So glad I finally tried it!!!! Fresh, quality ingredients you can taste. Friendly and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend and will be back...often!

I got the green tamale, chorizo tacos to cheese, and al pastor taco with cheese. The tamale flavor was alright but the green salsa on the side was great with it! The tamale texture WAS AWESOME! Fluffiest tamale ever! Just a lil smaller than I was used to but seriously loved it. The tacos were on the greasier side but the flavor depth was incredible!! I could tell the employee was just all around good vibes and I appreciated his attitude! The whole place had lots of Mexican candy including sour gushers if you are into that. Would def come back. Great hidden gem in dawsonville!

We came here based off reviews and were a little thrown off by the hidden location and lack of tables. The worker there who was the cashier and only team member we could see explained they were strictly a take out restaurant and had no places to eat at the restaurant. There weren't even any trash cans inside or out which meant they were strictly serving food for take out only and customers would have to eat elsewhere or in their car and throw away the trash at home or a gas station or in our case, car wash. We ordered tacos (steak and pastor) a torta and chips and guacamole and two small horchatas. The food and drink were solid - very fresh and simply put outstanding. I could see why they had good reviews and my wife and I were very happy about our choice for lunch. The salsas they served with our entrees were great as well. The guacamole was wonderful and tasted freshly made. Parking is pretty simple and this restaurant is a fantastic choice if you are shopping at the 400 outlet mall aka North Georgia Premium Outlets. 5 stars and a muchas gracias!

2 steak tacos with extra cilantro and onions, 1 shredded chicken taco, and a 4oz cheese dip.

First time trying Takoz Express and the food was decent. I prefer more seasoning. The tacos are a bit expensive, but you get a lot of meat in them. Not sure if I was actually given extra cilantro and onions like I asked for. The limes should be bigger, as you get one small lime per taco and I could barely squeeze any juice out of a few of them. I paid .50 for extra limes not realizing that they were so small. Overall, I would try this restaurant again.

My wife came home from work on Tuesday and said they had ordered their lunch from an AMAZING Mexican Restaurant. She insisted we go and try it out on Wednesday since she was off work and it would be good for lunch. I was skeptical, but we drove to Industrial Dr and Lumpkin Campground Rd intersection at 12:55 PM and found Takoz. It is well hidden, beside Gilstrap and facing Industrial Dr on the side of the building in an industrial area. As often as I have passed this building, I have never known it was there. I would not have found this hidden gem if I had not been looking. Being an industrial park, parking was limited, but we found a space and walked inside. It immediately reminded me of many of the small mom-and-pop restaurants I visited as a child living in Miami, Florida. If you are looking for elegance and a seating area, this is not for you, but if you are looking for hole-in-the-wall authentic Mexican food prepared fresh to order, then you will LOVE Takoz Express. The lady working the front counter was super friendly and helpful and took our order shortly after we arrived. I ordered one each of the Steak, Chorizo, Grilled Chicken, and Pork soft Tacos. My wife ordered two Steak Tacos, a side order of homemade warm chips, and a large Guacamole that was freshly made at the restaurant. Our eyes were larger than our stomachs. I ate two of my Tacos and a few chips and was full. I had to save the other two for my lunch today. The Tacos are authentic street Tacos with a generous serving of meat topped with onion and cilantro in your choice of a warm flour tortilla or two corn tortillas. All the meats I tried were seasoned and cooked to perfection with generous portions. The Guacamole was amazing, the only problem is once you taste it, you have a hard time stopping. On top of an absolutely incredible meal, I also received a 5% off coupon for our meals after checking in on the Yelp app. If you are looking for a filling, authentic meal at a very reasonable price, topped off with great customer service, this is where you want to come. I was amazed to find genuine, authentic Mexican cuisine in Dawsonville. This is our new favorite place for a snack or a meal. We will see you on Yelp and see you at Takoz Express.

Takoz Express is near North Georgia Premium Outlets, and we went there for some tacos at the end of July. It's in a very tiny strip mall, and parking, which is free, is very limited. We walked into the little store, and the employee called out "Hola!" to us, and said that she'd be with us soon to take our orders, but she was getting take out orders ready for other customers who previously ordered in person or by phone. This is a little shop, and eating onsite was not allowed. In fact, there aren't any tables inside or outside to dine at. A little cluttered inside, the store was still clean. They have refrigerators in the queue/waiting area that holds cold drinks, and customers need to pay for their drinks first. The order counter has a menu with the prices of tacos based on the type of meat chosen, and a list of type of meats available. I counted eleven different types of meats, which is the most that I've ever seen. Takoz Express even sells a veggie taco. I ordered three pastor tacos with corn tortillas and R ordered three carnitas tacos with corn tortillas. We also each got a bottle of Jarritos; I got lima (lime), R got pina (pineapple). We didn't have to wait very long; the woman at the order counter was very quick (even though she was also taking orders that were called in) and the kitchen staff did a great job keeping up with her. We got into the car and I drove to the North Georgia Premium Outlets and parked in the parking lot under a tree so we could eat in the car. Each of the tacos had two corn tortillas, a wedge of lime, and, in addition to the meat in them, cilantro and onions. Each order came with a small cup of green sauce which was wonderfully spicy hot! The pastor meat had good flavor and was marinaded well. R said that his carnitas were good. Delicious, quick, inexpensive - good experience!

My wife and I were in the area doing some outlet shopping at North Georgia Premium Outlets, when we got super hungry and stumbled upon Takoz Express. The Parking: Free parking. The Atmosphere: Pick up only! No indoor or outdoor seating, but we were so hungry, we ate in the car in the parking lot. Lol. The Service: The young lady was very nice! The Food: I ordered the following tacos: - Steak ($2.50) - Grilled Chicken ($2.25) - Barbacoa ($2.89) - Al Pastor ($2.25) I ordered a Chorizo as well, but she didn't hear me....which was a bummer, because I wanted to try it and didn't realize it until much later into the meal. I didn't want to go back inside to order another taco, just to have to wait again. The tacos tasted very good and fresh! Lots of onions & cilantro, which is the best! Overall, the tacos were really good. If I'm ever in the area again to do some shopping, I'll definitely swing back by.

This place was a hole in the wall next to the outlets. The food was very authentic and delicious. The only downside is that it is to go only and no seating inside so you can't quite go shopping and sit down to eat in the establishment, But you can sit and eat in your car in the parking lot which is what we did!!

William M.

Definitely a TAKE OUT place. I ordered a Chorizo Taco and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and size of it. The girl behind the counter ws friendly and courteous. It's a little challenging to find unless you know it's there, but don't give up.

Do not trust the hours of this restaurant. I have tried to eat here for lunch 2 times and they have been closed. The hours on the door, plus the hours on the website states they are open Monday-Saturday 10:00-8:00. I pulled in the parking lot around 10:30 and they were still closed. Door locked and no one inside. They need to change the hours if they are not opening when they say they are. read more

Wanted a quick bite after shopping at the outlet and found this gem. I've been a little underwhelmed with the Mexican food in Atlanta, it's kind of TexMexy. I grew up in Southern Cali so my standards are high. This place took me back home. The carne asada tacos were great and the tamale was moist and flavorful. But the Gordita was OFF THE CHAIN. I think I would travel an hour just to get that again. The only drawback was there is no sitting, which didn't bother me at all cuz I ate in my car. The guy at the register was super nice and the food came out really fast even though he told me it would be a 10-15 minute wait. read more

Some of the absolute best tacos I've ever had.....in Georgia! Tons of meat packed full in two delicious handmade corn tortillas. The burrito was so big my husband couldn't even finish it, and that's saying a lot because he's a big eater. The salsa - spicy - and well seasoned, accompanied delicious tortilla chips that were cooked to perfection; golden brown and NOT greasy. We live in Alpharetta but will definitely be coming out to their humble "to go" taco bar again, and soon! read more

The food was 5 star authentic Mexican. However, I'm giving 4 stars because the girl who took our order wasn't friendly. We ordered 2 quesadillas and she put them both in the same styrofoam container. My wife had to ask for another container so we could eat the food in our car separately because this is a TO GO restaurant. I also had to ask her for to go plasticware and ask her if it's typical for them to not give it out and she nodded yes. Anyways, a friendly staff member would've got this place 5 stars but you only get one first impression and she failed. Incredible food! read more

The place itself is small, you can't really enjoy your food there. It's more of a get in and get out place! Which I loved honestly, I placed a to go order the girl told me it would be around 10 mins later which is exactly how long it took. I was impressed by the food and service!

The name the name my country for a name-- that says it all-- this food crosses all boundaries or rather vanquishes all boundaries-- this meat is the meat you wish your hard working mother could have made you-- you taste it and you think of home-- it transports you to the simpler place you once lived - where fires burned day and night -- cooking food to feed so many--slow cooked to be tender for the old, simple and pure of flavor for the very young, to wean them from the Mother's milk. I hope retirement homes open near this palace of purity and I can tell you now, when I have to give up my freedoms and my home I would buy a spot next this to this place where food feels familiar and good and reminds me of a time when people believed in themselves and the world. read more

This is what a chile relleno is: Chile relleno translates to "stuffed chili pepper" in Spanish, originating from Puebla, Mexico, as a dish consisting of a roasted pepper--typically a mild poblano--stuffed with cheese (or meat), dipped in egg batter, and fried. It is often served covered in a tomato-based salsa, offering a savory mix of melted cheese and crispy coating It is not traditional to use bell peppers for chile rellenos, as the dish is historically and fundamentally defined by using specific chile varieties. The most common and authentic choice is the poblano pepper, though Anaheim or Hatch chiles are also frequently used due to their similar size, shape, and ability to hold a filling. While you can use bell peppers as a substitute--especially if you want to avoid heat or cannot find traditional chiles--the resulting dish will differ significantly in flavor and texture. Unlike the thin-skinned, mildly spicy, and earthy poblano, bell peppers are thick-walled, sweet, and lack that characteristic "chile" flavor. If you choose to use them, consider roasting and peeling them first to improve their texture, as you would with a traditional poblano.

Not a traditional Mexican restaurant decorated wise. There are also TVs and such if you're trying to watch a game, etc. I don't live near here but would absolutely go back when I'm in the area!

The vibe is absolutely incredible. Our favorite server Omar was there to greet us. He's always the best. He makes the best menu suggestions and was even going to create a custom one just for me. We stopped in for the game and some light bites, and I decided to try something new: the Bob Marley Margarita. Let me tell you, it was outstanding. The flavors were enchanting, and it even came with the cutest little duck on top! We spent the entire game soaking up the atmosphere and stuffing ourselves with endless salsa, queso, and warm tortillas. It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. If you're in the neighborhood, you have to check out the new Hacienda. It's so nice to have this amazing spot in the community! #ashsaidit #dawsonville #hacienda

Not sure if it was the person who packed the order or if the driver just tossed it in the car willy-nilly. Either way, it was a leaky, greasy disaster when it got here. That's just the start. We unpacked the bag and saw that the portions were not only very small, but the food looked OLD. The Mexican guacamole was $10.99 and it's literally less than a cup. The avocados are brown, and there's a liquid gathered in the bottom of the container. I've had this dip in the restaurant multiple times and it's never been this small in portion nor this "wilted" (for lack of a better word.) The burritos had completely congealed and the red sauce on top was dried out. It's seriously disappointing as well as disgusting that $50 got us this kind of quality. These are combo 13&14. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one earned it 100 percent. I really hope they bounce back.

The pizza was extremely tasty and while I added a ton of toppings to my pizza, I still felt as if I could taste each and every one individually.

He was funny entertaining was so sweet to the kids at the table and cooked my steak and lobster to perfection. This has to be the most amazing fried rice I have ever had and the vegetables were fresh and large pieces and delicious. They were even amazing the next day when I had the leftovers. My son had the volcano roll absolutely delicious 16 pieces of fresh sushi. This location was the one all the way in Dawsonville and I believe it's worth the trip to come back here again, close to the premium outlets.
