Business Summary what's this?
For four star Mexican, try Nuevo Laredo Cantina in Atlanta. Here's a place to get good food. Located in the Northwest Atlanta neighborhood, this very affordable restaurant is one of the popular spots in the area. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This place features a full bar. This restaurant is good for groups.
Nuevo Laredo Cantina was opened in Summer of 1992 by owner Chance Evans. A lover of Mexico, its food and culture, he first brought authentic Mexican fare to Atlanta in the 1980s when he opened the U.S. Bar Y Grill. Evans opened Nuevo Laredo Cantina in its campy, off-the-beaten-path location with the sole intention of offering authentic, home-cooked Mexican food to the lunch patrons of the surrounding industries. But word quickly got around and before he knew it, the dinner crowd soon surpassed the already healthy lunch business. It only took a year before Nuevo Laredo Cantina won it's first ?Best of Atlanta? award by Atlanta Magazine. The restaurant has won this award (among others including the coveted ?Zagat Award of Distinction?) every year to date since then.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. I love the grilled chicken tacos served with lots of fresh cilantro and onion, yummy! The quarters are a bit squished, but it's worth the squeeze :)
