The Iberian Pig

Fantastic Tapas!! The flavors are impeccable. Highly recommend going for their happy hour and getting their chef selected cheese and meat board (pictured) very affordable and filling. They recommend ordering 2-3 tapas per person if you’re looking at price. They had a pork dish (also pictured) that is literally melt in your mouth. It’s a staff favorite and I can see why! Make sure to make a reservation as it’s usually full and the bar is first come, first serve. Not cheap, but worth it for an occasional splurge or during happy hour!

The Iberian Pig was recommended by my boss as he said it was his favorite place to eat, and we were definitely not disappointed. We made an early evening reservation, and took advantage of the nice weather to sit out front and enjoy the scenery. The staff were super friendly and welcomed us as it was our first time and we were celebrating an important event. They even gave us a card at the end to celebrate with us! The happy hour is amazing prices and offerings. The food was unlike anything else I've had in Georgia so far, and we were very pleased! The tacos and the Rabbit was so flavorful and unique. We will definitely be back!

We had a party of 8 at 8:30 on a Saturday in April 2022. The inside is very dark. A lot of people had their phones out with flashlights on. Good for big groups too. They also have an upstairs. They also have outdoor seating. Park in a paid deck nearby. Our waiter was Matt, who was fabulous. Really took care of us. Got everything right. There were some dishes that knocked it out of the park, but there were others that left me very underwhelmed. I’ve had better tapas in Atlanta. Here’s what I tried, in order of preference: - Braised Veal Shank Ravioli ($12): Very good. Pretty universally everyone in my party’s favorite dish. - Coca con Seta ($13): This mushroom flatbread was *chef’s kiss*. - Coles Fritas ($11): Brussels sprouts done right. Not too oily. Perfectly crispy. Good flavor. - Blue Crab Croquetas ($14): Good, but 4 for $14?? - Empanadas de Carne ($10): Fine, could’ve used more flavor. - Mac n Cheese ($10): I love mac and cheese, and this one wasn’t as good as others I’ve had. - B.W.D. (Bacon Wrapped Dates) ($9): Good! - Broccolini ($10): The chèvre was a nice touch. - Hanger Steak ($18): Wouldn’t get again. - Pasta con Hongos ($16): Zero flavor. Expected more. - Patatas Bravas ($8): Potatoes needed to be crispy on the outside and they just weren’t. - Piquillos Rellenos ($14): Needed flavor and sauce. I tried 2 drinks: - Down the Rabbit Hole ($15): Thought it would be pretty, but the only pretty things were the ice cube and lavender stem. Wish it didn’t have the Cava in it. - Berry Good Thyme ($13): Looked like it was only half of a drink. Why not fill the glass all the way?? Wasn’t a fan of this drink either. I was expecting to like everything, but I was really only wowed by three of the dishes.

Delicious. Ok, so now the rest of the story. My wife and I eat here every time we visit Atlanta. It's a great Spanish tapas style restaurant. Make a reservation or hope you get a shot at the bar. If you get there between 5-7 it's happy hour. You get a deal on the charcuterie boards and drinks. The food is always delicious. The Mac and cheese is decadent, and the Lomo was so damn good.

I popped in to have a quick meal with a sorority sister. I mean, this place typically doesn't disappoint. I have only visited the Decatur location but I've only had positive experiences. The food comes out hot (or cold depending) every single time. I don't have to worry about variations in quality betweent visits. I had the huevos con trufa with extra toast. Always get extra toast. I also had the empanadas, which were new for me, and a glass of sangria. The empanadas were crispy, buttery, and flaky. The filling was well seasoned and I almost forgot there was sauce on the plate. The sangria started a bit watery but given it did have ice, I gave that first impression a pass because even if I packed up every morsel of food, I was going to finish my drink. My friend had the potatoes. She didn't care for the spice blend that was used but I feel the server described them very well. I, however, thought the Indian inspired spice blend was really good. So, in my experience, the waitstaff has been very helpful when I'm trying to choose something from the menu. One server described the cooking method for their pork medallion dish and the extra bit of detail he added saved him a return trip to the kitchen because I would have likely returned the slightly undercooked pork. Oh, if you're unsure of what to choose, a good charcuterie board won't fail you.
