UPDATE (Oct. 31, 2016): Mi Cocina Midtown Abruptly Shutters.
Texas-based Tex-Mex restaurant Mi Cocina is making final preparations to open its Midtown location.
The restaurant submitted two building permit applications with City of Atlanta to make commercial alterations to its south facing corner space, at 11th and Peachtree Street, in the 12th and Midtown development.
Mi Cocina is spending an estimated $1.5 million to build the 8,800-square-foot space including an outdoor seating area and mezzanine, according to one of the building permit applications.
“Mi Cocina’s design will complement the modern architecture boasting an urban and polished feel in a warm, high energy environment,” a Mi Cocina spokesman said in a statement to What Now Atlanta Tuesday.
The two-level restaurant has 265 seats, including a 40-seat bar with banquettes, tables and bar stools and two private dining rooms.

Can’t wait for it to open
That intersection is going to be so much livelier soon, with both Mi Cocina and Cafe Intermezzo slated to open across from one another! Can’t wait!
I want more Chuy’s. The one at Perimeter is a mess to get to.
Whew, more mexican food, thank God…
Chuy’s is terrible. It’s too kitschy.
Apparently the budget sketch artist they hired doesn’t know how to use a straightedge. I get nauseous just looking at the first drawing.
Chuy’s is cheap. I can ignore the clutter if the food is better than Casa Grande and half the price. Plus I gotta feed all my babies.
There can never be enough Mexican places. Tequila fixes all. Especially ugly people.
The renderings are sketchy at best; however, I have been to several of their restaurants and they are always beautifully designed. I can’t wait for a Mambo Taxi and some barbacoa tacos!
the renderings look like a child’s coloring book, except drawn worse.
if they are taking shortcuts there, what else will be sacrificed?
This rendering looks quite similar to Dolce did in Atlantic Station.
