I just discovered this local gem! The food was great: I had the chile relleno/taco lunch special and my brother had the lunch fajitas, and everything was amazing. The service was awesome. The booths were comfortable. The music was pleasant. My only wish was that the chips were thinner, but my brother preferred them over thinner chips because he could scoop more salsa without fear of them breaking. There's a lot on the lunch menu to choose from; I look forward to trying more dishes here. My brother declared this his favorite Mexican restaurant now, so I'll have ample opportunity to try everything. read more

the huevos rancheros was delicious right up until water dripped out of the ceiling into my food and when I told the staff, a couple people came over and stared at the ceiling for a couple seconds above me and then charged me full price for the meal lmao read more

Changed it up and gave this place a try tonight. Really impressed with service and food. Carnitas and fajita plates were large. Tasty too. The salsa with street tacos was great. Didn't have drinks but will be back. read more

There was a friendly greeting as I entered and again when we exited. And the waitress was also attentive and kept my drink refilled and ensured that I had no needs. There is plenty of seating indoors with an offering of both booths and tables. And there is also a large covered patio with plastic sheeting to keep the weather out. I was immediately served warm and crisp tortilla chips with a smooth salsa of medium heat. I had the Steak & Shrimp entree which let me try a lot of different ingredients and I found all of decent quality. The seasoning on the steak was delicious and the shrimp were large and plump. And all the side items (flour tortillas, guacamole, pico, rice, beans, queso, onions, peppers, etc.) were good. I would be happy to return and try other items on the menu and the location is close so I expect to be back soon. read more

Food is always good service is great friendly staff even to go orders great. Love the Marquita's too

My husband and I have a mini-date here almost every Wednesday night while our kids are at church. The servers are always kind and attentive, and the food is great, consistent, and comes out quickly. Just a great little spot overall! Definitely recommend giving it a try. I almost always get the Enchiladas Verdes w/ chicken, so I'd definitely recommend that if you like a tangier take on enchiladas - I also really love their chicken soup! read more

I placed a order online and my food was ready way before the pickup time it was room temperature the meat wasnt flavorful and as soon as I attended to pick up my burrito it fell apart they didn't wrap it all they placed it like a taco upside down in the container read more

Tapatios Mexican Restaurant - California burrito and enchiladas verde - Mexican Near Me - Canton, Georgia

For those who have read my reviews you know I am disgusted by places that use the cheapest of flatware with forks that bend and cut your fingers. Tapatios has some of the cheapest forks and knives i have ever seen and they do have sharp edges. Now, lets get to the food. I have been here twice. The food was not bad at all and is to me on par with most of the other Mexican places in the area. The salsa is fair at best and for sure nothing to write home about which was disappointing. Other than the sub-par salsa the food was ok and worthy of a try if you do not mind dealing with the other issues Tapatios seems to have. The biggest Cons of Tapatios was the Salsa, Silverware, and the Service. After being seated we were served quickly but after that our server was nowhere to be found. There were plenty of people working there as servers but our server disappeared and never refilled our drinks. I later spotted our server working at the bar and serving others and talking with some women and we could not get his attention until he gave us our check. There was also another server in our area who was walking around picking his nose all the time we were there, Not something you really want to see while you are eating. read more

Very good and authentic Mexican food. Always have good food when we come here. Only place in Canton I'd put above here is the taco/food stand inside Costa De Jalisco which is a market not that far from here in Canton. Very good food though. read more

We have been here a few times now. Food is consistently good but drinks are also consistently weak. Will continue to eat here when I'm not also wanting a margarita. read more

Great food! Definitely recommend the Molcajete, we ordered the one for 1 person and was enough food for my dad and I it was delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Food AND service are EXCELLENT! I especially love the street tacos with their made from scratch SPICY TOMATILLO sauce. read more

PROS: - The alcohol was good - No wait on a Friday night - our meals came out timely - staff wore masks and enforced social distancing as much as possible. CONS: - it wasn't severely packed, but we had to wait 15 minutes to get greeted. Servers constantly passed us, but we weren't greeted. - queso was garbage. No flavor no nothing. Just tasted horrible. - the ignorance on the patio was rampant. Drunk boys (maybe just turned 21) never make for an enjoyable meal. I know this is beyond their control, but still needs to be noted. read more

My wife and I eat Mexican food all the time. I cook it often and we have had it all over the world. This neighborhood Mexican restaurant is pretty good. We came in after a long day of exploring northern Georgia and we need something to drink and eat. We both ordered margaritas and they were strong. I got a frozen one and my wife went with the regular one. Mine was so strong and I loved it. It took me all meal to finish it and I am no light weight. We ordered the bean and chicken nachos, the enchiladas supremes and a quesadilla. The bean and chicken nachos were good in that they had some nice sized chunks of chicken on them, but I expected a little bit more veggies, guacamole, and sour creme on top. The enchiladas were good. I had different types and they all tasted good. My wife enjoyed her quesadilla. The service was really good. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. Our server was on top of her game and kept checkin in on us. She even came back to refill the water which is the mark of a great server in my book. The total bill was pretty fair too. This is a nice spot, with decent Mexican, and great service. Give it a shot. read more

This place was very good! Our server was awesome. Brought a few colleagues here for a work lunch and they loved it! Can't wait for the next visit. One colleague ordered a bowl. The other ordered tacos while I got the burrito. read more

This place was is so bad go somewhere else and eat didn't even get any silverware and food was bad and it is to expensive.

They sat us in the corner, brought us chips and for 20 minutes never saw a server. This is the most incompetent place I've ever been to I would not recommend for anyone. Will never come here again. read more

Passing through Mississippi we stopped here. It's a convenient location right off the hi-way. We ordered the fajita consisting of chicken, ribeye and shrimp. The order came out very fast and was very good. Can't say the same for the salsa, which was very bland, but came with a generous helping of chips. The service is not so great, but I can always overlook that if the kitchen sends out great tasting dishes. On a side note the town square is very cool and worth the time to take a gander around it. read more

Good, fresh Mexican food! Very consistent; we've been several times. Margaritas are great also.

amazing food! the salsa is so fresh and absolutely incredible! every time we eat here we say we would just come for the chips and salsa, they're that good! the corn tortillas are made fresh from masa and make a huge difference. best local mexican food! read more

Wow. Ownership & name have changed, along with some slight menu tweaks. But the dish I wanted to try is still here. I had: The Molcajete! A molcajete is a bowl, typically carved out of one piece of volcanic basalt. You've seen these things at some of those restaurants that make tableside-fresh guacamole. THIS Molcajete is a gigantic, basalt bowl of grilled chicken, steak, pork, shrimp, cactus (yes, cactus) and Mexican chorizo and fajita veggies, and some tortillas to boot. It was delicious. And it was HUGE. There's enough food in that volcanic-rock for two people. Maybe three. I took home leftovers. And then I danced around the house like an Aztec warrior. I get the notion that some pride is involved with the serving of this signature dish. Our server was very friendly, and my ordering the Molcajete yielded a certain sparkle in his eye. Our food came out quickly, and as I said: It. Was. Delicious. I'll certainly be going back. Holler if you're coming with. read more

Excellent service and tasty food makes for a good night. Be sure to ask for the spicier salsa if you like it hot. I found both salsas to be fresh and delcious to be honest. The small chicken soup was a winner. It was loaded with flavor and all the items you would expect. For the main course i had the shrimp diabla extra spicy. It was a solid attempt but the sauce reminded me of a thick ketchup which was kind of weird.... I would recommend this restaurant. It's a keeper read more

Tapatios Mexican Restaurant - the spicy shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Canton, Georgia

A great neighborhood Mexican restaurant, the food is great no matter what you order off the menu. I suggest you try there mixed drinks as well, they have a full stocked bar ready for what ever your choice may be. Great patio seating as well and if the weather doesn't cooperate, you can still sit on the patio and be protected. Tapatios has a great and very knowledgeable staff that is fast and courteous that will take care of any needs that may arise. Two thumbs up read more

The fajitas Mexicanas delighted the palate with marinaded, flavorful, juicy meat. The taquitos were a tad singed at one end but a reasonably tasty dish with a generous helping of multiple sides. Modest prices- $12.95 and $7.95 respectively. Fresh made guacamole for $3.75 was also a great value. And the service was outstanding. Hostess with a smile and an attentive server ensured our return. read more

This is by far my favourite Mexican restaurant to go to. It's such a welcoming atmosphere. Convenient location right off of Hickory Flats Hwy. I am greeted right when I walk in. You receive complimentary tortilla chips with spicier-than-most-but-not-toooo-spicy house salsa. I especially love their street tacos (chorizo!) and the delicious chicken tamales. Check out their lunch specials from 12-3. Closed only on Mondays. Full bar, nice beer selection, and the margaritas are on point. Huge plus: servers are awesome, professional, and super friendly! read more

Our dining experience started off great by being promptly greeted, seated, given chips, salsa and water. Our waiter was attentive, took our order quickly and then...we waited and waited and waited. Meanwhile, I noticed a large party that was being loud and difficult. This created the flow of the restaurant to come to a standstill, so I am not going to let that affect my review. I truly feel if this unruly, rude group was not there, our service would have continued to be great. When we finally received our order, chili verde and shrimp fajita's, our food was delicious. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked. The chili verde had big chunks of deliciously seasoned pork. The chips were served warm and salsa was very tasty. I will return if I am ever back in that area. read more

We ordered dinner to go. My husband didn't eat his right away so, a few hours later, when he did eat his $13 burrito, he found it had no meat in it! We called the restaurant to ask if we could exchange it for one with meat. The guy on the phone just kept saying "that was hours ago. Why are you just now calling?" (A) That isn't really your business. (B) we weren't being rude- just wanted the right burrito. (C) My husband got so frustrated he said, "Nevermind, forget it." And the guy hung up on him without responding. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Please take your money elsewhere. read more

Surprised and full, hard to find a good Mexican place besides Buford Hwy, but this little spot was very good. Clean and helpful staff (Pedro was efficient and quick) and good house margarita, I recommend! read more

I came with family tonight. I ordered a Pineapple Margarita, frozen. Not good! I think that they forgot the alcohol. My appetizer was bean dip. It was good but surprising. It came in a flour tortilla bowl, and was more like a cheese dip with a few beans at the bottom. It was still very good though. For my main course I had The Molcajete. That was good. I had never had cactus and it wasn't bad. The carnita in it was awesome!! The rest of the meat was well seasoned and tender. The service was lacking. Our server was inattentive. I will be back to try other things on the menu. read more

I am still trying to find some decent Mexican food in the area and after eating at Tapatios we will keep looking. We came in for a "late" Sunday lunch and were seated right away and given drinks and chips soon after. Their salsa has some flavor and that is the only reason we decided on 2 stars. My husband had a burrito and I had the enchiladas (supreme). We would have had tamales also but the waiter walked off before I finished ordering. When our food finally came out despite a "hot plate" it was lukewarm. The enchiladas were barely sauced with a cheap canned sauce that was bland. My husband's burrito was bland also. Service wise, I was given a water refill when my glass was near empty and we waited 15 minutes to get our check. We will not be back. read more
