Low key, very good food, helpful wait staff, friendly atmosphere. Nicely set if you're visiting the Atlanta Aquarium, or staying in the Hilton Garden.
Awesome food. We found this place when walking and decided to try it out. They have a tex mex Cajun menu with complimentary chips and salsa. We had the chicken enchilada and shrimp creole with a side of jambalaya. The portions were huge. The jambalaya was superb and full of flavor. They do not have a lot of seating and you might encounter a wait, but the food is well worth it. Highly recommend
The food was ok, my family and I were really intrigued to try a Mexican/Creole restaurant but were ultimately not impressed. The staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing, though our waitress was very nice and polite, and it was hard to even find because the cantina downstairs was closed and there was no sign where to go. If it wasn’t for another group also looking for the same thing none of us would have been eating there. There are plenty of other places to go and eat so I suggest maybe trying those.
Excellent restaurant! I sat at the full-service bar and had a very tasty Hurricane and some delicious jambalaya. The staff was friendly and a manager even stopped to introduce herself and ask me what I was reading (I was by myself) and we chatted about books briefly. I would definitely make a return trip next time I'm in the area.
The food is delicious and the bartender amazing.
Food was ok, nothing exciting. The chicken tenders were extremely dry and close to inedible. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend.
I love Cajun, Creole, and Mexican food.Dos Bocas is the best of all three. The Etouffee was amazing.
They only open half the restaurant on weekdays and therefore have very limited space. It seems apparent that they are struggling to find an adequate number of quality staff. We waited a very long time to be seated and attended to. That being said, the food was actually very good. I recommend the enchilada verdes. But just order it take out...
food isn't tasty at all. portions of meats are laughable. just go to any other Mexican restaurant around. not even the nachos had melted cheese (chesse dip) and to upgrade your chicken to steak was $10 for 4 little pieces of steak. will not be back
My husband and I touched down today at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 6:40 p.m. on Thursday, April 28. Excited and giddy for our first flight since 2019, we had high expectations for our first meal in Atlanta. Opting to skip airport food in lieu of a local restaurant where we could relax with a drink and a nice meal after dropping off our bags. We snaked our way through the dizzying labyrinth corridor to Rideshare Zone 7, and we were picked up by a friendly Uber driver who whisked us to our hotel downtown within 17 minutes: the Hilton Garden Inn. Leading up to this trip that we booked in January, we were so excited to learn our hotel faced the venue for the hotly-anticipated Sweetwater 420 Festival including a restaurant with a bar. What we learned the moment we stepped into our hotel room at 7:45 p.m. was that this restaurant, Dos Bocas, closes at 9 p.m. and so we rushed downstairs to get our meal and drinks. This was turning out to be not as relaxed as we had hoped it would be. At 8 p.m. we were seated by a relatively friendly hostess, and within 5 minutes we had a generous basket of chips and salsa from a person who was not our server. We waited for 15 minutes to place a drink order until my husband asked a young man walking by if he was a server and if we could place a drink order, please. The young man turned out to be the shift manager and was very friendly and promptly took our drink order. By 8:20, I ordered water and my husband ordered a draft Tecate, and we also ordered our meals. My water appeared within 2 minutes but my husband’s beer, poured by the bartender, sat on the bar for 10 minutes. Watching the time tick by, it was well after 8:30, no beer, and I watched multiple people attempt to enter the restaurant but the hostess and busser informed all new guests that the kitchen was closed. No one was treated with special privilege. Extreme prejudice to all who tried to enter, including an exhausted young mother holding a newborn while her husband steered a toddler in a stroller. A table who came in after we got their food before ours. I watched the busser girl sitting and chatting with the hostess, and other staff were preoccupied with their phones. I watched a group of festival attendees come in shortly after us get seated, only to walk out in frustration, which is what we should have also done. My husband finally got his first beer at 8:35, which he quickly drank. My gumbo arrived at 8:45 but no meal for my husband. The young man who was hastily assigned to be our server by the shift managed then announced there was a mixup, asked my husband what did he order, and it was at that moment when when my husband told the server to forget it and just get him one more beer because we are closing out. The only highlight of this abysmal experience was that the server only charged us for one beer, not even my too-spicy-to-eat gumbo was charged. This restaurant needs a complete overhaul of staff, and there was a missed opportunity by hotel and restaurant management to not plan to stay open an extra hour to accommodate the music festival attendees arriving late from the airport. P.S. the chips and salsa were OK.
