Botica
CL: CL’s Cliff Bostock Recommends: If you’re looking for Mexican food partly spiked with Italian, Spanish, and Lebanese flavors in a restaurant with countless sports-watching screens and an awesome patio, this is your best destination. Opened by Chef Mimmo Alboumeh, the former owner of Red Pepper Taqueria, the restaurant’s best choice by far is the paella
served at dinner on Wednesdays. Among the best tacos are lamb birria and the pork pibil. If you want a starter to share, consider the gigantic and dramatic tamales coated in white crema, sitting in a pool of salsa morita. You can drink a lot here. - CB
Website: Chef Mimmo opened the doors of Botica in 2021, inspired by the flavors of Spain and Mexico offering elevated, chef-driven Mexican cuisine. Located in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Botica showcases Mimmo’s unique brand of hybrid gastronomy.
