One of the great mysteries of life in Atlanta is how so many people seem to find their way six nights a week to the desolate stretch of Chattahoochee that is home to NUEVO LAREDO.

Come early or late - waits can be tedious. In-towners are eagerly awaiting the opening of a second location in Inman Park. “1495 Chattahoochee Ave. 404-352-9009. www.nuevolaredocantina.com.less...

1495 Chattahoochee Ave. 404-352-9009 http://www.nuevolaredocantina.com This restaurant is an obvious labor of love for its owner. Located in a cottage on the outer edge of a warehouse district near Buckhead, it is pure lovable kitsch, with a menu of Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine that packs the crowds in night after night. The chicken mole is our favorite, but you can’t go wrong with anything you choose. less...
