BLU Cantina

Date: 9/2024Service: 5/5Service in my opinion has always been good to me! Really love the bartenders, the hookah guy, and management.Prices: 4.5/5The tequila flight for $20 is a deal.Food prices aren't amazing at regular price, but happy hour does have a couple of deals.Ambiance: 5/5Whether the DJ is playing extra loud music or the game is playing, I enjoy all vibes at all times. I find myself around positive and talkative people, sharing positive experiences and celebrating things like birthdays, happy hour, and girls night out in this establishment. I love when they have Security for the later nights, it makes me feel safe.Drink Taste/Textures: 5/5 I definitely have much more to drink than to eat. And I've never had a huge issue, although my partner has reported being sick after taking the tequila flight.Food Taste: 2/5This is not a place where I will eat on purpose. Tried the turkey tacos and would not even feed them to my pet. Didn't enjoy the taco salad, but I have no interest in eating here, hit or miss for me.Hookah Taste: HIGHLY consistent and well. Prices are not worth it besides happy hour, I believe the hookah is like $45 any other time.Value: 10/5You can't really be a fun and relaxed vibe with affordable options and just good energy all aroundTLDR: I've been here three times in as many weeks and safely call this place a neighborhood spot. The last time I was here was on a Monday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had games out like Uno tic-tac-toe, and connect four. No DJ and a quieter night, but the game was playing. I've also been here on several themed nights and have had nothing but good times.

Came in and sat and the bar... the ladies were exceptional. From previous reviews I was expecting the typical blk experience but it was actually nice and friendly! I WAS WELCOMED AT THE DOOR! The restaurant was clean and giving "vibes" , I saw a hookah and the blu lighting set the tone.. IT IS HAPPY HOUR and can only speak on this experience. I first ordered a margarita which was delicious and balanced! I also had the sampler with empanadas, poppers, and guacamole! All of which was great!! The music added to the happy hour energy. I'd definitely recommend this time of day... I'm giving 4/5 stars because the neighborhood had a water main break and my buddies restaurant across the street was closed and I came here. Not until later did I wonder how they washed their hands. But... fuk it I'm from the hood and literally had worst!

Paris is the absolute best me and 2 of my friends were there grieving today my doggie of 5 yrs died suddenly they were so sweet they even had a drink for my bear this place is the best

Visited Blu Cantina on Glenwood Road on 08/20 around 10 PM for Taco Tuesday. The kitchen was fully open, as expected for an Atlanta restaurant/lounge at that time. However, the overall experience left much to be desired.Upon entering, neither my friend nor I were greeted. Several other guests seemed just as confused about the seating situation as we were. After finally flagging down a waitress, we learned it was open seating, but the lack of clarity was frustrating. Once seated, it felt like there were no assigned servers--every employee walked past us without a word or acknowledgment.It took about 10 minutes before anyone asked if we had been helped. Once we finally got some service, my friend ordered the fish tacos with fries, and I opted for the Taco Tuesday queso and a turkey taco. The wait times were excessive: 15 minutes for the fries, another 20 minutes for my queso, 15 minutes more for my single bland taco, and then another 16-20 minutes for my friend's tacos. Despite the delays, we decided to stay.The server was very transparent and apologetic, which I appreciated, earning one star. The other star goes to the fries, which were the only highlight of the meal.Overall, the service and experience at Blu Cantina need significant improvement.

Everything my friends and I ordered was delicious. The drinks were great and so was the Hookah. We sat outside because the music was too loud for us to hear each other talk. Overall I really loved this place and even went back a few days later for take out because the food is that good!

I came here for the #LifeStyledHonors kick off Karaoke party and it was a VIBE honey! The place was packed the DJ was doing his thing and the people were full of energy.The staff did a great job checking in on us and getting us what we needed for the most part. I had never had the wings here, so I was unsure which flavor to get, so my greedy self had to get a variety. I got the Sweet lime chili (wet) and the Mexican fire (dry rub), they were both delicious. We also ordered nachos and eggrolls (never thought I'd see eggrolls at a Mexican spot LOL).They have signature drinks, so I had to try the peach whiskey margaritas, not bad. I also noticed they had a cocktail that called for Taylor Port... If you are on social media, then you know there is a hype about this wine and what it supposedly does... So I had to try it :) Overall I had a great time here with my friends, the drinks and wings were flowing, and the vibe was EVERYTHING!

Hopefully this shows the restaurant how quickly an experience can go to one star. Our server was friendly, fast, and attentive. Our wings and drinks were good. My friends were enjoying the hookah The DJ was grooving and giving the perfect ambiance. When we were seated I did take note of the table limit. That's fine, I've been to several establishments with a table limit, not a problem at all. The problem was AS SOON as we closed our checks, security came to the table and said "y'all gotta go". There were still very empty tables and booths, and there wasn't a wait outside for tables. For that reason Blu Cantina won't get another opportunity to tell me or anyone I know "you gotta go".

I dont have a real review as we popped in after leaving a spot close by. I had already eaten so we just had a drink and chilled. The vibe & dj was cool. I look forward to returning to fully experience Blue Cantina

This place was a 10 out of 10 and their wings are on point! They played music on a Friday night but it was all love and a good time. The staff will interact and sing along with you to the music. I strongly suggest you visit, the parking sucks if you aren't there early.

Stepped out to meetup with one of my friends. As usual I'm ready before her so I had some time to kill so I headed to east Atlanta village and went in for a drink at Blue Cantina.While inside i saw a few people in costume for Halloween. I found a table which needed cleaning, as I approached the table a young lady by the name of KEY told me she would clean it first. Not only did she clean the table, she was my waitress for my time there. I placed a order for a appetizer/patron margarita special for $10. The margarita was done right, so was the appetizer. Music selection was OK to the point I ordered a hookah and after 1hr met up with my friend. I really didn't wanna leave after I started chillin/vibing Lol. I would definitely come back to Blue Cantina. If you decide to go ask for Key for really great service.
