Alma Cocina - Atlanta

My must go place I need to always go to every time I visit Atlanta! Their ambiance is amazing to either go by yourself or with a group of friends or colleagues. Both their indoor or outdoor spaces are beautifully decorated and simply beautiful to unwind after a long day. The service is great as well, always happy to share recommendations and clarify any menu options. And their food is delicious!! I love their fried avocado tacos!!! They are to die for as well as their esquites! So so good and can't recommend enough!

I was able to squeeze in here for a late dinner around 9 pm with no wait on a Friday. It was quite full so maybe we got lucky. I liked the vibe and the meal wasn't bad. We did a bunch of the small plates and cocktails. Food wise, nothing was really memorable but everything tasted fresh and not heavy, a nice change of pace from the yummy but gut-busting southern food we had been eating. I think it's one of the better/only options on that hotel block where I stayed. The payment situation was a turnoff. The server offered boxes for the leftover food, and didn't ask if we wanted the check. She brought the boxes and never came with a check. There was a QR code on the table that said Pay in seconds, so we assumed it was the only way to pay. So I did that - and the system charges a checkout fee to use it! The system also calculates tip to include the taxes. As we left, we saw other tables that had bill folders so digital checkout was optional after all.

I went in with great expectations, having read the reviews here. It ended up being a fine-dine-esque place with mediocre food. Got the:Manchego Cheese Croquettes : 3/5 (portion size can be a lot better). The description mentioned jalapeno chutney, but could not taste it at all. The cilantro-garlic mayo was weak on flavors. The manchego cheese itself was pretty good. Fried avocado tacos: 3/5 While the fried avocado itself was pretty good, the taco lacked flavor overall. The sauce and salsa did not help. It was served with a side of beans (not well-cooked) and rice (absolutely no flavor whatsoever). Vegetarian paella: 1/5The artichokes were the only saving grace. No flavors whatsoever. The saffron in the rice tasted somewhat raw. Agua fresca: their special was blueberry-hibiscus lemonade. The server was nice enough to let us taste it before we could order it. The drink itself was a tad too sweet for me. 3/5Great ambience and service. Good presentation. Abysmal food.

Came in randomly on a Friday afternoon for lunch after leaving aquarium. The service was pretty good, the restaurant is a shared space with the Ritz Carlton or atleast the Atrium is shared. The food was kind of underwhelming and left something to be desired. But the vibes were chill and the food and service were good enough that I would come back and try a different dish. I had the carnita tacos and my daughter had the pollo tacos. We shared the fried cheese.

We loved this place! The building is beautiful, we called ahead to make sure we would still be seated as it was about 30 minutes before closing and they were nice enough to take us. The food was amazing! The ranchero sauce was so good, plantains were delicious! Everything tasted so good and the staff was really great with us! A gem

We had a large team event here and were able to try a bunch of appetizers, have a plated dinner and also enjoy a dessert. The appetizers were delicious but it take a long time for them to come out. Our servers were fantastic though and kept us up to date on delays and such. The overall ambiance was nice but also not anything exceptional. I had the trout for dinner and it was very over cooked but also had taken so long to come out that I wasn't hungry anymore. The green beans paired with it on the other hand were fantastic. Overall, this was a good experience and I'd be up for visiting again!

While the food was good everything was so expensive. It was 20 dollars for three scallops which was kinda crazy. The inside decor was really cute. Our server was nice but I wish he would have said that the dish was so small so I could have changed my order or added something instead of waiting for my food to get three little scallops.

We went here for drinks and light bites, and Alma Cocina delivered.A bougie part of a Ritz-esque hotel, Alma serves up modern Mexican fare and fantastic drinks and apps (among other things, but I'm speaking from experience).We ordered the Naranjarita (tequila, blood orange, citrus) and sangria, both of which were excellent, and some guacamole. Nothing better than gossip, guac, and fruity drinks, I say.

Really happening place for happy hour - the drinks are good and the happy hour foods are delicious! I really liked that they have QR codes so you can pay whenever. The vibe is different depending on if you're sitting in the bar area or the hotel area. Service was good too although it seems like only certain areas of the restaurant are available for the happy hour menu sometimes (it was fine that night I went but the waitress was very confused because usually it's only in the bar part)

I went here for lunch with coworkers and we left incredibly stuffed! We made a reservation and with that reservation, we were instantly seated. After being seated, our waiter attended to us, giving us recommendations and providing great conversation. I wish I could remember his name!As for the food, we had chips and salsa, empanadas and I had a torta. All of this was delicious! Oh and how can I forget the dessert the waiter recommended and it was heavenly! The food came out timely and was never a disappointment except I was too sleepy to continue working but I did. As for parking, I was already downtown and parked in a nearby garage. If you are coming just for this restaurant, garage or street parking is your best bet. Or if you take Marta, the Peachtree station is right there! Lastly, the restaurant was busy with a work atmosphere as a lot of people downtown were in there for lunch during the work day. I need to go back more often!
