"It’s getting too hot to hop around the city. Post up on this Buckhead patio under a turquoise umbrella with a margarita pitcher and a bowl of ceviche with sweet oranges. If your day drinking somehow turns into night, don’t worry. Chido & Padre’s string lights will come on, and the tacos with spicy chicken make dinner here easy too." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
"Lobster fajitas will be on the menu at Chido & Padre’s in Buckhead, along with a champagne toast to 2025. The last reservation for the night will be at 9:45pm. But if you’re the type who likes to party twice, go home, take a nap, and come back when the margaritas start flowing again at 4pm on New Year’s Day." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"The vibes at Chido and Padres in Buckhead change depending on where you sit and when you come. One bar features bright colors, flowers, and Frida Kahlo portraits on the walls and ceilings while the other moodier, more romantic bar has dark wood accents and low lighting. And the outdoor patio is a premier destination on balmy afternoons for the scene chasers who can’t sit outside without a margarita in hand. But luckily the food is solid no matter where you post up at this trendy spot. Get the queso fundido topped with pumpkin seeds for some fun cheese pull action. If hunger hits hard, the cheesy, crunchy quesabirrias stuffed with your choice of lamb or brisket is the best thing on the menu. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman Pause Unmute RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Juli Horsford
"This Buckhead spot with Ed Hardy vibes is a must visit on Taco Tuesday, or any day, thanks to their incredible happy hour specials. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day you’ll find half-off deals on snacks including guacamole and queso. Save room for the smoked brisket tacos, their most popular tacos filled with tender, smoky meat. Balance it out with the mango rico margarita, a sweet and spicy concoction of Cazadores Reposado, Ancho Reyes, lime juice, agave nectar, and mango puree. Have a four-legged friend? Bring him along — the patio is dog friendly." - Vox Creative
"Opening Tuesday, March 13, the Baja-Mex restaurant and tequila bar Chido + Padre’s promises Buckhead a “fiesta forever” and will replace the recently shuttered Smoke Belly BBQ. Part of Southern Proper Hospitality (Big Ketch, Tin Lizzy’s, Gypsy Kitchen), it says it will celebrate Mexico’s fresh, coastal cuisine, and the main dining room and bar—under the watchful eye of a Frida Kahlo piece—are apparently separated by a chain-link fence. Executive chef Jonathan Mercado, who has worked at Rosa Mexicano, True Foods Kitchen, and Bartaco, leads the kitchen, which offers familiar dishes like quesadillas, fajitas, and tostadas alongside coastal-leaning items such as a campechana (seafood cocktail) with rock shrimp, fish-of-the-day, mango, avocado, and coconut rice, and a chicken mole with cabbage slaw, black beans, and sesame seeds. Margarita lovers get six choices, including one made with hibiscus-infused tequila. Hours are Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–11 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–1 a.m.; the restaurant is located at 128 East Andrews Drive, Atlanta (chidoandpadres.com)." - Beth McKibben
