Atla, chef Enrique Olvera’s Noho Mexican restaurant, will close on Sunday, May 31, after nearly a decade at 372 Lafayette Street, at Great Jones Street. Atla was the restaurant that made Olvera’s cooking available to a broader audience — not cheap, exactly, but considerably less than his other acclaimed New York restaurant, Cosme.

Olvera and his Casamata hospitality group will turn the space into a new restaurant opening this fall. Details are forthcoming, according to a spokesperson.

“We’ve had fun on this corner for nearly a decade,” says Olvera through a spokesperson, “and have been lucky enough to watch the neighborhood grow and evolve with us. We’re not going anywhere, but it’s time for our next chapter.” Casamata is behind Pujol in Mexico City, Damian and Ditroit Taqueria in Los Angeles, and Criollo in Oaxaca, among others.

The all-day spot, which opened in 2017, was a restaurant where, as Olvera said, people could “just call it home.” With his then-right-hand chef at the helm, Daniela Soto-Innes, Atla became a neighborhood fixture where diners were drawn to its tortillas, salsas, aguachiles, and lobster burrito.

Former critic Pete Wells gave Atla two stars in the New York Times, calling it “one of the least divisive restaurants Manhattan has seen in some time.”  Former Eater critic Ryan Sutton was also taken, calling the tacos “an act of high-wire balance,” and the $22 chicken cutlet a flat-out buy. “I’ve probably been back to Atla more than any other restaurant I’ve reviewed in the past year,” Sutton wrote.

Through the end of May, Atla will run specials of greatest hits, including the aguachile negro and lobster burrito, alongside the regular menu.
