    Outdoor patio-- to die for!!!
    Julia C.

    Wow! WOW! food is excellent, feels authentic Oaxacan and very well executed! It's a good value, and I'd assert that the most compelling reason to go might be to have an outdoor dinner with a group. The place is quiet and empty (for now), and makes excellent food! If you haven't discovered this hidden gem yet, you should go check it out.

    Cheese dip appetizer with fresh made tortillas

    My girlfriends and I were looking for some good Tex-Mex in Chamblee and Oaxaca was recommended to us. We braved a Georgia downpour and we found free parking and decided to sit on the restaurant's outdoor covered patio. The hostess and servers were really welcoming and our server made some great recommendations. I enjoyed the prime rib tacos(they were juicy and had a habanero sauce on the side). My friend got a shrimp fried taco and she said it was good. We look forward to trying more dishes soon.

    Chilaquiles

    I was so impressed walking in the restaurant! The vibes were giving all inclusive resort in Mexico. They have a beautiful covered outdoor patio and tons of seating inside. We came here for Saturday lunch, but found out they also offer brunch from opening to 4 pm. Service started off fine. We were greeted by our server and dropped off water, then we placed our drink orders. I got the cafe de olla and it was beautifully served with tons of sugar that I didn't need. My husband ordered a margarita that he enjoyed too. It did take awhile for his drink to come out since there's one person in charge of both coffee and bar, and more people were coming in. Our server disappeared for quite some time, so we couldn't place our order. When she finally came, we ordered guacamole served with totopos. For my meal, I ordered green chilaquiles with over hard eggs. To my surprise since it wasn't on the menu, she asked if I wanted steak or chicken and opted for chicken. Thank goodness we had the guacamole to tied us over because our meals took forever to come. We were probably waiting 20-30 mins. The guacamole was delicious though and loved the fresh herbs! When our food finally came, my dish was served with medium eggs, not over hard so we had to send that back to the kitchen. The chilaquiles were also drowned in sauce. I've never had anything like it, and tbh, it wasn't my favorite. They did bring me new eggs that were cooked enough but still wasn't cooked over hard. The people I was with enjoyed their dishes though. Our server did apologize for the wait and the error, but the error itself did bring down my experience of this place.

    Beautiful spot. Great vibe. Low lighting and music. We only sat at the bar for a round of drinks but I can't wait to go back for food and more drinks. Free parking in the attached garage.

    Última palabra. Served like this. Severely under poured
    Ashley M.

    Came in for a drink around lunch time on a Saturday. Ordered the ultima palabra. Received my drink with half of it missing (under poured) and the glass chipped. Mediocre service when I was the only person sitting at the bar. Oh and the pen to sign off on the bill didnt work. Not a good first impression.

    The cheese dip in the skillet.

    We went early on a Saturday after an art event. Sat at the bar with Davod. He was awesome. Knew everything about the menu and ingredients. My friends can't have gluten. The chips are the big ones you break and they were really good and the restaurant was not stingy with them like Bar Taco. The cheese dip with jalapeño's served in a skillet was amazing. You can chose between chips and. Or the tortillas. We got both. We also got a side of beans rice and mushrooms. We mixed these all up and put in the tortillas. I love mushrooms and these were great. The frozen margarita was good. Not amazing. My friends got the margarita on the rocks with the mezcal tequila. She loved it. It wasn't all ice like some bars serve up. Would go again. Also loved the atmosphere.

    Five stars across the board for this establishment. We had no idea this place existed in our backyard. This is now been added to our top five list of Mexican restaurants in Atlanta. Their service was phenomenal, super friendly. The food was exceptional, including the the margarita; highly recommend the house. When I wouldn't recommend are the churros, a little mediocre. Can't wait to come back again with friends!

    Same country, totally different flavor story. Oaxacan food is like Mexico's deep, smoky, soulful cousin -- and once you've tried it, there's no going back. I was recently invited to @oaxacaatl Oaxaca, Chamblee to try their new menu additions -- and it was nothing short of a flavor fiesta! Bringing the authentic taste of Oaxacan cuisine to Atlanta, they use a mix of locally grown and imported ingredients that make every dish burst with freshness and depth. We started with some stunning appetizers -- equal parts gorgeous and delicious -- and the outdoor seating made it all even more perfect. Sampled - 1- Elote OR Esquite 2- Herb Guacamole ( gorgeous presentation and tasted great) 3- Queso Fundido ( best I've tried ) 4- Ceviche de Tuna ( was really appreciated) Their cocktails deserve their own spotlight -- the Condesa and OG Margarita were instant favorites The Taco Portobello ( was a unique presentation) The Pollo A la Lena The Grilled Truffle Salmon was a big hit!! The Bonemarrow With so many bold and vibrant flavors across their entrees, Oaxaca Chamblee is definitely one of those spots you'll want to go back to again and again.

    So this is a really nice spot. If you wanted to have a little duck off and maybe have a small group or a date. It's also a pretty nice spot if you want to have a larger group that could sit outside. Not too large though. But this is a really good spot all together. It's Latin food so keep that in mind when you order, some of it may be topless other ones, maybe full entrees, but you can get the full Gambit of things that you're looking for here. When you come in, you'll be able to do free parking on the street. And there is a structure across the street as well. The bar area is really nice and everything is clean and the aesthetic looks very tropical. We came in for a drink because we had already eaten across the street and been meeting to try it. I had the OG margarita, which if your tequila fan, this will definitely be in your bag. They have a lot of mescal so if you want some smoke they can do that as well. They actually gave us a complimentary Margarita, but I'm not quite sure what it was necessarily, because it's not on the menu. But the fact that you gave me complimentary drinks was a big plus. The Bartender was super cool about it, he tried to explain it, but it overall a good experience.

    Corn off the cob

    There was some street construction the day we visited, so finding the right turn for the restaurant and parking garage was a bit tricky. Luckily, when you exit the parking garage, there are small signs that help guide you toward the hotel entrance. We had a reservation, but since it was early dinner time on a weekday, there were plenty of seats available both indoors and outdoors. The decor is really nice, stylish but comfortable. I do wish they had some backup seat cushions for customers who might need them since all the seats are hard, though that seems to be a common design choice in many restaurants nowadays. The servers were friendly, but they didn't seem too familiar with the menu. Once our food arrived, it was a little hard to get our server's attention, but any passing staff member was happy to help when we needed something. We ordered: - Ceviche de Camarón (shrimp ceviche): Fresh shrimp with a nicely balanced dressing, really good! - Esquite (corn off the cob with black garlic aioli, cotija cheese, and tajin): Flavorful and delicious. - Deep-Fried Shrimp Tacos (3 pcs): Super tasty and a favorite at our table. - Pollo a la Leña (half grilled chicken): We had the sauce on the side, but even after adding it, the chicken was still quite dry. The staff offered to add oil and regrill, but it didn't help much since the meat was already overcooked, the only disappointing dish of the night. We also had an octopus dish that I couldn't find on their online menu (forgot the name), but it was very good! It was my parents' anniversary, and they had a great time. We were too full for dessert, but we'll definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

    Mushroom (sautéed with onions)
    Leyang Z.

    A restaurant on my list for over a year. Finally I was able to give it a try during the fall break! And it did not let me down! Location is Chamblee dt, about 600m from Chamblee station, and it takes ~30min to get there by train. The restaurant had a huge (shaded) patio and a high-ceiling, spacious dining room. Unlike many Mexican restaurants in Atlanta, this one is decorated modernly and I like it. For food, I got the Gringuitas and side mushroom. While their Gringuitas had been triangle-shaped, what I ordered was more like folded taco -- or unclosed quesadilla. Anyway, it is a Mexican street food featuring meat and melted cheese. They put finely diced al pastor, oaxaca cheese and pineapples in it, and served with cilantro, onions, and avocado and tomatillo sauces. Everything was packed with flavor. I especially liked the al pastor -- it was rich, meaty, spicy, and the pineapple added just right amount of freshness and sweetness to it. The two dressings were also a bit spicy. The side mushroom dish was basically mushrooms sautéed with onions. A little bit too oilly to me, but luckily not very salty. The total price was $26. In short, you deserve trying this restaurant if you like Mexican food. Way better than many around Midtown, and meanwhile quite affordable. I may consider taking my friends there next time to try e.g. ceviche, bone marrow tacos, etc.

    Valentine's Day cocktail : condesa's kiss
    Kyja W.

    For Valentine's Day, my husband booked us a reservation here. However, he didn't realize he accidentally selected the wrong date (2/15)! He called and they said that while they were booked for indoor seating, their outdoor seating should have availability, and has heaters for comfort. We decided to give it a try! We approached the host stand and were promptly seated on the entrance porch area--a unique deviation to the norm of back porch seating at most restaurants. I actually like this! The ambiance was cozy and charming. Alexei, our server, was very kind and helpful. He showed us pictures of items we had questions about and was attentive throughout our meal. I started with a cocktail called "condesa" and my husband had "la frozen" (a frozen margarita). Mine had a cute little flower in it! We also shared the chips and salsa trio "salsas & totopos" as well as the "queso fundido." The salsas were nice! My favorite was the creamy green one. The queso was one of our favorite dishes of the evening! So melty and hot and tasty. The chips are rustic with a nice crunch, but you can also choose tortillas to be served with the queso fundido if you want. For other tapas and sides, we shared "chicharrón de pulpo" (octopus) which was very flavorful, as well as the "sautéed mushrooms." The mushrooms also had onions in them which were yummy! The dish over all could have used more spices, but it was okay! My husband got the "octopus tacos dorados" for his entrée. They were plated beautifully and were bursting with flavor! For my entrée, I got the "flor de calabaza quesadilla" (squash blossom quesadilla) and also asked for a side of Mexican rice and black beans (they can do half and half which was great). The "rice and beans" were good. My quesadilla also had that mushroom onion mix inside which helped add texture and flavor. If it wasn't such a unique dish, I'd say to maybe pass on it. Not a lot of flavor here, but visually interesting and fun to try something "different." The salsas served with it (two from the salsa trio we had for an appetizer) helped a lot. Despite being on the blander side, I still enjoyed it. I also got a secondary cocktail ("condesa's kiss") from the Valentine menu which was okay but I preferred the staple "condesa" from the main menu. Over all, a nice introduction to a different Mexican cuisine than what you're used to! I'd love to come back to try more items.

    Esquite: $8
    B. A. W.

    This was my first and only visit. The establishment feels very industrial: from the parking to the decor... nothing is cozy or comfortable. Mexican Coke old fashioned: good drink and I would recommend. Esquite: served in an oversized bowl so that portion seems small. The garlic aioli is overpowering making the first bite good but unable to finish as it became too much. Taco Portobello: another dish where the focus is on sauces and garnish. This could have been enjoyable with more mushrooms and less sweet sauces. I can't justify $7/taco.

    We dined at Casa Cielo, a neighborhood favorite that never disappoints. Their cocktail menu is…read moreoutstanding, especially the mezcal creations. 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.

    TLDR: one of my favorite ATL restaurants, lamb tuetano bone marrow tacos are a stand out. Remember…read moreto validate parking immediately. 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!
