Food Review | No Mas Cantina Atlanta Valentine’s Day Menu Thursday 11 February, 2016
This Valentine’s Day, No Mas! Hacienda & Cantina is igniting passions with their exciting evening escape to Old Mexico, including a flavorful prix fixe menu curated by executive chef Melody Voirin, followed by the option to take home house-made chocolate truffles and .925 Mexican Silver. In Mexico, as in the United States, Valentine’s Day, or “El Día del Amor y la Amistad,” is an occasion to shower loved ones with declarations and expressions of love, passion and friendship. In honor of this tradition, No Mas! Hacienda & Cantina, located in Atlanta’s historic and art district of Castleberry Hill, is offering a specially-curated menu inspired by the flavors and passions of Mexico.
As the foodie you know I am now, I really enjoyed this Mexican version of Valentine’s Day. Sometimes the Lobster and Steak Meal can be a little cliche, so this was a great mix up. All of the meals was made with love and true authentic Mexican upscale cuisine to indulge in with a love one. Exotic and sensual meals to make this holiday a memorable one!

In the artisan market we took a little tour where there were lots of little treasures, gems, gifts and more. We were even surprised to pick out our own Mexican silver ring that went with the Valentine Meal. I picked out this pretty heart of course, thats an extra sweet gesture! Love it!

I would go there just for that dessert alone. That looks like it would’ve been a very nice Valentines meal too bad I don’t live in Atlantic side love to try it out.
Oh my goodness, that guac, those desserts! I never have had Mexican food for Valentine’s Day. We’ve been together 20 years, so we leave the “Day” for young people. I’d rather go out a few days earlier or later to avoid the crowds. And we’re romantic every day. 🙂
The food looks awesome. Definitely perfect for people who love mexican food and would like to unwind. I love the whole look of the place as well. Thanks for sharing this review!

Wow! This looks like a dream come true! I love Mexican food and throw in some jewelry? Yes please! I love how they made the hearts in the tortillas as well, what a nice touch!
