Really good food. I got the ground Turkey tacos, which are hard to find. Husband got steak tacos. The chips and guac are great. Staff are nice. Parking lot available although fills up. There is street parking available. read more

Called in for a simple pick up order of shrimp nachos....walked in and asked for it, was told by a lady one minute then the lady proceeded to mix drinks for almost ten minutes straight ignoring me as im starting at my order ready to go around, grab the food and walk out, but of course that would be stealing lol i just wish they didn't steal my time...i simply walked out without my food and luckily with my money and didn't spend almost $15 for some nachos....just because the waitress and bartender look good doesn't mean the service will be read more

We arrived around 6pm on a Beautiful Friday night after walking to EAV from our house. The patio was full, but before we even got inside, a server "greeted" us with "we're all full right now." Didn't ask how many were in our party, didn't even say, "hi". It became clear that our family and children weren't welcome, and the atmosphere did seem more party and young adult oriented. Not sure if we'll give it another chance - in nearly two decades of eating at nearly every restaurant to come and go in EAV, I've never felt so unwelcome. There was a very clear message sent, and it felt bad. read more

Awesome. Had been away from the village for a bit and what a nice surprise. Super friendly and efficient staff. Food was exceptional. Those tortilla chips you always regret eating a ton of? These came with the meal. Were light and lightly seasoned and not greasy. I had the ground turkey burrito with queso which was a very generous portion and very tasty. My only negative what that it was served on parchment paper and the queso started to stick. Had to refrain from wanting to lick the rest of the cheese to avoid eating bits of paper. The fact that the Manager came by the table was a nice touch as well. Hope they continue to bring the service and quality so that they are around for a long time. read more

Burritos are solid. Staffing is an issue; seems more like staff social gathering then a guest focused restaurant. When you have to wait to place an order while 4-5 wait staff gossip - pretty damn irritating. Bring back the lunch special! New management is not making this easy or comfortable. read more

I came with a group of friend on 4/20 - one day after their grand opening in the new EAV location. I'd seen a lot of feedback on Twitter about the vibe being completely different than the previous location on Peters Street (no hookah), but the consistent comment was that the food was good. I'm always willing to give good food a try. We walked in with a party of 5 which later turned to 6. The host accommodated us quickly, but when we requested another chair or one of the three surroundings booths that would comfortably seat 6 we were told 1) there were no more chairs and 2) the booths were about to be seated. The booths were indeed seated within five minutes ... with two tops. Inefficient and not economical but whatever. The special that evening (15 wings and a pitcher of margaritas or Long Island Iced Tea for $20) drew us in, but the empanadas were a hit!! So good. The Long Island pitchers were also bomb!! The star of the evening? Owner Corrina. She was amazing, accommodating, professional, pleasant, and putting up with drunk people like us with style and grace!! Despite our less than experiences with the host and our server I will DEFINITELY be back to patronize the obvious hard work Corrina has put into her business and her impeccable customer service. Give them a little time to work out the kinks, and this place will be an EAV staple in no time. read more

I came on opening night Thursday 4/19 and it was a legitimate situation. Good food, good DJ, and dope 32 oz+ and pitcher specials.

Went in they had a specials menu on the table ordered from that menu when the check came we were made aware the specials weren't valid although the menu was placed on every table... management didn't care to adjust prices to specials price because they were offering that menu. What a shame. read more

We were big fans of Tomatillos's food and think Blu Cantina has really spiced up the look of the space - we really liked the style and design they have brought in. We went in on a whim last night for a quick meal - the chips were fresh and the salsa was really good. The shrimp in my tacos was perfectly seasoned, and I liked the touch of mango. My husband's fried fish taco was well executed as well. The EAV margarita was pretty good too. However, we both thought the sides of beans and rice were suprisingly bland - I NEVER use hot sauce and I used it on these beans and rice - and the server was a bit slack, though the manager did check in with us at the beginning of our visit and was really nice. I know they have been open for only a week or so, and we will definitely give them another chance. read more

Music was on point drinks was big and bomb !! This new location is VERY NICE with FREE PARKING !!! That's always a plus I only went for drinks and I was very pleased ! They are not stingy with the liquor here read more

I love this place! The atmosphere is very laid back and the drink prices are great! The best part of the whole experience was the Ground Turkey Nachos! I read more

BLU Cantina is a great place to go if you want good drinks and great tacos! Their margaritas are good and strong.

The place is overpacked.. wanted to order to go he said they can't hear the phone to take orders because it's too loud inside.. wtf.. waited 40 minutes.. quesidillas we're trash.. go to the one on camp creek 10 x better.. black businesses gotta do better or don't complain when ppl don't support. read more

They do not answer the phone, I have been calling for 20 minutes now... I have a feeling that not even 1 Mexican person works in the kitchen. Because the fajitas had no seasoning at all. No grill marks either, chicken was in a to go box with onions and water... not very appetizing... beans also had no flavor... I'm not happy.. read more

This is the WORST Mexican food ever. I got the order through Door Dash and somehow they got a high rating on there which is total BS by the way!! Two of my menu items were missing and the rest of the order that did arrive was so disgusting.. barely edible. The cheese dip was runny and the salsa was so extremely spicy and sweet. Who makes sweet salsa??? Yuck. read more

service is trash, music is good, and i got food poisoning there. it's a shame i thought this comeback was going to be a good one! I will say their hours make it enticing to go before or after events/the bar but DON'T. You'll be waiting forever for subpar food just to come up sick read more

Love the business, the atmosphere is nice and very fun.. The food is delicious and they give you plenty to eat. I had the steak nachos and they were the bomb. They give you enough to were two people can eat. Serviced quickly and timely manner, and the waiter got us all the way together. I recommended you go to there you will not be disappointed.. read more

If I could give zero I would. The absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced. No one is engaging and asked as if we were inconveniencing them!i would never go there or recommend this place to anyone l!!!! read more

I wasn't expecting the food here to be good but the lemon pepper wings were amazing! The service not so much.

So, we arrived at 8pm on Cinco De Mayo. There was a line.. that's fine we didn't mind waiting to get in. Everywhere in the place it says "2 hour minimum is strictly enforced." That's a LIE, there is no minimum, people just sit there the whole night and don't move. We waited for 1hr and 1/2 to sit down and when we finally saw a place to sit that one of the waiters found for us the manager/owner came over and took the table away from us to give to her friends. I was highly upset, I felt like it was very rude. So then we had to wait another 30 minutes before we finally got a seat. Now it's 10pm. I hurry up and grab a table and sit down, we order drinks and hookah. The drink comes but the hookah never came. We wait for the Waitress to come back so we can order food. She doesn't come back until 10:40pm and then tells us the kitchen is close. So we cancel the hookah and ask for the check. No food, no hookah. I have lived in Atlanta for 7 years I have never been to an establishment that did not stick to the 2 hour limit. We really wanted to support a black owned business today but we are VERY disappointed with our service today. The only plus was that the music was good and the margarita pitcher was good. read more

Don't order the tacos, flavorless, soggy, the steak was chewy, the shrimp was bad and overcooked. I think the guacamole went bad, but they served it anyway. The rice and beans needed salt. The drink wasn't good, small and wrong. I will not be coming back. read more

Food and drinks are great and very well priced! Service was also amazing! They play dope music and their vibe is cool for sure!

I love the specials but that "patron shot" was definitely not patron... I feel ripped off.

Latino food is my favorite food, and this is BY FAR my favorite place. BLU Cantina does everything right...the chips are thin and crispy, freshly cooked, lightly seasoned in something delicious. The salsa is dark, with a roasted, sweet flavor, usually not spicy (I prefer it not spicy). The cheese dip is flavorful and perfect. I love the ground turkey burrito (made to order how YOU want it) and the chicken and cheese quesadillas. They also make great margaritas. The service is always friendly and prompt (shout out to Marcus!) and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. For such excellent quality, the food comes at a refreshingly low price. They stay open late too (for when you leave The Basement hungry). I eat there at least twice a week now and the quality never wavers. Such a gem in EAV! read more

i've been here before. from what i remembered, the food was decent. i tried to dine in, but i couldn't get any service. they weren't even busy. never again. read more

Food is amazing!! The tacos, wings and margaritas are really good! I can't wait to come back and try everything else.

I enjoyed the food. I had wings and rice. The wings are small but they came with a pitcher of beer so I can groove with it. The service was a little bit slower than I would have liked. read more

I really enjoy my time here, the food was GREAT and MORE importantly the SERVICE was EXCELLENT!!! Our server John was was the BEST he made sure that we had all that we needed and more, I appreciated his attentiveness!! Then we met Marcus the Assistant General Manager he was also very polite and made sure we were taken care of and all of our needs had been taken care of I will truly come back and recommend this as one of the BEST restaurants over here in the East Atlanta area. My new spot read more

Awesome experience. Friendly owner. Dont listen to the wokesters with fake bad reviews talking about cats. Recommend!

Me and my family frequently this location often. The stafF is friendly, and the food is good. My son always gets the wings, which are always cooked perfectly and crispy. I also love the sampler platter with the Southwestern Egg Rolls and the Chicken Empanada. They also have games to play which is great to keep the kids occupied. The only thing is it's not enough options in regards to other meats. It's mostly chicken options. But all around a great place! read more

I haven't been here since ownership changed the last time and not since pandemic. All other restaurants in this neighborhood follow strict pandemic health and safety guidelines. We are trying to support our neighborhood businesses during economically challenging times, so we were willing to try Blu Cantina again. Our server was nice, but was not wearing a mask. She was leaning over our table in very close proximity to our faces, with no mask. She didn't notice how I would back away from her as far as I could because she was making me very uncomfortable. This eatery does not require their staff to wear masks. When confronted about it, she said she had one inside and we had to ask for her to put it on for our table. This is not how restaurant service should be during a pandemic. She seemed irritated that I had to explain why I was uncomfortable by her not following common pandemic protocol for service industry workers. We gave this joint a second shot after several years. There is no third chance after this. We won't be going back. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!! So DISAPPOINTED in this new location. Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and it couldn't have been more of a mistake. There were hardly people there when we showed up. We placed our order and our food came out in cycles opposed to everyone's food coming out at the same time. My friend ordered a drink from the bar and after 20 minutes, she decided to cancel it because she couldn't understand why all of the food had arrived before she received a simple Moscow mule. The waiter never offered the rest of us water as we waited for our food so we consumed our entire meals without any beverages. I had to ask for the check and a water at the same time and I still received the check before the waiter brought me a water to-go. Also, as we were eating, an EXTREMELY RUDE waitress insisted that we consolidate our party to one table, to accommodate a party of 10, even after explaining that that we had more people on the way to the restaraunt. In response, I asked "how will we accommodate the rest of our party once they arrive?" Her poorly trained response coupled with cynicism and attitude was "We'll just have to move you to another table!" Please keep in mind that we had just begun eating, as she forcibly snatched table away from us, with me barely having time to grab my food off of it, while my friend is still sitting there waiting on the drink that never arrived. When we asked for the manager, he came to our table and listened to our complaint and NEVER APOLOGIZED about the inconvenience! He just nonchalantly said that he would talk to the RUDE and ATTITUDINAL waitress about the incident and never did as far as we saw for the duration of our visit. She wasn't even serving our table and she continued to walk by our table looking at us with an attitude and talked to he other servers about the exchange while drawing their attention to our table. When our actual waiter brought the check to the table, it included the entire check for the table next to us and the drink that my friend had cancelled due to extended wait time. This led to us waiting another 10 minutes before we received an accurate bill for our visit, and once again the manager was aware of this incident and did NOTHING to compensate for this inconvenience. This was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL and since there is no way of contacting a corporate office to complain over the manager on duty's authority, I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!!!! read more

Food is excellent but we continue to have problems on every visit. Went last night and was told kids were not allowed after 8 because of hookahs but it says that it's a restaurant. Attempted to place a call in order and they got the music blasting so loud that the waitress is yelling in attempt to hear you and after 5 attempts she hung up. I have been there at least 4/ 5 times a month and continued to have problems either with them making my food wrong too this. Service is never an issue they just don't have the fit for a restaurant. It should be a club! read more

Plain and simple this place is just not very good. Service is slow and inattentive. Food is uninspired and lacks creativity. The only thing going for BLU Cantina is their location. I went once and that was enough. I don't recommend it and can't imagine it will be around for very long. read more

First and foremost I came to the establishment and I was very happy it was back open. My friends and I was a regular here at the old location. I was definitely expecting a great outcome as usual. We get to the restaurant at 9:30 and we find a seat. It took a waitress 10 minutes to come over and greet us. We automatically said well it's new so let's just give them a chance. We placed our food and drink order. My boyfriend had burrito and I order wings and fries with a pitcher of margarita. We asked for a strawberry pitcher of margarita and received the House flavor. The waitress came back after a few minutes and brought back the the margarita. At about 10:00 before we got our food the manager comes over and tells us the restaurant will close at 10:30. So, now we're upset because we have to down this pitcher and then rush to eat. Online it clearly states it closes at 12 a.m. We were confused as to why we were not notified before we ordered. So the burritos come out and they look delicious and my boyfriend even stated they were good. Well my wings come out and I asked the waitress where were the other wings because they were small. She said I asked the cook the same question. I asked for them to take the wings back and she brought them back and stated that's all we have but we can cook more. I said No and I eventually had to order some mediocre tacos. So we definitely won't be back. I only have them a 2 because the waitress wasn't bad, she could only do what she was allowed to do! read more

We came here for taco Tuesday a few times and the food is good for the price! However, when we ordered a pitcher of Corona last night, it came out about 2/3 full (I'm not exaggerating! I wish I had taken a picture. It barely filled 3 pints). When we asked the server about it she said they didn't want to fill it too full so it wouldn't spill on the way to the table. Huh? We are paying for a pitcher of beer so we should get a full pitcher! I did notice that other pitchers being delivered to other tables were not full either, so it must be an owner policy. If so, it's a bad policy. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

Don't order a pitcher of beer. We did and it was about 2/3 filled which was not even three glasses. When asked about it the server said they don't fill them all the way up because they don't want to spill them. Perhaps better servers are needed? We felt gypped. read more

Pretty average Latin cuisine with below average service. My friend and I went in on a Sunday afternoon and were one of two tables in the entire restaurant, our waitress was slow and also really rude to my friend asking them "...that's it?" when they told her their order, as if that wasn't enough food (it was a nacho platter and a huge portion) or she wanted them to get something pricier on the menu...we both sensed the latter was the case. She ignored us for most of the meal, also forgetting I asked for more water, twice. The other waiter came to help us out with getting boxes and took the time to see how we enjoyed everything, which was appreciated. read more

Dishonest practices, customer service so/so, the food was questionable and the drinks no comment! Some friends told me about this place after I mentioned where I might be able to find some good tacos...well I don't think they really knew what I was describing. The tacos were :( like for real how can you not get a taco right, they tasted like they had been sitting for a while and they tasted salty as if that was the only seasoning they had on hand... The wait staff seemed a little slow to attend to customers as well as the waitress was slow to greet me to take my order but I did notice the workers themselves like to gather and talk to one another at the bar and once they were done it was like ok back on the clock we go ..the vibe was over all a little different for my liking and beware blu cantina does like to up charge there customers so pay attention to your receipt.. little scam artist on the prowl. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and it was lively but not insanely busy. The food was delicious and they gave a great amount of it. The music was loud, but we didn't mind since everyone in our group talks loud anyway. The house margaritas were only $6 and actually had a decent amount of alcohol and tasted really great. The waitress was attentive and anytime we needed anything she responded quickly. There is also hookah if you're wanting a chill place to eat and smoke, but it is a little pricey. Overall, really great! read more
