    We had an excellent meal at Alma Cocina. We started with Bison empanadas which were delicious. We had pork tacos and the market fish which was in a creamy coconut sauce. Our waitress was very friendly and responsive. The prices are reasonable for a nice restaurant.

    Just not what it once was. Food was at best fair; service was bad. Not a good experience.

    Delicious tacos. An excellent martini. Perfectly done steak. I'm just a bit disappointed that the kitchen refused to make me a 1/2 salad. It's a very good salad, just too big, and I really wanted something light and fresh to have before my steak. Seems a shame you don't want to make that sale.

    The service was good but slow. The restaurant noise was so high that we could not hear the server or have a conversation. The prices were very high and the food does not match the cost. The salsa's -had a strong BBQ sauce taste which was not appealing to me. This restaurant was extremely loud, overpriced and the food was not great- especially for the price paid! I do not recommend.
    Alma Cocina - DowntownResponded on 2 October 2026
    Hi Rhonya, We're sorry your visit fell short of expectations. We are glad the staff were friendly, but we understand the slow service and the very loud dining room made conversation difficult. Thank you for calling out the pricing and the salsa's strong barbecue flavor — that detail is helpful. We appreciate you taking the time to share this. It would still be great to talk more about your visit. Please call me at the restaurant whenever you can, 404-968-9662. -Michele

    Consistently good food, fast, friendly service, a little on pricey side ...easy in/out when you are downtown...feels more like casual than fine dining.
    Alma Cocina - DowntownResponded on 2 October 2026
    Hi Steve, Thank you for the thoughtful review. We are glad you enjoy our consistently good food, fast service, and friendly team, and that our location makes downtown visits easy. I am curious why you decided on 3 stars and it would be great to chat about it. Call me at the restaurant if you would like to give us any more feedback, 404-968-9662. -Michele
