    Best nachos you'll ever have. They say they have the "best queso" and they weren't lying. The quesadilla was also amazing. The entree was so big we were able to share. The service was too notch, everyone was friendly and accommodating

    Margaritas

    I came here after a super hot day in Atlanta. I sat at the bar. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I ordered a margarita and it didn't disappoint. I also ordered fish tacos to eat. My order was taking some time. The bartender was very apologetic and offered me guacamole. That guac was so good! Omg! It was so fresh. I definitely plan to visit again

    The chips, chicken taco, and the drinks are really tasty. Also, the atmosphere with the employees makes this place a chill spot to have a good time with friends. I will say eat up because the drinks will have you wanting more and more.

    Minero burrito steak bowl was good. Catfish tacos were good but missing flavor and a really good sauce. My fiancé ordered a kids cheese and steak quesadilla. It came huge, after eating we asked the waiter if it was a kids quesadilla he said no we told him we ordered a kids quesadilla, my fiancé even pointed to it and he basically lied and said oh I only heard quesadilla and we don't serve kids menu to adults, however that was clearly not communicated at the time of the order and instead of apologizing he just made excuses. Atmosphere is nice but service could've better with better clear communication and properly handling mistakes that were made on their part

    Inside of the Ponce City Market, this restaurant with its killer margs, patio seating, and scrumptiously seasoned fare, is a jewel. The food items may seem few on the menu but the portions are so plentiful that even if there is only two amigas to share the Tres Amigos Sampler or you are the lone compadre at your table, this is the place you want to satiate your hunger. 3 Amigos Sampler: Their roja salsa is smoky, smooth, and so good-- the flavors burst onto your taste buds and hits every taste sensation. Pairs well with the seasoned chips. This salsa is great for you non-spice eaters or those prone to easy heartburn. The cheese is mildly spiced and held its liquid state very well even in the cooler weather of the outdoor patio. The guacamole is so fresh and creamy. And you really, cannot stop eating this, even after your food comes out. My friend had the burrito-- it's massive. It easily weighed 5 lbs and it had so much packed in-- she only ate 1/4th of it before packing it to go. I had the 5 cheese quesadilla and OMG it was like the best grilled cheese with steak. We both had XL frozen house margs which were so so so good. We had great service from a very attentive waiter. We were also able to spy on the food that was ordered by the table next to us. They ordered the wings and you get tableside shake&coat service. Amazing, the level of intentionality and detail that goes into your tasting experience. There was only one issue that I had from the whole experience and that was, unless you were directly in front of the host/hostess stand, they didn't "see" you. (The only reason we were far away from it is because we were standing near the "please wait to be seated" sign to allow passage for the ppl exiting the restaurant.) But this was easily remedied once we figured that out. And it's obvious from the rating above, that it didn't have much of an impact. If you are in the area, this is worth the parking fee.

    Quick Dinner for 2 We were headed to a show in the area and were looking for a good pre show dinner. We entered Ponce City Market, checked out a few of the food hall options and decided on Minero. Where was this Mexican place hiding? We had been to Ponce many times and I even surprised myself that I had never been here before, especially since I love Mexican food. We entered the restaurant and read the sign on the podium instructing us to wait to be seated. I could see the host walking towards us with menus in hand. He led us to a small table for two in the back. Our server quickly came by and dropped off water as we quickly reviewed the menu. There were plenty of good food and specialty drink options with about 10 different beer choices. When the server returned, we were ready to order because we were in a rush to eat before the show. Wifey and I both ordered the Pacifico beer and for food we both decided to go with a couple of tacos. Wifey ordered two Al Pastor pork tacos and I ordered one Ancho Chicken and one Al Pastor. The beers came out quickly and the food came out soon after, very fast. We started digging in, and I went for the pork taco first. It was delicious and tasted like the meat had been slow cooked for hours. The Ancho chicken was good too, with a little spicy kick, but the Al Pastor was my favorite of the two. One minor annoyance was there were a few gnats flying around, so we had to constantly cover our food and drinks. The table next to us also was waving and shooing the gnats. Overall, we really enjoyed our 1st trip to Minero. Our server was very attentive, and the atmosphere was nice with lively latin music playing in the background. We will definitely come back to try some other food and drink options.

    Al pastor burrito
    Wilson N.

    Definitely a vibes place with some outdoor covered seating as well as indoor seating. Chips/salsa/guac were just classic and tasted fresh. Food came out pretty quickly. I got the al pastor burrito and I think the construction of it was not the best. It had a cheese skirt on the outside of it, but didn't really crisp up or had much flavor. The al pastor that I'm used to comes off a trompo and crisped up. This was more like carnitas and stringy and kinda dry. Most of the guac was at one end of the burrito so one half was dry and the other half was full of guac. Didn't have much flavor but was a huge burrito. The quesadilla or the tacos might have been a better choice here

    So we stumbling in here because we were looking for some tacos and some margaritas. It was a pretty cool vibe. They have an indoor and an outdoor situation so you can actually catch a breeze on a nice day or stay in and sit at the bar or any of the other tables as well. I had a margarita and a couple of tacos. The tacos are pretty good, they have a couple of sauces on the table for you to try. Standard and typical green hot sauce and red hot sauce. I tried the shrimp, the pastor, and carne asada. All the tacos are good. Nothing out of the box, it was typical street taco size but they were still pretty good.

    I love Minero! I've been here a couple times and each time the food and service is great. I love that you can choose to eat inside or outside in their little patio and the food comes out quick. During this visit I had the elote, crispy shrimp tacos, and a house margarita. This is one of my favorite places to recommend for people in Atlanta. In my photo, the taco was so good I forgot that the phone eats first lol

    Matthew H.

    I DREAM about the elote everyday, I swear it's the best i've ever eaten. I also appreciated that some of their tables have purse hooks! I will definitely be visiting next time I'm in the area.

    Minero at Ponce City Market did not disappoint! We scored a beautiful day in Atlanta, and outdoor seating was the goal... it was perfect for people-watching (my favorite activity). The service was excellent, attentive without hovering, and our water glasses stayed full (a small thing, but it matters!). I started with the drink of the day: a spicy margarita that hit all the right notes. So good, I had to get another. (Yes, I was day drinking. No judgment!) For lunch, I went with the elote and three tacos: two catfish and one steak. The catfish tacos were flavorful with a great crunch.. my only wish was for just a bit more sauce. The steak taco? Absolute heaven. And the elote? Creamy, cheesy, and grilled to perfection. Minero gave everything it needed to give. I'll definitely be back.

    My daughter and I have dined here several times so we brought my sister to indulge as well. As usual, the service was great and the food was even better! We like to sit outside to enjoy the sunny weather. The inside is nice and clean as well. We'll always dine here while shopping at Ponce!

    Fried Catfish Taco and Taco Al Pastor Taco with a side of guac
    Megan B.

    I forget sometimes that Ponce City Market has some solid food options. I was in an incredibly indecisive mood and Minero drew me in. Can you ever go wrong with tacos? I think not. I'm not sure what made me happier, the cocktail, the guac, or the stellar tortillas, but my tastebuds were doing a dance. The menu says tortillas are handmade fresh daily and I believe it! Not only were they delicious, but they did not crack and fall apart, which made me incredibly happy. I knew it was going to be a great meal when I took my first sip of the Piña Quemada cocktail that my server suggested. Perfection. On first sip, it reminded me of one of my favorite cocktails, the Pain Killer. Perhaps it was the charred pineapple juice. It's the type of cocktail you could put in a 32oz cup and sip on. You wouldn't remember the night, but you would be happy. I really wanted to try some of the other cocktails on the menu because they looked unique, but I decided to wait for my next visit. My tacos were really solid. I had the fried catfish and al pastor pork. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and I loved the green tomato tartar. Chef's kiss! I appreciated the option to add a small side of guac that was fresh, not the puréed kind. There is ample seating both inside and out. As a vertically challenged person, I love the lower seating options. The staff was friendly and attentive and I enjoyed the music selection. What a great first visit!

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

    I was recommended The Local for great chicken wings in Atlanta, but I never expected how popular…read moreand crowded it was. We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

They have free valet parking in the back and a handicap space right near the door in the back. The only downside is they only do one check; however, I feel like many places do this now especially when you have a large party so we made it work. I would definitely not use that as a reason not to come back. The overall experience was fantastic.
