    Wow is the only word I can use to start this review! My partner found this spot while we were visiting as we love trying plant based meals in new cities. Visiting from Miami, the Latin food standard is high and this was perfection. The restaurant has great decor, staff is really friendly, and the menu is super ample and diverse. We ordered the take on ham croquetas and they were so delicious. Melt in your mouth, explosion of flavor delicious. We also ordered their salad which came with a vegan feta and that was so good and fresh. For the entree we shared the cubarrito and it was delicious. Really generous portion. I will say food is a little pricey but worth the flavor and ambiance. Unfortunately we didn't get to try dessert as the kitchen closed but it seemed delicious. Would definitely return to La Semilla when ATL.

    La Semilla is a chic, pan-Latin vegan spot. The menu emphasizes replicating non-vegan flavors and taste profiles more than it leans in to offerings that are already vegetable forward. For example, guacamole is conspicuously absent from the menu. In its place, you'll find a creamy (still vegan) Queso Blanco. That's a bold choice, but the dupe delivers. My favorite taste dupe, however, is the crunch wrap. It is spot on. It tastes identical to the much more famous, much less vegan version.

    Atlanta is so blessed to have a restaurant like this in its ranks now. If I could give more than 5 stars on this app, I'd be lighting it up! I went on a holiday, which was super busy, but even so, service was prompt and attentive. I ordered a pasaflora to drink, which had a beautiful flower in it, queso blanco with chips, al pastor mushroom tacos, chochoyotes, and flan for dessert. Every single dish was inspired, layered with flavor, creative, and truly unique. The presentation was also lovely and each bite felt thoughtful and well-executed. I would order everything a million times over! One thing that especially stood out was the flan's texture, which was silky, delicate, and perfectly balanced. I was also pleasantly surprised to see fried green tomatoes on the menu. It felt like such a special nod to the restaurant's Southern location, blending regional influence in a really cool way. The owner was super nice, which made the experience even better. The decor is gorgeous and so inviting, with intimate, cozy lighting. The whole space feels clean, artistic, and thoughtfully designed. This is an amazing date-night spot that I truly hope sticks around for a long, loooong time. Everything about the atmosphere and experience makes it perfect for a special evening out. I'm already planning to go back and explore more of the menu, but based on my first visit alone, I might even dare to say this is the best vegan restaurant in Atlanta. The jury's still out, but I'm more than happy to keep doing the research to confirm!! lol Last thing I'll say is that I was so grateful not to have to wade through a bunch of non-vegan menu options to figure I it what I could actually order. I also don't have to wonder if my food was being cooked next to a slab of dead animal, which is not the case most places I go. So, thank you for being ALL vegan. The food is so good that there is no chance a non-vegan will feel they've missed out on meat anyway. Logistical stuff: I saw a little bit of street parking, but not a ton. Parking in the deck is definitely the easiest option. You could theoretically bike/skate the Beltline and just walk a couple of blocks to get there. The space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend making a reservation to be safe if you're visiting on a Friday/Saturday night.

    Food was excellent, well done. Came in at 6:30, no reservation, seated right away. Street parking was okay. Nothing we ordered missed the mark-definitely want to go back and try other offerings!

    We enjoyed sitting at the bar for a light Friday dinner. Ambience is fun and tropicalish. Bartender was very pleasant and explained the various menu items along with his recommendations. Personally, the menu is fairly limited in scope with the same ingredients presented in different dishes. Not very healthy either with plenty of fried options. Despite the plant based hoopla, it does not come close to similar concepts. Meh

    The vibe

    This place is so cuteeeee, it was my first time here and I didn't get to try everything but I loved the yuca fries, they're so gooooood and very shareable. Owen was my server and he was a delight, everyone here was so nice! I also got the crunch wrap and I felt like it needed a little more seitan beef, but overall nice choice. The mojito was okay, in my opinion it was missing the sugar like in a traditional mojito not sure if it had any. Overall a great experience and I will come back again to try other dishes!

    Cubarrito
    Anna M.

    We found La Semilla on google maps as a highly rated dinner place, and we decided to try it out. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival, and our server brought us water almost immediately as well. We put in our orders quickly since they were closing earlier than expected-- the kitchen's HVAC system was down, but that didn't stop them from caring for us! :) We also got the food in a seemingly record breaking time. The beans were a tiny bit too spicy for me, although I'm sensitive to spice. My boyfriend enjoyed them very much. The lemon that came with the beans was so incredibly juicy?! It was so fresh. My Crunch Wrap's flavor was awesome, and the sauces were fantastic (although be aware for those with nut allergies, there are cashews in a lot of the sauces). I put some more chips in the crunch wrap for an extra crunch. The Cubarrito was . I wish there was a little more pico in it though. The Cubarrito was my personal highlight of the evening!! The texture... the flavor... all of it really hit the spot. Overall, this was a great find. I'm personally always open to trying something new. I have never been opposed to trying vegan food--I hope those who are reluctant to try it, give this spot a chance!

    Don't know why it took me this long to try this place but it was so worth the wait! This restaurant is all plant-based, but their cocktails are also top notch. I did make a reservation and would recommend. We got there 15 mins early but were seated right away. We ordered their agua Fresca of the day (peach) and juarez (pretty much like an old fashioned with mezcal). For food, we ordered the fried mushrooms (my personal fave - the cracked black pepper elevated this dish for me), Crunchwrap (their most popular food item and tasted just like the real thing), cubano (another one of my faves, the pickles were so good and the melted cheese!!!) and chochoyote (very very rich dish but super comforting). Overall, we loved everything we had. Service was good. We were so full by the end of our meal and skipped dessert. We will definitely come back for more! They do validate 2 hour parking at the Modera parking deck, which is a plus!

    Laurie P.

    Truly one of the best vegan/food experiences I've ever had. 1000/10 to be frank. The service was impeccable from arrival to departure. They truly care about your interests and how your experience is going throughout the entire experience. The decor and vibe is beautiful and very picture perfect. Would highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans. We ordered the following: Beach Bunny cocktail Flora mocktail Sikil Pak - spicy salsa Fried Green Tomatoes - a must! Delicious, crunchy, refreshing, saucy, etc. Mantequilla beans - very well seasoned & cooked Carne asada tacos - amazing taste Al pastor tacos - different and juicy Peach empanada w/ ice cream - the most perfect dessert

    Queso blanco, carne asada tacos, Cubano

    Love the vibe in here, the servers were great and had recommendations on the menu. I agree with previous reviews that the menu is limited, but I don't think a limited menu is necessarily a bad thing (generally means a restaurant is focusing on doing a few things very well). I went to La Semilla with a friend who is not vegan and she enjoyed her meal as well.

    Croquetas and yuca
    Mia C.

    Omg! Just what I was looking for while visiting Atlanta . The best plant based Latin food ever. We had croquetas that were smoky and delicious, fried yuca and a Crunchwrap. We also had an apple empanada with ice cream and an agua Fresca which was apple cinnamon for the fall. The atmosphere was beautiful. Really cool place. Our server was great! She made really good suggestions for our meals.

    Fried green tomatoes
    Sabrina C.

    I've visited La Semilla twice - once for a sit down meal and again for dinner at the bar. My favorite is the Cuban but we ordered 3 - 4 other items, including the taco crunch, shrooms and grits + plantain & dessert empanada. Overall, the food is great. The ambiance is nice and the location is convenient.

    Carne asada tacos
    Helen K.

    I drove in traffic for over 1 hour to dine here so I had high hopes. We ordered the queso blanco which came with chips, the carne asada tacos and the crunch wrap. Everything was delicious although the carne asada tacos were excessively greasy and the portions are on the smaller side. Unfortunately it seemed as if the bartender was having an off night because I had to send my mojito back. My partner and I were a but surprised by the small business fee that was added to our bill. This was our first time seeing this in Atlanta.

After a previous food event didn't go as planned, I finally decided to give them a shot since they were close by. Inside: The restaurant is cozy inside, though seating is a bit tight. But don't worry, they've got tons of space on the porch! I really enjoyed the laid back vibe, perfect for catching up with friends and family. Parking: You can park at the restaurant, as there's a parking lot. Just a heads-up, finding parking may be a bit tricky during busy times. We almost didn't get in, but luckily, someone was leaving after we circled around. Service: Pricing: The pricing was great, and my meal only cost $11, which I thought was a great value for the amount of food received. Food/Drinks: The menu might not be huge, but I appreciate how straightforward it is. It's a chicken shop, and who doesn't love chicken? I opted for the 1/4 Bird Meal (white meat), which included tortillas, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and both red and green salsa. Believe me, the portion size is generous! I only got the quarter bird, and it was more than enough. The food arrived hot and fresh. The chicken itself was a bit fresh, with most of the flavor concentrated on the skin. However, if you enjoy everything together with the salsa, pico, and rice, it all balances out nicely. I didn't get a drink at first, but I saw everyone ordering the frozen margaritas. I'm not a fan of frozen margaritas, but with how much they were getting, I had to see what the hype was about. So, I ordered the margarita with Jamaica. As I mentioned, I'm not a fan of frozen drinks, but after tasting it, I could see why it was so popular! Plus, it was definitely on the strong side, so one was more than enough for me lol. I cannot conclude this review without mentioning the music. The playlist was a vibe from the time I arrived to the time I left (Think 80s r&b!) I honestly didn't want to leave off the music alone. It added so much to the ambience. If you haven't tried Pollo Primo, it's a must! If I lived closer, let's just say it would probably be one of my most frequent restaurants. Looking forward to going back!

This one is new and it's off the belt line and it's in a really good spot though. That's the selling point of it all. As you know if you're coming on the Beltline, you gotta worry about parking so you can kinda get it how you like it. There are plenty of spots to go to if you want to go ahead and do a lot or find some neighborhood parking . With this new Eclipse you can sit inside and check out the views or you can sit outside and just sit under the fans and people-watch. That could probably be the best option just because you're right on the belt line so you get a good view of everything but if it's too hot then that's going to be an issue lol . We just went for drinks just to stop off before we went elsewhere along the Beltline because everything is very walkable. It's easy to go ahead and duck in and off of the Beltline so this will be a good spot but I've been to eclipse plenty of times elsewhere and I know that the food is solid no matter what you're doing. I can't say that I would go back there to eat because I've already eaten there and I know what I like and I know what to expect but if you haven't been the food is actually really good. I started off with a spicy margarita. It got me where I needed to be. That's the important part LOL. Service was really good. It was really crowded when we went and we were just trying to catch a vibe before we started off the Beltline. They made a space for us at the sitting area, right where the door was, so we can actually be indoors and still see outdoors. That was really nice of them. Service was great. Can't complain about that. This looks like a smaller one but at the same time it's still built into the belt line so it actually wins because of location. Other ones have larger dance floors that you can dance at, I guess, so it's a different story. This one still has its own charm. Overall it is what you expect from an eclipse so it's not like I'm telling you anything that you don't know because I'm assuming you've been to at least one of them before. This one is the newest one and it is in a perfect area so if you are ducking in and off of the belt line, this would be a good spot to go ahead and grab some papas bravas and a margarita.

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.
