The Best Mexican Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Black matte walls, dried agave leaves hanging over a mezcal-stocked bar, and an energy that makes you feel like you might lock eyes with a billionaire greet you at Pata Negra. This Buckhead spot is built for a showy date night—sultry, moody, and dark enough to make you lean in close and whisper over cocktails. The namesake drink, a twist on a margarita with sage and lemon, sets the tone. And the food lives up to the drama, especially the juicy chicken thigh tacos on soft, non-grainy corn tortillas that won’t disintegrate mid-bite." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
