Tuve una experiencia increíble en Santo Cielo. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el ambiente del restaurante fue muy agradable y acogedor. La comida estuvo deliciosa, cada plato tenía mucho sabor y se notaba la calidad de los ingredientes. Realmente disfrutamos todo lo que pedimos. Pero lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor fue el excelente servicio de nuestro mesero, Luis. Fue muy amable, atento y siempre estuvo pendiente de que todo estuviera perfecto en nuestra mesa. Sus recomendaciones fueron muy acertadas y nos hizo sentir muy bien atendidos durante toda la visita. Definitivamente es un lugar al que volvería y que recomiendo mucho. Si tienen la oportunidad, ¡por fa pidan que Luis los atienda! Su servicio realmente marca la diferencia. read more

I'm sorry but the food here is not good. They need new cooks. Like some have mentioned, food is very bland, and doesn't come out warm. I do love the presentation they put with some of the drinks (little notes, etc.) but that and the decor is the only reason I give even 3 stars. read more

Ambience was great. It has that party vibe. I went went friends to celebrate a co-worker's birthday and enjoyed the vibe and food.

You can tell they were very intentional about the Halloween atmosphere that they created! It was amazing! The tacos were good and the drink was pretty strong however, I did not like the elote, but it was overall a really good experience read more

We came here to celebrate my nephews 21st birthday! If you are looking for a fun and enthusiastic birthday celebration, this is the vibe! It's in a store front area, so there is ample parking at no cost. It is decorated very vibrant and bright. As soon as we walked in, the host greeted us, but our party was already sat, so I let her know and she pointed them out so we could walk over and sit. The server came right away and when I tell you she didn't miss a beat on our party of 18. I missed her name as she introduced herself to the table before I arrived. She brought waters to everyone at the table and took drink and appetizer orders from everyone. While taking those orders, she asked in advance if it would be one check or separate checks: it was very convenient to be able to break up the checks with the number of people in our party! I ordered a margarita flight and the server asked if I wanted the presentation or just the drinks brought out. I said let's see the presentation, I didn't catch it on video or I would have posted it, but if you go to their social media page, you can definitely see the presentation there. The margaritas are not as strong as I would like, but definitely a preference. After all drinks and appetizers came out, she took our order and I ordered the pozole verde. This portion was a big portion and well worth the price paid. It comes with lots of toppings and items to eat with the pozole on the side. It was bursting with flavor and I wanted to eat it all but I was so full. They do have music playing in the background which is great....it keeps the vibe happy and you want to dance in your seat. There is a lot on the menu that I want to try, so I will be back. Great value for great food and great ambiance! read more

First off, the food, drinks, ambiance and location is a 10/10, ok! It's right off the exit in a small plaza. Parking is plentiful. The decor was super festive and I can tell it's festive even without the Christmas vibe. No one had any complaints about their food. We were chowing down. It's spacious and clean. The servers were attentive and we didn't have a long wait to be seated or order or receive our food. Good times! This will be a new go-to spot for me. read more

Just a quick disclaimer--this review is based on delivery order. Now that we've got that out of the way... wow! My meal was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully packed with care. I ordered the Tex-Mex fajita and the ceviche. As a huge fan of ceviche, I have to say--this one did not miss! It was fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the homemade tortillas. This was my first time ordering from here, and I'm already looking forward to visiting in person to soak up the full ambiance. A great first impression! read more

Santo Cielo - Ceviche - DJs Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Some friends and I visited for dinner on Saturday night. Even though the parking lot was packed, inside there was plenty of space. We were seated quickly. The dining room is vibrant and fun. There is a full bar. The chairs are all bright colors and there are sparkling lights on the ceiling as well as murals on the walls. A couple of large screens were showing football. That night, there was also a DJ playing exciting music. For dinner I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and an agua fresca (cucumber and lime flavor). We also had chips and salsa, a couple of tacos, and the enchiladas mixtas (two mole and two verdes). All the food came out looking beautiful and it tasted great. I thought the quesadillas were fantastic and my friends were impressed with the taste and quality of the other dishes. Our criticisms were minor: the tacos were small and the grilled chicken a little dry. The dining room was periodically filled with staff wearing large masks, holding flashing lights and noisemakers. They delivered certain premium drinks to the tables and stood there until the guests drank them, chanting and singing. It was fun to watch, but could be unpleasant if one is expecting a quieter, more sedate experience. Service was a little slow. After we were seated it took a while for anyone to come back to get our order, which gave us plenty of time to read the menus. At the end, a similar situation as we waited for the bill. I would go again and I'd be happy to bring more friends to this place. read more

My friend recently moved to Chamblee and we have been checking out some places in the area! We found this place on Yelp and I didn't realize how awesome it would be! The decor is amazing. They're currently doing a The Grinch Who Stole Christmas theme and they went all out. The food was amazing too. I got a chicken flautas dish with consume. The chips and queso amazing and they have great sauces. Service was excellent. They were pretty busy on a Sunday at lunch time. I want to try some of their brunch dishes. read more

The ambience is nice, love the paintings on the wall. Service was good. My review is for the food. Having no gringo options for tacos made me sad. I don't do onions and cilantro. Cheese dip was ok and chips were acceptable. My friend liked her enchiladas with Mole but said it was quite spicy! Frozen margarita machine was not working. My quesadilla seemed like it barely saw the grill.... Most likely will not be back. read more

The first opening weekend was packed. [Which it has now been two weeks.] There was a DJ playing live music on site that made talking really difficult. Sadly, there were no specials. Some menu item prices were pricier than others imo. * Calamari frito: The calamari was actually flavorful. The breading was light with its seasoning coming through. The chipotle mayo sauce didn't have a strong flavor profile. We used the green sauce that they brought over instead. * Enchiladas mixtas Santo Cielo: They were good, but I didn't think there was anything special to them. The only thing I can really point out is the sauce having a unique spice to it. The steak pieces were so so. Nothing special to them either. * Alambre Santo Cielo: The hubs really enjoyed this. He said for the value and amount of food (steak, chorizo, chicken, and bacon) that it was good. I had a sampling, and it was indeed yummy. * Quesabirras (beef): These were super delicious! The crispness of the fried items. Yum. The consome was really good to dip the quesabirra in. Plus, it's one of those more unique items. * Brownie & vanilla ice cream: This was really good. The brownie was warm and soft and meshed so well with the cold vanilla ice ream. It was almost like chocolate lava cake tbh. * Churros con nieve: The vanilla ice cream helped added more texture and flavor to the churros. But the churros themselves weren't spectacular. For me, it was firmer than I'd like 'em to be. This place sits right about 3.5 stars for me, but considering some of my party's better food choices, up it goes to 4 stars. read more

We decided to try Santo Cielo. I was amazed when we walked in. The ceilings are so high and there is beautiful murals and art. Definitely makes you feel like you aren't in Embry Hills! It's pretty hip and fun. We were sad that chips and salsa is not complimentary. I think it's $6 on the menu. The prices seem high, but the flavor and the food was solid. The homemade tortillas are also very tasty. read more

It was dinner time and hubby wanted the sandwich shop 2-3 doors down from Santo Cielo (translated: Holy Heaven). He saw that the new Mexican restaurant was now open and we detoured, taking the long walk (another 20 or so steps) down the strip mall. First impression as we walked in: 'Wow, they really transformed the space! Nice!' We loved looking at all the small decor touches - mismatched chairs at each table, big bold colored paintings on the walls, cool lighting above, swanky couches as you enter. Service: The hostess greeted us with a big smile and said it would only be a minute, a 'manager' or lead server (?) came up and was helping the hostess identify where to seat us. They were preparing for a large group in the middle of the dining room, so I think this disrupted their normal flow a little. After we were sat, the table number/marker was switched a couple of times by the servers so I think they were really trying to make sure service to the other diners was not affected by the large party. Our server got hung up by the large group halfway through our meal, which stalled things for us quite a bit (understandable). The food runners and table cleaning staff picked up the slack though and made sure we were being taken care of --- which was awesome I might say!!! Food: Good. Not the best we have ever had, but good. I had the cheese enchiladas with lettuce, potatoes, and carrots on top (traditional style), hubby had ceviche and oysters. Presentation was excellent! They use so many different serving "vessels" it creates yet another intriguing thing to look at as you browse around the dining area (yes, I'm a people watcher). We ordered classic cocktails (nothing over the top) - skinny margaritas and a spicy mezcal margarita (which I have to say I will be back for; it had hibiscus YUM). Pricing: A but overpriced. You are definitely paying, at least partly, for the experience; which I think was worth it. Although, we will limit our visits to special occasions...more explanation to follow. Ambience: FUN! Notably, the bar staff and wait staff collectively deliver all "high priced" cocktails to each table ...flights of shots, flights of margaritas, some kind of 'fish bowl' like drink prepared table side with flare ... are all accompanied by a celebratory parade to the table. The staff wear masks and all carry flashing lights encircling the table and sing a song (I couldn't discern the lyrics). It so much fun to watch and almost tempted us to order one, but alas we stuck to our own drinks. All in all, we spent entirely too much money, but had an unexpectedly fun evening. We'll definitely keep Santo Cielo in mind if we are entertaining out of town guests or to go for a fun night of drinks. read more

Seating? Cushioned and festive. Lighting? Very festive and creative. Decor? Old school meets new school. Drinks? What I had (Bonita Y Mentirosa) was delicious and had me licking my lips as I sipped it. Perfectly balanced (for me) mix of tequila to mixer. The general vibe? Fun meets fancy. The staff? Friendly and helpful. Food? Flavorful and plentiful. I had the Bonita Y Mentirosa as an apéritif and was pleasantly surprised that it had a decent amount of alcohol to help stimulate my appetite. The somewhat sweet, sour, and tangy watermelon flavor really made for a nice little drink to sip on all throughout my meal. I had the El Cajoncito (Costilla De Res) - Beef ribs and onions with juicy, grilled chicken breast strips and shrimp. Served alongside a plate with refried beans and a sprinkle of mozzarella, shredded lettuce with fresh red onion slivers, a couple slices of tomato, and Mexican rice- and all this comes with a little drawer that holds 3 small tortillas (I went with flour). The 3 flour tortillas weren't even close to enough to use up all the chicken, shrimp, and fixings. The beef ribs were NOT meant to go on those tortillas though. They are a bit messy to eat (and I could've asked for more napkins- but they only brought me one) and are chewy in general. They pack a ton of flavor though. The salsa verde was the avocado type that's all about adding freshness and the red salsa was the type that's spicy-hot. Overall, the food was pretty good. The service was good. The drink was better than all of that. The concepts are cool and the vibe is "right on". The waitress did seem to forget about me after bringing my check and I was waiting for about 10 minutes for her to come back. However, when I got up to ask one of the hostesses to go run my card, a waiter noticed and quickly ran to the back to tell my waitress that I was looking for her. I think it'd be better if they didn't care who cleared which check, but then tips would have it be split and I get that's a whole thing. I understand their side of things and while she messed up, it's not earth-shattering and it didn't affect my star rating at all. I gave 4 stars because I've had the same kind of food- elsewhere. The drink I had stood out and the decor stood out. I think it'd be a fun place to take a date, family, or hang with friends. Give them a shot. Next time- I'm going for the tacos. read more

For this area this restaurant is upscale and it's great. Love the atmosphere and the vibe is like Mexican fiesta/party. Drinks are really good. Food is okay.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Santo Cielo. The lights, decorations, and murals were very beautiful at night. There also was a live DJ -- which we really enjoyed, as we were seated directly next to his booth. He made our night amazing as well and we got to see 2 birthdays being celebrated. The staff made it special. The food was great and I got the Birria Tacos, along with this great message on my drink. read more

I waited for months for this place to be open and was sadly disappointed. Pros The restaurant itself is very cute. The decor is beautiful lots of colors and picturesque like details. The drinks are good. Shot prices are a little high for a restaurant in my opinion. The quesabirra tacos were the best thing we tried. Cons A lot of the food we had was very bland and came out lukewarm. The queso only had two options one with chopped hotdogs and chorizo (never heard of the hotdogs in queso) and a regular one. The regular one had no flavor whatsoever literally just cheese. No jalapenos ,spices , nothing. The tacos dorado looked very good but also lacked flavor as far as the chicken inside. The consume was good just a little salty. Overall 5/10 The service was spotty , I'm just going to assume it's because they're new. Time management needs improvement. Hopefully as they grow things will get better but as of now I don't have to go back unless you go for the shots they bring out with music and lights. Which is very cute and fun if you're looking to go out and drink. With Mexican being one of my favorite cuisines I wouldn't come here for food unfortunately. Also on all of their social media it advertised complimentary appetizers all opening weekend. When we asked our server about it she told us it was only the first day of opening then the manger comes over and tells us it's only on a certain appetizer. Mind you the advertisement stated "house appetizers" also we only got $8 chips and queso lol. After going back and forth the manager offered to give us a discount but I declined because at that point I was just ready to go. Side note: there used to be an automatic 18% gratuity. read more

Ask for Georgia V. if you can--she was fantastic! Super attentive, kept our drinks topped off, and made sure we were happy with everything from start to finish. Now, full disclosure: the birthday routine (you know, the lights, singing, dancing) makes me want to run screaming into the parking lot and rip out the rest of my hair. But others seem to like it, so who am I to judge? On the flip side, the murals and artwork around the place are genuinely great--lots of charm and color. The staff got us seated right away, and the food came out fast after we ordered. These folks have their system down. I've been here a few times now, and it's consistently solid. The fish tacos? A personal favorite. My wife is a big fan of their margaritas. The mole has a deep, rich flavor with a sneaky kick--don't say I didn't warn you. The enchiladas verdes are a safe bet if you're with a group, and the elote is just perfect. read more

I came here with a friend maybe 4-weeks after they opened in October 2024. The server we had was not trained at all and had no idea about the menu. I ordered a Pinot Grigio, and my friend a Diet Coke, and she came back and said they didn't have either. She said they don't have a soda machine yet and have drinks in cans. My friend asked for several different sodas before landing on one that they did have- Coke Zero. I finally found a white wine that they had in stock as well. The wine came with a tiny wooden pin with a paper slogan which was a little silly IMO. I think they can get rid of those and save them for the more specialty drinks. There is nothing too unique or needing to be jazzed up with a glass of wine. Again, my opinion. We started with a salad and chicken soup. Server comes back and says they do not have salads or chicken soup. We were a little surprised because soup and salad is pretty standard for a restaurant, but whatever. I ordered the ceviche and friend ordered the salmon. The food was really good. Excellent. The flower on both plates was silly since it wasn't edible and just had to be thrown away, kind of a waste and didn't really add anything to the presentation. There were two people that worked there standing behind us talking the whole time while we waited for the server. The service wasn't very friendly. Our bill was over 100 dollars, which was way too much for what we received. The location is on the end of a depressing short strip of stores, and I didn't really find anything that exciting about the ambiance. I saw lots of mops, brooms, and cleaning supplies stuck in the corners. The saving grace is the food is good, but not sure this area is going to support a restaurant with such high prices given there is nowhere to go before or after without getting back on the interstate. read more

We attended this restaurant as a group. My sister and I ordered their tequila flight which included 8 shots of their house tequila and came with a show with lights and mask which was cute. Our issue was there was a group of 10+ for a birthday dinner and they just passed the shots out to the complete opposite side of the table without consulting the people who ordered the shots and we were never handed one from the shots we ordered by the staff. We brought this to their attention and they informed us we could not receive the shots we paid for on behalf of their mistake and the only thing they could do is ask the others they handed the shots to, to pay. Outside of how management handled this, the staff was great and the cocktails were good. They also played great music read more

Food is good. But slightly expensive. But the worst was the loud music. It was so loud that I couldn't hear what the person sitting next to me was saying. I saw a little child cup his ears.

Good food, service in a bold environment. This decorations are irrepressibly busy and bold. The ceilings have twinkle lights, everything is colorful with busy patterns. There's fun music but at a volume that doesn't shut down your conversation. The service is timely. I got my menus quickly and the waitress came by shortly. The food was about as quick yes I can imagine for freshly cooked tacos. I had birria without the cheese. The meat was less gamey than lamb typically is. Still, it was delicious, and very tender. It came with a dipping broth that was also quite tasty. The tacos have that nice balance of being spicy without leaving your mouth on fire. In a section of town that is littered with Mexican restaurants in Taco stands, this one is a little better than most. read more

Do not skip this place! We live nearby and were eager for the restaurant to open. Our first visit was around opening week. It was a party with DJ and fantastic food. The three of us ordered more food than we usually get. We wanted to try everything. We got Mole, tacos, guacamole, steak, and a couple margaritas each. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. You will need a couple minutes to take everything in when you walk in the door. The purple velvet couches at the entrance IS The Vibe. The whole dining room is decorated in exquisite detail. The staff aprons have images from loteria cards. I was sucked in to the colors, lights, and iconic murals. There are probably thousands of smartphones with videos of the decor all over ATL. You will probably pay twice as much here to get your Mexican fix than you would if you popped over to Monterey's on Buford Hwy (our favorite Mexican dive). But the menu, ambiance and service are so worth it. This is where you go when you are feeling a little more festive and want some really good food. This is where to bring your friends. Not gonna lie, the margaritas are pretty expensive, but they don't let you down. The Skinny margarita does not disappoint. They have a full bar and also serve tiki-style drinks in fun glasses. Get the margarita flight for some fun activities at your table. The wait staff are pretty busy as other reviewers mentioned. This really doesn't bother and rarely sours my experience. I felt our waiter was keen keeping our party going when we had their attention. We pretty much ordered everything she recommended. Tonight, a few weeks later, I picked up the Pollo Pozole Verde for home. It's a complete meal meant for two, but can easily feed four. Very flavorful and they didn't skimp on the toppings. The hominy was tender and the broth was thick and full of meat. We will definitely return for another meal soon. So much on the menu to taste. Go! Just to experience it once. You will be back, I promise. read more

So originally I was worried as I'm vegetarian (mostly vegan) and it looked from the menu like I was relegated to chips and salsa. However, I asked our server, Melina, if there were vegetarian options and she said they could make tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas vegetarian. I appreciated that she double checked that cheese was okay. The quesadilla and rice were both excellent! Melina was the best and served our large group in a friendly, efficient manner and without any issues. My suggestion is to offer plant-based cheese and add the vegetarian/vegan options to the menu. I know myself and many people I know who are on a plant-based diet as vegans or lactose- intolerant would be happy and more likely to dine at a restaurant knowing they too had options. Definitely will visit again! read more
