The 7 Best Restaurants On Venice's Abbot Kinney

"Major restaurant openings are sparse on Abbot Kinney, which is why Atla’s arrival feels like a big deal. This NYC import is from the Damian and Pujol team, but the Mexican food and the breezy dining experience skew much more casual here. With an all-day menu, a zen baby-blue space, and people in loose-fit jeans ordering tequila cocktails at lunch, Atla makes complete sense for the neighborhood. Expect well-executed staples like stringy quesadillas on soft blue tortillas, adobo-marinated fish, and potato flautas that shatter when you cut into them. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
