Modern Mexican bites with local ingredients, coffee, wines, mezcals
"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

"Flatiron favorite Cosme may be doted on by diners, but nobody puts Atla in a corner. The delightful little sibling on Lafayette Street stands proudly on its own two feet; and if the dazzling design—defined by black-and-white tiles, tiny wood tables, and a bustling, cosmopolitan scene—makes it feel like a contemporary Mexican terrace, well that’s the point.First things first: order a mezcal from the massive selection, then settle in to peruse the list of small plates. Arctic char tostada is a classic, but the scallop ceviche with cherry tomato is sure to garner a serious following. Other winners include meltingly tender birria, best with a side of warm tortillas.The handsome and none-too-sweet tres leches cake is a required finale." - Michelin Inspector
