    Shrimp Po' Boy

    When you want Cajun-Mexican fusion close to downtown but don't expect polish, Dos Bocas fits the bill. I booked a reservation for an early dinner (5:30 p.m.) and quickly realized I didn't need one--almost no one was there. The setup is a bit unusual: a cantina-style bar at street level and then an elevator ride up to the main dining room. Location is convenient if you're staying downtown, but the experience itself leaned mixed. Service & Atmosphere * Greeting felt more casual than professional--friendly enough, but not polished * Dining room and high chair weren't very clean, which set a poor first impression * Vibe overall felt like a basic sports-bar-meets-casual-cantina rather than a destination spot Food & Drink * Po' Boy - flavorful and satisfying; highlight of the meal * Fajita Cajun Shrimp - well-seasoned, solid execution * Fries - crisp and tasty * Local Beer on Tap - good selection, easy pairing with the food Verdict Food here is the strong suit--simple, tasty Cajun-Mexican fusion that hits the spot if you're in the area. But uneven service and cleanliness issues hold it back. Think more "bar food with Cajun spice" than a polished dining experience. Worth it for a quick bite or carry-out, but not a go-to for a memorable night out.

    After finishing a 3hr visit at the Georgia aquarium, we walked around for nearby restaurants to explore downtown Georgia to satisfy our hunger. We tried to go to a couple of places but there were at least 25-30min waits for a table. Then, we walked down the street and saw Dos Bocas with no line. This should've been a sign about how the restaurant really is. Our host/server immediately sat us at a table and gave us chips and salsa. We looked for our menu items we were going to order and did not see our waitress again for another 10 mins until we ordered our food. There were probably 2 other parties there before we sat down, but we somehow were waiting for 35+ mins for our food to come. The worst part was that another party that sat after us with the same number of people that ordered the same items as us got their food first. I figured they forgot to put in our order but other reviews are stating that this also happened to them in the past. It would've been nice to have more updates with our waitress of where our food was. Though I feel like my hunger might have made me sound more impatient, I wouldn't be as harsh if the food was actually good. My shrimp po boy was lacking in flavor and the bread was very dense, making it a hard sandwich to eat. The batter on the shrimp was also just okay, but fell off too easily when eating. The nacho toppings were not evenly distributed. The quesadilla was like any other one that I tried. Definitely not worth the price and would not recommend. A skip in my opinion.

    Was here in Atlanta for a conference. It was 10 min walk from springhill suites. It is also very close to the Georgia Congress center. There was no wait to be seated. They have tables on both floors and have patio seating. It is also right across from the aquarium. Fast service. I enjoyed the catfish entree. The beignets satisfied my craving. They are also open late til 10pm.

    After spending the afternoon at the Coco Cola Museum my family and I were a lil hungry. Dos Bocas was right was near by and with no wait. Now we were all skeptical given that the restaurant was tex-mex/ Cajun. They brought out the complimentary chips and salsa....banging!!! It like the chips were seasoned with some sort of Cajun seasoning!! The salsa was nice, flavorful as well. My toddler was had his cup of salsa to himself he enjoyed it so much. I got the appetize chicken quesadilla deluxe with a side Cajun shrimp. That shrimp( not pictured)j was soo good. The batter was nicely seasoned and had great crisp!! The remoulade very nicely balanced, a tasty bit of spice and very slightly tart. Soo good. This quesadilla!! This was supposed to be a appetizer!! It was soo big i couldn't finish. Filled with perfectly seasoned chicken, a nice cheese pull!! Soo good. It was such a great snack later that night lol!! Our whole party was pleasantly pleased with the food. Cons: it took a awhile for our food to come out but the staff was and kept us informed. So if you are near the coca cola museum or the Atlanta Aquarium i high recommend!! They have an upstairs and downstairs, there was no wait for us !!

    Everything was just bad and I mean who can mess up some enchiladas.... Or a quesadilla. I don't live in the area but won't be back again. One of the waiters looked so mad, not wanting to be there at all

    So good we ate here twice during our stay. Natalie and Jolee our servers were great and Adrian, the service manager made sure we were taken care of. Can't say enough about the friendly service. The food was fresh and good also. And....The jalepeno Margaritas made by Charleston the bartender were the star of the show!!

    I had been to Dos Bocas a while back when they first opened but hadn't been back since, so it was nice to have a second experience. Sat at the bar downstairs and was greeted right away by Bre. She was so pleasant, professional, and attentive. She immediately brought me some chips and salsa and I ordered the Enchilada Verde and the house Margarita (Avenue C Margarita). The enchiladas were very good (I like extra sauce and spicy so added some salsa and Valentina which kicked it up a notch). The rice was ok and the charro beans tasted more like chili than charro so minus one star for that. I also ordered a Lonestar Margarita and that was good as well. I must say in this economy, I really appreciate Mexican restaurants that provide guests with complimentary chips and salsa. All in all, this was a good experience so I would consider coming back. I just wish the restaurant could come to an arrangement with the parking company where diners can get their ticket validated or discounted to park in the attached deck as the rates are a bit high.

    Enchilada De La Casa with Beans and Rice. Mmm Mmm.

    My wife and I recently visited Atlanta and stayed at the Omni hotel. After a couple of days we decided that we needed something different like old fashioned Tex Mex and then we discovered Dos Bocas within walking distance from the hotel, just on the other side of Centennial Park and we were pleasantly surprised. Dos Bocas is sort of a combined Tex Mex/Cajun place, just like we enjoyed when we were living on the Texas Gulf Coast. The salsa with chips was better than average and our entrees were great. I had the shredded beef Enchiladas De La Casa and my wife had the Char Grilled Mahi Mahi. Very good eating at a reasonable price. The next time we're in Atlanta we'll be back.

    My love had the fajitas. I thought they needed more seasoning... but she said she liked that they were not too salty.

    We gave Dos Bocas I'll try... Because it was across the way from the aquarium. Nice surroundings, but nothing overly memorable. The food was good. And the service was very good. We had a really really good waitress. Very friendly and kept the glasses full.

    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.

    We came here last night to celebrate my sister's birthday with a large group. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice kicked off on a really sour note. Right when we walked in, the staff complained to us that we hadn't called ahead to have a "smaller, special menu" crafted for a large party. To make matters worse, they loudly announced to the whole table right off rip that they wouldn't split checks separately--only an even split. It felt incredibly rude, lazy, and unwelcoming. The irony is that the large group size wasn't even an issue; we staggered our arrivals and the patio was completely empty. The kicker- my brother in law ended up paying the whole tab at the end anyways! so all of that initial laziness & nastiness for NOTHING! Throughout the night, the service felt incredibly rushed and stressed. While we were still eating our appetizers, the busser was aggressively trying to clear our plates because the mains were coming. Our server was very short with us the entire time, which was confusing because the restaurant didn't even have a stressful vibe. She recommended a main dish to me that I really didn't care for, though I will say the salsa was unique and probably the best part of the meal. Shoutout to the one staff member who was actually friendly, but overall, this is not the kind of place where you leave feeling like you had a nice restaurant experience- at least I personally didn't.. Too bad we didn't just go to C&S next door which we always love. Regardless tho, my sister had a blast, but that's entirely because she has a wonderful crew of great friends, not because of Casi Cielo.

    The first time I tried to come to El Rey Del Taco, I couldn't find a parking spot. I've been back…read morethree times since then, and I understand the hype. They have quickly become my favorite place to get Mexican food. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Buford Highway in a small shopping plaza. The lot is medium sized, but they are sharing it with a few other businesses, and depending on the night it could definitely be hard to find a spot so keep that in mind. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is decently sized with both booths and regular tables. There are beautiful paintings hung all over, and the decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a little part of Mexico. Atmosphere is super casual and comfortable. Food and drinks Now the menu here is massive. Take your time and prepare to be overwhelmed, because everything sounds amazing. Here's a breakdown of what we got each time. 1st visit - El Rey Del Taco Parrillada It's meant to be shared with two people, and comes with a pound of beef ribs, your choice of chicken or al pastor meat, six shrimp wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese and chorizo, plus tortillas and charro beans. It was just as delicious as it sounds. 2nd visit - Tacos The pastor con queso and the shrimp al pastor with cheese, onions, and al pastor sauce. You're welcome. 3rd visit - Fajitas Fajitas Texanas, with steak chicken and shrimp. There are 7 different combinations of sides that you can get. We got white rice, salad, and charro beans. This can also be shared, which my wife and I did. Speaking of the charro beans, they have the best beans I have ever had. For drinks I got the supreme regular mango margarita. My wife got strawberry. Both great. Service Food came out fast, but other than that the service was a little slow. Our waitress was nice, but it did seem that she forgot about us for a little while. The food was so good that I forgave it, plus at the end of the day I got everything I needed. Verdict If you're looking for amazing food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to get it. It just might end up being your favorite too! Until next time!
