Staff were amazing and very knowledgeable. Very good for gluten free options, however, if you cannot handle spicy, then this may not be your best place. Lots of pre made so we could not eat the guacamole or many other dishes.

Always come here when we come to Mart. Skip the guacamole (it’s good but it special) and go for a couple tapas plates like octopus or the mushroom empanada. The corn esquites are a must have as a table side! I had the signature pork tacos which were excellent. Mercedes was a fantastic server, cheerful, pleasant, and attentive without being overbearing. She was what all restaurants hope for in a server. Wish we could have had the choice of a booth since we were first to arrive on opening up and had a reservation established for months. We asked but hostess declined the request and said it was “stopped”. No one sat in the booths during our entire visit. Overall, we love Alma and will continue to make a point of stopping here. You should, too!

Alma Cocina was up for the task when our "energetic" family descended upon this lovely restaurant space in downtown Atlanta. With three children and the rest adults in our party, we were made welcome and comfortable, our servers attentive and helpful. Our menu selections were "most" of the excellent offerings, a nice fresh take on Mexican fare. It was a fine evening.

They have many dishes and drinks we weren’t familiar with, but all was excellent from appetizers through to desserts.

We loved our server! She made our meal and experience so wonderful. The food was great and there are a lot of options. They seem to have a lot of gluten free options on the menu but I was discouraged to see they don't list vegetarian or vegan options on the menu (very common for Mexican restaurants). Our server was able to help us amend a variety of options to make them vegan though. She was very helpful.
