Atla, chef Enrique Olvera’s casual NoHo restaurant, will serve its final meal on Sunday, May 31, 2026, the team announced in a social post on May 1, 2026. The corner spot at 372 Lafayette Street has been a neighborhood staple since it opened in 2017. Olvera and his Casamata hospitality group say the space will be reworked into a new concept slated to debut this fall.
What the coverage says
As reported by Eater NY, Atla will shutter after nearly a decade in NoHo. The outlet notes the team plans to run “greatest hits” specials through the end of May, including the lobster burrito and aguachile negro. A spokesperson told Eater NY the move represents a “next chapter” for the group.
How the announcement reached diners
In an Instagram post highlighted by WhatNow, Atla wrote, “After nearly a decade in NoHo, the time has come to reinvent ourselves.” The post urged fans to stop by during the final weeks and teased a new concept from Enrique Olvera and architect Alonso de Garay that is expected to debut in the space this fall.
Who’s shaping the next concept
Casamata, Olvera’s hospitality group, lists Alonso de Garay as an architecture partner and shows a portfolio that includes Pujol, Cosme and Damian, which signals the next restaurant will likely pair Olvera’s cooking with a distinct design vision, per Casamata. De Garay is credited on the group’s site as a partner who “imprints a Mexican touch” on projects across cities.
Why Atla mattered
Opened in 2017, Atla was Olvera’s more casual, all‑day offering and became a regular stop for locals and visitors, according to Eater NY. The restaurant initially launched with Daniela Soto‑Innes as a key collaborator and was praised for bringing refined technique to accessible dishes. That blend of neighborhood ease and culinary craft is what many diners say they will miss.
Through the end of May the restaurant will keep regular service and post reservations and updates on Atla’s official site. The team says more details about the fall concept will be announced in the coming months, leaving the NoHo corner open for a fresh chapter after May 31, 2026.
