This place is so loud. You have to scream and learn to lipread to be able to have a conversation here.

Stopped in for a good lil vibe and was not disappointed! Ordered an Almenara margarita, nachos and hookah. The margaritas were refreshing and the nachos were nacho'ing! Every nacho had something on them even the bottom of the bowl! The place is high energy and friendly, I suggest sitting in the corner window so you can people watch. The hookah series exceptional! read more

Met here for book club. Party of 8+. Happy hour had affordable drinks and food. Updates are necessary. The tables were wobbly and the menus need to be laminated. The food was okay. I tried the lamb and chicken kebabs. Lamb was dry, but the chicken was good. Spicy margarita is not on happy hour and it was not spicy. Peach margarita was yummy. The music was on point and the vibe changes after 7:30pmish (too loud to chat) Free parking is always a plus in ATL. read more

Came on a Saturday during their happy hour time and was greeted at the front. It was pretty empty when we came in but they were playing cool little slow jams. The hostess doubled as our waiter as well which was just a mess in my opinion. For it to not be that busy, every thing we ordered took FOREVERRRRR to come out. We ordered the $3 tacos, which were pretty small so be prepared to order multiple, and the birria nachos (we ended up getting chicken instead--some pieces of the shredded chicken were dry but overall decent). Like I mentioned, food took forever to come out. I would've been ok if the drinks came out first but nope. Drinks took even longer. The long wait time was confusing to me because there was literally no one else there. Plus, our host/waiter/bartender/all the above, seemed to be a bit confused. The food was decent though, so that's a plus. I would've been annoyed if I waited and the food was nasty. But the margarita (I ordered the peach) was super good. Tasted like juice. Would've loved to get more but the wait we had to just get two simple tacos and a drink through us off so we ended up leaving to go elsewhere. Nonetheless, I may come back another time when I have more time to spare. The inside looked nice and $5 margs are a deal you really can't beat in Atlanta so they won with that one. read more

I ordered the Shrimp & Grits, he had the Fried Chicken Platter, & churros --- yall, the food was SO good! It's spposed to be a Mexican & Mediterranean spot, but it's giving Mexican & BLK. For some reason, they no longer do pitchers but you barely notice cus they keep the dranks cominggg. Ambiance is just ok, but the service & music make up for it. Limited parking, so do what that what you will. Ok, I have to knock off .5 pt because the ladies room is gross and smell like sewage. read more

I made a reservation because this place looks really pretty from the outside and when I searched online it said it was a Mexican and Mediterranean place. Which it is. That said, when I got there, the smell of hookah hit me right as I walked in. I did not see this was a hookah place. Once you are in you get used to the smell, but it was just a lot when I came in. The music was also really loud so it was hard to hear people in our table when they talked. Food-wise it wasn't bad. I ordered the appetizer nachos as my entree since I wasn't that hungry. I had to take must of the stuff out and the tinga chicken was too spicy for my taste, but I pulled through as much as I could. The margarita I ordered was good though. I don't remember all the other orders, but my friends got the same nachos as me to share and my boyfriend started with their hummus and pita, which I believe he liked. The best thing was our server. She was really nice. She moved me from the original table I had since it was really cold and next to the speakers and she was very attentive. read more

This is one of those places that appears to you on TikTok, and honestly it was not what we were expecting, we were one of their first tables but the restaurant felt dirty, booths were full of hookah ashes, also the servers were arguing about some random thing very out loud that the whole restaurant could hear them, but we were in a rush to get on out to the airport so we decided to give it a try. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles and I ordered the chilaquiles, they were both very average, nothing spectacular. But the thing that made me gave it 2 stars was that at the end they added the gratuity, and we were just a party of 2, that's INSANE. I work in hospitality and that's not okay. read more

I wanted to love this restaurant, but the lobster special that they do aggressively advertise on their website didn't exist, and the server acted like she never even heard of it. We ended up getting guacamole app, quinoa salad with shrimp and a seafood app. Salad was cold, including the shrimp, and the seafood stew didn't have any fish in it at all, just shrimp and mussels. Paloma drink was super light. They'll give you a shot on the house if you check in on yelp. There's parking outback but it fills up and no patio but they open the windows which allows for some great people watching. Not sure if we ordered wrong items, but I wasn't impressed. read more

Really enjoyed Casa Almenara! We came during happy hour and got a great deal on drinks -- the passion fruit margarita was amazing. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and we also tried the nachos -- they were a little cold but still really tasty. Our server, Zharia, was super friendly and on top of everything. The place is clean and cozy, and even the bathroom was spotless. Definitely planning to come back soon! read more

Excellent service from our waiter! The resturant is in a convenient location with free parking. contemporary decor, and spacious. Festive atmosphere. I enjoyed my dinner but felt the drinks & meal are a bit too pricey- the shrimp tacos should come with a side and not at an additional expense. Also, the cocktails are not necessarily worth the price as they were average cocktails and size. read more

Too loud and overpriced. The young lady who was our server wasn't very receptive. The manager was very nice and we thought he was just a server because he was filling in the gap. It wasn't until later we found out he was as the manager. The tip was included and it was just two of us. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Free parking, empty on a Wednesday at dinner time, and great service. The waiter was so nice and went out of business way to make it a great dining experience. I really loved that they gave us complimentary chips and salsa. I got the shrimp, birria, and rings tres tacos (one of each) and the shrimp tacos were amazing! The fajitas were also good but the steak a bit overcooked given that the pan continues cooking but plenty for leftovers the next day so good deal overall! read more

As bad as it gets. Food is not the focus here. Met some friends from out of town and they got such a bad impression of Atlanta food from this restaurant. Failed service, sub-par food quality and lots and lots of drunk/high patrons not even eating but just smoking. Def not kid friendly, nor friendly to anyone over 30 with an interest in carrying on a conversation. The smells of the restaurant are off putting, but I think that is because it is a hookah bar, not really a restaurant. The health score on the wall was shocking too. read more

Stopped by for Sunday Brunch. Reservations are advisable! Fortunately Brunch runs until 5(there may be a dining limit but we didn't stay that longer than 90 minutes or so). Brunch specials include $20 mimosas and specialty cocktail carafes. This restaurant used to be 10th and Piedmont, the owners redesigned the space and menu with a latin twist. The interior feels tropical; a DJ plays until 4; and the walls are windows that can be opened if the weather is nice. Same crowd and fun, I believe Blake's opens at 5 on Sunday. The brunch menu features ceviche(table next to me got it and loved it), huevos rancheros, fried chicken, and pancakes. We ordered chicken tinga tostada($10) - best dish we had! Would order two for my main; the burrito which comes with a side of potatoes($18+)and the salad with chicken added($22+) - chicken was super salty. When we sat down we were given complimentary nachos and salsa verde that taste fresh. I think the food is overpriced for what you're getting. Even in the Atlanta market in midtown the portions and prices didn't match. There were no real standout dishes either to recommend going back for another time. Good vibe for fun hanging out but there are places with more food/variety for similar prices. Service was slow to start but once we started they kept the mimosas flowing. There is a free parking lot and free parking on the street until 4, but spots are hard to come by here! read more

Drinks are good. But the waitress wouldn't serve us regular water. 9 people, 9 drinks with liquor, 3 hookahs, and 2 happy hour pitchers. But refused to give us non bottled water. Refused to take song requests also. Love slow jams at 430p black pride, but wanted to here some Flex and Trail Ride songs to get the patrons dancing. Me and my group come here every time we visit Atlanta, which is 3-4x a year. But overall, this visit to Casa Almenara has been lack luster. Everybody in the establishment just existing, but no one enjoying their stay. My only request atp is to do better. read more

It was my first time here, and I came with one of my friends. We actually ended up making a reservation for dinner, and were seated as soon as we walked in. I would say the restaurant in terms of ambience was extremely loud. I wasn't expecting the music to be playing as loud as it was so didn't make it a little difficult to talk, though we still were able to make the best of it. In terms of service, our server himself was very kind though it seem like the restaurant have been going through some sort of transition. Not only do they have a menu that has more Spanish style food. They also started doing Mediterranean. When we asked the server questions about the menu, they didn't really seem to know and ended up just opening up the menu and reading from it. All in all that's good but just seemed like they were all over the place for a bit. Which caused me to start to become a little bit skeptical about how good the food was going to be. I ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake martini, and it was OK, a little too sweet for my liking. For my entrée, I was going to have the whole fish on the Mediterranean menu, but the server guided me towards having the lamb kebabs. I'm super happy that, he did because I really enjoyed it! It came with multiple sides, which were all very enjoyable and had a ton of flavor. I was actually impressed by the portion of the food in terms of what I paid as well. All in all I had a really good time And would come back to try something else on the menu! read more

Decided to stop in after a walk with a friend in Piedmont. It's conveniently located at the intersection of 10th & Piedmont Ave. As we entered the establishment we were greeted & seated immediately by the host. The ambiance is nice, feels like a restaurant that would be located on the beach. The server took our drink orders immediately. I ordered water and the Cranberry Mimosa margarita and my friend ordered the Innocent sangria (mock tail - not pictured). The margarita was extremely refreshing (I opted to go without the fresh garnish). I wasn't hungry so I skipped the food. My friend ordered the Tres Tacos and rice and rated them a 4 out of 5. The restaurant was very clean and multiple staff checked in on us throughout our time in the restaurant. read more

I come here at least once a week for happy hour in the back lounge. Sometimes my laptop comes with me. I've eaten in the restaurant plenty of times but I really want to talk about the lounge area because it's a good lowkey spot and we don't have enough of those, if you ask me. Staff is SO fun & friendly and they're really accommodating. The happy hour special is 4-7 every single day, with drink, food, and hookah specials. I always get the $5 margs & I never have to ask, that's how much I'm in here, lol. Ashley is the best! Come to karaoke on Wednesdays!! read more

Casa Almenara - Happy Hour - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We went for brunch, but didn't even have the stomach to stay and eat or order anything- so this review is not about the quality of the food or drinks. My fiancé and I hadn't been to this specific establishment, but were avid customers of 10th and Piedmont which was in the space prior, so we had high hopes. Upon entering the host seemed fine- more annoyed than anything that he had to be at work but I don't blame him for that (as someone who spent 10 years in the service industry- I know Saturday brunch shift sucks). The real issue was after we sat down. Finding a place to sit on the booth where there wasn't a burn hole from hookah coals or stuffing ripped out was literally not possible. The chair on the other side of the table had visible dirt like someone had their boots on it right before we walked in. The floor was sticky and the table smelled like a dirty college bar top. There wasn't many people in there at all so I didn't feel like it was post brunch rush grime (it was also 11:45am). Can't imagine what back of house looks like when they allow for the front of house to be visibly dirty. Also- noticed the owner threatened legal action against another reviewer? What bad vibes. We won't be coming back and I don't recommend anyone else does either. read more

Overall 1/5: Casa Almenara takes the place of what used to be 10th & Piedmont. Sad to say it was not good in any aspect from food to service. My friends and I dined in to celebrate our friends 21st birthday, and were disappointed with our experience. Drinks 3/ 5: My friends and i came in for bottomless mimosas. The mimosas were fine, definitely worth the price, only con was that they were super sugary. While we were waiting for a table, we had some drinks at the bar. We watched the bartender pour almost a full bottle of the fruit purée into the carafe. Loaaaded with sugar. Food 1/5: The food was super bland. I had the chilaquiles, the chicken was super dry and had no flavor at all. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles, which he said the chicken was also bland and the waffle was stale. The al pastor wings didn't taste authentic at all, the flavor profile was off. Service 0/5: On to the worst part of our visit, we had the rudest server. As soon as he walked up to us, it was nothing but unpleasant. We could tell he was not happy serving us, we were super friendly and engaging as a large party table. He barely acknowledged us, or said anything. He would look down at his ordering system when he was taking our orders, and not even say anything after we've ordered, not even a nod or an okay. We would sit in silence wondering if he heard us or not. (in most cases, he didn't!) We thought that was just who he was, but as we observed him, he went up to another table with the biggest brightest energy. Probably acted that way because he was already entitled to our automatic 20% large party gratuity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Never said more than two words to us at a time, but watched him laugh and smile with another table as he greeted them. Super rude. Do not recommend. Will not return. Business owner has responded with legal action, no apology or accountability for our poor experience. I myself work in the industry and know what i saw and experienced. To be brushed off in this manner is truly unacceptable. read more

We were here for a bar crawl. We got into the space before it got really crowded. The space was not very big where the bar was, but the dining area was pretty spacious. There were two bartenders and they did their best to handle the influx of orders. One of them walked away after taking my friend's order and never came back. She stayed at the bar almost ten minutes waiting for her order. The brunch item we ate was a waffle and chicken tender. The chicken tender was good; could have had a bit more seasoning. The waffle was just okay. It was crispy and flaky, but nothing spectacular. As the restaurant got more crowded employees were walking people to an area in the back. I couldn't see that far back from where I was sitting, but it looked like an additional seating area. We enjoyed our drinks here and the ambience. The decor was really cute. It's right on the corner of a fairly busy intersection. We paid to park on the street. read more

July 2023 Fun atmosphere with a touch of class! Service:5/5 Definitely enjoyed the super quick service. The waitress really understood how to serve immediately upon entry. Super ! Prices: 5/5 As expected for this area, so close to Piedmont. It's definitely not a cheap place, and it's easy to run up a check while having fun here. Ambiance: 5/5 The crowd was lively and light hearted . Although we were the livest , it really was nice that everyone was matching our energy and encouraging a good time among 'strangers'. Taste/Textures: 5/5 Wings were hot and tasted fresh. They were of a good size ...just not enough flats ! Value: 5/5 hard to put a value on a priceless experience. Bottom Line : I recommend this local bar. Prices are decent and music is amazing. The crowd really makes it enjoyable to converse lightly or make lifelong friends. Location is convenient and we found great parking. Even if you were to just stop for a drink, and to unwind a bit, I feel like Casa fills that void. read more

The Sunday funday brunch going into 11pm at night is getting very popular and instead of establishing a system and set price, they're taking advantage of patrons, this place was free, then $5, $10 now lastnight they were charging $20 and $30 to get inside!?!? And this is why these restaurants and bars cannot last in Atlanta, take notes from places like Blake's and Bulldogs who managed to be around for decades and don't price gouge because people enjoy Sunday funday. read more

Definitely won't ever be returning here. Location of their restaurant is perfect, though! Had a reservation for 4 adults and a baby (high chair needed). They flat out told us " we don't have any high chairs " . What restaurant doesn't carry high chairs or boosters? My friend and I are sitting there, struggling to eat out brunch..which wasn't as grand as the reviews states. Her oatmeal..no spoon was given. A fork was, lol. My country fried chicken plate was not as I imagined. Wish I was able to take photos, but again..no " high chair ". Sitting there, struggling to take care of a hyped up toddler. Mid thru our brunch experience, our server then asks if we wanted a high chair. Lol. Not only am I pretty pissed. I'm livid. Was told flat out, no high chairs. She states " they just received them " At that point, I've given up and just wanted to leave. Completely unsatisfied with our experience. The food. The service. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. The waitresss was so rude and passive aggressive from the time my friend and I walked in. She was insufferable. My friend and I walk in and the restaurant has two sides, I ask the lady at the front (lighter skin tone, with a two piece and earbuds in her ear that match her skintone) if the other side was open she says yea.. I said ok which way do we walk, she likes "that way". I'm like ok thanks for being so helpful. The food took like 15-20 minutes even though nobody was really in there with food out of the 5 ppl including my friend and I in the restaurant. She wasn't available at all, she was walking around the dining room on her phone the entire time. The bill comes my friend n I bill was $61 for shrimp nachos and shrimp quesadilla. I pay my portion on my card and my friend pays it with cash. She tells my friend she's gonna take the service fee off of her bill since she's paying cash. I'm like well why didn't you say that in the beginning? She says nothing and walks away. I said I need my receipt before I go, she comes back with the receipts which were incorrect because both of our meals were on the check and we paid separately. She doesn't hand us the receipt either she slams them down and walks away. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!!!!! I wish I knew her name but she was so rude she didn't even introduce herself. read more

We decided to try this restaurant on a whim. Our server David was amazing! He was attentive, friendly, and answered the many questions we had. The mimosas were decent. We had the strawberry and passion fruit. I wish it had a bit more of a fruity flavor. I ordered the omelette but switched meals with my daughter because she did not like the tacos. I didn't care for the tacos much either. The omelette was pretty good (the one bite I had). The rest of the party enjoyed their meals except for the other two who had the tacos. read more
