    Cocktail and Mexican coke. Great lighting

    This was my third visit here and I have raved about my two past lunch experiences. This time I struggled with this rating. If the owner would have given us a credit and seem to truly care and want to make right I would have rated a 2. This time we shared steak fajitas on one side and chicken on the other. The fajita delivery is hot and we were warned but placement was half off the table. The plating is potentially dangerous as the skillet and wood underneath appear as one because they are both black and a strange rectangular design with barely any wood exposed. My brother in law attempted to nudge the fajitas back on the table and burned his finger. I mentioned to the server he had burned his finger and asked for a bandage or burn cream and he never came back. I believe he was nervous and perhaps unsure what to do. Our sides to fajitas were never delivered. We often had no drinks. This was a packed house on Saturday evening so it happens. Steak fajitas were by far the worst thing I've had here. The birria tacos are fantastic. All lunch items have been lovely. Enchiladas great but fajitas were chewy, poor texture and zero flavor. My mother in law was perplexed that no cheese was offered for fajitas but I didn't see that as odd actually. The cheese dip was good had a great texture and flavor. The owner did come over and apologize about the fact that outer tortillas arrived 5 minutes after fajitas and that our sides never arrived. He removed the sides from our bill. I mentioned the burn and he seemed concerned but again nothing happened. We didn't push. Owner seemed really great and honestly I hope this was a fluke.

    I believe I have eaten the best carnitas outside Guadalajara MX. The pork was so flavorful and moist. The refried beans were hearty and not like the runny beans served at so many other Mexican restaurants. They were absolutely the best refried beans I have eaten in a LONG time. Keep in mind that this place is definitely upscale. Not the typical mx restaurant. The grouper tacos were excellent. Fresh tasting, not fishy at all. The person who ate them complained about how good they were because he over ate... We just laughed. "No one made you eat everything." The portions of my carnitas were very generous and I was able to take half of them home to enjoy the next day. Both diners who had the Volcanes raved about the delicious food. One person had avocado slices while the second had refried beans. Note, the stuffed jalapeno peppers will light your mouth on fire. Loved them but for those not into heat, beware. OMG the bread pudding was to die for. Giant serving and amazing. To top this off we had excellent service. The place was not very noisy, another plus.

    My friend Kike from Queretero recently visited and ate here and highly recommended it so we came in for the first time tonight. All I can say is WOW! Starting with the salsa and chips all the way to dessert, everything is made IN HOUSE and fresh. We started with the cheese dip and it was great! The quality of ingredients is so obvious. I had the ribeye volcanes with street corn. My wife had the street tacos. Everything was better than expected! The steak was the most tender I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. We met the owner Ramone and he was super kind and helpful for our first visit. We came on a Friday night and they even had live music that was excellent! I highly recommend La Cantina! We will be back soon and often!

    Every time we go to La Cantina the service is impeccable. Everyone is always smiling and having a great time. The food is authentic and it tastes as good as it looks. The attention to detail is awesome. Throw in a drink and live music and have a fiesta.

    We visited La Cantina on Main recently and, as usual, the food was very good! Our server, Kaleigh (spelled KALEIGH), was friendly and attentive, and overall, the service was solid. I ordered one of their cocktail specials -- the Pink Pony Club. While it was tasty, it came in an extremely small cocktail glass and was $12. I only got about five or six sips out of it, and for that price, I would have expected a taller glass or at least more volume. I get that part of the price may be for the atmosphere, but it still felt a little overpriced. La Cantina has definitely become more about the "scene" lately. When it first opened, it felt more warm and welcoming. We used to really appreciate when the owners or managers would check in with each table -- it made the experience feel more personal. This time, around 5 PM on a Saturday, it felt like the focus was more on taking videos of the bartenders making drinks than connecting with guests. While that's fine, we did miss the hospitality and charm that used to set this place apart. That said, we still enjoy coming here for special occasions. The food isn't quite as amazing as it was in the beginning, but it's still really good, and the staff are always friendly. Just be prepared for a bit of a trendy vibe -- and some higher prices to go with it.

    Excelent place!! Real Mexican food, cooked with high quality ingredients, like a Mexican I can tell you this is real Mexican, no Tex Mex food, the price is fair because like I said they have a good ingredients I really recommend the place!

    Birria Tacos. Yum!!!
    Jeff S.

    First time at the new La Cantina on Main. Let's start with the space: Super well done! The dining room feels fresh, airy and light. Awesome blend of old and new inside. Very inviting and feels lively. Now the food: we had the birria tacos and chipotle cauliflower. A side of esquites (Mexican street corn). Thr Birria tacos were awesome. The consumé was tasty. The street corn side was delish. Kitchen timing was on point and service was stellar. Great formula for success here. Great vibe, great service and great food. Cannot wait to come back. Well done folks!

    The interior of the place was great. I ordered the Chorizo tacos and I would say they were a bit salty. Everything else was great about the place. Good restaurant.

    Sizzling Chicken fajitas with sides of rice and black beans, and a Strawberry Margarita

    Food was fresh and authentic. A wide ranging menu that pleased everyone, and all four in our party were very happy with their choices. Frozen Texas Margaritas were well made and generous. Our waitress, Audrey, was very attentive and efficient and was also very friendly and welcoming. Loved the private and comfy booths. It was our first time and we already know we will be back soon!

    Cheese dip with jalapeños, rice, beans, tacos were all INCREDIBLE!!!

    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?

Our party arrived early and he didn't hesitate to look for seating. We landed a seat in the loft. Yayyyy. He later came by to check on us. Corey was hands down the best waiter he was extremely attentive, the food was served quickly. Shout out to the cook and the bar tender (Sharhara, I think )as well!!! Everything was delicious, the drinks ,appetizers , the meals, and the dessert. The manager,Tatum, came up to check on us and this sealed the deal to the best experience ever. The entire staff was just amazing. The ambiance was great, as I stated we landed in the loft overlooking the restaurant. I've been here more times than I can count and I'd never had the opportunity to sit up there. I choose a good spot to celebrate my birthday.

Its characterized by its opulent atmosphere that sets the mood for an enchanting night. The entire experience from the service to the delectable dishes are very well executed. One of the things that I enjoyed the most was the eye for detail. From the host stand to the dining room, nothing was out place and you could see the contemporary blends of Mexican Artesanía. Although I enjoyed every dish my favorite bites where the steak tartar & the carne asada that is paired with bone marrow. The dishes are cleverly crafted, it's not hard to tell that a lot of work was put into curating the menu. The drinks are just as as delectable. Their mixologist deserves a gold star! To my enjoyment they even provided me with a stand for my purse which was very much appreciated. The service was flawless! As for the rooftop, it's absolutely captivating with a skyline view of the city. They hold multiple events throughout the month that are both vivacious and festive with a striking assembly of beautiful people. Perfect to meet hot new singles in the city! Highly recommend for a girls night out. There are many photo worthy spots throughout the restaurant that would be perfect for photographs to fit your social media needs or just a great pic to commemorate a bewitching evening. They offer complimentary parking which is always a plus not to have that extra cost to my dining experience. Dress code is high end, polished attire. I definitely plan on coming back for both the dining experience and the rooftop parties, as I have a couple cocktail dresses that I'm dying to wear.

I decided to try Lunch Special #6, which featured a burrito stuffed with ground beef, topped with salsa ranchero, and accompanied by rice and refried beans. My buddy opted for #10, the Gioso 3-way, which included grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp sautéed in their homemade spicy sauce, also served with rice, refried beans, and a choice of tortillas. From the very first bite of my burrito, I was pleasantly surprised--it was absolutely delicious! As a burrito enthusiast, I can confidently say it was the best-tasting burrito I've ever had, with a flavor profile unlike any I've experienced before. My buddy shared similar sentiments about the grilled meats on his plate. Curious about the sauce, we asked our server, who informed us it's a signature sauce they developed for all their meats. The rice and refried beans were perfect. The chips and salsa were also excellent. In summary, our visit to Hidalgo's Mexican Grill turned out to be one of the best lunches we've had.
