Could not get enough of this place. The tacos were creative, unique and delicious...as were the cocktails and house-made sodas. It was so good, we went back three times during the course of our stay. Interestingly, the waitstaff were always warm, friendly and helpful. But, the same cannot be said for the hostesses. On all three occasions, the hostesses (all different) confronted our party about "not following the rules." One got on to us for being seated outside by a waiter who was standing by the tables..."you have to come inside and see me first!", another told us we could not sit outside (though there were 4 picnic tables unoccupied) until we told here it was outside or gone, and the final one never showed up to the stand after almost 10 minutes and then got on to us for going outside to sit at one of the numerous unoccupied tables. But, don't let this deter you...because the food is incredible and once you get past the gatekeepers, the rest of the staff of amazingly friendly and accommodating. Since the interaction with the hostesses was a minimal part, I am giving 5 stars.

Drove with multiple carloads a couple of hours to come have dinner and dance salsa (every Sunday). Since we were dancing we tried to only order light. I highly recommend their desserts (chili brownie or dulce de leche (carmel ice cream) and their Guacho fries (which are thin, spiced and come with dipping sauces). Atomic has high end Mexican style food with everything fresh made. Many different taco options like tilapia. Their liquid cheese comes with grilled mushrooms. Come early to eat as the Salsa dancing starts at 630 with lessons and dancing until at least 11 pm. A great diverse group of people with all levels of dancing talent. Everyone dances with everyone!!

Dinner before a show was fantastic! The service was excellent for our party of 6. The food was eclectic and well presented. Beef brisket enchilada had chunks of rich meat and flavorful cheese. The decor highlighted local artists. My only regret was that the margarita was not better--a bit watery! All in all I would return again!

I'll be honest. We live very close to this restaurant and have never been very impressed. We heard they hired a new chef and are very glad we gave it another try. All the food was great tasting and beautifully presented (salsa, chips, shrimp tacos, chicken enchiladas with chorizo salsa and of course flan!). I gave it 4 stars instead if 5 as the beans were barely warm and the service a bit uneven.
