    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.

    Decided to try this place because it is attached to the hotel we were staying for the night. The place is loud and not very well kept. There was food on the floor that should have been swept up. I was excited to see a shrimp po'boy on the menu. I ordered the po'boy and my husband ordered the catfish and shrimp. The waitress was nice and attentive. She did sit down and talk to us awhile about the attitude of teenagers these days. Food came out and it looked delicious. However, the po'boy was mediocre. The shrimp didn't have much flavor. The fries were thin but a little overcooked. My husband really enjoyed his catfish but again his shrimp was flavorless. Don't think I can recommend this place when there are so many other better places right around the corner.

    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.

    This place is mid, low service, and pricy for minimal flavor food. I do not recommend anyone come here. Although it did have a cool vibe.

We tried the La Piñata and the Smokey Old Fashioned, which arrived in a dramatic smoke dome--such a fun presentation. For our first bites, we ordered the Tostadas: handmade corn tostadas served with both red and green avocado sauces. They were fresh, vibrant, and a perfect start to the meal. Our main courses were equally impressive. The Short Rib with Mole Amarillo came with pickled habanero onions, rice, and plantains--rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the Arrachera, an outside skirt steak served with sautéed onions, chimichurri, rustic potatoes, and a bouquet salad. Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted exceptional. Our server, Dalia, made the experience even better. She was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive--always appearing at just the right moment, whether to refill our water or guide us through the menu. Overall, it was another amazing visit. We go there often and have never been disappointed.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

The food is consistently good, portions are generous, and a cold Modelo goes perfectly with the meal. It can definitely get crowded, so I'd go expecting a wait during peak times.

My only complaint is that when you order takeout in person, they add a 15% takeout fee.

I don't really see what additional cost justifies that fee. The food is great, but the takeout fee makes ordering from here less appealing. Ambience is good.
