Looking for a New Mexican Restaurant?

May 23, 2008

Well, if you are, then get ready for this one. Opening the first week of June by Kristen and Michael Benoit of The Vortex Bar and Grill fame, this Mexican restaurant is going to kick some butt. Touted as an authentic Mexican eatery, the Bone Garden Cantina is inside the Lumber Yard Complex off of Ellsworth Industrial Blvd. The full service restaurant will serve tamales, sopas, enchiladas, an array of salads, and so so much more.

The “Day of the Dead” theme is festive and pretty darn amazing. I can’t even explain it, but basically there are life size skeleton statues, huge paintings and murals on the walls, and a fabulous star on the ceiling above. My crap description does not give it justice, but I am telling you, the art work (most done by Michael himself) is pretty fantastic. (Picture below of the huge mural above the bar.)

So, come and visit - after all the West Side is growing and this will be the new place to go for really good inexpensive Mexican food and margaritas in Atlanta.

Went to BGC yesterday for lunch - was awesome - the food, salsa, and special drinks all tasted really fresh (usually you get the canned salsa crap at other places). Both Michael and Kristen were working hard! The restaurant is on the southside of the lumberyard with the entrance inside the complex - we saw the giant skeleton out front but took us a few minutes to find the entrance.
