Alma Cocina

Chef Chad Clevenger of Alma Cocina - Atlanta, GA

Atlanta may be head honcho when it comes to all things pickled, porkified, and otherwise Southern. But if you are in the mood for some traditional Mexican food, Alma Cocina is the place to go. That's because Chef Chad Clevenger packs some serious knowledge when it comes to Southwestern cuisine—he spent several years learning the ins-and-outs of chilies, spices, and posole and tamale recipes. Choose your setting from the gorgeous turn-of-the-century chic atrium or the ranch-style interior of the restaurant (complete with stamped leather floor, cacti, and dark, rich detailing). Just be prepared to get comfortable; you're going to want to fill up on Clevenger's menu of tacos and traditional huaraches, along with Alma's impressive tequila collection.
