Noche- Highlands

One of my FAV restaurants in ATL’s awesome restaurant scene! You have to try the Cucumber Tostadas, Lobster Taco, and the Fried Chicken! Simply the BEST!!!

Love Noche! We sat outside, and even though it was a hot day, the roof and fans made it enjoyable.
Started with the queso — it was delicious. I guess it’s tough for queso to not be delicious.
I ordered the BBQ salmon and everyone else had quesadillas. I love the salmon — it’s the perfect size and has great flavor. The quesadillas are a higher quality than your typical Mexican food place. They are so good.
I want to come back and try everything on the menu!

Great place for tapas at a reasonable price. The last time I was there the service wasn’t great — my boyfriend’s food didn’t come out until I was done with mine, and then the server took forever to bring our check. But usually the service is decent. The Brookhaven location has half-​price tacos on Mondays (and I’m pretty sure the VaHi location does too).

Although this this spot is for tapas their portions are quite good. Pretty much everything on the menus is good so you I will be coming back to try more items. The bartenders pour great drinks I suggest the Texas (Grand Gold Margarita) everything is pretty much priced under $ 10!!!

Very expensive. Very loud and not much seating so may have to wait. I ordered the fried chicken and I wasn’t too impressed. The paella was okay, sauce was different. But the Holy Guacamole was amazing! Queso, guacamole and salsa in one bowl! We ordered two! Drinks were very good and strong but pricey. They did have a special of $ 5 sangria. Wait staff was great: always checking up and clearing our table. Was not expecting to pay $ 40 for one person though…

Well. I’m never going back to Noche after last night. My friends and I walked in, and were treated absolutely terribly by a worker who was drinking at the bar, presumably off the clock.
We walked in through a door that was already propped wide open, and this man at the bar then berated us for leaving the door open. As we waited at the host stand, he continued to harass us saying we were wasting air conditioning, and that we had no manners. As soon as we realized he was an employee, we left. He was the only employee that we had any contact with, despite many of his coworkers being around to witness his behavior. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

A shout out to the host… for finding us after being put on a 45 minute wait. We told him we’d be down the street for a cocktail. Little did we know we were in a cell void and he came all the way over to hunt us down and let us know our table was ready! You won us over! But, the food was pretty darn good as well! There were 5 of us so we ordered a bit of everything to try along with quite a few $ 5. margaritas.

Took the kids and it was a hit. They loved the Queso and Noche Nachos. The wife and I enjoyed the Tacos, shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes. Sat out on the patio and enjoyed the breeze And service. We will be back.

There was a public hair in my food. It was awful service. Gggggggggggejjdenbdnebdbehfhehfhjehfjrjfjrjfjrjrjejrjrjjrjrjrjrjrjjdjdjdjxbdjddjswkskjdnejfhrjfjehdhehfjehfjejfiejfjejrjejdheibdejenns.

I’ve been here too many times to count now that we live in the neighborhood.
There are so many things to love about this place.
— Location & ambiance — plenty of free valet parking in the back, easy to walk to if you live in the «hood», awesome bar with 2 TV screens, back patio, and fun environment
— Great drinks, awesome bartenders, and you can’t beat $ 2 Tecate on Monday
— Monday night Taco special — $ 2 –you can literally walk out of this place for $ 10 stuffed and with a beer
— Fantastic Nachos — we love them — they are awesome!!!
— My favorite tacos in town so far. Each has a unique flavor and taste and I love that I can get them in a lettuce wrap versus a shell. The best ones are Shrimp Tacos and Trailer Park Tacos
Anyway, I love this place and we’ve been avid fans for over 2 years now and this place is consistently great!

Good food, especially when you go on $ 2 taco night and the tacos are only $ 2! Sangria is delicious. Food always comes out really fast. Otherwise, service however can be hit or miss… sometimes it’s great, other times, you wonder if they left. Overall, I can take spotty service for good food and tasty sangrias.

I’m speechless at how much I love this place thanks to my dear friend for suggesting a great girls night venue. The blackened fish tacos and veggie tacos are a must if they sound appetizing to you. The fish taco was extremely fresh tasting and the slaw and special sauce they top the tacos with is soo good. The veggie taco was delicious as well.
You can get full on 2 tacos if you’re a slimmer female, but I think guys would be good with 3 tacos or more than 2 tapas.
I also had the house sangria and it was meh but for 5 $ you can’t really complain it came in a big glass which I had a hard time finishing but I did and I got tipsy! Lol it did its job!
Five star tacos seriously the best tacos I’ve had in life so far.

We hit Noche regularly for Monday night $ 2 Tacos and Tecates, They recently started offering Tacos on a lettuce wrap (vs tortilla) which is great for those watching their carbs. The shrimp, steak and trailer park tacos are the best. Carne asada and pork are ok… Getting away from the tacos — their nachos are some of the best around. Loaded with chii, queso, lettuce and tomatoes… yummy.
Service is consistently good.
The only thing that i would recommend they do is give the place a good cleaning, esp the bathroom…

A few weeks ago, my friend and I spent an entire day eating/​drinking at Decatur. This time, we decided to take our adventure to Virginian Highlands.
First stop, Noche.
We ordered the sangria pitcher with chips and guac.
The sangria was alright, nothing really special about it. I felt as if there weren’t enough fruit pieces in the drink and it felt a bit watered down with all the ice in it.
The chips and guac were great however. The 2 salsas in addition to the guac were all very fresh and refreshing.
Ambience is casual. I noticed they have a deck in the back but it was packed so we had to sit indoors. Nothing stood out to me greatly but I’d be open to return in the future to try some of their tapas.

I have been coming to Noche in the Highlands for about four years. Overall, this is a great casual spot.
I generally sit at the bar where Mark and the other bartender (can’t think of his name) are great and attentive. They are super friendly and will get you whatever you need.
The food is good casual tapas, nothing fancy, but gets the job done. The trio dip is delicious and filling, tacos never disappoint and entrees I have tried have always been good.
I wish there were a few more televisions at the bar, but it forces me to converse with strangers.

I’m legitimately surprised this place doesn’t have a better rating. I just moved here from Chicago, which has fantastic food, so I have higher standards for my meals.
The Food:
Salt and Pepper Calamari — Comes with fried jalapeños! I have my favorite calamari spots around the country, this just made the list. The sauce was perfectly paired.
Queso Fundido — Has anyone ever not liked queso?
Chicken Empanada — I typically steer away from chicken because it all tastes the same to me. This was definitely a switch up. A very flaky crust, packed full of flavor.
Steamed Mussels — The best sauce! We asked for more bread just for dipping. Bottle that up and sell it to me, please.
Fried Green Tomatoes — Whatever the sauce drizzled on top is, it’s perfect. A nice change up on a delicious classic.
I actually enjoyed every single part of this meal. Not one item lacked; I can’t even pick a favorite. Enjoy it all!
The Drink: Caipirinha. Every time I have these, I ended up in a great mood with a terrible hangover. Regardless, they’re delicious and I can drink them like apple juice.
Run here! It’s cute inside too!

A quick note: I am not a fan of the ‘star’ grading system. If there were partial stars, I would give them between a 3.75 — 4.18 stars.
Noche is one of the best-​known tapas bars in Midtown. Located next to Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, it has the best of location, fanfare, energy, food, and service. This tapas bar is the Tardis of tapas bars. The atmosphere wanders between the casual and the trendy. On the outside, you wonder if you have to wait a few hours for the bar to clear, bit after a quick step inside you see that the seating extends towards the back and into a patio for additional seating.
The service is quick and friendly and you do not have to wait too long during their most busier hours. The food is fantastic. There menu is quite extensive and the portions are are generous enough to share. The menu pricing is great and they have a few drink specials rolling throughout the week. Be sure to make a reservation via Open Table if you have a good idea on your party size and time.
Try the Spinach-​and-​Arugula Salad and then move to the Chicken Empanada and Applewood-​Smoked Bacon-​Wrapped Dates. Simply fantastic.
Noche is a must-​see, must-​eat. You will not be disappointed.

As John B. put it: Noche is good people.
I love this place. It has one of my favorite back patios and a sort of romantic casual vibe. I usually come here just to grab drinks and enjoy the patio.
If I’m getting food I’m usually getting a taco or 2… all are great. For sharing, their salads are nice and light but if you are really feelin’ it go for the Holy Guacamole. Just do it.

Noche can easily be overlooked as part of the Highlands scene, but in many ways this restaurant is the glue that holds it together. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve started here and ended up at Fontains or Highland Tap, and all within walking distance.
The tacos here have always been delicious, as have the $ 2 Tecate special (with lime). Sangria should flow from the heavens and I’ve bet you never seen this place so packed when a sports game is on.
Noche is good people.

One of my favorite Sunday chill out spots. I always start with the fried lobster tail and the fresh house made sangria. The chef specials are usually good also. Tonight’s special was grilled Mahi Mahi. It was deliciously prepared and tasty.

Parking was confusing at first but that’s every restaurant in Atlanta
I was confused how to get to the restaurant itself and so was my friend. Somehow I walked up a flight of stairs and passed through everyone that was dining there… awkward. My friend was lucky enough to find a different set of stairs which saved her some embarrassment but not much prior to her looking for a set of stairs to walk up. Maybe if there were signs indicating where to meet the host and be seated, things would be less confusing.
Service was nice. Very friendly and attentive.
Food was pretty good. I had the shrimps and grits which was amazing. My friend ordered the calamari and let me tell you… that was THE BEST fried calamari I’ve ever had. It does not even compare to Pappadeaux version. That dish alone will encourage me to go back.
Setting was very nice and romantic shall I say.
