Pata Negra Mezcaleria

Went a for an early evening dinner on a Tuesday, and the ambience was lovely. I was quickly greeted at the door by the host that took my reservation as well as let me validate my parking. The host, bartender, as well as my server were superb.I ordered the oro verde guacamole for an appetizer, and the poblanas de pollo for my entree. Both were very tasty, and well balanced with flavor.For drinks, I tried the Dahlia (since I'm not really too found of strong mezcal) and it was very refreshing! My second drink was the Cantera Verde, and the cucumber paired perfectly with the mezcal.Overall a very pleasant experience!

Oh. My. God. This was the best restaurant experience I've had in a very long time, and definitely the best one in Atlanta. My cousin and I split dishes since we wanted to try multiple entrees. I was a bit nervous about trying the ceviche-we are landlocked and ceviche is hit or miss in most places outside of the states. But it was great!! We also had the tuna tostadas, guacamole and the scallops dish and everything was amazing! Presentation and flavors were so good. My cousin opted for a mezcal tasting and she was extremely pleased with it!! Service was quick, and the restaurant itself was just beautiful. I will be back for the ceviche and the tuna tostadas alone-no sharing!!

A wonderful intimate and tasty option in Atlanta. The food is authentic and inventive without being over-engineered, and though the menu isn't large it has enough options to fit most tastes. Every dish our group tried was cooked to perfection. The service was superb as well with numerous wait staff ensuring our small group had everything we needed. Our drinks never went dry, food was delivered promptly and the staff answered all of our questions about the menu. The ambiance is great for an intimate date night or a small team dinner (which was our occasion) It is a little higher on the price scale but reasonable given the service and quality.

This restaurant is beautiful and the food is well presented and delicious. We started with the chips and homemade salsa, which was very flavorful and definitely homemade. We all shared the enchiladas, chicken tacos and octopus, all of which were delicious. The drinks are a bit pricy for what you get. The margaritas a well presented, but with one large ice cube which looks cool - it leaves you with about three sips of the actual cocktail...for $18. I'll request regular ice and hopefully a better pour next time. Service is attentive, but tonight someone was hosting a business happy hour in the bar area, which slowed the bar service - our $18 margaritas pretty much arrived after we were more than half way through our meals. All in all, I still give this place pretty much a five star review and will definitely return.

Nice ambiance and service. All of our food was delicious except for the guacamole (it was $18 and not worth it). However, the tuna tostadas, chilaquiles, breakfast tacos (chorizo/potato) were all incredible. The horchata was also exceptional. The complimentary chicharrones are a nice touch :)

What a fun new place with authentic food from Jalisco, Mexico. The restaurant is decorated in a very moody way, with dim lighting and an interesting mix of music. The service was great, and the manager came to check on us several times. The food is hard to predict from the menu, but the Tlayuda de Piedad was like a pizza with black bean paste sauce with different veggies in every bite. The chef's special salad was an arugula salad with citrus that was perfection. I'm not an enchilada person usually, but the poblanos de pollo were really good and the crema was so fresh. We loved our cocktails (La Tapatia, spicy, and Pata Negra). The garage parking is validated and the restaurant is inside the entrance for the apartment complex. They have a patio, but it's right on Peachtree, so it's very loud out there with cars whizzing by.

The presentation was great. The food was good, but nothing wowing and worth 5 stars to me. And factoring in the price puts my review at a solid 4 stars.They had complimentary chicharrones for the table to share. It was tasty and crunchy but nothing spectacular to call out.The table shared the oro verde guacamole ($18), salsa huasteca ($6), and I believe also the panucho de cochinita pibil ($27). These were good and some more unique than others (the latter), but is it worth the price to portion ratio -- look at my pictures for reference sizes???The hubs had the sopa del dia ($12) and aguachile de carne encenizado ($30). His soup was a rather watery, green soup with chicken chunks and potato/starchy bites. It was good, but I don't think we'd get it again. The main dish was interesting in its taste appeal and flavor. This was something quite unique and pretty worth the price ish. The beef was tender with the portobello tasting delicious. The habero ashes (really black sauce) everything sat upon was a creative endeavor by the chef. I still can't pinpoint what exactly it is or how to really describe it. I had the temporada de lluvias ($38). The scallops were scrumptious and so tasty with the flavors of the risotto. The risotto itself was interesting. It was huitlacoche to be specific, and I really dug the flavors and unique ingredients. The risotto was rich in flavors and had corn, mushrooms, and other tidbits that came together really well.For dessert, we all shared the dama nocturna ($15). The ice cream, mousse, cake, etc. all worked so well together to play on fun textures, flavors, and sensations. Some of the portion sizes were a wee bit on the tiny side. Like the chocolate cake thingy (dessert) was greatly presented and tasted amazing, but it was on the smaller side.Park in the Arya (upscale apartment) parking structure. The restaurant validates parking for up to 3 hours.

One of the best new restaurants in Atlanta for sure!!! Pata negra is such a beautiful spot with fantastic food. They validate parking as well which is a huge plus! We had a pretty large group come in for dinner but the service was great and fast. The drinks came in mini cauldrons which was super cute! I didn't try any when I went, but my friends who did all said they liked them. I had the aguachile de carne for dinner and I really enjoyed how the meat was cooked and the sauce. The enchiladas were also pretty decent, but I don't think mole is really my thing.I then had a dessert that was chocolate, passion fruit, and guava and it was pretty good too! Overall I'd definitely come back for a nice date night or girls night, and the only con I can think of is it was a bit expensive for the portions. But other than that, pata negra was fantastic and is a strong early contender for top spots of 2024!

LOVED everything about this place! The ambience, the service, the food, the drinks! Only thing I will say is it is a littleee pricey but I think they can justify the prices. There are so many delicious options to choose from, here's what I recommend:-Arandina drink-Cuna de piedra drink-aguachile de carne-panucho de cochinita pibil -Rosa negraParking is also validated in the garage connected!

This is among the freshest concepts and best execution for a new restaurant in Atlanta! The interior is all black, with interesting, light fixtures, and the bar is absolutely beautiful! The bar decoration actually has the agave above ground and the roots below ground as the decoration across the top. Alex took care of us and it's very clear that he has a strong personal connection to the restaurant, the chef, and the overall vision. David was the manager manager the night we were there, and he was a tremendous host, and likewise connected us with the dishes, and why they are special and what the inspiration was.The chef is preparing dishes that speak to his upbringing and the food that he had. But please don't think about this as being a greasy Mexican place. This is high cuisine with very innovative flavors and sublime execution. I could tell you about what we ordered, and how much I loved each of the dishes, but I would suggest coming in and talking to Alex or David and hearing about the dishes. Even looking at the menu won't do it justice.I will say that the guacamole was excellent And we also started with appetizers that were fantastic especially one which was a flower tortilla with some beans and then chicken that had been marinated for 24 hours and then roasted for three hours with lots of other goodies. The chicken salad was by all accounts. Excellent, we shared a lot of dishes, so we also had the enchiladas with the Molé sauce. I'm from Texas, and this was the best Molé I've ever had. We also had the chicken tacos which were fantastic with lots of fresh items on it. But the really excellent pieces were the steaks, we had both, and they were really well done And super flavorful with sides that were likewise very flavorful. The poblano rice sounds like it would be just rice, but it's delicious and full flavor!This is a five star review you can believe! I'm looking forward to going back with a group of guys to go to the bar and hang out with the bartender learning about the different mezcals.
