Located at 314 East Howard Avenue, MAR, a new restaurant and tequila tasting room, will offer Atlanta fresh, simple and authentic fare from coastal Mexico.

An innovative menu, completed by executive Chef Joey Zelinka, offers an array of flavorful dishes, which include wood roasted fish and meats, coastal tacos and tostadas, cebiche, oysters and more. In addition to a range of premium seafood dishes, MAR offers an extensive tequila list, Spanish wines and sangria, as well as coastal specialty drinks such as mojitos, margaritas and micheladas.

“The idea for MAR emerged from a desire to bring coastal Mexico to Atlanta,” said Bermudez. “The food and the atmosphere are both fresh and inviting. We have worked hard to create a truly unique dining experience unlike any other and are excited to introduce Atlanta to a new style of cuisine from Mexico.”
