Wow is the only word I can use to start this review! My partner found this spot while we were visiting as we love trying plant based meals in new cities. Visiting from Miami, the Latin food standard is high and this was perfection. The restaurant has great decor, staff is really friendly, and the menu is super ample and diverse. We ordered the take on ham croquetas and they were so delicious. Melt in your mouth, explosion of flavor delicious. We also ordered their salad which came with a vegan feta and that was so good and fresh. For the entree we shared the cubarrito and it was delicious. Really generous portion. I will say food is a little pricey but worth the flavor and ambiance. Unfortunately we didn't get to try dessert as the kitchen closed but it seemed delicious. Would definitely return to La Semilla when ATL.

La Semilla is a chic, pan-Latin vegan spot. The menu emphasizes replicating non-vegan flavors and taste profiles more than it leans in to offerings that are already vegetable forward. For example, guacamole is conspicuously absent from the menu. In its place, you'll find a creamy (still vegan) Queso Blanco. That's a bold choice, but the dupe delivers. My favorite taste dupe, however, is the crunch wrap. It is spot on. It tastes identical to the much more famous, much less vegan version.

The Wheel

My fiancée and I came on a whim last night. I wanted chips and queso, but I have recently developed a severe dairy allergy! Our friends recommended La Semilla so checked online for reservations, but all three slots were snatched out from under me while looking at reservations! We rushed over around 9pm hoping for bar seats at least, but were immediately seated at a mid top(?). Not a high top, not a table, but a distinct height. The place is gorgeous, contemporary, and impeccably clean. Impossibly tall ceilings and shallow sink basins communicate someone has their finger on the pulse. If I was to ever be nit-picky, I would say I wish there were booths! Something to make it cozier. Although I can attest they're a pain to clean. Anyway I ordered the wheel, which is an horchata based drink and it was PHENOMENAL. This drink transported me directly to a beach. My fiancée ordered a spicy margarita (not on the menu but easily concocted) which was delicious to my understanding. We ordered chips and salsa and were immediately blown away. I've had much vegan queso in my time, but never queso blanco. I mean it's just queso period. No one, carnivore or otherwise, would question this if you brought it to an event. We also split the crunch wrap and the carne asada tacos. I really don't know how else to say the food exceeded expectation. The tacos were a stand out to me (hail seitan) for their deep and complex flavor. They were practically indistinguishable from a beef based carne asada, save all the gristle. Now the crunch wrap. If La Semilla opened a sandwich window with late hours, I would be an almost daily frequent flyer for this alone. It is exactly what I want and need without the fear of being poisoned by dairy. The accompanying salsa is precisely true to form. I would really like to try the Cubano sandwich next time, maybe later this week honestly. Our server, I believe her name was Chloe or something that rhymes with that (so sorry--hard of hearing), was the perfect guide for this experience. She answered every question I had and then asked the head chef when unsure. Our glasses were never empty and the service was as phenomenal as the food. If I had a crystal ball I'd say will be back over and over again!

Atlanta is so blessed to have a restaurant like this in its ranks now. If I could give more than 5 stars on this app, I'd be lighting it up! I went on a holiday, which was super busy, but even so, service was prompt and attentive. I ordered a pasaflora to drink, which had a beautiful flower in it, queso blanco with chips, al pastor mushroom tacos, chochoyotes, and flan for dessert. Every single dish was inspired, layered with flavor, creative, and truly unique. The presentation was also lovely and each bite felt thoughtful and well-executed. I would order everything a million times over! One thing that especially stood out was the flan's texture, which was silky, delicate, and perfectly balanced. I was also pleasantly surprised to see fried green tomatoes on the menu. It felt like such a special nod to the restaurant's Southern location, blending regional influence in a really cool way. The owner was super nice, which made the experience even better. The decor is gorgeous and so inviting, with intimate, cozy lighting. The whole space feels clean, artistic, and thoughtfully designed. This is an amazing date-night spot that I truly hope sticks around for a long, loooong time. Everything about the atmosphere and experience makes it perfect for a special evening out. I'm already planning to go back and explore more of the menu, but based on my first visit alone, I might even dare to say this is the best vegan restaurant in Atlanta. The jury's still out, but I'm more than happy to keep doing the research to confirm!! lol Last thing I'll say is that I was so grateful not to have to wade through a bunch of non-vegan menu options to figure I it what I could actually order. I also don't have to wonder if my food was being cooked next to a slab of dead animal, which is not the case most places I go. So, thank you for being ALL vegan. The food is so good that there is no chance a non-vegan will feel they've missed out on meat anyway. Logistical stuff: I saw a little bit of street parking, but not a ton. Parking in the deck is definitely the easiest option. You could theoretically bike/skate the Beltline and just walk a couple of blocks to get there. The space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend making a reservation to be safe if you're visiting on a Friday/Saturday night.

We enjoyed sitting at the bar for a light Friday dinner. Ambience is fun and tropicalish. Bartender was very pleasant and explained the various menu items along with his recommendations. Personally, the menu is fairly limited in scope with the same ingredients presented in different dishes. Not very healthy either with plenty of fried options. Despite the plant based hoopla, it does not come close to similar concepts. Meh

Tacos de Al Pastor Tacos

Food was excellent, well done. Came in at 6:30, no reservation, seated right away. Street parking was okay. Nothing we ordered missed the mark-definitely want to go back and try other offerings!

The vibe
Geraldine P.

This place is so cuteeeee, it was my first time here and I didn't get to try everything but I loved the yuca fries, they're so gooooood and very shareable. Owen was my server and he was a delight, everyone here was so nice! I also got the crunch wrap and I felt like it needed a little more seitan beef, but overall nice choice. The mojito was okay, in my opinion it was missing the sugar like in a traditional mojito not sure if it had any. Overall a great experience and I will come back again to try other dishes!

Cubarrito
Anna M.

We found La Semilla on google maps as a highly rated dinner place, and we decided to try it out. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival, and our server brought us water almost immediately as well. We put in our orders quickly since they were closing earlier than expected-- the kitchen's HVAC system was down, but that didn't stop them from caring for us! :) We also got the food in a seemingly record breaking time. The beans were a tiny bit too spicy for me, although I'm sensitive to spice. My boyfriend enjoyed them very much. The lemon that came with the beans was so incredibly juicy?! It was so fresh. My Crunch Wrap's flavor was awesome, and the sauces were fantastic (although be aware for those with nut allergies, there are cashews in a lot of the sauces). I put some more chips in the crunch wrap for an extra crunch. The Cubarrito was . I wish there was a little more pico in it though. The Cubarrito was my personal highlight of the evening!! The texture... the flavor... all of it really hit the spot. Overall, this was a great find. I'm personally always open to trying something new. I have never been opposed to trying vegan food--I hope those who are reluctant to try it, give this spot a chance!

Peach empanada
Laurie P.

Truly one of the best vegan/food experiences I've ever had. 1000/10 to be frank. The service was impeccable from arrival to departure. They truly care about your interests and how your experience is going throughout the entire experience. The decor and vibe is beautiful and very picture perfect. Would highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans. We ordered the following: Beach Bunny cocktail Flora mocktail Sikil Pak - spicy salsa Fried Green Tomatoes - a must! Delicious, crunchy, refreshing, saucy, etc. Mantequilla beans - very well seasoned & cooked Carne asada tacos - amazing taste Al pastor tacos - different and juicy Peach empanada w/ ice cream - the most perfect dessert

Chochoyotes
Stephanie G.

Don't know why it took me this long to try this place but it was so worth the wait! This restaurant is all plant-based, but their cocktails are also top notch. I did make a reservation and would recommend. We got there 15 mins early but were seated right away. We ordered their agua Fresca of the day (peach) and juarez (pretty much like an old fashioned with mezcal). For food, we ordered the fried mushrooms (my personal fave - the cracked black pepper elevated this dish for me), Crunchwrap (their most popular food item and tasted just like the real thing), cubano (another one of my faves, the pickles were so good and the melted cheese!!!) and chochoyote (very very rich dish but super comforting). Overall, we loved everything we had. Service was good. We were so full by the end of our meal and skipped dessert. We will definitely come back for more! They do validate 2 hour parking at the Modera parking deck, which is a plus!

Croquetas and yuca
Mia C.

Omg! Just what I was looking for while visiting Atlanta . The best plant based Latin food ever. We had croquetas that were smoky and delicious, fried yuca and a Crunchwrap. We also had an apple empanada with ice cream and an agua Fresca which was apple cinnamon for the fall. The atmosphere was beautiful. Really cool place. Our server was great! She made really good suggestions for our meals.

Fried green tomatoes
Sabrina C.

I've visited La Semilla twice - once for a sit down meal and again for dinner at the bar. My favorite is the Cuban but we ordered 3 - 4 other items, including the taco crunch, shrooms and grits + plantain & dessert empanada. Overall, the food is great. The ambiance is nice and the location is convenient.

Queso blanco, carne asada tacos, Cubano

Love the vibe in here, the servers were great and had recommendations on the menu. I agree with previous reviews that the menu is limited, but I don't think a limited menu is necessarily a bad thing (generally means a restaurant is focusing on doing a few things very well). I went to La Semilla with a friend who is not vegan and she enjoyed her meal as well.

All I can say is that I'm genuinely mad that I didn't come here earlier. The food is SO GOOD…read more there's not a vast menu, they stick to their specialty and they don't miss * had the dark meat quarter chicken lunch special. The rice , taste like rice is supposed to (for the latinas/Caribbeans you know what I'm talking about.) the beans are to die for. I'll be trying the esquites next time. The guac is fresh - I could've ate quac and beans and been fine it was so good. The chicken grilled to perfection, just overall impressed. They have a nice sitting area outside which I'm sure is good on a nice weekend or midday. Has a homey, eccentric but Latin asthetic . The plants the umbrellas the lights it's a vibe and the bathrooms are decorated well too. Like I said I'll be adding this to my lunch rotation. I had my good 10 min within ordering got stationary and literally vacuumed my food up it was so good Not to mention EVERYONE was friendly

East Atlanta 7/24/26 1:30pm…read more Cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We went during lunch and it was a full house but we received our order quickly. Went with friends to give it a try since El Progresso's chicken wasn't ready yet. 1.Margarita with Hibiscus $10 2.Whole Bird Meal w/ rice beans and salsa $35.50 3. Lunch special Dark with beans rice chips and guac with drink $16.50 Marg was refreshing in the humidity but I didn't taste any alcohol if I'm being honest. A bit pricey but the chicken was moist and was good. It's seasoned with fresh herbs and earthy seasonings which was different. Rice and beans were good. Pico was fresh. Overall I really can't complain but don't know if I'll travel to the Eastside again for this since there are other options closer to home.

The food is terrific, the owners are incredible and the staff is phenomenal. We've been going here…read moresince the early 2000s. The first server I had here welcomed me to Atlanta. It was a rainy day and my dad and I had arrived before I started grad school at Ga Tech. Our server was an Electrical Engineering student at Tech. It was appreciated after the typical chaos of moving to a new city that he happened over here my dad and I talking and he shared he went to Tech. Over the 2 decades since, I've brought friends who live here and from outside the city to enjoy the great serving and kitchen staff. My wife and I have been many times including on the restaurant's anniversary night last fall. We are sorry to hear the landlord has decided to raise the rent and sell the property. Heather has been our server multiple times. She was our server tonight as we celebrated my wife's birthday with her parents, aunt and sister. From calamari to the desert platter and entrees in between, the food was incredible. The fried lobster tails are a must. The mouse has been my wife's favorite for years. The one note is Jacob the General Manager needs to learn to trust his servers. At the beginning of the meal I let Heather know despite being a party of 7 to just bring the check to me and I'll settle up with the other guests via Venmo. And, at as we were finishing dessert, Heather came by letting me know the next party for our table was had arrived and could she bring our check. I said yes. While Heather was getting our check ($490 Food & $600+ after tip) the Manager came by telling us we needed to finish up and have our check brought. When I asked the Manager to not make this an unpleasant experience and that coming by after Heather had just communicated the situation and I had agreed she told me I should share this feedback with the General Manager. She, Jacob (GM), and I stood on the front patio where I explained what I'm sharing now: Trust your Servers. He said they were front facing and so the management likes to meet the guests. Having your Manager tell us we need to get our check and leave is not the way to meet your guests. Chef Jack and his wife (the owners) are hospitable and trust and appreciate their staff. Jacob having his Manager micromanage the servers management of tables is nowhere close the focus on service the owners have had for 26 years. I hope that Jacob and the Manager take this as a learning moment that if you hire talented people your trust talented people to bring their talents to their job. Sure it was busy. But, that's why Chef Jack hired the staff he hired. Jacob the GM needs to increase the communication with his talented team instead of using the excuse of being front facing to ever overstep their bounds on the relationship his servers have built with his guests. Heather introduced herself when we sat down. Jacob did not - nor should he have. Heather did a phenomenal job making us feel welcome, have food and drink we enjoyed, and even recognizing my wife's birthday with her favorite desert. And when the time came she handled coordinating bringing the bill and having us free the table so a new group could enjoy an evening at Agave. Jacob and the Manager need to trust their staff more. Micro-management is never a good look for your staff's morale or your guests' impressions. Please go see them for Jan 31st 2026 when they close. The servers are all wonderful as are the owners. And the food is like nothing else in Atlanta. The management simply needs to trust the talented staff from front to back of house with whom they get to work. If they're ever in doubt if a server is either providing the level of service they expect or turning tables at the rate needed to keep pace with reservations then talk to the server. The server needs to own their tables. Management should truly be of service to their staff - and you can only do that with trust and communication. Customers should never know management had a single question if the sever was doing what's needed. Because it's a bad look to come by twice about being the check. Especially when the 2nd time is in between the 1st ask if they could and the server bring the check. Of note, I already had my credit card out so that I could hand it to Heather as soon as she returned with the check. And in front of the manager, I handed Heather my credit card. Everything else was great. But, why rush guests?

Came here to try the food before they close permanently on Jan.31st. I was able to grab a seat at…read morethe bar after waiting about 20mins. I ordered the scallops with collards and grits. Everything was delicious. Sad to see them go.

I hope I get the parking situation right but she directed me to a lot, that you pay via either an app or website. She took care of it so I'm not sure.

Picanha a la Parrilla Pulpo a la Gallega Tomate Fresco Patatas Bravas Tuna Crudo Bruselas Enjoyed the tapas. I didn't list them in any particular order but I will say I liked the Tomate the least. The rest, I'd order again or eat on a return visit and if the table ordered it. I'd pass on the Tomate. I guess I was looking for stronger seasoning or more flavor. Service was hit and miss. Friendly and nice but either was intentionally leaving us alone to talk because he did swing by a few times before we placed our order - because we were catching up. A few times I had to ask other servers for help, including asking to close out the tab when it was time to head out. There were other items on the menu I would have loved to try if I had more room so it'll have to be on my next visit. I know there are a few locations in the Atlanta area but I did like the the feel and vibe of the beltline area too - enough to go right back.
