Most Popular Spanish food in Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Reviews on Spanish food in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

I've been here twice now (four years between visits) and this is a great place to crush some tapas and get some unique brews on tap. On our last visit, we were pleasantly surprised when the staff kept leaving us additional small dishes, complements of the house.I can't honestly remember what all we had, but suffice it to say that these guys are on top of their game and they do a nice job.I hope it's not 2023 before my next visit.Paul,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experiences at our restaurant! We also hope it isn't so long before we see you again!Lauren

You don't have to travel to Cuba or the Caribbean to experience the flavors that are indigenous to the tropics. Papi's brings all the essence of the South Seas to you, with attention to authenticity and an adherence to the recipes of generations.

Service and Food Were a Major Disappointment. During a visit to Atlanta, decided to give this place a try- the menu read really interesting and found some dishes to try. I had the Lechon with rice and beans with Tostones. My Wife had the "Ropa Vieja with Yellow Rice". I'll start by saying the service they provide is worse that fast food places. It was unreal to witness the attitude and the way the speak to the customers. Although I was ready to go elsewhere, my wife decided to stay. The Pork is not "Asado" as the menu states, nor anything similar. It is basically pork cooked in a crok-pot, dump some lemon and orange juice, add half a bottle of adobo goya and perhaps some broth to keep it moist. It was moist, but SALTY and greasy. The Rice had zero flavor. The black beans were out of a can, without any other ingredients besides some Artificial Ham flavoring (like Knorr-Brand Cubes). I've eaten my share of Caribbean dishes in my lifetime and this by no means represent any effort on cooking a latin nor cuban dish. The Ropa Vieja was nothing more than a beef stew with only bell pepper and onion added, little flavor and lots of tomato sauce. Reading up on the Cuban way of making the Ropa-Vieja Dish found they don't use "Tasajo" which is the correct meat for the dish. Even then, they effort to season it in any way to tase like Ropa Vieja was not used. The Tostones were the highlight of the meal as they were freshly made and not over cooked as some places tend to do. The Mojito was made from a mix and not mixed properly- Overly strong and Expensive for a short glass. Most places serve it on a tall glass IF you go there for Drinks, DO not think a Cuban restaurant will make a good Mojito, this place confirms it is a Myth. Take the time to stand next to the bar with a clear view of the sink where they "Wash" and Rinse their Glasses. You'll probably be as turned-off as me, when you see their "Soapy" water has no soap. It is just plain water. Salty Food does not equal Good food, not Caribbean food.

We were a big group of co-workers and had reserved for dinner ahead of schedule. We got to order a ton of tapas including the pork belly, Albóndigas, Prawns a la Plancha, Drunken Goat, Spiced Beef Empanadas. All of them were varying levels of good, making for a very satisfying meal.Thank you very much for your kind words about your visit with us at Barcelona Wine Bar in Inman Park. Hope to see you soon.
