Willy's Mexicana Grill

About

This family-run operation turns out regional Mexican cooking that moves well beyond the usual suspects, with the kitchen drawing on techniques and flavors from coastal seafood traditions and inland mole preparations that require patience and skill. The counter-service setup and modest dining room reflect the priorities here—resources go into sourcing and technique rather than ambiance, and the mezcal selection suggests someone behind the operation understands that spirit as more than a gimmick. Atlanta's Mexican food landscape improves considerably with places that respect the depth and regional specificity of the cuisine rather than homogenizing it.
