It’s unlikely we’ll live to see the day when a Grant Park restaurant has valet service and a grass wall photo op, but Birdcage has feather-plumed chandeliers and frozen cocktails, and that’s not nothing. Not to mention, only the rack of agave lime ribs and a whole (delicious) chicken adobo cost more than 15 bucks. And they both come with grilled tortillas. This is a not-boring Latin lunch or dinner option that you’ll probably want to return to, again and again. In contrast with the well-manicured, fenced-in lawns in the neighborhood, Birdcage’s decor is bizarre, bordering on garish. The feather-dressed chandeliers, birdcage lighting fixtures, and giant wallpapered accent wall are admittedly a lot (the theme is birds, we get it). But it’s a nice change of pace when you're looking for lively food in a lively enough space. And it’s rarely over-crowded—we’ve never seen the bar here four-deep waiting for strawberry margaritas—so you can walk right in without a wait. Come here with people who get excited to eat because the food is the main attraction, and you’re going to want to order family-style. Start with the small stuff. Hopefully a few starters, but consider the black bean croquettes dipped in whipped queso fresco—it’s non-negotiable. Then, that whole chicken should be on your table along with the array of six sauces that help charred, citrusy meat pop a little more. There are plenty of solid Latin spots in Atlanta, like Alma Cocina and Alta Toro, but this flamboyant spot in Grant Park is a realistic addition to your regular dinner roster because it's top-notch without being top dollar.
