Lorena Garcia Tapas Bar

This is just a bar now with sports TV, so do not expect any tapas: they need to change their name! The Malbec is still wonderful, but all they have are Olives or Carmelized Walnuts to go with it. Nice area of the terminal to sit in but nothing to recommend this place in particular…

I fully expect to pay more for food and alcohol in an airport — it’s a no brainer. However, $ 10.75 for small, 6 oz glass of Gascon Malbec that you can find in most grocery stores for $ 9−10/bottle is ridiculous. Also, of the 8 «signature» drinks listed in their menu, they only had the ingredients to make one (mojito… boo). Beer selection isn’t anything special — typical domestics with Stella and Heineken bottles being the only selections that are remotely different, if only a little. I was also hungry but apparently this «tapas bar» does not serve tapas, or food for that matter, which is a shame because I love the idea of tapas in an airport. According to the bartender, the kitchen closed several months ago because of poor business. Quite simply, this place makes me want to punch myself in the head repeatedly. Avoid at all costs.

The two bartenders are currently arguing whether or not to use some spoiled mango in a sangria because «the back office insists that they do». Yes… It makes me question the chicken avocado wrap I just ate…
The wrap was good and I washed it down with a Shock Top (served in a Blue Moon glass). But it was a $ 30 meal. Yeah… For a beer and a sandwich.
Also, a British couple saw my glass and ordered 2 blue moons. The bartender poured two glasses of Shock Top without clarifying if that was what they expected. Yeah… Unimpressed.

I like the LG signature salad. A bit pricey, but you get a sweet/​sour blend salad, with chicken breast. I have it almost every time I am in the ATL airport.

Possibly the best food option in Concourse F but far from the best in the airport. One Flew South in Concourse E is better option.
First off, if you come to the Tapas Bar looking for Tapas, you’ll be sadly disappointed. They have a very limited menu (which consists mainly of salads and wraps). No tapas!
The food was tasty but rather spendy. $ 25.01 for a wrap (no side) and an Angry Orchid cider. That’s with 18% tip included by the bar.
Would I come back? Hmmm. Probably not. Although the wings did look and smell tasty.

Overall the food and experience was ok but with it being priced rather expensive I expect more. I had a glass of Rioja wine which was quite good but priced at $ 12/​glass I would hope it would be. For food, I ordered the Turkey, Brie and Blackberry jam Montaditos which are two small sandwiches that tasted ok but nothing special. They were served on a plastic plate with plastic ware silverware. For $ 12.99 I felt ripped off. In all the one glass of wine and the one order of small sandwiches cost over $ 30 which is way to much for a mediocre experience all around.

Hands down the best option for food and drink on Concourse F and any other concourse from what I can see. However, yes you are in an airport and if you are expecting great service you will be sadly mistaken. The bartenders were more interested in standing with their backs to the costumers and watching the bowl game than taking care of their customers…
I started off with some of the marinated olives which were really good except my bowl of olives were full of the Red Cerignolia olives which still have pits in them and became annoying after awhile to eat. After the olives my server recommended the Mango glazed oven roasted chicken wings (yea try and say that ten times fast). These were absolutely delicious and not just because I was in an airport these would be delicious anywhere with a slightly sweet and spicy taste that was truly delightful.
After a couple more beers and an hour and a half before my flight still I decided I would have one dish. After looking over the menu and falling in love with a couple of the salads I actually changed my mind at the last second to have the citrus chicken marinated avocado wrap. The first bite was disappointing and a few more bites became just as disappointing and then I reached the middle of the wrap and then it all came together. All of the ingredients came together once I reached the bottom half of my wrap and the dish was light and heavenly it’s just too bad the whole wrap wasn’t that way.
I will always return to this point anytime I fly in or out of Atlanta and am on Concourse F for sure but won’t get my hopes up that the staff will be any better. I am now in Miami and hoping to visit Lorena’s only other restaurant in the airport here…

I hope they plan to add more menu items in the future. The menu is extremely limited as in two appetizers and 4 mains.
I had the LG Signature Salad which was very good but small.
One glass of Terrazos de los andes Malbec which was ok (Like a 2 buck chuck of Malbec).
