When Cuerno closed earlier this year, my heart sank: It was the only authentic Spanish restaurant this city had (that’s the restaurant’s luscious fabada Asturiana, pictured).

But today Repeat Atlanta is reporting that a new Spanish restaurant called Bocado (which means “bite” in Spanish) is opening on Howell Mill Road near Octane.

My spirits are lifting — according to RA, the opening is scheduled for late August or early September. Me gusto.
