"Daytime is when you want to visit Atla, so it’s a good place for a lunch meeting. This is the Noho Mexican restaurant from the same chef behind Cosme, and at lunchtime you can order from both the breakfast and evening menu. That means you can get ranchero eggs, a salad, a huge chorizo sandwich, or arctic char stuffed inside an avocado. There’s a good balance of light and heavy food, and it’s extremely pleasant when the sun shines in through the big windows." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
"Atla is the sister restaurant of Cosme, and it’s sort of like the casual, downtown, let’s-get-food-after-exercising version of that place. So it’s actually pretty different. They serve flax-seed chilaquiles, and the bright space is good for a daytime meal, although it’s also open for dinner. Plan a lunch meeting here when you don’t want to weigh yourself down for the rest of the day. Or, if you have a stressful morning and the only thing that will help is a breakfast burrito, they have one that’s pretty great (add the avocado)." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, willa moore, sonal shah
"The bustling all-day Mexican eatery from acclaimed chef Enrique Olvera has an outdoor seating area that’s a prime position for people watching while you sip tasty margaritas and dive into the can’t-order-just-one tacos, aguas frescas, and tostadas. And don’t forget the guac." - Shivani Vora

"Atla is offering an abbreviated delivery menu, but since both the quesadilla and chicken soup are on it, we’re certainly not complaining. Remember to order the Oaxaca cheese-filled quesadilla with mushrooms and a side of spicy salsa verde, and to fully explore this Noho Mexican spot’s long mezcal before placing your order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren
