Chef Santiago Gómez (of Miami's Cantina La Veinte and Tacology) opened his first Atlanta restaurant at the King Plow arts complex in 2022 — modern Mexican over a wood-fired grill, built on Georgia ingredients, in a room Atlanta Magazine called the "sexiest scene in town." The cooking is real, but the energy is supper-club-forward: design, crowd, and a rooftop running its own program. Come for wood-grilled Mexican with the scene cranked up.
