Blu Cantina
/Atlanta is such a versatile city. I found a dope "Latin American Fusion" spot by the name of Blu Cantina, I feel everyone should visit them. From the outside of the restaurant you see the lively art on the building's walls. The vibe inside is mixed with a DJ booth, some space, a bar, and booths with a few tables inside and out. The food is great and they have a sweet variety and great prices. Music may make you change from a light bounce in your seat to a sweet stand up twerk... balance.
My go to drink at Blu Cantina every single time will be the Henessey Margarita. Now I know that Margarita is associated with tequila, but this cognac in there will give you a new outlook. Ask your server about a pitcher if you are 21.
I went to Blu Cantina a few times while in Atlanta this last trip. My official introduction was with Kirstie and we had a nice array of delicious finger food. We started off with the ultimate sampler. You can always mix up the options, but we chose some golden chicken empanadas with a light chipolte kick drizzled over top, the veggie filled southwest egg rolls and the queso to dip it all in.
Next were the flavorful variety in tacos that we had. We had a tender brisket taco, I had a fried fish taco with some nice hints of mango in it, a grilled shrimp taco that also has some great mango slaw, Kirstie had a surf and turf taco which has brisket and shrimp in it. All of these we ate with rice and beans. I also went back a couple other times, added wings, fries and other things I stated above. All of it was so filling and flavorful.
And of course I had a few churros after dinner because a meal is not complete if desert is not present.

I appreciate everyone that catered to me and my friends in Blu Cantina. My sister and favorite server Diamond works here and she is a gem to say the least. Everyone here from the boss Gally (G) to the cooks are all welcoming and on point. I can always appreciate black owned businesses flourishing. Hope this establishment continues to grow and kick ass everyday. As I finish typing this I wish I was able to down a Hennessy Margarita and a chicken empanada, just a quick pick me up snack is all. I hope you all enjoy this chilled restaurant lounge next time you're in the A. I am glad to be back in the writing wave, I appriciate ya'll continued support and patience.
