks the impeccable service . If you are craving Latin food, GO!

April Thompson

Mahi tacos and naranjo-Rita were excellent. But was very unpressed by the service I received and witnessed other customers getting as well ...

Creative Loafing Atlanta

While Alma does suffer from some of the pitfalls of "modern Mexican ," it also gets a lot right, taking traditional dishes and refining them just enough to allow you to taste them afresh. Read more

Mads-Emil Larsen

Best margarita I’ve ever had. The food really good too. Great dining place in downtown.

Francisca San

Good food!!! Waited for 1 1/2 hours, didnt know we need to rsvp. We didn't disappoint! Grouper is good, pork tenderloin is good, mango salad good, crispy cod n pork belly good : )

Susan Zoch

It was easy to sit at the bar and get full service. I had the chicken Mole and it was really good.

Alissa Krasner Maizes

Awesome food .... Michael & Jose are great servers so ask for them!!! If you prefer grilled fish on the tacos just ask and the chef will accommodate. Yummy!!! Great for vegetarians too.

AJC

The Corvina Sea Bass - lime , pico de gallo , avocado mousse at Alma Cocina is a must get dish Read more

Robert M

The tomato salad has nothing to do with Mexico but everything to do with seasonal and local wonderfulness. I eat it all throughout the summer.

Steve Worthington

Order the guac it's excellent. The blood orange margarita is out of this world! Make sure to save room for some churros !!

Jessica Toliuszis

The corn guacamole is a spicy slice of heaven pie . You could (quite literally) rub it all over your body. Order it. Make a reservation .

Ellen S. P.

The appetizers are great: pear guacamole , octopus , and pork tamales made a great dinner !

Creative Loafing Atlanta

It's woody, warmly lit, and divided into three dining areas that soften the noise, permitting scream-free conversation. Read more

I wasn’t thrilled when I saw the price of the entrees. Much more than I like to pay. I ended up with happy hour priced pork rinds , and 3 street tacos .

Earl Belcher Jr

Excellent food. Scallop Crudo . Pork belly tacos . House hot sauces . Decent margaritas .

Emilia Doerr

Five at four happy hour . Skip the $5 margarita , go straight for the $5 whiskey manhattan .

Christina J

Just added to the menu: Wagyu brisket enchiladas . Perfect combo of tender meat, smoky sauce and crisp jicama salad . Fantastic.

Nicole Jones

Get the corn . Oh. My. Goodness. A little spicy . Enough to share with the table.

Spe YogaMatt Spewak

The white bean puree is all vegetarian and is wonderful. Get this over the traditional black beans for a tastier side.

Tammy Gordon

The fried avocado taqueria are fantastic - and fast if you need lunch on the fly!

Simon Brown

The Tequila cubes (on the back of the dessert menu ) are amazing. Imagine "Sorbet in Tequila "...

Daniel Altomonte

Don't miss this restaurant if you are in downtown Atlanta. Really great mexican cuisine , nice environment, not so expensive .

Justin H

A little pricey but pretty good. The guacamole flight was great. They don't let you mix and match Taco platters. Very disappointing.

Jason Plotkin

Be prepared for a lot of salt on the chips and in the guacamole . Also this is all you get for six bucks.

Guillermo Mendoza

Not authentic mexican food , average to low corvina ceviche and good masa fried shrimp tacos ! No waiting time, excellent and fast service !

Kevin Duncan

Sit at the bar , great service. Try the butternut squash guac and blood orange margarita . Awesome!

Monica Stangle

Fried Avocado tacos are great! Def try the spicy green beans too.

Katie Harrell

CS was our bartender last night and he was fantastic, quick friendly service and great unique drinks. Will be back soon!

Noemi Ramos

They have a great appetizer happy hour menu with a great selection of wine ... For 5 $ ...

Fatih Guvenen

Best modern Mexican food I had in a looong time. Also amazing service to boot!

Laini Madhubuti

Great happy hour . Choose from five different $5 drinks and five different $5 antojitos every day from 4-6pm.

Dave Cartwright

I rarely eat dessert . Their tres leches cake is amazing, though.

Great modern Mexican - no cheesy, rice beans dishes ! Loved the chicken mole

Sierra Funk

This place is heavenly! The rock shrimp huanchaca was AMAZING. Definitely worth the price!

Karen Lopez

Veggie options sound great. Mostly flavourless. Corn tortillas are grocery store quality. Avoid them.

The Flight Goddess

The drinks! The menu changes since the foods are seasonal😋

Kevin T

Get the fried cheese , it's amazing!!

Duncan Connor

Traditional Mexican dishes reimagined and done right. Eat here. Do it often.

A R

Great spot for lunch . Try the Huevos Rancheros .
