Smoke And Friends Carne En Vara: Atlanta Barbeque With Latin Fire

Wood-Fired Carne en Vara in the Heart of Atlanta

Smoke And Friends Carne En Vara brings a Latin American spin to Atlanta’s Barbeque scene, slow-roasting premium cuts of meat over open flames. Instead of traditional Southern smokers, this restaurant leans on the rustic method of “carne en vara” – whole cuts skewered on stakes and cooked beside a wood fire for deep, smoky flavor.

As part of Atlanta’s Restaurants & Food community, Smoke And Friends Carne En Vara focuses on one thing: wood-fired meat done with precision. Guests order at the counter or online, choose from a focused menu of fire-roasted beef, pork, and chicken, then round it out with fresh sides inspired by Latin street food and Southern cookouts.
