The Atlanta area’s most well-regarded Latino sandwich shop has finally opened in The Battery Atlanta. AtlantaFi told you about the plans months ago when El Super Pan first said it was joining the sports and entertainment complex anchored by SunTrust Park.
El Super Pan’s first location, at Ponce City Market, in Midtown has been a hit since its 2015 debut.
Cuban restaurant El Super Pan opens in The Battery
Three-time James Beard-nominated Chef Hector Santiago is bringing his popular Latin American fare to “Los Bravos” (Braves fans) for lunch and dinner seven days a week in the Cumberland community. Fan favorites from Puerto Rican-born Santiago include the sought-after Mofongos, the Cubano Mixto, pressed sandwich on a traditional Cuban bread and desserts such as chipotle-chocolate chip cookies, organic egg flan, and bacon-guava shortbread cookie and Cuban coffee.
Although the Braves are playing and SunTrust Park is up and running, development in the vicinity continues to take off.
In addition to El Super Pan, the Omni Hotel recently opened to guests, giving visitors a home before and after Braves games as well as anchoring metro Atlanta’s newest entertainment destination. The property will feature 264 guest rooms across 16 floors.
