Dinner before a show at the Fox. The walk from the Fox was reasonable but definitely a small hike. About .5 miles. Reservations for 5 so the dining room was pretty empty when we came in. It started filling up over the course of the hour. Service was stellar. Cool upscale Latin vibe inside. We did a combo of tapas and entree. For tapas we had the toro guacamole, patatas bravas with harissa, black beans and calimari. All were super tasty and came out quick and hot. The entrees took quite some time to come out, a little too long. But I had the pollo al horno. The chick was delicious! The pickled vegetables were awesome and a nice acid break from the chicken and rice. Super good entree. Wife had the el toro vegetariano which she loved. Over than the entree taking. Bit too long to come out, all in all it was a great meal. Great cocktails, great service and I hear a fire show we missed at 7:30. read more

I got to the bar and took a moment to take my order. That set the tone for the evening without me knowing. I got a drink and waited on a friend to join. My friend arrived and took a moment to get her drink order. I placed a paella bowl order along with my friend drink. The paella came out and it was not cooked right, it was cooked with too much water so I could not even find the individual rice grains, needless to say I did not try to eat it. It got returned. I explained what was wrong with it and was told they were cooking more so I waited on the second batch. My friend was also finally able to order, she got the guacamole and she liked it. I got paella from the "second" batch and it looked a little better ONLY, I tasted it and it tasted like water, I tried the shrimp and it was water logged too so I just put it to the side and did not complain anymore. The beef empanadas were good, so was the chicken empanadas according to my friend. I also got a shrimp taco and a bbq taco, they were good just too little. The disc was as big as a mayonnaise jar lid not a good value for $4 each. I will not complaint about the drinks, those were good. That affected me the most was the wait. We had to try and make some type of contact with the bartender to order. I was getting upset so I asked for the check which took FOREVER to get. That was something else, I only looked that the items were correct and nothing else. I was not warned that 20% tip was added already so I double tipped. MY FAULT, I WILL NEVER go back. read more

I thought the ambiance was cute but I wasn't a big fan of the burger I got -- it was really dry tbh and didn't feel worth the price ($25). The drinks were great tho! Service was slow as well. Everyone got there food 20 min before me Empanadas and potato's were v good! read more

My server Jesus was amazing he went over all the ingredients in all the dishes I was interested in as this was my first time here. Also parking is validated Drinks I tried : Mad hatters elixir- has a little spice from the Serrano but it's balanced out by the sweet from the lychee. Cheshire Tea Time- good flavor from the coconut tequila, didn't taste any of the blueberry syrup that was listed on the ingredients. Food; Gambia's Al ajillo- garlic brandy sauce tasted great. Little spice from piquin peppers. Grilled bread was a little too chared for me. But this was by far my favorite dish. Crispy pork belly- the sweet from the honey glazed pair well with the spice from the poblano aioli. Pork was a little tough Esquites- could tell it was corn actually off the Cobb. Good lime flavor I also tried the black beans a white rice which have great garlic flavor. The space was decorated beautifully with the Alicia in wonderland theme and the live fire show was an added bonus. read more

Such a fun place for a date night or girls night. They always have some sort of live entertainment, dancing, fire breathing or a musician -- sometimes all 3! The food is incredible and the location is so convenient with a parking deck just to the left of the restaurant. read more

My gf & I came here for their cute Valentine's Day pop up. Parking is validated & there's information on their website on how to find it. Their pork belly was delectable, guac well seasoned, & I wanted to try their Yucca fries but they were out. I had the Still Got the Blues (for You) & Love from Grenada, which tasted like Robitussin on ice lol but my friend's drink was really good! I'm not really a smokey drink person, but I wish I would've gone with that one instead. They also had a delicious coconut tres leches cake with a guava sauce on the side - YUM. The decor was cute & festive. The fire show was a nice touch. My only qualm & reason why I knocked a star off is because they sat us in the corner by the door & it was COLD. I wanted to move, but my gf said it was fine. Later on, she confessed that she was freezing. Our server was really nice & helpful though, so I feel like it wouldn't have been an issue if we asked to move. I'd recommend that they insulate the bottom of the door somehow to keep the cold out. read more

I visited this restaurant in Nov. 2025, during weekend brunch. They had a bottomless mimosa special which is why my friend and I went. The server was attentive even though they were super busy. I got the steak and eggs for brunch which was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and they have indoor and patio seating perfect for when the weather is nice. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came here while working in midtown Atlanta for a pop up event. This is located across the street from the Midtown Marta station.- pics of lobby I ordered an order of the mussels verde without pork. I didn't know what to expect with the green sauce it came in. But it was so flavorful and filling. Good size portion where i shared with my friend. It came with bread slices and we asked for a lemon. Our waiter was great and knowledgeable! I forgot his name but he has amazing black hair and mustache and tattoos! He said he works most days :-) read more

Super nice and beautiful Latin restaurant. They mainly serve tapas, which you can enjoy a bunch of different small bites. We ordered empanadas, ceviches, chorizo & sausage plates, street corns and a spicy shrimp dish with sourdough, and a side grilled chicken for the baby. Everything executed perfectly, especially the chorizo sausage plates and ceviche! I won't say anything negative about the food here. The service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is great. I'm happy we came here for dinner while we visited Atlanta. read more

I had a good time at my brunch experience here! The food was pretty much as you'd expect in a Spanish tapas style restaurant. They do refill the crunchy tortilla rounds for dips which was a plus since salsa is not complimentary. Our favorite was definitely the chicken empanadas. I got the white sangria which was delicious! My friends did bottomless mimosas, and since overall service was pretty slow this was not the greatest experience constantly needing to flag someone down for a refill. But overall it was a reasonably priced meal with a lot of variety. Glad I checked it out. read more

First let me say our waitress Juliana was FANTASTIC. She was double sat with a very large party of 8, another party with 5 and a rambunctious kiddo (cute as pie), as well as my party of 3. That is just upon arrival the area filled up throughout our time there. She did exceptionally well. We know she was stressing- she gets a gold . Ok. Now onto what you came here for. Food and place review!! It won't be long because it was excellent!!! Food was delicious- everything was fresh and beautifully presented. Just look at the pictures. The tapas are tasty and a great collaboration of flavors. I will return- great date night spot or for a girls/guys night out!!! Not to mention the excellent decor!! read more

If you're looking for a Halloween cocktails & decor this is a good option for you. FOOD: Slightly pricey for what I would call Tex-mex but, more seafood than anything. SERVICE: Staff was nice & very professionally attentive. AMBIANCE: It's laid back yet sexy restaurant. Great for a date nite, game nite due to the bar tv or even a girls nite...they deliver! Also, Wednesday they have the fire dancing lady there after 7pm or at 8. (Double check that time though...due to seasonal time change) read more

2.5 stars to be precise. I went there again this year with my friends. We ordered four tapas and the half chicken entree. They were just ordinary. The ceviche was the best. I like the sweet potato chips whose sweetness paired well with the sour fish. The Brussels sprouts and albondigas (meatballs) were OK. The soy maple glaze of the pork rib tasted nothing but bitter, I believe that it was burnt. The chicken was Okay--just like what you get in most restaurants--but the pickled veggie on the side had a piece of stainless steel scrubber! So we were disappointed. Service was disappointing as well. When I asked about the bitterness of the ribs, our server just smiled and said nothing. What does that mean? And she did not even apologize for the chicken, even if she took it from the bill. read more

If you are looking for an incredible spot for brunch or dinner, this is the place. We went to check out the holiday pop-up, and it was such a fun time. It was completely decked out in holiday decorations with some festive holiday drinks. We went for brunch, and they offer a nice-sized brunch menu that includes some specialty items, as well as many selections from their regular menu. I love the menu; it offers a wide range of excellent options for everyone, including a variety of vegetarian choices. I tried the chicken and churro waffles, and they were amazing! They tasted exactly like huge churros. We also tried some chips and guac, a perfect starter, and the mussels, which we loved, especially the sauce they were in. I was very pleasantly surprised by the salmon tartare flautas; the salmon was definitely of nice quality, and the crispness of the tortillas went so well with it. Everything also had such a good flavor. The cocktails and mocktails they had were great; they have a ton of options. I loved the persefone mocktail, and it was amazing. It was so creamy, and the flavors were so good. The service was a little slow, and they were out of a couple of items, but it didn't significantly impact our visit. read more

I came here on a Friday to grab lunch with my friend since it was the only restaurant in the area that grabbed our attention! I loved the decor outside and how it was decorated for Halloween on the inside as well. We got seated quickly and our waiter walked us through all the options. To start off, we got the guac which tasted super fresh and loved the chips it came with. We also got patatas Bravas which were delicious! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and paired really well with the sauce. I went with a taco plate and got the fish taco and 2 veggie tacos. The fish taco was very fresh and loved the sauce and veggies on it. The veggie tacos were also delicious and would definitely get again. Overall, I really enjoyed the service and food here and would come again! read more

AltaToro is located in one of the busiest area in downtown Atlanta. Parking was fairly easy, they offered validations for garage parking. We had a reservation. We were seated in the indoor patio space. The decor here is AMAZING! If you just want drinks and photos, this your place and the food is good too. I ordered the AMOR LATINO-corazon teguila, coconut liqueur, lime coconut water, pineapple, passionfruit $13. I also ordered the beef empanadas$11, and my bookclub sis got the chicken empanadas and we swapped one. Beef was so much better than the chicken! Lots of flavor. We also ordered the HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS-* sunchoke mousse, crispy quinoa, roasted corn, oranges, frisee lemon vinaigrette, rosemary demi glaze $38. The dish was worth sharing. The lamb chops were tender! Had another another AMOR LATINO AND enjoyed the live entertainment from a dancer they have perform in the restaurant. Pretty cool. Thanks AltaToro. Here are a few photos.

For food, strongly recommend the Churro Waffle and Fried Chicken. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! read more

This was on a recommendation from a friend so we gave it a try. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with a wide open feel. Comfortable. And the food was amazing.

The service was great and knowledgeable. So yeah I recommend it. read more

The decor is delightful. The restaurant seems pretty clean. The drink menu sounded very good but what was brought to the table was not. My lavender Paloma tasted like watered down mezcal. Did they forget the grapefruit? We ordered 2 other cocktails as well and they were fine. Just fine. The food was mediocre. We ordered a lot and not much of it was worth talking about, unfortunately. The entrees are definitely more worth ordering than the apps or tapas. To round out the portions, they plate with a lot of potatoes. To their credit, if you like potatoes, you won't leave hungry? Expensive and mediocre. Nice for the gram I guess read more

Came for the Halloween decorations, and festive drinks. Service, 10/10 I think his name was Brian M. He was a sweetheart. Got me in and out, great recommendations, and took the drinks I didn't like back no questions. The Frozen Lychee Lavender Margarita was delicious. And strong! It kind of looked like a ghost. All the frozen drinks were strong. I love how thick their frozen drinks are, but I couldn't drink it because the straw was too skinny. They need to order the wide mouth smoothie straws I get from Amazon. The quesadilla was really good. Definitely recommend for this month. read more

Solid choice for Latin food in ATL! I've been a couple of times, but most recently for the Valentine's Day experience: Cupid's Cove. The decor was beautiful which is no surprise, but the true highlight os the experience was the fire dancer who mesmerized the entire crowd while we sipped our cocktails. We had two servers (one was in training), and they both managed to provide stellar service. On to the food: the cupid's crush cocktail is perfect for someone like me who likes their drinks on the sweet side. The ceviche was delicious and so were the empanadas. While I opted for the gelato dessert, I have to admit I wasn't really a fan of either flavor (passionfruit and raspberry), they were a tad bit bitter. Overall, I'll be back but I'll order something else from the dessert menu. read more

There was a lot of social media hype about this restaurant and I enjoy Spanish and Latin cuisine so decided to check this restaurant out. The location is nice albeit parking isn't the greatest, and when you enter the restaurant is beautifully decorated with a huge tree as the centerpiece of the main dining area. I sat at bar and ordered a few dishes including the. Seafood Paella, Empanadas, and Grilled Skirt Steak; I also order a few cocktails. I will say that the food was decent, but I was not at all pleased or impressed by the drinks. Overall, it was an average experience so will probably give them another try in the future to see if perhaps the cocktails have improved over time. read more

AltaToro: A Lively Experience with Fire & Flavor! I went to AltaToro for a friend's birthday dinner, and overall, it was a solid experience! They had a Valentine's Day setup, which was nice, though not as extravagant as some other spots. Still, the ambiance was lively, and the real highlight? The fire show! A performer came around doing fire tricks at least three times during our seating, which definitely added some excitement to the night. I ordered the burger, and it was pretty good, but if I were to go again, I'd highly recommend the roasted chicken--it looked incredible! Everyone at the table enjoyed their food and drinks, so no complaints on that front. A small note on service--while our server was friendly, water refills weren't as attentive, and at one point, I was still eating when they tried to take my plate. Let's bring back proper table etiquette--napkin on the plate = I'm done lol No worries tho. Was just hard to finish rice without something to wash it down *yikes* lol Overall, if you're looking for a fun, vibrant atmosphere with good food and entertainment, AltaToro is worth a visit! read more

The ambiance was nice and staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. The food was mid though. We ordered salsa and chips with the green salsa. There were 4 chips on the plate..... they were larger than a normal chip, but still, 4 chips. The salsa was too acidic. It needed something else added to it to balance it out. We ordered off the lunch deals menu. I got a white sangria which was alright but the glass was dirty and I had to ask for another one. The chicken empanadas had good flavor and were pretty decent but the beef ones lacked flavor. The dipping sauce that came with both of them were the same. It was good with the chicken, but the beef needed to be dipped in the acidic salsa verde to be good. The lunch got the job done but was nothing to write home about. read more

Outstanding!!! The food, the service, attention to detail, specifically in the food & drinks! My sister and I dined at Alta Toro for an impromptu Galantines dinner. We had reservations & were seated immediately. We went back and forth about our meals and our Server Nicholas always suggested the items we were leaning towards. Drinks: I had the Cupid's Crush and my sister had the Smokey Sweetheart. The drinks were 10/10. Appetizer: We ordered the Peruvian Ceviche which was also a 10/10. It comes with Plantain chips and has the perfect balance of flavor and citrus. We shared, but I could finish the entire app on my own. Our Main Course: I had the Herb Crusted Lamb Chops and my sister had the Halibut Veracruz. I'm sorry the picture does the lamb chops zero justice! They were tender flavorful and the small salad that comes with it was also very delicious. My sister really enjoyed her meal as well. Dessert: Get the Guava Cheesecake!!!! Absolutely delicious! And you also get a pretty good size! Very delicious! The Ambiance was also cute because they had a portion of the patio decorated with Valentines Decor. There was also a fire breather there performing ever so often and going through the crowd, which was a treat. Overall we were very, very pleased with the service (Shout out to Nicholas & his outstanding suggestions & outstanding service), and the food was absolutely outstanding!! I would definitely return in the future! read more

First the restaurant is very modern & beautifully decorated with ambient lighting & florals everywhere. We were sat outside on the (enclosed) patio as we did not have a reservation but it was equally (if not more) beautiful outside & a very nice night weather wise. (The hostess was very sweet & quick to get us seated) They also had a fire dancer that did a good job of entertaining every space of the restaurant. Our server Nikki was very friendly, informative & attentive. I had the August special frozen lavender & lychee marg - a little too sweet for my liking but a good drink. I also had a tradition margarita which was perfect. For tapas I had the beef empanadas which were perfectly seasoned & fried. The green salsa - mmm so good! As a sauce girlie, I could have taken it as a shot Last but certainly not least- the pork belly! Seriously a STAND OUT! when I say tender, it doesn't really even describe. I picked a piece up w my fork & it fell apart. Cut straight thru it with my knife. Paired with the garlic aioli - tangy & smoky just too good, I am telling you!! My only feedback is I wish I could have tasted a bit more of the glaze. Truly wonderful experience & prices not bad for the location. Definitely check them out! read more

Had our Friendsgiving in the holiday themed room. It was so festive and cozy. The food was good but the service was definitely slow.

We had a blast! read more

The restaurant is well decorated and perfect for pics! The service is good, we went before a concert and arrived around 4pm so it was quiet. We did not know that there was a menu change from lunch to dinner - we were handed lunch menus when we sat. We were talking, ordered appetizers but by the time we ordered they had stopped lunch and started dinner. I feel like the waitress should have stood is what time the change would happen because there were items on the lunch menu we actually wanted they are not on the dinner menu. The chips and salsa were just okay. The guacamole was good, I think the Brussels sprouts were the best thing on the table. Everything else was just okay or bland. I got the fish tacos- which again were just okay. I was a little surprised they didn't have a standard margarita menu but the drinks were okay. I probably won't go back. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The food is great, a lot of fusion type Spanish food from empanadas to paella. A bit confusing given so many different types of Latino food but everything was tasty. Drinks were good. Service is solid. Ask to sit by the big amazingly beautiful tree. They also have the occasional show, fire dancing etc. will be back. read more

The atmosphere here is very nice, and intimate, the periodic fire dancer was a nice distraction from the beautifully plated food. The service was great and timely. We order a few tapas, the star to me was the Yuca croquettes!! This is a must. The fried manchego was delicious and crispy but the spicy pomegranate sauce I could have done without, it wasn't spicy and to me didn't pair well, the mango salsa did however(ask for that swap). The spiked chocolate caliente was..just ok, and was warm at best. I was hoping for something along the lines of a hot Irishman shake, but it missed the mark for me. The scallops were great, and empanadas w/ the mango salsa. For entrees my guest had the oven roasted chicken but it was dry and low on flavor. I had the Herb crusted lamb chops, which wasn't bad, it could have used more flavor as well. Overall I would comeback for the tapas, and atmosphere. read more

There are a million brunch spots I'llin ATL but the wifey and I wanted something a little different for our Sunday brunch experience. AltaToro had seats available for reservations in their main dining area and for their holiday area which was cool. We got there around 3:15 and it was not packed at all, The Christmas area was tight to navigate. Our waiter came and greeted and informed us (1st timers). Our drinks and food came out relatively quickly. Look at my pics for food idea. Over 8/10 read more

Stopped by Alta Toro for the first time and had a mixed experience. The drinks were definitely the highlight -- I tried the Amor Latino and Lavender Lychee Margarita, both of which were outstanding. Flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented -- a solid 10/10 on the cocktail front. Sampled a few tapas: the crawfish cheese dip, esquites, and empanadas. Unfortunately, these were underwhelming overall. Flavors felt a bit flat and didn't quite live up to the vibe or expectations. I'd give the tapas a 5/10. For the main, I had the Salmon a la Plancha, which was nicely seasoned and cooked just right. It was fresh, flavorful, and definitely the best dish food-wise. Overall it's a great atmosphere and phenomenal cocktails, but the small plates could use some refinement. Worth a visit for drinks and maybe a main, but the tapas might not be the star here. read more
