Great neighborhood Mexican joint. Can be busy and tables are small, but we always enjoy it. Great thin crispy chips. I've learned to stick to their house margarita with sweet and sour (I love a marg with fresh lime juice, but their lime juice isn't so great for some reason). read more

This is a solid Tex mex restaurant in this area. I came with a small group of colleagues and we were well taken care of. I wish I remembered our servers name, he was an older gentleman, and he was great. The decor inside reminds me of a perpetual dia de los muertos celebration, which was off putting for some of my colleagues but fine by me. The table had nachos and guacamole to start, both which were really good. I had a shrimp taco and a pork taco with pineapple. Both were good and were nicely sized for the price. They also have events such as Skelton decorating throughout the year. This is my first hurting but I'm not too far, so I'll be back. read more

This place was tucked away in a larger shopping center type area. It wasn't difficult to find. It was so cute inside! We ordered cocktails and appetizers for a large party we attended. Their guac and queso is amazing!! I had their peach mezcal cocktail and it was fabulous!! Service was outstanding!! read more

The restaurant is in a weird location in west midtown but the vibes once you're there are great. The server I had the last time I went may be one of my favorite servers I've ever had. He was so energetic and helpful. The food is pretty good. I would say it's above your average Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. I would not recommend the house margarita though. It is definitely worth the extra money to get one of their nicer margaritas. read more

This was our first time visiting the Bone Garden Cantina near Midtown Atlanta. The interior is vibrantly and colorfully decorated with what appears to be a day of the dead Mexican theme. Caitlin, our server, was friendly and attentive. She gave good recommendations and was able to describe and compare the traditional menu items to those on the special menu. I tried the adobo steak quesadilla from the special menu based upon Caitlin's recommendation. It tasted very fresh and quite flavorful. Based upon the colorful decor, the good service, and the great food I would definitely recommend and consider returning to this restaurant. Cheers read more

BGC is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. It is in my constant mix of places to eat. If it's a hot day, you can sit inside in the AC and enjoy their cool decor. If you have your pup, you can eat under the umbrella on the patio. Their cheese dip is one of my favorite cheese dips in the world. The bone garden salad is excellent. If I haven't eaten a lot, I add chicken to it to get more protein. I usually get tacos. I used to get their hibiscus taco, but they don't have it anymore, so now I get the mushroom and the shrimp. I also love the chicken Tinga quesadilla. read more

Some friends went to the boat show at the congress center and decided to eat nearby. Been here several times as my oldest lives nearby. Across from the Tol Golf downtown. It is an odd place, or location, at least. Back side of a business complex. If you weren't specifically looking for it, you would drive past it. Day of the dead themed artwork throughout the place. A little dark but comfy. I love this place. Food is always good. Had their Thursday special, birria brisket tacos. Delicious. I'm not much of a corn shell person, but these were a perfect complement to the meat. The esquite (like Mexican street corn off the cob) was awesome. Shared with the table. Only 1 TV in the place, which was a little disappointing trying to watch some of the college playoff game, but that's nothing to pole at. read more

The food here was good. I ordered a lamb stew with a taco to accompany it. It was slightly pricy for the portion servings in my opinion, but I would definitely eat here again. The wall art is also really pretty and nice to look at. read more

Omg! This place is so cool! It's apparently the same people that own the Vortex - so same vibes. The food here is incredible! I will say, it get BUSY here, but considering how good the food and service is, you can't be mad at that. Even with how busy they were, they served us pretty quick. I got their Birria Enchiladas and the sauce that comes on those enchiladas - AMAZING! My husband got their Birria tacos and the consume was so good. I know most places are on the liquid side (here included) when it comes to consume, but it still had so much flavor! So points for that. Most places fall flat on the consume. The queso here, so good! It's not your typical white queso. This one has some spice to it and it's so good! read more

Beware of parking here . It is a metropolis lot and every person in our group received a 62.00 fine ( bill ) for eating dinner here . Not a single staff member made anyone aware of this and the signage is not easily seen at night . read more

Always a good experience here. Ambiance is dark and moody and good vibes. Crafty cocktails and always good food with a huge variety to choose from. Servers are laid back but fun. read more

Never had a bad experience here. Food is great and not expensive at all, they have cool options on the menu and all the staples are always good. For an in-town Mexican spot, the drinks are also really well priced and the service is generally really good. read more

Wow, this place rocked my socks. Guacamole, chips and salsa are fantastic! I also had a margarita the spicy one I cannot remember the name, but I did enjoy it not too spicy . I had tacos and was able to sample a few of the tacos I didn't get because my friends got filled up too quick. Carne Asada taco was fan friggin fantastic. The goat taco was delicious the spicy taco I don't recommend eating like I did, but I would recommend eating. Service was fantastic. We had a large group of 10 and they took amazing care of us. This place has a lot of amazing art and things to look at so definitely open your eyes and look around. The next time I'm in Atlanta, I will not miss the opportunity to go back to the bone garden Cantina. It's almost a guarantee. I will be back here again just for this place. read more

I can not stand this place. The drinks were honestly not good and weren't even what we ordered. I tried to walk in and the hostess was SO rude. We were in everyone's way but they wouldn't seat us either and it was very frustrating. Once our whole party was there we were seated and then it got worse. I split a burrito and everyone received their food except for me. Of course. Then it took 45 minutes to get my meal so I just asked for it to go. Would've been nice to eat there. On top of waiting I just opened my to go container and it's the wrong type of burrito.... Are you joking. As were saying buy to our friends the waitress with curly hair actually yelled at us to either leave or sit because still in the way I guess. Your workers are rude and your food was not good. Last time I ever come to this place. read more

Birria tacos and empanadas were very good. Not a huge fan of the queso and the guac. Salsa and homemade hot sauce were great. The mole enchiladas were pretty decent, but I wouldn't order them again. read more

Went here for lunch one day. Ordered the queso to start and it was good. Chips could use some seasoning. The steak burrito was awesome. A little spicy, which I wasn't expecting, but it was great! Service was great, no complaints! They lose 1 star because they don't have fountain soda. I can drink a can of coke at home, so that was lame. Also, they need some signage out front directing one where to go once they get into the parking lot, it's all the way around the back side, which you wouldn't know if you've never been. Overall, definitely good! read more

A friend of mine local to Atlanta treated our group of 3 to lunch at Bone Garden Cantina. It was a Saturday around 1pm when we walked in. There was a short wait, less than ten minutes, and we were taken to a table. The staff were friendly, despite how busy the restaurant was (no open tables). We enjoyed chips and queso as an appetizer and I have to celebrate this queso. The texture was so smooth and it tasted fresh and not like fake cheese. There is a slight kick to it, but I wouldn't say it's spicy. Our food came out quickly and there were no complaints from the table. We enjoyed one of the specials - the steak adobo quesadilla, a house salad, and the birria brisket enchiladas. This is a great cantina vibe restaurant for lunch and we enjoyed the ambiance and flavors! I would definitely visit again if I'm in town. read more

While on a trip to ATL, a large group of colleagues and I decided to go to Bone Garden Cantina for dinner. The décor was so fun and this was definitely a unique place to visit. As someone from Texas, I wasn't sure what to expect for Mexican food in ATL but I was curious to see how it compares to our Tex-Mex. We decided to order a large variety of things to share as a group in addition to our individual meals. I tried the following: - House Margarita: I love a good margarita and this wasn't it. I thought it tasted very watery and like the margarita mix was store bought. I didn't order a second and wouldn't recommend this. - The Three Amigos: average trio dip with chips. This is a standard appetizer to order so I would order it again even though neither the queso nor guacamole were "great". - Birria Brisket Enchiladas (without tomatillo sauce): The flavor was good but this definitely had a kick to it. - Banana Empanadas: I haven't ever had a banana empanada so this was good to try. Of the two desserts, this was my favorite. - Almond Flan: An OK desert that was fun to try Our entire group found the meal to be very spicy to the point that not everyone was able to eat their food despite it being delicious otherwise. If you have a low spice tolerance (like me), I would suggest asking the server. As for service, it was OK. Our server was friendly and did her best to accommodate such a large group but the other staff in the restaurant were a bit short with us if asked a question. All in all, I'm glad we tried it but it isn't a place I plan to go back to if every in ATL. read more

It smells like heaven. It tastes like a dream. Everything here is so amazing, it's almost suspicious. Oh boy, my stomach must be drafting love letters to the chef again. I'm not a stranger to this place, especially after surviving working the wilds of Dragon Con over a long weekend. I'm on a personal quest to conquer their taco menu - a delicious journey, though I confess I've barely scratched the surface. Each taco is a revelation. The elote? To die for. Their salsa? It could probably win elections. And the cocktails... let's just say they have a special way of smoothing over the rough edges of reality. It's like the bartenders are wizards, and their wands are cocktail shakers. read more

I sat at my table for 20 minutes before I actually had to as for service. Our waitress barely came to our table. I actually had to summon her 3 times, to get utensils, place our order and the 3rd time to close out my check. I know I'm 58 years old but the music was super loud. So loud I couldn't barely hear the person sitting across the table from. We had to holler to hear each other. Food was barely average to me. read more

Love this place! Food excellent, Drinks excellent, service and staff excellent! Me and my friends come here often and It has never failed. Today we sat at the bar and Johnathan was the bartender, he was the best! He gave really good recommendations on other things to try, and he was right. Really good guy. The ribs!!

So taking bites of my s/o and friends dishes and my sangria are the reason why this review is not a 2. I ordered the tamales and hated them. This is a strong word I normally don't use to describe a bad dish, but they were awful. I'm not sure it was a bad night or if tamales are not a usual dish they sell, but I highly recommend not ordering them. I tried their chicken and pork one. The chicken one was incredibly dry. The tamale corn part was dense and dry. The chicken itself was not flavorful and dry. The pork one was better, the pork was juicy and tender but once again the tamale tasted dry... a bit stale? It's hard to describe. Overall this dish wasn't... good and if I ever go back I will not be ordering. However my date and friend ordered the steak tacos and birria brisket enchilada were delicious. Totally would have loved both of them. The drinks, service and environment were friendly and had a good vibe. I recommend checking them out. read more

Been twice and already planning my meal for the third time. Location and Parking They are located in West Midtown, in the rear of a business complex. Drive around until you see the colorful patio, and parking is free. Venue and Atmosphere This restaurant is owned by the same people as the Vortex, and the influence shows. The restaurant is decked out with ornate skeletons on motorcycles, as well as massive sugar skulls. Food and Beverages My tacos (chivo: goat, pollo: chicken, and al pastor: steak) were perfectly marinated and cooked. Their house guacamole was also super fresh and the salad dressing should be bottles and sold in stores. It was that good. They don't have any frozen margaritas, but the tamarindo on the rocks was refreshing. Service Or server was friendly and game great food/drink recommendations. Verdict Writing this review made me hungry for tacos again... it's safe to say I'll be back. read more

My partner suggested that we come here after she came for happy hour with her coworkers and I'm so glad that she did. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located in an industrial complex in West midtown. You have to drive all the way around the entire complex as the restaurant is located in the back and on the end. There is a large parking lot so there's plenty of free parking to choose from. Reservations, Venue, and Atmosphere My partner and I did not have a reservation when we went, we went on a weekday so there was no wait and we were seated immediately. I could see it getting crowded the weekends, so I would consider calling ahead then. The venue is very cute, they have indoor, bar, as well as patio seating. The atmosphere is causal, you can come here for happy hour with friends like my partner originally did, or you can come here for a cute and casual dinner date. Food and drinks For drinks I got the Chief's Texas Margarita. It was delicious and strong. My partner had the pomegranate margarita, which she also said was strong but delicious as well. My partner is a salad lover, so we started off with the Bone Garden Salad with grilled chicken. It was a good portion and could either be shared or eaten just by one person. For my entree I got the birria brisket enchiladas, and it was just as good as it sounds and I'm not sure the photo does it justice. Two beef brisket enchiladas, with cheese and red sauce topped with sour cream and quest fresco. It was also served with rice and beans and a salad on the side. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the cheese and sauces were perfectly paired together. The rice and beans were also flavorful. My partner opted for tacos, she had the chive, Tinga de pollo, and the al pastor, all of which she raved about in between bites. Service Our server was great. She was attentive to our needs and checked in on us to make sure we didn't want or need anything. Food and drinks came out in reasonable time and it was all good. Verdict Bone Garden in a hidden gem that I could definitely see myself coming back here and sharing a pitcher of margaritas on the patio with my partner or my friends. This really is a hidden gem of a space and I can't wait to go back. Good food, strong drinks, and a patio. What more could you possibly ask for? Until next time! read more

I've been here twice now and have been very happy both times! I went over the weekend with friends, we stopped to get some food before the GA / Bama game. There was ample seating available both outside and inside - we went for indoors since it was kind of muggy outside. Both times I've been, the servers are prompt and knowledgeable about menu items. There were 3 of us and we ordered the guac, salsa, queso trio with chips to share. We couldn't finish and took the leftovers home, and our server brought us a bag of fresh chips to bring home too which was nice. For my entree I tried the steak quesadilla special and a shrimp empanada. The steak in the quesadilla is incredible and the empanada was fresh and flavorful. My ONE complaint is that the tables are rather small. If we'd had a fourth person it would have been a tight squeeze with everyone's plates! read more

This place is very unassuming. I would have thought I was in the wrong place if there wasn't a Day of the Dead statute outside. The service was amazing. They were fast, friendly and we had a great conversation. Everything is priced extremely reasonable. The theming was so fun in this place and the server told us that the owner is the wife of the husband who owns the Vortex. You can definitely see this place is similar. My husband and I started with the Chips and Salsa which had a bit of heat but super refreshing and you can definitely tell this is fresh and not canned. For our entrees, my husband got the Spicy Pork Burrito which he loved. He loves spice and he said this was VERY spicy. They do not skimp on the spice! I ordered the Carne Adobo Taco which did fall apart which was disappointing but again, super fresh and delicious. I got that with a side of Esquite in the bowl aka Mexican Corn. This was super salty to me so I couldn't finish it but had it been less slow, I would have absolutely loved it. Regardless, I loved this place. This was my husband's favorite restaurant we went to on our WHOLE vacation. We would definitely be back if we were in the area and highly recommend if you love Mexican. read more

This place is attached to sort of a bunch of places it was sort of weird. You do have to pack in back maybe if you wanted to walk you can. There is plenty of parking and they have security that drives around. Once we found the place we walked in and got seated right away, we timed it right because they were not too busy. They do close at 10 and the music was vibing. The staff very friendly and our waiter made some good suggestions. I was expecting the margaritas to be way bigger but this little cup WOW put me on my butt a little lol but the chips and queso!! YUM!!! We shared a bunch of different items the pork tamale and the Barria enchiladas and the elote corn. These were all amazing and a bit spicy for my taste but still good. They do not provide complimentary chips and salsa. Seating was ok a bit squished if you are a bigger person but they do have outside seating. The bathrooms were clean and the decor very nice and fit the theme of the places name. They did have a small bar area if you dined alone. This was a good place to eat at for my visit. Would recommend this to anyone in the area. read more

Great service!!! Went on a weeknight and we got to sit down quickly and the service was very fast too! Drinks are always FRESH! And the price is right for using fresh ingredients! (None of that sweet and sour mixer crap!) Food is delicious but I wish there were more veggie options! The flavor is all there and the spice levels are on point. If you like things more spicy then just ask for the arbol peppers on the side. They are fire....literally! Parking is easy because it is a huge lot and very convenient. read more

Had a great dinner at Bone Garden Cantina. Authentic, fresh tasting food and extremely reasonable prices. We didn't wait at all for an outside table on a Friday night either and food came out super fast. Inside decor is really cool but they blast the AC in there! We started with a pitcher of house margaritas which were delish and strong. Our guacamole app was veryyy small portion wise but the fresh tortilla tips were amazing! We sampled lots of menu items including cheese quesadilla with jalapeños, rice and beans, shrimp taco, cauliflower taco, and fried yuca. The shrimp taco was special and the rice and beans was well seasoned but very salty. I didn't love the cauliflower taco flavor combos personally. Our friends had vegetarian tamales and two enchiladas which they enjoyed and said portions were huge. We were very full and happy leaving and didn't break the bank despite ordering a little of everything. I only wish there were more vegetarian options. Will be back! read more

I love Bone Garden Cantina. It's truly a hidden gem on the westside. The décor theme is Dia de Los Muertos. They do not take reservations, and it's first come first serve, and most of you party needs to be there before you get seated. Parking is free in the lots. You can drive around back and the restaurant is there on the backside or you can park in the front and just walk up the stairs and through the breezeway, you'll see the outdoor tables as soon as you walk up the stairs. We always order The Three Amigos and someone always gets the solo chorizo enchilada. I'm always switching it up and can't say I've had anything I do not like, I do lean towards the camarones enchiladas, the tinga de pollo taco, al pastor taco and the carne adobo taco. Margaritas are delish - recommend the Texas Margarita. The servers and bartenders are always friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Went here for lunch. Was met with a smile by Sam. Yelp reviews led me here for the birria tacos but unfortunately they are only served on special, on certain days. I settled for a hot chile margarita, shrimp verde taco and eltote corn on the cobd. Bottom line......10/10. Absolutely delicious. Lost one star only because i wanted a birria taco read more

Overall, I'd recommend. read more

Bone Garden Cantina - Sacred Heart - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Probably one of the worst food I ever had. The food was heavily salted. I ordered the brisket enchiladas and the brisket was not tender, very salty, and dry. For the app, the Queso dip has potential to taste good if it wasn't so salty. Although the staff was very nice, I'm sorry but this place does not have my vote. read more
