This place has total surf shop vibes with a vibrant look and beach side feel. The only thing missing is sand on the floor. Put it all together with some friendly service and I'm already loving this place. They've got a really extensive list of tacos that I know I'll be returning to try even before I'm done ordering. Plus they've got ice cream, a kid's menu and a nice selection of drinks ranging from Jarritos to margaritas. Man, I cannot wait to try these tacos! Oh mama do these tacos look good. Very nice. Here we go. Portabella Taco: I have a theory... if a place can make vegetables taste good, you're in for one hell of a meal. This is one of the tastiest tacos I've ever had. BOOM!!! Five stars already. Let's go! Cajun Fish Taco: hot, well-seasoned fish, limey, citrus-y flavours popping in and out with each bite. Wow wow wow! Pork al Pastor Taco: awww, man... this one just didn't hit for me. The flavours didn't come together and compliment each other for me. Everything was too separate. I'm sure a nice salsa verde would've tied the pork and pineapple together while making the pork less dry. Oh well. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! Hands down my fave place I've visited for the year so far. I shall return. read more

Macon Street Tacos - This temptingly titillating taco trio tantalized thine taste buds to the threshold. (l) Pork al Pastor, (m) Portabella, (r) Cajun Fish - Tacos Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Customer service is very slow and lack of. I have never been charged for water while dining at a restaurant either but this is odd

I've been to this restaurant a few times and usually had a good experience, but my last visit was really disappointing. I ordered shrimp tacos but was served fish tacos instead. I can't stand fish, so I knew right away something was wrong. When I mentioned it to the staff, instead of fixing the mistake politely, they acted like it was my fault. I've never been treated so rudely over such a simple mix-up. Really unfortunate, because I used to enjoy coming here. read more

Service was fast and great! Food was meh. Drink was flat. Maybe it was an off day. I won't know because I doubt I will return.

Macon Street Tacos is a culinary gem! The vibrant atmosphere, exceptional service, and outstanding tacos made our dining experience unforgettable. From the perfectly seasoned carne asada to each bite was a delight. The commitment to quality ingredients and personalized customization options set this place apart. Whether you're a taco enthusiast or just appreciate great food, Macon Street Tacos is a must-visit for a flavorful adventure. They even have ice cream and a lot of local craft beers that is worth a trip to this establishment! Prices are very affordable and the amount of food we got was more than enough! read more

Service was fast. Restaurant is small but comfortable and clean. The vibe is beachy and colorful. Food was served quickly and hot. Workers were friendly. This is a location I will return to. read more

They treat their staff horribly; they yell ect. They're turnover rate was because of that, aka why they always seem to be hiring; if you have allergies, they don't make us change gloves every time, because its "wasteful" So cross contamination. One lady was genuinely nice; the other two older ladies were horrendous. I have no idea how an establishment like this is okay; especially considering how they treat their young employees. read more

The service is great: fast and efficient and friendly. The tacos are fresh and could use a bit more flavor but there is hot sauce on table. read more

Macon Street Tacos - Fish and shrimp salad corn - Tacos Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Place is clean, looks great, and comfortable. Staff is friendly. However, not authentic Mexican tacos. Served with flower and not corn tortilla. Hot sauce is not included and you will need to pay for it, if requested (minimum 5 dollars for CCs). Al pastor is not authentic al pastor. Nevertheless, giving credit for trying. Wishing the best and sincerely hoping you get the Mexican touch on your tacos. Not meant to discourage but rather just honest feedback. read more

This is our first time trying this place and we felt it was costly for the amount of food we received. What shocked me was the 50 cents charge for a small cup of water. Food was tasty but the price did not match up with the quality and quantity of food given. Service was average nothing to rave about. Ambiance was different but again not outstanding. I am sorry to give such a review but honestly, we could get a better meal for that price elsewhere in the vicinity. Our first and last visit. read more

Finally was able to try this place out And thought it was ok. The parking is horrible. They lose customer because of parking. This is my 4th attempt at eat here. The food was ok. I got 3 tacos shrimp. Pork and beef. The pork was the best of all three. Salsa was good. read more

I wanted to like this place..... I'm not a fan, I didn't care for the pricey shrimp tacos I ordered, however the Crunchy chicken taco was pretty good. It was so Crazy to me that they were charging $2 for the smallest cup of soda I've ever seen. They actually sale Margarita's but I visited during my lunch.... It's probably would have made my visit a little better, but I had to return to work. I wasn't impressed with the service we received either, it was less than polite. I don't think we will be returning anytime soon. read more

Macon Street Tacos - Crunchy Chicken Taco and Shrimp Taco - Tacos Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Horrible service. Worst toxic tacos ever made. I don't why you would go out of your way to upset customers. Terrible experience

Stopped by to grab some tacos, the young lady at the counter was somewhat helpful but I had trouble understanding the menu. I ordered tacos and corn but found out they were out of corn so I just got the tacos. There must be a problem with people sitting in the restaurant without ordering because a manager came out and asked me if I was waiting for an order (she got my name and confirmed my order). Anyway, the restaurant is clean and tidy and the food did come quickly. The taco was okay but not earth shattering. l won't be back. read more

Best tacos we've had since moving from Texas last year! We tried the shrimp taco, Shrimp Po'boy and the fried Brussels sprout tacos. I'm not sure who came up with those flavors but they were delicious! The beef nachos had excellent flavor! Everything disappeared before I could get a picture to post. read more

Food was good, but the live music really made the ambiance great. I would recommend the guacamole!

Very good tacos with lots to choose from. The dual Taco (flour and crunch shells stacked) called The Like was good, but the Cajun Fish Taco was the best. Really nice staff. A group of 9 of us showed up and they pushed the food out quickly. read more

Can keep this short and simple. Rolled up on this place on a Friday night. Not too busy. Super friendly and personable staff. Very helpful with the menu too. The place is small. But it's clean. Pricing is affordable. Their house margaritas are delicious. They also have canned alcohol beverages as well. The food doesn't take long to make. Comes out hot. Beautiful presentation and absolutely delicious. Would I come here again? Absolutely. Good food. Good pricing. Good size meals. And excellent service. Nothing else needed. read more

This place is amazing. I am a vegetarian, and they actually have a tasty vegetarian option: portobello mushroom tacos! The corn on the cob is also amazing. My wife and I had an afternoon date away from the kids and decided to eat here, it's our favorite place for a quick bite on the square of McDonough. read more

I enjoy eating here! The service is always friendly! Ambiance is nice. I recently tried the Brussels sprouts and black bean taco! It's all good! read more

The service is amazing at this place. I went in the middle of the lunch rush but didn't feel rushed. The woman who took my order was great at explaining the menu and the rest of the staff was very attentive. My food came out quick. I ordered a taco salad which was amazing and a po boy taco. The po boy wasn't that great because I expected the shrimp to be fried which would've been perfect with the acidic chopped pickles and tomatoes, but it also wasn't very flavorful. Overall it was a great value for the price. I'd go back for the salad and maybe to try a different taco and the frozen margs. read more

We found this quaint little places on the suggestion of someone else.. and honestly.. pleasantly surprised!! The tacos were REALLY good! A friend tried the "el gringo" taco and the beef was well seasoned!! The staff was SUPER nice and well accommodating, we honest enjoyed our lunch here.. If ever in town or if friends are in town we definitely recommend this place!! read more

I'm going to be very technical about this review. I liked this place a lot, the ladies behind the counter were very nice. Great smiles that greeted me. First, place was nice, good area, great view of the azaleas on the square in McDonough ga. FOOD: I Liked The hard taco shells were very nice, I think they fry their own. I do love hard shells. Salsa was really tasty, nice balance from spicy and acidic. Pineapple salsa was very nice sweet and savory hitting all my buds in a nice way. FOOD: Needed work I tried the steak, chicken, pork and beef tacos. Half hard shell half soft corn shell. The meat was disappointing, I feel they cooked all the meats to long. All the meat was over cooked. Making it hard and chewy. ( always cook meat aldentè, finishing it off on the grill with flavored water. Makes it juicy and adding a little more flavor won't dry out the meat) Chips should never be salted, they should come to the table unsalted letting the customer salt them to their taste. I had downed my water after the third chip. This place having good location and pretty good prices is good just up the taste game and it will be a great place. read more

Our favorite place on the square tacos are phenomenal. The Kurt and teriyaki chicken are fantastic!

I've read the other reviews and while they're on the edge of being helpful they don't quite get there. I never give a review under three stars without giving some advice. As someone who has been in the business and who has traveled extensively to Mexico and Texas there are some fundamentals to tacos that this place needs in order to make it. First, dump the iced cream! It's a distraction to the restaurant. Second, you have to put your tortillas on the griddle or they'll fall apart - this is probably one of the biggest complaints I have. Third, put some jalapeño in your salsa and offer a tomatillo salsa along with the red - this is important because red salsa doesn't go with everything! You need to get out to some real tagueria's (I mean the kind that white people don't usually frequent). If you want a real model to your business I would suggest you call the people who own Mi Casita in Longview, TX and ask them if you can hang with them for a week! They're not fancy, they're packed all the time, have killer food, and they're prices are lower than yours. If the building is too expensive for you to be in then deal with that later - but establish your clientele first and they'll follow you to cheaper digs later! As for the comment about putting cilantro on tacos that's insane - they've clearly NEVER been to an authentic taqueria before because that's how they come! If you're the one that doesn't like cilantro it's on you to ask and then tell them no - cebolla y cilantro are standard at every taqueria on the planet! I think this place has potential and if you want help I'm more than happy to do so - no charge! People often complain but lack the skills or intellect to explain themselves clearly! I'm not that guy! Good luck! read more

I was so looking forward to visiting this place and enjoying the tacos. Sadly, I was highly underwhelmed with my visit. In fact, I was gravely disappointed in the service my friend and I received. The Good: The establishment is a cute & quant place in the McDonough square. The menu looks exciting and there's something for everyone. The Bad: I'll skip this part and go straight to the ugly. The Ugly: We placed our order at 12:00p and sat at a table awaiting the staff to bring our food for dine-in service. At 12:20p, we noticed 3 groups of people had come in, ordered, sat down, and received their food. Yet....we hadn't received ours. I asked the staff for an update on our order and she mentioned our ticket was up next. (How was it "next" if we ordered BEFORE the other 3 groups arrived??). By 12:45p, 2 more dine-in groups and 3 to-go orders had come in, ordered, got seated, and received their food. Still....no food for us. By now, we're ready for a refund and ready to go. After telling the staff we've been waiting for 45 minutes and watching them CONSTANTLY service others and continue to ignore us, we want a refund. At no time was an apology or explanation offered. So you leave me no choice but to state the facts and draw my own conclusion for reasoning. ALL other patrons looked to be white/Caucasian. The staff looked to be white/Caucasian. My friend and myself are black/African American. So, I guess they didn't feel like servicing black people today in this restaurant. I'm highly disappointed that I even had to write about such disgusting service/behavior related to this place because we really wanted to support the small business. But we don't and won't support poor service....especially that which appears to be racially motivated. read more

No flavor on anything I ordered: steak taco, pork taco, guacamole dip. Miserable food. I hope they just forgot to season the food tonight. I can't believe they would in good conscious sell that food to the public like that knowingly. I had to add my own salt to be able to bare eating any of it. read more

Y'all as a vegetarian I must say I'm so overwhelmingly satisfied. I got the soft, hard, and soft/hard portobello mushroom taco, which has some heavenly stuff sprinkled all on top of it and I swear I was having mouth orgasm's. Try it if you think I'm lying. Plus the cheese dip y'all , it's probably going to make you die and come back and die again because it's almost too much it's so good. So yea, eat here. read more

Brought five young kids in just for ice cream. They had great flavors to choose from, and the young lady behind the counter was very patient and friendly with all the excitement and requests for cones, sprinkles, and syrup. While we were sitting down eating, another employee was sweeping and tidying up the sitting area. The bathroom and restaurant area was very clean. I was really pleased with our experience and would definitely go again. read more

Great place on the square of McDonough! They have delicious tacos. If you are a first-timer, be sure to get the Soft N Crunchy with a side of street corn on the cob! I didn't get it for the longest time. When I finally got the corn, I wish I have tasted it sooner. They also have live music on the weekends with several local artists read more

This is a must if you like fish tacos. I get their Cajun fish tacos with an order of cheese dip. It is absolutely wonderful. If you haven't been to MST, do yourself a favor and visit. My wife and son get chicken tacos and they love them. We all get our own cheese dip, the large is really only enough for one person. read more

Tried this new restaurant (2nd day open) today with some co workers. Unfortunately I was not too impressed. The menu is a la cart and ends up costing a lot for lunch. A lunch special would be nice. I ordered a Shrimp Taco, Chorizo Taco, chips and salsa, and a bottled water and it was over $12.00. The tacos were small. If you don't tell them it will come with cilantro on top, which I do not like. The flavor of the tacos were ok, but nothing to write home about. The house salsa tasted weird and it was sweet with no heat. I like some heat in my salsa. There is limited seating, with only four person booths up front. It is conveniently located in the McDonough Square, but the parking (paid) is limited. read more

So my wife and I gave this place a try. We really wanted it to be good, but we were disappointed. We liked the guacamole, and my wife enjoyed the sangria. We ordered all the tacos except the seafood ones. We won't go back. If your expectations are for anything special , than you will likely be disappointed as well. read more

Excellent food and service. Adult beverages and ice cream along with the tacos and nachos you cannot go wrong. Coldest beer on the square plus a friendly staff read more

For someone who has eaten their fair share of tacos in my life, I was very disappointed in these tacos. I ordered three different tacos: Carne Asada, Soft Crunchy, and a Chicken. They were all very underwhelming. The meat tasted as if there was no seasoning. Steak was dry. I added sour cream to my tacos and the sour cream was drenched over the whole taco. I did enjoy the soft crunch concept but again, not much taste to the tacos. The combo came with chips and salsa, yet the chips were overcooked. I also got a side of guacamole which came in the tiniest plastic cup. I will sadly not be returning to Macon Street Tacos. read more

Great little place to eat! All the Mexican foods you love, amazing service from courteous young ladies, and good MARGARITAS! When you're finished with your meal, they have fantastic ice cream, too! I love Macon Street Tacos. read more

The food here is very good and the staff has always been pleasant. They go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience, going above and beyond in their service. The chorizo nachos are excellent and a great value. The Mexican Street Corn is always good. I've never had a taco here that I didn't really enjoy. The wife really likes the Sangria and the mystery beer barrel is always a hit with me. read more

We went in on Saturday just before the music concert in the square. We walked right up and ordered which tells me they were not overly busy. Our food took more time then tacos and a quesadilla really should. The shrimp quesadilla was very tasty. The chorizo taco was better than the fish taco, I would get it again. 2 tacos combo with black beans,a shrimp quesadilla, 1 soda and 1 canned beer was $27 which seemed a little pricey. Overall there is a nice atmosphere, tasty food and the staff seemed nice. If you can get your food times under control I think the price can be overlooked. read more

This is a hidden gem. Tacos are amazing, as well as the staff. This is an awesome date spot, very clean, very fast, and very good!!!!
