Bone Garden Cantina

It smells like heaven. It tastes like a dream. Everything here is so amazing, it's almost suspicious.Oh boy, my stomach must be drafting love letters to the chef again.I'm not a stranger to this place, especially after surviving working the wilds of Dragon Con over a long weekend. I'm on a personal quest to conquer their taco menu - a delicious journey, though I confess I've barely scratched the surface. Each taco is a revelation. The elote? To die for. Their salsa? It could probably win elections. And the cocktails... let's just say they have a special way of smoothing over the rough edges of reality. It's like the bartenders are wizards, and their wands are cocktail shakers.

I've been here twice now and have been very happy both times! I went over the weekend with friends, we stopped to get some food before the GA / Bama game. There was ample seating available both outside and inside - we went for indoors since it was kind of muggy outside. Both times I've been, the servers are prompt and knowledgeable about menu items. There were 3 of us and we ordered the guac, salsa, queso trio with chips to share. We couldn't finish and took the leftovers home, and our server brought us a bag of fresh chips to bring home too which was nice. For my entree I tried the steak quesadilla special and a shrimp empanada. The steak in the quesadilla is incredible and the empanada was fresh and flavorful. My ONE complaint is that the tables are rather small. If we'd had a fourth person it would have been a tight squeeze with everyone's plates!

Food and drinks were great! Love the habanero "salsa". The chorizo queso was super tasty. The decorations are super cool and eclectic. I love it. We will be back.

I can not stand this place. The drinks were honestly not good and weren't even what we ordered. I tried to walk in and the hostess was SO rude. We were in everyone's way but they wouldn't seat us either and it was very frustrating. Once our whole party was there we were seated and then it got worse.I split a burrito and everyone received their food except for me. Of course. Then it took 45 minutes to get my meal so I just asked for it to go. Would've been nice to eat there. On top of waiting I just opened my to go container and it's the wrong type of burrito.... Are you joking.As were saying buy to our friends the waitress with curly hair actually yelled at us to either leave or sit because still in the way I guess.Your workers are rude and your food was not good. Last time I ever come to this place.

This place is stunning and our server was so nice but the food was a miss for us. I ordered empanadas and they were doughier than I preferred. My husband had the tamarind margarita and it was really good. I had a regular margarita and was less than impressed. I also ordered a kiwi daiquiri and if you're a big rum drinker, you'll love it. We won't be back based on food alone but it was nice to try. I'm sure it's someone's cup of tea.

A friend of mine local to Atlanta treated our group of 3 to lunch at Bone Garden Cantina. It was a Saturday around 1pm when we walked in. There was a short wait, less than ten minutes, and we were taken to a table. The staff were friendly, despite how busy the restaurant was (no open tables). We enjoyed chips and queso as an appetizer and I have to celebrate this queso. The texture was so smooth and it tasted fresh and not like fake cheese. There is a slight kick to it, but I wouldn't say it's spicy. Our food came out quickly and there were no complaints from the table. We enjoyed one of the specials - the steak adobo quesadilla, a house salad, and the birria brisket enchiladas. This is a great cantina vibe restaurant for lunch and we enjoyed the ambiance and flavors! I would definitely visit again if I'm in town.

While on a trip to ATL, a large group of colleagues and I decided to go to Bone Garden Cantina for dinner. The décor was so fun and this was definitely a unique place to visit. As someone from Texas, I wasn't sure what to expect for Mexican food in ATL but I was curious to see how it compares to our Tex-Mex. We decided to order a large variety of things to share as a group in addition to our individual meals. I tried the following: - House Margarita: I love a good margarita and this wasn't it. I thought it tasted very watery and like the margarita mix was store bought. I didn't order a second and wouldn't recommend this. - The Three Amigos: average trio dip with chips. This is a standard appetizer to order so I would order it again even though neither the queso nor guacamole were "great". - Birria Brisket Enchiladas (without tomatillo sauce): The flavor was good but this definitely had a kick to it. - Banana Empanadas: I haven't ever had a banana empanada so this was good to try. Of the two desserts, this was my favorite. - Almond Flan: An OK desert that was fun to try Our entire group found the meal to be very spicy to the point that not everyone was able to eat their food despite it being delicious otherwise. If you have a low spice tolerance (like me), I would suggest asking the server. As for service, it was OK. Our server was friendly and did her best to accommodate such a large group but the other staff in the restaurant were a bit short with us if asked a question. All in all, I'm glad we tried it but it isn't a place I plan to go back to if every in ATL.

I would have given them 5 stars but they got rid of the "red sangria" and the white one isn't good at all. However Sam's service was really good. It was a chill Taco Tuesday. And the ambiance was relaxing for a weekday. Please bring back the red sangria!

Came here for date night dinner and it was so good!! I had a drink that I didn't love, but my boyfriend had a house margarita that he thought was delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's decorated really cute too

So taking bites of my s/o and friends dishes and my sangria are the reason why this review is not a 2. I ordered the tamales and hated them. This is a strong word I normally don't use to describe a bad dish, but they were awful. I'm not sure it was a bad night or if tamales are not a usual dish they sell, but I highly recommend not ordering them. I tried their chicken and pork one. The chicken one was incredibly dry. The tamale corn part was dense and dry. The chicken itself was not flavorful and dry. The pork one was better, the pork was juicy and tender but once again the tamale tasted dry... a bit stale? It's hard to describe. Overall this dish wasn't... good and if I ever go back I will not be ordering.However my date and friend ordered the steak tacos and birria brisket enchilada were delicious. Totally would have loved both of them.The drinks, service and environment were friendly and had a good vibe. I recommend checking them out.
