We sat at the bar, and the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. I was especially impressed that even with how busy they were, the quality of the food didn't suffer, a lot of restaurants struggle with that during peak times, but not here. The highlight for me was their crème brûlée. I absolutely love crème brûlée and have tried it at countless restaurants, and Alma Cocina's version was one of the best I've had. It was the perfect way to end the meal. We'll definitely be back. Great food, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere!

Getting to sit back, enjoy incredible food and sangria, and watch the dancers perform right in front of you made the entire night feel vibrant, passionate, and celebratory. I absolutely loved the shrimp a la plancha. It was rich, comforting, beautifully seasoned, and exactly the kind of dish you want to slowly enjoy while taking in everything happening around you. The sangria was another highlight; refreshing, fruity, and such a perfect complement to the flavors of the meal. But the flamenco is what really makes Alto Toro memorable. There's something captivating about watching the movement, expressions, rhythm, and energy of the dancers while you're eating. It transforms a regular dinner into something that feels almost theatrical.

I got the Amor Latino cocktail which I loved and kind of tasted like a light piña colada. The salmon tartare flautas was my favorite of the night. It was crispy on the outide and the salmon tasted so fresh. The sauce and cabbage were refreshing and so much that it was like a little extra salad. The yuca croquettes were creamy and cheesy. The white sauce that came with it gave it a mix of salty and sweet. You can't go wrong with patatas bravas and like the sauce that came with it.

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 food was exceptional, everything we ordered was delicious, and there wasn't a single dish that disappointed. The drinks were also fantastic and very reasonably priced, especially compared to what we're used to back home in Miami. We travel to Atlanta frequently, and this restaurant has officially earned a spot on our "must-visit" list. Highly recommended!

The covered patio is beautiful and much quieter than the rest of the restaurant. This is a fusion spot with mostly Spanish and Latin American influences. The food isn't the best you've ever had, but it's decent and the restaurant's neighborhood is cute and fun. It's a great place to hang out for the day, and Bar.bacoa is a good choice if you have 3 people or less in your party. The group size is about maximizing the value you get here. The portion sizes are small for tapas. The paella was $24 but would be hard-pressed to feed just two people. The ham and cheese empanadas were $12 and came with two empanadas. These rates aren't bad for tapas if your group is small, but any group larger than 3 is going to start losing on the value-to-price ratio. When it comes to the tacos, they're $6 each for tacos that are not new or outstanding, so I would lean on the tapas instead.

Enjoyed my early dinner at La Semilla today. This is a not so new plant based spot in Reynoldstown…read more It's elevated Latin vegan food and it hits the spot. Trust, you won't be missing a thing here. The menu is not too large - they do everything well without a ton of options. Also, they have a diverse cocktails, mocktails and wine selection. No Sangria though - at least that's what our server said. I got a Rose instead and my friend had their Passiflora. For dinner, we started with the chips and queso and fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes had a great flavor and topped with grape tomatoes, basil and a sauce. It was delightful. Our entree's were the Cuburrito - their vegan buritto stuffed with rice, beans, maduros, avocado, carmelized onion & vegan picadillo. I'd add some hot sauce but otherwise it's amazing. The atmosphere is on theme - there's an island hut booth, outdoor dining and plenty of art, plants and music playing. The restrooms are unisex and on theme as well. I'll return for other drink options, more of the menu and dessert.

Like, you can't go back and edit your order, I didn't see the toppings for the tacos at first because you need to scroll down. I ordered the grilled chicken taco and the snapper taco. I got a combo and asked for refried beans and coleslaw. The tacos were good, a little bland, but I added the green salsa that she put on the table and that made them perfect. The coleslaw was a little sweet. I was hoping for a more traditional Mexican coleslaw with vinegar, so I didn't eat much of it. I got black beans instead of refried beans, but they were really good! I put a little on my tacos and they were delicious! I really like Mexican food. I try it wherever I go. I'm in town for the week and this place is we think walking distance from my hotel (the Westin). The servers are very nice. The inside is just an average hole in the wall. But the food is good, and the prices are very reasonable. My combo meal was $14.

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?

It was flavorful, well-textured, and paired perfectly with the creamy orange sauce, which was absolutely delicious. I'd honestly come back just for the mofongo and sauce. The tofu, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was crispy on the outside, but much too salty for my taste, which overpowered the rest of the dish. At $20, I'm on the fence about whether it's a great value. It's not cheap, but the quality of the mofongo almost makes up for it. Would I order it again? Absolutely, but mainly for the mofongo. Next time I'd probably ask if the tofu can be made with less salt or try a different protein.
