La Chiquiada

Great food and top tier service. The margaritas are the best in Atlanta. Will absolutely be back.

Great little spot for Mexican food in Decatur. We ended up here after walking up, and we decided to try a new spot. We sat at the bar, and there were several happy hour specials. We opted for nachos and a variety of tacos. The nachos would have been better with a queso vs cheddar cheese, but the tacos were fantastic. The handmade tortillas really made them! The service was only ok (I don't think the young waitress was trained very well). There were a few mishaps like not receiving utensils, etc., but the values at happy hour were worth the ok service.I'll definitely be back to try more things on the menu as well as for coffee and breakfast.

Cost: $$Food: * * *Service: * * *Ambiance: * * * *-------------------------------------This is a very chic and trendy place. An upscale Mexican restaurant with some classic options.The place itself is very modern and trendy. I really enjoyed the hand painted murals with the high ceilings. Music was definitely on point and fit the atmosphere to a T.We were there for a business lunch, and so we had limited time. The food was taking a long time to come out, and it was a little bland and frankly, a little small.The chips and salsa were my favorite out of the whole meal. But they are also a la carte. So just be aware.All and all, it's worth a stop by to try. It is a fun place to experience at least once.

9/10I really loved this place. I came on a quiet Wednesday night and it was awesome. I really enjoyed their margaritas which was perfect and their ceaser salad with carnitas (I know what you're thinking...who goes to a Mexican place to get a ceaser salad) Cinco de Mayo is around the corner and I know I'll be tearing up tacos left and right. The guacamole here was really good as well but a small sharing for two people. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of, this place doesn't just serve queso. They have a chipotle sharp pimento cheese but no just plain queso. I'd still come back, our server Dillion was so sweet and I love the area.

This is a hidden gem! My friend and I grabbed a bite to eat here after a Highland Yoga class.The atmosphere is charming, the servers are very attentive and friendly, the tacos are delicious, and it's very easy to eat gluten free here. 5 stars!

A beautiful restaurant tucked away nearby trinity place and Agnes Scott college, nearby a great apartment complex. The service is amazing and the staff are truly a team. They made us feel like royalty. The food was delicious. I wish I lived nearby by so I can sample all the delicious cocktails and foods and walk home satisfied. The staff again are beautiful and young, they have gone above and beyond making my family and I feel so important. The definition of great service and we came with a little one. They brought us extra forks, water, to go box. Thank you. We will come back again

LocationLa Chiquiada is located within the interior of an apartment complex. If you are looking to see it from the street, you may miss it.ParkingThere are parking garages around the restaurant, but if you park in the apartment complex's garage you can get your parking validated. The parking garage is well lit and a very short walk to the restaurant. ServiceI sat at the bar and Aaron was so kind and attentive! He checked on me regularly to make sure I had everything I neededFoodTo drink I had a virgin spicy margarita. Being that the drink is made with a jalapeno liquor, Aaron went above and beyond to hand muddle fresh jalapenos for my drink. It was delicious!I ordered 2 chicken tacos, elote and the taquitos. My food was good and had flavor. The taquitos could have been wrapped in a thinner tortilla for my preference, but the fire sauce it was paired with was way better than expected. Don't let the name "fire" mislead you, it isn't spicy at all.

Recently checked this place out on Wednesday night. I love the area it's in not overly crowded and quiet. The margaritas were 10/10! The guacamole was good, it bit small for the price. They don't offer queso but I tried their verde salsa it was thicker than I was expecting. For my entree I tried their chicken enchiladas plate which came with rice and beans. The beans had a great taste but they were very thick and cold. The enchiladas were good a little thick not a lot of chicken but still good. The rice was cold and I could do without the peas but if it was warmer it would be really. The margaritas definitely took it to a four and the service was great as well.

The restaurant itself is super vibrant and very welcoming. The staff was extremely kind and checked on us constantly. While this was all great, I was a little disappointed with *some* of the food and the pricing of their drinks.A margarita for $15 should be criminal - regardless of where you live. Though it tasted good, it is not worth the price. However a beer for $4 was justifiable as that's the "norm" for the Atlanta area.The Chipotle Cheese was DELICIOUS. I could've had an entire bowl to myself. Their roja salsa was super unique and also had a tasty flavor. Chips were hot and cooked to perfection.Unfortunately, both my fiancé and I weren't impressed with our main courses. My fiancé was highly disappointed with the Chille Relleno. It was smothered in cheese which made it hard to taste the actual pepper, as well as cutting it to eat.For me, the chicken enchiladas had a good flavor, but it was also smothered in cheese and the inside felt a tad dry. I'd recommend putting less cheese on top, and focusing more of putting cheese inside the dishes (stuffed in the Relleno and baked in the enchilada). More enchilada sauce would've been better than the smothered cheese on top. The rice and beans were great though!I read a lot of the reviews and I'm glad a lot of people enjoy their food, however, we wouldn't likely return.Overall, I do recommend going ahead and giving it shot as they definitely have great service and some great flavors. I just hope the main courses will be adjusted in the future.

I have to say what initially brought me to this restaurant were the amazing Yelp reviews and let me tell you, the reviews did not disappoint. I really have to say this restaurant has turned into one of my favorite Mexican restaurants so far. This restaurant is located in Decatur, GA under the AMLI apartments. Parking is in the apartment complex parking garage. However, the restaurant does validate your parking ticket.Now let's get to good stuff. The food!For my girls night I brought my friend to this restaurant and we decided to order the Chicken Enchilada, the slow cooked carnitas along with additional tortillas, Grilled street corn and the full bloom and the Mim's Mojito for our cocktails.My friend said the Chicken Enchiladas were amazing and the slowed cooked carnitas I ordered were everything. Now the slow cooked carnitas do not come with tortillas. It comes on a bed of Mexican rice , refried beans, queso fresco, pickled onions and cilantro. Of course, I had to add some sour cream and hot sauce on the side lol but when I tell you everything was delicious. Everything was delicious and very authentic and appetizing. I am not much of a Mexican cuisine lover because some of the restaurants I have tried are more of a Tex-Mex style rather than being truly authentic but La Chiquiada is the real deal!I met the owner Kathryn and her mother who were nothing but accommodating and very nice as well as their staff. Kathryn informed us her restaurant has only been open for one year but let me tell you, based off the reviews, everyone is loving this place. The restaurant is a good size with a nice patio and lovely decor. I told Kathryn that with the food being so amazing, that I would be back for their brunch. Please everyone, if you are looking for a new authentic Mexican restaurant, La Chiquiada is the place to visit. Run don't walk because this place is something you don't want to miss out on. Thanks Kathryn!
