Atla, the Mexican restaurant operated by chef Enrique Olvera, will close on Sunday, May 31. The restaurant has been located at 372 Lafayette Street, near Great Jones Street in Noho, since it opened nearly a decade ago. Atla offered a more accessible price point compared to Olvera’s other New York establishment, Cosme, while still showcasing his distinct culinary style.

Olvera, a chef known for his contemporary approach to Mexican cuisine, initially opened Atla to reach a broader audience. The restaurant earned recognition for its thoughtful dishes and approachable atmosphere, distinguishing itself in a competitive dining scene. However, despite its success, the decision was made to close the location as part of a shift in Olvera’s business focus.

The closure of Atla marks the end of a notable chapter for the Noho dining landscape. The space at 372 Lafayette Street has been home to several restaurants over the years and will now be available for a new tenant. Details about future plans for the location have not been announced.

Olvera’s Cosme, located in the Flatiron District, will remain open. It continues to be a flagship for his culinary vision, offering a more elevated dining experience. The closure of Atla could signal a consolidation of efforts around this flagship venue and potentially other projects outside Manhattan.

Patrons who have dined at Atla have until May 31 to visit. The restaurant’s final weeks are expected to be busy as regular guests take the opportunity to experience the menu one last time. No further details regarding the closure were provided by the restaurant at this time.
