Delicious little spot for Mexican food! Everything tasted fresh and made from scratch. I ordered two chicken enchiladas and they were fantastic. The lunch portion came with the rice and beans. The enchilada sauce was very tasty! Will be back for sure! read more

New ownership, food nowhere near as good as it was. Disappointed. It was a regular spot when I lived closer, and I was excited to come back when I happened to be on that side of town. However, I likely won't be back. read more

They've recently changed ownership and the service and quality of food have gone down. The guacamole is still good. My carnitas was dried up and burnt, like they scraped the bottom of the pan or something. Used to be our go-to place, but no longer. read more

Everyone is pleasant and welcoming and I like the food a lot. Always tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. I do think its a *tad* overpriced but I still go lol read more

Moctezuma Mexican Grill - Nachos de la casa (with ground beef) - Mexican Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

My wife found this location on Yelp. We have been trying to find really good local Mexican food ever since we moved from Texas. There it is like every corner has a good place... here in Alpharetta/roswell... it is spotty. This is a hidden spot... hidden in plain view but hidden all the same. I must have been past it a dozen times but had never noticed it. The ambiance was nice but simple. It is not 5 star dining... but it is not run down worry what you're getting either. It is a descent place. The service was good... it wasn't busy here... so I think we got a lot of focus for sure. The menu is extensive. Lots of dishes to choose from. My wife always orders the guac when we go to Mexican. I get the queso... I can't stand guac. I mean just look at it... I swear I have too many kids and changed too many diapers to eat anything that looks like this! Anyway once past the aps we got to our meals and I was pleasantly surprise. My boys liked it, I liked it, and my wife liked it! Eureka... a Mexican place that we all enjoyed and it wasn't out of this world expensive! I recommend stopping in and trying a thing or two.. you'll be glad you did! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Doesn't look like much from the outside being next to a gas station, and the inside; while its decor is very Mexican, needs freshening (and the a/c to work better) has probably been here since the center has been built.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband and son were thrilled with their food (taco Al carbon and enchilada de espincaca) mine was less thrilling. Nothing wrong with it, just kind of bland. All are probably more authentic than I'm used to. I tasted my son's taco meat and it was amazing! The menu is overwhelmingly large and hard to decide. Our server, Daisy was wonderful and then there was the robot server...she was pretty good also read more

I ordered steak fajitas, which were OK. The salsa was watery and bland. The service was good. I noticed they charge a fee for chips if you want more than one bowl. read more

Moctezuma Mexican Grill - Carne Asada, Tacos with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

The food was not authentic at all. The aguas frescas were way too watery and so was the salsa they give with the chips. My food was hardly edible and I maybe ate 10% of it. Not only was the food bad but the prices were outrageous for the level of quality they provided. The service was fine. read more

We are new to Georgia but our adult kids are not. All of us being from California where Mexican food is amazing and because my son-in-law and daughter love Mexican food and are very picky, they discovered Moctezuma and enjoy it quite frequently!! We have joined them on several visits before moving here permanently and now also continue enjoying and feeling like we've found a place like back in California that makes yummy Mexican food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant isn't fancy but homey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The husband/wife who own and operate the restaurant along with their adult kids are incredibly friendly. Everything we've ordered has been very delicious. The organica margaritas are very tasty and not boozy tasting which is how I enjoy them; however, they are pricey. My husband thinks they were $18 but can't confirm it. We just know they were pricier than a regular one. What they have that is pretty cool is a robot named Penelope that helps assist with serving the food. Parking has been plentiful when we have dined in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Twice that we've been there, it was super busy once so it must have been the busy hour for them, the other time not as busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for some true delicious Mexican food with great owners, check it out!! read more

We came here for dinner on a week night and it was pretty empty. Parking was easy as it shares a strip mall with a gas station, but if it were crowded, might be an issue. We were seated in a corner booth and served immediately with chips and salsa. The first basket is free, but after that, they charge. The chips were good and so was the salsa, pretty flat and not chunky, this was also good on the food. From there though, it went downhill. They informed us that they were out of avocados after we ordered the guacamole. This also affected any dish that had guacamole or avocado in it, which is a decent amount of the menu. There's probably a grocery store nearby, that someone can run out to? I mean, this was pretty early on in the main dinner service time. I got the chile relleno and it was good, but not great. It was a quick dinner experience and we were on our way, probably not coming back. read more

Always consistent fresh Mexican with great locally owned family. I've always had a great overall experience.

As Texans who were in the area for business, we were a bit skeptical to try a Mexican restaurant. After all, we have Mexican restaurants on every corner in TX. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity, quality of food, and friendliness of staff here. We ordered guacamole and chips to enjoy with our margaritas. They were generous with the amount of guac and it was delicious. The margaritas were super-sized and required two hands to hold! The drinks were not watered down, nor were they too strong. In the words of Goldilocks, "They were just right!" The pièce de résistance was the carne asada we both ordered for our main dish. It was tender, flavorful, and plate-size. Hands down, it was the best carne asada we have ever eaten!! My mouth is watering just writing about it! For an added touch of fun, they have a robot waitress, Penelope, who assists with delivery of items to the table! Overall, it was a wonderful experience which we will repeat the next time we are in town! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time because of all the great reviews & finally had the chance to check it out! My brother was in town and we decided to try this restaurant. We got the fajitas for two (chicken & steak combo) and loved them! So flavorful, juicy, & cooked to perfection! Definitely plan to go back to try more menu items. The staff is great too. They're doing a trial right now with a robot that delivers your food to the table & it was such a fun touch to the experience. It's a small restaurant in a gas station parking lot so it's nice and quiet, but not to be overlooked and dismissed! :) read more

Really great authentic Mexican food! They have huge margaritas great mix drinks and glass bottle coke! They use a robot to deliver food and it seemed out of control at one point, kinda silly but not bad at all. 4/5 would go back read more

DAISY IS AMAZING!!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wow this place was so surprising, the food is so good and the presentation is gorgeous![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the flavors, the hospitality, I'm so happy and pleased i cannot believe such a place exist in this day and time. Fast food, gorgeously plated, happy staff, fair prices, and THE FLAVOR!!! Thank you again! I will always recommend. read more

A small, authentic restaurant with friendly staff that greet you with a smile and always willing to help explain the menu or any questions we had. Food was good, but nothing that was memorable. Prices were reasonable, décor could use some updating. Not sure I would go again when in town. read more

Every dish we ordered was bland and frankly not good. Dishes ordered: Beef Tacos: not palpable with whatever seasonings they used. Beef enchiladas: bland and not palatable. Children's nachos: missing the classic Mexican white cheese dip sauce. Another taco dish with pineapple and jalepenos: bland and flavorless. Great service: friendly and quick. read more

Seriously they must have hired an army to create these fake reviews. The service staff was nice enough, the restaurant itself is sketch... located in a strip hooked to a gas station. We figured... well ~300 people say it's 4.8 star good so maybe the food is the bomb and the restaurant is just a hole. Chips and salsa are decent, little Smokey - sun dried tomato taste. Water was as good as you can make city water. We thought ok let's go down the middle here..... steak fajitas.... nobody can mess up fajitas... Steak was tough as shoe leather, onions were slimy oil soaked blah.... Never again - I will state again someone hired a group of people to create these "good reviews". One last thing. - the trash can that held the door for the bathroom. read more

this restaurant got the all the best food in the area. I love. Este lugar tiene la mejor comida en esta área.

We ordered from "build your own". They offer sit down also. The food was good and a great spice. Friendly server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is located in a strip mall/ gas station.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note: they only accept cash or Zelle. read more

Food is awfull margaritas are brown and unappetizing. The cheese looks fake and watery. Stays liquid when cold. Steak fajitas tasted fishy.

So I took away a star, because they've been getting a little stingy with portions lately. They've changed from before. And any time there's a issue, the owner smiles and brushes it off instead of rectifying it. The quality and taste of the food is still amazing. read more

When a Mexican place is right next to a gas station, one of two things is about to happen. Either, you're going to really regret it, or you're in for a fantastic meal! Luckily it was awesome. Food delivery via robot was a cool touch, our server was really attentive and sweet. Place was a little dark, but was very clean! read more

Over priced, my caldo de mariscos was not good at all. And the micheladas are bad here. My only Pro was the waitress was amazing she was sweet. That's all food was ass and price too. read more

Nothing compares to Moctezuma. This is by far the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in the north metro area. The carne asada is a perfectly cooked steak topped with roasted green onions and jalapeño. It's a large portion packed with flavor. The Chile verde is incredibly tender chunks of pork topped with a green tomatillo sauce. The pork just dissolves when you bite into it. It's delicious with or without tortillas. The margaritas are also a hit! There was not a single thing we didn't love at this restaurant. Definitely a hole in the wall you don't want to miss out on! read more

Unfortunately it was not a great dining experience. Overcooked meats and sauces that lacked a few things didn't match the price tag. Neither of my dishes were particularly to my liking. Very nice service helped keep it pleasant experience. read more

Service great but food was so bad :( I'm honestly upset at the prices of this place for the quality of food we were served. Going out to eat is so pricey nowadays so we left disappointed. Our only recommendation is that that the kitchen season their food. The beef was so sadly Bland and the chicken was also way too tough to eat in both of our dishes. read more

Rolled in a hour before closing as I really wanted to try something "new". Both hubby and I weren't overly impressed with the chips and salsa. Chips a little stale (we did arrive in the hour before closing ) but they were not impressive. However, the salsa was pretty decent. Hopefully, we just received a stale batch. The guacamole, however was very good and I wish we ordered a larger size. We decided to try the authentic steak tacos. They were OUTSTANDING. Very good. Lots of flavor. Totally Made me forget about the stale chips. In addition, the refried beans were also very good. Reminded me of a Sonoran flavor. We ended up ordering a second order of beans. Bottom line don't get full on the chips and order the meal! read more

Yet another restaurant we should have eaten at sooner. You can taste the fresh ingredients in everything. The chicken in the fajitas was definitely marinated and full of flavor. The veggies were actually cooked and not just thrown in at the last second. We also had the tacos traditionales with steak which were delicious. Excellent service by a staff who seem happy to be there. It's in an odd plaza, iff the beaten track, but don't be put off by that. Better than the competition. We will be back soon and often. read more

We went to this place for a family dinner on a Sunday night. It wasn't too packed and we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was attentive and very nice.

I wasn't a fan of the pina colda but overall everything else was great. read more

Amazing ! I wanted to find a place where the fish tacos were not tilapia and TADAAA - this is it ! Delicious fried Halibut tacos. I am in love. My hubby ordered the Mucho combo with chalupa and chimichanga (beef) he enjoyed every bite. He is a big man and it filled him up. My 3 year old devoured her rice and beef/cheese enchilada. We will be back ! I finally found a fantastic spot for taco Tuesday that is close to home ! Oh and the regular mango margarita - yummy ! read more

We came here based on the glowing reviews. But honestly it was shockingly overpriced for basic strip mall Mexican food. Two salads and two kids meals with no drinks was over $50 before tip. I know prices have gone up, but this place is way more expensive than much better Mexican options. The food was ok but nothing special--pretty bland overall. They don't have fountain soft drinks and charge extra for a second basket of chips. The interior is pretty much like every other basic Mexican restaurant, but they charge an elevated price level. I would say that our server was attentive, so that was probably the best thing about the place. We will definitely not be going back. read more

I've tried a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area, having lived here for 20+ years. This is the one I still keep coming back to. Their prices are a little high, but the food is really worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a pretty chill atmosphere, which is very large.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You don't see that it is actually twice as large as it seems from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will probably never stop coming here. This has become my comfort food. read more

I am always in search for a great Mexican restaurant. After eating at some fantastic places in Arizona and Texas, I keep hoping to find something similar in Atlanta. Moctezuma is probably one of the better places I've found. It's a small place, but the service is exceptional. Everyone is friendly and you won't see the bottom of your drink glass because the staff seems to tag team all tables. From outside, the restaurant looks small but there are two dining rooms. The decor is colorful, but not overly done. There is just one table for outside dining and the restaurant charges a service fee for credit card transactions. The food is well seasoned and tastes fresh. The corn chips are not great, but the fahitas and carnitas tacos were awesome. The portions are generous, so enjoy. read more
