This cozy spot elevates Mexican flavors with local ingredients and delightful drinks, perfect for a flavorful night out.
"Atla and Cosme have consolidated their takeout and delivery service into one online operation. So if you’re desperately searching for a way to make your night better, there’s a pound of duck carnitas to answer your prayers (as well as a corn husk meringue)." - hannah albertine
"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
"This highly acclaimed, notably chic Noho Mexican restaurant from Enrique Olvera and Daniela Soto-Innes is offering a range of the most popular items from both its menu and that of its finer dining sister restaurant, Cosme. Lamb barbacoa and duck carnitas — available by the half-pound — are on the menu alongside guacamole, a cheese quesadilla, and duck wings. Mezcal and wine is on deck too, as is the Instagram-famous corn husk meringue dessert from Cosme. Order on Caviar." - Carla Vianna, Serena Dai, Tanay Warerkar
"Even after the departure of chef Daniela Soto-Innes, Atla keeps innovating. One of its most recent offerings is birria — boneless beef short rib served in a half-pound portion cradled in a banana leaf. Alongside come cilantro, onion, and an orange-colored “salsa roja,” and the beef achieves a level of flavor unusual for that meat, making it taste almost like goat. House-made tortillas must be ordered separately." - Robert Sietsema
"Atla is Jean-Georges Vongerichten's go-to spot for tacos in NYC. Known for its flavorful mole, agua frescas, margaritas, and seasonal offerings." - Nancy DePalma
