Pata Negra Mezcaleria

I celebrated my birthday here & it was a lovely experience! The background story of the restaurant and the decorations flow so beautifully. The food was DELICIOUS & the staff was kind. Make sure to make reservations & there is plenty of parking.

Do not be fooled by plentiful reservations. You should still make a reservation, because otherwise you’ll have to sit outside in the 97 degree weather. That was our mistake. Anyway, I think all the food and drinks are overpriced but they’re above average. Not blow your mind good, but it’s definitely not bad. I had the seafood risotto. If I go back, I’ll get the poblano enchiladas. But $19 a cocktail is NYC prices, not Atlanta! They do validate parking which is great.

This was a #foodiefriday for the books at @patanegraatl it was such an amazing experience.

Here are some highlights:
🌟 3 hour validated free parking for restaurant guests.
🌟 Staff with intense and detailed knowledge of the food and drinks.
🌟 Amazing top tier customer service at all levels of the dinning experience.
🌟 Beautiful restaurant where you can identify someone thought about every detail of the dining experience.

What we ate:
Salsa Madre ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A spicy and sultry salsa. Probably the most rich and robust salsa we have had in Atlanta. The wood fired tortillas for the salsa were also an amazing bonus!!

Panucho de cochinita pibil ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Three fried corn masa panuchos, chiles secos, shredded pork, black beans, picked red onion.
This right here was heaven in your mouth. Someone braised this pork like it was the last supper!! This meat was like butter it was so tender, the accompanying details were just icing on a beautiful meat cake!!

Poblanos de Pollo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Three enchiladas, crema poblano, poblano peppers, red onion, Pollo crema, rice.
This was just beautiful the poblanos weren't over bearing but gave the dish a nice kick that you want. This was such a beautiful and tasty crema sauce. I wish all poblano dishes could be this magnificent!!

Drinks:
Cuna de Piedra ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This beautiful cocktail came in a bowl that the bestie had to hold with both hands. It included fresh orange and fruit slices in it.

Tarasco 1907 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Basically an old fashioned made with tequila and mushroom garnish. This drink was a whole show coming under a smoke bowl.... it did not disappoint in the least bit!!

Overall this was an amazing food experience. I'm convinced people who say Atlanta isn't an amazing good city just don't like international foods, because the international food scene in Atlanta gets better every year!! And this place is an example it's top teir, 5🌟, and somewhere we will visit again!!

Just amazing! The atmosphere here is beautiful. It is inviting yet sultry, perfect for date nights or dinner with friends.

The staff was both super friendly and helpful with their recommendations.

The food was an elevated embrace of traditional Mexican cuisine. The flavors did not disappoint and left you wanting to try the whole menu!

The dining experience at Pata Negra was exceptional. The highlight of our night was the kindness and warmth of our server, Jaz, and the hospitality of the manager David. We were greeted and seated quickly. The ambiance was incredible. Sexy, moody, dark, and warm. I loved the decor! It was apparent they have taken extra effort to pay attention to every detail - from the cutlery to the playing to the cocktail glasses. The food was EXQUISITE!! Nothing about the food was average. It was all authentic and delicious. We will certainly be back and recommend to all.
