The World Cup is well underway in Atlanta, and we couldn’t be more excited for the rest of the summer! With tons of incredible watch parties, sports bars, and viewing events… you might be overwhelmed with choices. Let us help you out! The best restaurant to watch all the Latin American matches is definitely El Ponce in Poncey-Highlands. Keep scrolling to learn more.
What does El Ponce offer during the World Cup?
First of all, it’s a great spot to watch the matches on the big screen! El Ponce offers fans the option to enjoy the game inside on the big screen or outside on their newly upgraded and improved patio space! But that’s not all. Fans can also expect:
- special game-day menus
- extended hours for Latin American matches
- huge celebrations for when either Mexico or the USA play!
The next time Mexico plays is this week, on Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 at 6pm, against Czechia. Oh and did we mention that any time Mexico (or the USA) scores a goal, the wholeeee place gets a FREE shot or Espolón Tequila!
The next two big matches will be Wednesday, June 24th, when Mexico plays Czechia and Thursday, June 25th, when the USA plays Turkey.
Do I need a reservation?
You don’t, but we’d highly recommend it. You can see the full menu, reserve your table, and much more on El Ponce’s website, here!
And catch El Ponce at all your favorite World Cup parties around town!
Beyond the restaurant, El Ponce’s bright pink tamale carts will be popping up at key fan gathering spots, including South Downtown and Decatur WatchFest.
The carts also feature a delicious collaboration with King of Pops, including their agua fresca-inspired popsicles and a michelada-flavored pop designed to pair with beer.
Don’t miss out on all the fun, Atlanta! Head to El Ponce for the best World Cup viewing experience… and hopefully some free shots!
