Atla is a casual all-day Mexican eatery in NoHo known for inventive takes on Mexican cuisine served in a cozy, bar-forward space; it operates as a walk-in restaurant where guests can arrive alone or with a group. Its popularity and compact footprint are the reasons crowding and waits get mentioned by reviewers during peak times.

Based on its hours (later closes Friday/Saturday, brunch-style Sunday), weekend dinner and Saturday afternoon into evening look like the times most likely to see a wait, though we don't have specific reported wait-length data.
