Best Nica food in Atlanta! My wife and I ate here and it was amazing! My wife is also from Nicaragua and said the food was very authentic. We had the carne asada and the pollo jalapeño and everything was cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Honestly had a great experience on my visit. Service was great and the place was clean with nice tables that have pictures plastered all over of Nicaragua.
I had the Salpicon and honestly fell in love with everything on my plate. I picked at my friend’s plate as well and all had great flavor. I went on a slower day but I know on weekends they have live music so will definitely come back and check them out again then.

Exploring new foods and came across this restaurant. I can’t judge the authenticity of the Nicaraguan food, but I can say that it was delicious and portions were generous. The service was outstanding and the place was clean. I got some adobo pork dish and my friend got a Nicaraguan pork tamale. The price was more than I was expecting but still reasonable for what you get.

Lets dive in…The price: I noticed several reviews talking about the cost of the plates. I want to say that as a Nicaraguan in Atlanta coming from Miami, you definitely cannot expect to spend the $10-$15 per plate of “La Fritanga”. This is a rare gem, and should be treated as such. Locally we only have 3 Nicaraguan restaurants, and this is as close to Managua you will get. If you have sent packages from Atlanta to managua or vice versa you would know transportation and import cost is high, the Picos are authentic, rosquillas galore, and Milca, cant forget the Milca…Let’s dive into the food. Not sure if its because flavors very per regions in my country, but as a Managuan born, the food held up to that of my home city. DELICIOUS, portions are perfect, and the cacao was large (about 20oz) with great flavor. The Vibe: many stated that the music was loud, I would say walking in I felt i stepped into a restaurant in Nicaragua itself… So ora dinamita played in the background, bringing beautiful memories of my visits to my hometown.The waiter was superb, Aida was courteous, a sense of “La tia chilo. If you are Nicaraguan you will understand my statement. I had zero complaints and Hope the restaurants continues to grow and spread our culture.

Tried their grilled chicken with a side of queso frito and their carne asada. The chicken was amazing. The carne asada was a bit dry for my taste but seasoned well nonetheless.
The music was a bit too loud, making it impossible to have a conversation with the person sitting next to me.
Service was good.
Will definitely go back when visiting this side of town.

This was a bit of a drive for my cousin and I but we enjoyed the food. There was nothing left to take back( we ate it all). We were craving Hispanic food and all the places close by were closed but we decided to give this place a try. The ladies(servers) are so pleasant and even gave me samples of their mixed juices. I had the carne asada w gallo pinto, sweet plantains, fried cheese and shredded cabbage. I tried their arroz con pina and chicha( native juices)…both good but I preferred the arroz con pina. I wanted dessert but I barely walked out of there. I was so full and satisfied. Thank you.

For a Nicaraguan person, is really difficult to find a decent place to eat Nicaraguan food in Atlanta but this place is great. They have many different Nicaraguan food and candies, beers and even souvenirs. I recommend to visit in the weekdays because in the weekends the food is different idk why.

Ordered the carne asada with gallo pinto, tajadas, fried cheese, and ensalada de repollo for takeout the other day. Not sure if they give away their bad food to those who get takeout, but it was really disappointing. The tajadas were extremely thin and oily. The carne asada was overcooked, dried out. It seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The gallo pinto lacked flavor and the rice:bean ratio was off. They also don’t give you as much gallo pinto as you would get from a fritanga in Miami – and they charge more. It was about $16 for the meal and typically fritanga costs $12-$14. The ensalada de repollo also lacked flavor but felt like it was good quality. The only thing that was good was the fried cheese. The ladies working were very nice and welcoming, but the food is not good – at least for takeout. I’m sure dining in is probably better. Personally would not eat here again.

Worst customer service everrrrr. Food came out cold, we asked for it to be warmed up and the waitress with the bleached blonde hair literally declined. I was excited to finally find a “Nicaraguan restaurant “ and Now so disappointed. I’m headed sabores de mi Tierra a restaurant with great customer service. We couldn’t even finish our foods.

The food was good. Good music playing. I ordered maduros and they give me plátano frito instead. Also they tried to charge me $2.50 for queso Frito which I didn’t order or eat. I had the pollo asado with ensalada and plátanos fritos. The total was like $14 but on the receipt, the suggested 15% tip was $4! 15% of $14 is not $4! Definitely shady. Make sure you review your bill.
