"Downtown Chamblee has become the place to be on the weekends with coffee shops and boutiques in close walking distance of each other. Antiguo Lobo serves dinner, but makes an especially great lunch destination when dining with kids. The full-service Mexican restaurant sets a cheery tone with colorful decor and has a kids’ menu with scaled-down versions of their classic dishes (the cheese nachos tend to be a hit). It’s also within close proximity to other must-visit Chamblee destinations like Wild Aster Books (with a thoughtful children’s section) and the Frosty Caboose’s ice cream stand." - Lia Picard
"Named in honor of his late father, Jesús Oñate Jr. opened Antiguo Lobo (“old wolf”) in 2021, taking over a former antiques store in historic downtown Chamblee. The restaurant features dishes on the menu representing multiple regions around Mexico, including Molcajete El Monstruo served in a volcanic rock mortar, enchiladas verdes, and cochinita pibil as well as street corn, aguachile, and tacos. As a trained tequila expert and certified master mezcalier, Oñate Jr. created a cocktail list that rivals the food at Antiguo Lobo, which centers on margaritas and other agave-based drinks." - Eater Staff
"Included in Chamblee’s downtown entertainment district that took effect July 1, this establishment may participate in the city’s open-container area between Ingersoll Rand Drive and McGaw Drive, allowing patrons to consume off-premise alcoholic beverages within the designated boundaries under strict rules: drinks must be served in clear plastic cups bearing the establishment’s logo and an authorized city sticker, and open containers must be disposed of by 10:00 p.m. Possession of open beverages outside the district, after 10:00 p.m., or in unauthorized containers can result in citations or fines. The district is intended to promote local businesses, walkability, and community gathering; state rules on to-go cocktails (SB 236) still apply where municipalities permit them, including limits on quantity, container type, alcohol content, and purchaser identification." - Beth McKibben
