Nuevo Laredo Cantina, Mexican restaurant in Buckhead, Atlanta, US
Nuevo Laredo Cantina is a Mexican restaurant in the Westside neighborhood of Atlanta, serving traditional dishes including tacos, enchiladas, and tamales. The kitchen uses fresh ingredients and follows classic preparation methods, and the drink menu covers both Mexican and other options.
The restaurant was founded with the goal of bringing traditional Mexican cooking to Atlanta, staying close to classic techniques from the beginning. Over the years it built a steady following in the city and is now one of the older Mexican dining spots in the area.
The walls are covered with hand-painted murals and decorated with textiles and objects brought from different parts of Mexico. Sitting inside feels less like a standard restaurant and more like a room that someone put together with care and personal knowledge of the country.
The restaurant sits in the Westside area of Atlanta and is easy to reach by car, with parking available nearby. Waits are common on weekends and during peak dinner hours, so arriving early is a good idea.
Every table receives house-made tortilla chips and salsa at the start of the meal, prepared fresh in the kitchen each day. The bar carries over 50 different tequila labels, which makes it one of the larger tequila selections you will find at a restaurant in Atlanta.
