I bought Travelzoo coupons for my husband, myself and 2 other couples. We like trying new restaurants in the ATL area. I went on tripadvisor and read some of the comments made and I was kind of regretting purchasing the ticket but we went anyway. Our waiter RJ was fantastic and as soon as we told him we had travelzoo... More

We are Taqueria Tsunami fans, so nowhere quite matches up to their tacos - but Escorpion tries hard. We were lucky to get Johnell as our server, who is fanastic, knowledgeable and seems to really enjoy what he does. The margaritas are excellent, and they even managed a good mojito - really not a bad place for a pre-theatre bite. More

This has been my second visit to this establishment and might I add my absolute last! I walked in with my family and was horribly greeted by a hostess.No smile, no warmth, nothing! We got to our table and our waiter was even worse.👎 It was not busy so you can't blame it on that. It was the middle of... More

Went on a Friday night and it was very crowded. The table wait was 45 minuntes so we sat at the bar and it was the seat in the hosue. This place is very vibrant and the bartenders are folks who definitely know how to make your night memorable. The margaritas are strong and great tasting. Definitely a melting pot... More

This was the second time I visited Escorpion. Upon arrival the Manager was rather rude and abrupt, something quite unusual considering Atlanta establishments usually offer southern hospitality. The welcome is very important. The maragaritas were great, potent and delicious, kudos to the mixologist. The fajitas, quesadillas and ceviches are remarkably good. The server was either brand new or timid and... More

Met up with an old friend and had a good time. The tuna and watermelon ceviche was delicious and I highly recommend it, as well as the salsa that came with the chips. I had the Grilled Fish Tacos which are covered in a light cole slaw. The cabbage had a little crunch, which went well with the tender fish...very... More

Escorpian is a great midtown restaurant to go to with a group of friends/family or before going to "The Fox" for a show. The decor is inviting, and the atmosphere is casual and fun. I loved the ceviches! Try the tuna and watermelon! Chips come with a smokey salsa, and the advocada dip was delicious. The tacos are small, and... More

We went to Escorpion before going to see "Wicked" at the Fox Theater. We were hoping to have a couple of margaritas and eat a bite before the show. Imagine our surprise when we found that while they have an extensive tequila menu, they didn't have the margaritas that we were hoping for. The salsa and chips were great. We... More

Took my 23 year old daughter here for her birthday, with my wife and my daughter's bf. NOT your typical Mexican fare - everything is top notch gourmet quality, from the sushi-grade raw ceviches appitizers to the basmati rice (instead of tradtional white rice.) They also have an amazing selection of premium tequilas, and you can get tequila 'flights' like... More
