    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.

    Food was so good that all I got was the after shot.

    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.

    I came during the week for happy hour. They have great specials and the food was good.

    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.

    Food was tasty and lots of options that are Mediterranean and Mexican. We were checked on every so often so the service was good. With the music, it is certainly trendy.

    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.

    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!

    Welcome!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Happy Hour

    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!!

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    Wanted to love it…read more The vibes are there, the staff is genuinely lovely, and there's real potential here, we just had a bit of an adventure getting through the meal. We had someone in our party with a gluten allergy, and our sweet server was doing his absolute best, bless. We were steered away from the tostadas as a starter due to gluten concerns, so we pivoted to guac...which then arrived with a gluten-free tostada. So the tostadas would have been totally fine! Then a good while after we'd all ordered, she was told her entrée had gluten and needed to be changed. She reordered, and almost immediately, the rest of the table's food came out. So we were left choosing between eating without her or letting everything go cold. And the plantains she'd reordered around, because she'd been told they couldn't be made gluten-free? Turns out they absolutely can be. Just miss after miss there. The spicy margarita was more of a margarita that once passed a jalapeño on the street. I asked for extra jalapeño juice and they were happy to help, but without the seeds and ribs it just couldn't deliver on the heat. I'd skip the margs next visit. This just wasn't quite the relaxed easy dinner we'd hoped for, and the price point feels like it's a step ahead of where the experience currently lands. But I'm rooting for them to get there!
