Day of the Dead decor, fresh Mexican fare & strong margaritas
"With its authentic, made from scratch Mexican fare and knock-your-socks-off libations, it’s no surprise that Bone Garden Cantina makes our list of top Westside scenes. Tucked in the Lumberyard Lofts, you’d almost never know it was there - until you stumble upon the elaborate Day of the Dead decor. Which, did we mention is all designed by local Atlanta artists? So if you’re craving a little spice in your life, we dare you to visit our favorite – Bone Garden Cantina." - Resource Branding
"If the moment calls for a pitcher of margarita, chips, queso, and conversation, then Bone Garden is an excellent choice. The patio at Bone Garden Cantina is huge, so when you come with your group, don’t worry about bumping knees at the table. We love nights under the string lights on the chill patio. But if you decide to sit inside the brightly colored, skeleton-filled Day of the Dead-themed Mexican restaurant, expect it to be full of lively conversations to complement your refreshing margarita and spicy, flavorful chipotle chicken burrito with cilantro and tangy salsa verde." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"If the moment calls for a pitcher of margaritas, chips, queso, and conversation, then Bone Garden in West Midtown is a solid bet. It’s been open since 2008, and it’s remained consistently great since then. The massive, colorful patio means there’s always room for your group—no awkward knee-bumping required. Or grab a seat inside if you want a lively scene where things lean hard into a skeleton-filled, Day of the Dead theme. The buzzy energy pairs perfectly with a cold margarita. And after your first bite of the spicy chipotle chicken burrito, it'll become crystal clear why this place keeps a steady crowd. Food Rundown Carne Adobo Taco The steak tacos are tender and marinated in guajillo chile and red pepper, which bring some nice heat but not at the expense of flavor. A solid choice. Chipotle Chicken Burrito This is our go-to order. The chicken is simmered in a smoky tomato-based sauce, then wrapped with refried beans, rice, and a punchy salsa verde. It’s big, satisfying, and doesn’t hold back. photo credit: Jacinta Howard Tinga de Pollo Taco Get this. It's filled with soft and juicy shredded chicken, then topped with red onion, radish, and a fiery salsa de árbol." - Jacinta Howard
"Bone Garden Cantina in the Lumberyard on Ellsworth Industrial is decked out in Day of the Dead decor. Be sure to order one of the restaurant’s very strong margaritas — or a pitcher — to pair with the spicy queso chock full of jalapeños and served with fresh tortilla chips. Call to order takeout." - Eater Staff
"The margaritas at this Westside cantina are made super fresh and are no joke. Try the Hot Chile with spicy habanero-infused tequila, orange liqueur, sweet and sour mix, and hot sauce." - Eater Staff
