"Nothing screams summertime like pastels, huge umbrellas, and a watermelon margarita. Check all three boxes at Botica in Buckhead, a Spanish-Mexican restaurant with a lively, family-friendly atmosphere. The outdoor patio, surrounded by lush greenery, is well-suited for huddling with friends or getting in some solo people-watching. Start with tangy halibut ceviche, and make sure you order the carne asada tacos—one of our consistent favorites." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
