Atla, the Mexican restaurant by chef Enrique Olvera located at 372 Lafayette Street in NoHo, will close on Sunday, May 31. The restaurant has operated for nearly a decade in the same space near Great Jones Street. Atla was recognized for offering a more accessible price point compared to Olvera’s other New York establishment, Cosme, while still showcasing his culinary style.

Enrique Olvera is a prominent figure in contemporary Mexican cuisine, known internationally for his flagship restaurant Pujol in Mexico City. Atla served as an introduction to his cooking for a broader New York audience, balancing refined dishes with approachable pricing. The closure signals the end of this chapter in Olvera’s New York presence.

Atla’s departure comes amid ongoing shifts in the city’s dining landscape, affected by factors such as rising rents and changing consumer habits. The restaurant industry in New York continues to face challenges as it adapts to post-pandemic conditions.

Details about Olvera’s future plans in New York have not been disclosed. Atla’s closing leaves Cosme as his remaining restaurant in the city. Diners have until the end of May to visit the NoHo location before it shutters permanently.
