This restaurant is definitely worth a try, smaller plates, but the flavors are great. Went with group of 5 and ordered several different dishes. All were great with fresh flavors.

I really wanted to like this place but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The flavors were a bit bland, and some dishes felt like they were missing that special touch. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but it seems like the hype didn't translate into the actual experience. The ambiance is nice, and the staff was attentive, but when it comes to the food, I was left wanting more. The prices are so expensive almost $30 for 2 pieces of tacos. We ordered guacamole as well the chips are stale and oily. I hope the management look into it and considering their market prices.

The food is very good but the prices are nuts. Atmosphere is a bit cold.

My friend and I visited on Saturday, July 5th. We tried the Brussel sprout and suadero tacos, al pastor gringa, birria, and the guacamole. For drinks we had the mangonada, margaritas, and an horchata. The stand out items for me were the Brussels sprout tacos, Al pastor gringa, and the guacamole. All of the other items were good but not memorable. The service was acceptable. There was a hiccup where the server charged us for another tables check. There isn’t a way to contact the restaurant by phone. Their automated message states you can contact them by text but that goes unanswered. I was able to resolve the matter by email but did have to spend some time on the phone with my credit card company due to me paying with Apple Pay and the restaurant not being able to find my transaction even after giving the exact amount I was charged.

Delicious Mexican spot, loved the pork Al pastor and all the sauces 😍 it was absolutely delicious, all the ingredients were fresh and the service was amazing!
Even with all the tortillas and the generous portions, we (a table of 4) felt full (but not heavy and stuffed) after the meal.
HIGHLY recommend

Great margaritas. The food is very good as well. Some dishes shine more than others. The lobster burrito is very special.

I had great expectations from my experience at the ATLA in Venice, only tried the Happy hour tacos, the tortillas were cold and the tacos were nothing special compared to the flavors in Mexico City or what I’m used to in Austin and San Diego.

From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was going to be a memorable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of character — stylish without being pretentious, and comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the evening. Whether you’re here for a special occasion or just a casual meal, it strikes the perfect balance.
The service was truly outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made sure we were taken care of without hovering, and their timing was flawless from start to finish.
As for the food — everything was beautifully presented and cooked with care. The flavors were bold, fresh, and balanced, and you could tell that quality ingredients were a top priority. Each plate felt like it was crafted with attention to detail, and the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming.
Dessert was just as memorable and left a great final impression.
This place exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s rare to find a restaurant that checks all the boxes — atmosphere, service, food, and overall experience. I’ll absolutely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.

I believe this is another restaurant from the same group that owns Cosme, possibly our favorite spot in the city right now. Like Cosme, their steak (carne asada) was a real standout. Also really loved the fish tostada and brussels sprout tacos. We had several other dishes and truly everything was good. Have a slight preference for this as a great lunch spot (vs dinner), but it’s never a bad choice.
I love everything Chef Olvera does from Pujol to Cosme, his restaurants are flawless! ATLA is no exception! It’s the best option I’ve come across for authentic, high-quality, casual Mexican fare in NYC. I moved to NoHo a couple of years ago and it’s quickly become part of my regular rotation of restaurants. The staff is warm and service is excellent! The happy hour is an affordable option for tacos during the week but the real magic is in going with friends and sharing a bunch of items.

ATLA stands out as a vibrant and accessible spot for those seeking contemporary Mexican cuisine in New York City. Its combination of inventive dishes, inviting atmosphere, and consistent quality make it a noteworthy destination for both casual meals and special occasions.

This restaurant used to be great many years ago but now is only mediocre Mexican food. You can get better tacos down the street. We ordered 2 simple salads with avocado and 1 coffee and it cost $43 each. Very disappointing! One waiter covered the entire lunch crowd in the restaurant and he was slow, all food was delayed and we had to get up to get our check and pay at the bar. He saw us do this and didn't even apologize for the bad service. Do not recommend this restaurant, there are much better Mexican restaurants nearby.

small menu lets the kitchen put out top notch food. Good and friendly service. Bit pricey.
Excellent and real Mexican food!
