The tacos are always on point--fresh, seasoned just right, and you can actually taste the difference. My favorite are the birria tacos... they are sooo good, flavorful, and definitely something I keep coming back for The drinks are good too and add to the whole experience, especially if you're going for a chill night out. The vibe is fun and lively, perfect for linking with friends or a cute date night. Service can get a little busy depending on the time, but once the food comes out, it's worth it. read more

I stopped at Taqueria Margarita on two occasions around lunch time. It is located in the Chevron gas station parking lot. The inside has seating available, so we opted to sit down to enjoy the meal. The first visit was on a weekday afternoon & the cashier was so sweet, welcoming & friendly. She took her time to explain the menu options to me as a first timer, offering suggestions and allowed me to sample the agua refrescas. I liked the pineapple enough to buy a small cup & the hibiscuis was also good. On the first visit I opted for tacos & she explained that they were award winning from 2020 in a competition! I ordered a carne asada, pollo and el pastor. My husband had the hibiscus drink and decided to order a six piece with fries and two carne asada tacos. There was a refrigerated bar that included salsas and sauces, spicy peppers and lime. It took about 15 minutes to receive our food, mainly because of the chicken wings, but everything came out hot and fresh. My favorite taco of the day was the pastor! The wings had decent flavor, and my preference was the lemon pepper. Everything was fresh, but I did not like the shredded chicken taco (mainly because it was dry & needed more seasoning) and the steak had good flavor but was a little dry. The tortillas were fresh and you could tell they were homemade. When we came back on a Sunday for lunch, I decided to try the carne asada nachos with a side order of fries & they were delicious. The steak was juicy and well seasoned, the chips were fresh, the white queso was a good consistency too & it had fresh lettuce, white onion, tomatoes and cilantro. I asked what toppings came on it before ordering it and she made sure to include everything that I asked for. My husband ordered more tacos & wings & my son went for the hot wings and fries. The food was even better on Sunday afternoon than during the week. Overall, I am so glad I tried this spot. They are affordable and offer good flavors! I recommend if you are in the area. read more

What is it about gas stations having the best tacos? From handmade corn tortillas to authentic street food style selections, everything about Taqueria Margarita just hits the spot. Food is extremely fresh and there is a well kept up salsa station next to the ordering counter. The highlight is probably the lengua taco, although others are solid. I would recommend skipping the Al Pastor and Carne Asada as both are a bit on the drier side. Tripa is for those who like to get adventurous and they offer a chewier and crispier option. The handmade tortillas themselves are really the star of the show here, perhaps some of the best out there. Salsas are also quite excellent and cannot be understated. Pair all that with a Mexican coke or a horchata and life suddenly gains some new colors. Keep in mind, despite the seemingly obscure location, this is a very popular spot and there is often a bit of a line to order, although it's still pretty quick. For a Mexican street food experience in Georgia countryside, this is one of the best. read more

Hidden off the beaten path behind the gas station you'll find this awesome spot that's full of delicious Mexican food that has something for everyone! So as soon as we walked in there was this super cute older lady greeting us from back in the kitchen she came up and then took our order and was as friendly as anyone could be! Of the many options to drink I got my go to a horchata and let me say it was that awesome mix of sugar cinnamon that one could ask for! The tacos here were the real star as their tortillas were totally handmade and fresh making for a whole vibe with each bite the asada one was yummy and just what you'd expect in a yummy asada taco but the real star was the Pastor as it was super flavorful and totally hit the spot as it was just that much more yummier with a bit of their yummy salsa from that awesome bar that's full of delicious choices! Of their salsa I liked the green and the red as both had just a good mix of hot and flavor at the same time! My friend ordered flautas and she said she very much so enjoyed them! Overall this was a yummy spot to grab some tacos and delicious Mexican specialties so do yourself a favor and definitely check them out you'll be stoked you did! read more

Thank you Yelper for the recommendation!! I order 2 tacos de Asada, 1 Lingua, 1 Al-pastor and am loving the no-frills authentic flavors of this hidden gem. I am sorry that I didn't order 2 of each as they are going down like cotton candy!! I am adding this restaurant to my ATL list for the next time I make it down from Chicago. The only complaint is that they do not serve Diet Coke.. read more

Taqueria Margarita - Asada, lingua, Al pastor. - Mexican Near Me - Austell, Georgia

So I'm mad I didn't filter the ratings before I love forward with my order. When I say this was the most tasteless food I have had, I mean it. I could be wrong but it appeared they used canned chicken, they did not season the steak I had at all, and the overall food was just horrible. They can stand to do much better, but the rating is accurate. The food is without taste and it was just all around bad. I went based on good reviews, but they were accurate. I won't be back. read more

Tacos were all decent but the chimichangas were not very tasty and the taquitos were fried way to hard

This is the ultimate hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Prices are like the early 2010s here, and the food is all really good. Strong salsa bar here too. This is my go to for a quick and easy meal. Easily my favorite Mexican restaurant in this area and maybe all of Atlanta as I haven't had great Mexican food out here. Again this is a casual place, but the service is great and they're always cleaning the restaurant, I highly recommend going here if you want well priced and tasty food. read more

Visited in the evening and ordered the steak tacos. The meat was chewy and seemed old. Later that night and into the next morning, I had a severe stomach ache. Really disappointed and concerned about the food quality. read more

I order 3 chicken tacos! It wasn't good at all also it's shredded and dry with NO TASTE AT ALL. I'm so sad because I was on break and I thought it was authentic but they definitely showed me wrong. Sorry i'll stick to "Taco el rey" and " Real Tacos" # NEVERAGAIN #WASTEDMYLUNCHBREAK read more

Awesome food and super friendly staff. Authentic Mexican and it's so delicious! They even have home made salsas and condiments that are so good. Their pico de gallo and avocado salsa and salsa verde are my faves. The sopes are awesome! Tortillas are made in house, everything is super fresh. I've had the tacos, sopes, papusas, quesadillas, fajitas and more. All great! read more

Food, service and ambience was very good.? We had a large group and food was hot. Drinks were great!

Is it possible to give a place more than 5 stars?! No, that's a shame. Hidden gem near Fulton Industrial that is delivering really good Mexican food. Located beside a gas station, you are warmly greeted by the owner/family. Spanish soap operas have always seemed to be playing on the television, which I love. There is a small make shift market with a few select fresh vegetables and other goodies. I'll start by saying I traditionally stay away from Mexican Restaurants. The gimmicky food of tacos on flour tortillas with sour cream and all other kind of crap loaded on it, I hate it. But this is not that, this my friend is better! Corn tortillas, meat, onions, and cilantro w/ a lime on the side. That's it. Nothing more is needed. They have a few different salsas of varying heat levels that were all delicious. Since eating here for the first time I have become a regular. Everything I have had is good. Burritos, the tacos, the Gorditas, the papusa's, hell the wings lol. This isn't a mexican restaurant, it's a Taqueria. Know the difference but this place is amazing enough to try. Do yourself a favor and do just that. read more

Looking for authentic Mexican food? Well here is where to find it. Simple menu with delicious flavors. Taquiera Margarita is hidden next to a chevron gas station behind Thornton road. It's a great lunch spot with low priced tacos, sopes, gorditas, tortas, and so much more. My coworker always gets the chicken taco's and tops it off with their EXTREMELY spicy orange hot sauce. I always get the chorizo sope's and they haven't disappointed me yet. The staff is friendly, and they have indoor seating, but don't come during the 11-1pm lunch rush and expect to find a seat. it is usually packed with local workers trying to take a break from working outside. There's parking in front of the restaurant, but since it's attached to a gas station, you can find parking anyway. read more

Awesome store and great food! I ordered for takeout. I especially like their carne asada gorditas: the wrap is fried and they have a good ratio between onions and meat. The tacos are also great, but the chicken meat is a bit chewy. Overall, I am pleased with my experience. Would definitely come back again. read more

After our favorite cheap Mexican spot decided not to prepare barbacoa today, we quickly went on Yelp to find a replacement. Hubby found Taqueria Margarita close to our home and we were quite pleased! The restaurant is adjacent to a gas station but don't let that deter you. A friendly little old lady prepared our meal as if she was in her home kitchen and it tasted as such. We ordered two barbacoa burritos and a selection of tacos (see photo), along with rice and beans. When hubby found out that tamales were the weekend special, he grabbed two chicken since she was out of pork - those were tasty as well. The prices were also legit with a hefty burrito under $5. The restaurant also offers gorditas and other Mexican specialties that are sometime hard to find in Atlanta. We are always happy to find good local Mexican spots so we will definitely be back! read more

Taqueria Margarita - Quesadillas de pollo and cheese Super delicious - Mexican Near Me - Austell, Georgia

I was very disappointed with the quality of the food. The flavor wasn't much better. I base my opinion on eating authentic Mexican food in SoCal for 12+ yrs and numerous trips to Mexico. I had 3 Carne Asada tacos that were just chewy and mushy. The beans and rice weren't anything to write home about either. As long as I don't get sick I'll recommend getting a meal there just don't expect to be blown away. read more

I great authentic place that has pretty good tacos u will definitely enjoy. They are very quick with your order and the staff was friendly upon entry. read more

Having worked in the same area of town for over a decade, I'm always looking for a new spot to mix up my lunch routine. Taqueria Margarita looked more akin to Buford Highway style Mexican cuisine than others in the neighborhood and warranted the 15 minute drive. Upon pulling into the parking lot, you will noticed its on the end of a strip with a gas station. They have some bread, pineapples and other ingredients in cabinets out in front of the kitchen I presume are for sale. I found this quite reassuring and really hammered in the "home cooked" vibe. No microwaved enchilada plates here. The staff speak primarily Spanish, but I've never had a problem communicating with them (even though my Spanish is absolutely horrible.) The prices posted on the menu are crazy cheap, even though I was notified that one of the items I ordered was going to be like $2 more than what was posted. It was still a great deal. Im particularly fond of the Gorditas here. I usually like to try new things when I frequent restaurants, but cant seem to get past at least ordering one Gordita every time I come here. Co-workers always seemed shocked at how good of Mexican food I am able to procure for them, far surpassing the quality of Mexican food closer to our office. I love the Taqueria Margarita is getting some love and always has enough people in their little dinning area to make me believe they will continue to thrive. It is by far the best Mexican food I have had OTP. read more

Legit Mexican food. So much better than everything else around this area. The ladies are super nice, the prices are beyond reasonable, and the food is dynamite. A must go place when I am in town read more

It's not Taco Tuesday so I went with something other than tacos. I'm telling you, this lady makes dreams come true. Gordita, quesadilla and sope to rival any you've had before, if not beat the pants off whatever you had before. The sauces are bomb too! I would ask her to marry me, but I think she's taken. Either way, I'm coming back for tacos. read more

Tacos are great! Fresh cut greens and vegetables. Salsa needs some help. What I got wasn't salsa I'm used to and would have loved to have had cheese dip with my order. If they worked on those two things alone and fixed up their decor, IMO this place would have people lined out the street. I will definitely be back for more tacos. read more

Great service & Great authentic Mexican food. Everything came out quick and delicious! Recommend for sure!

We have never been here to eat before and I have been wanting to ever since I seen it and that was years ago. I'm glad we finally had a chance to finally visit. The restaurant is tucked away next to a gas station. The parking is ample because the other would be businesses on each side are vacant. The outside of the store is clean and inviting. When we went inside there was another couple eating. The employees were very friendly and welcomed us when we came inside. We decided to order a lot of different things after reading the reviews we were confident enough that we would not be disappointed. He ordered the carne asada nachos and 5 carne asada tacos. I ordered a pupusas with Chicarone and cheese, a carne asada gordita and a carne asada chimichanga. My only complain about the items we ordered was the chimichanga looked like a burrito because it was 7not deep fried like I expected. They happily dropped it into the fryer before we left. I wish it was fried a little harder, next time I will have to ask them to fry it hard. We got our food to go because of covid 19 we decided against eating there. They did have an open buffet style section with sauces and jalapeno. We chose not to use it because of covid. I asked if they had sauce in the back and she only had 1 kind and the jalapeno I wanted she didn't have any in the back so I skipped the rest. When we came home we had a great time tasting and trying each other's foods. The pupusas was incredibly good and I wish I ordered 2 of them. I think I will return again on Sunday and get some tamales. I really wish I could have gotten a few. We were very impressed and can't wait to go eat there again. It was the best Mexican food hands down we've had in a long time. We highly recommend. read more

I was so excited to try here after the reviews. Since moving to Camp Creek i have been looking to try a mexican spot that rivals Tacos al Guero and Tacos la Villa. This aint it . I got two steak tacos and a gordita( carne) . The steak tacos were perfectly portioned but lacking flavor. The gordita bread was disgusting, it tasted like a bread cake... maybe idk what a gordita is supposed to be but dont get this yall... the meat wasnt seasoned at all it was just nasty. It was just ok. They are missing a really good salsa to bring everything together. The green salsa was just ok but the hot one.. ( and i LOVE hot food ) was inedible it just tastes... HOT if that makes sense. I will drive to Cobb cause this aint it read more

Ordered my food (one burrito, one chimichanga, and cheese dip and chips) in an empty restaurant, line started building immediately after and soon the restaurant was full, everyone was sitting and eating and I was still waiting for my food. Their 'cheese dip' is just that cheap yellow nacho cheese, but the food was not bad honestly, but would not give any more than just that. I usually love taquerias, but for some reason had a terrible experience here. Will not be returning read more

Had the chicken burritos with queso and lettuce tomato and sour cream. A lot of food for the price. I cleaned my plate with no shame! I was full and satisfied when I left. Great frozen margaritas too. read more

My husband tried this on a whim and told me how good it was. So we went back the next day and I was not disappointed. Authentic Mexican food that's inexpensive and delicious. We got the quesadillas and gorditas. Next time I will try the juice. read more

Pleasant surprise, in the middle of nowhere. What impressed me most was the freshness of the food. The chicken quesadilla was amazing. The homemade juices are splendid. I had 3 tacos too, chicken, fish and chorizo. I didnt like the chorizo sausage they serve. read more

Like you stepped across the border. Mostly Hispanic people eating in here but that means it's authentic! You aren't going for the atmosphere but the food is really good. The price is very reasonable also. It's a little, ok a lot, "divey" but if you are ok with that then you will get good authentic Mexican food. read more

This is the best find for authentic Mexican food in the south. This took me back to the days spent in TJ, Guadalajara, and all the little towns and countryside. Everything is hand made in this modest kitchen like your Abuela made for you, it will take you back to those times when your feet dangled and swayed with anticipation. Flavors dancing on your childhood tastebuds. Small menu, but all good things come in a small package. Handmade tortillas, steak, chicken, Menudo to take away that headache. You name it they got it, or can make it. Awesome is all I can say! Enjoy your trip South in this little restaurant. read more

Great food and very friendly staff! I ordered seven of the steak tacos and it very flavorful. The price wasn't bad either.

I've been looking for a good Mexican place near by where I an visiting from work. The menu isn't large, but the taste is. This is the first place since I left Texas that even comes close to authentic TexMex. It's not the most appealing place, but I highly recommend it. read more

It's pretty good. Tried the burritos, tacos and quesadillas. I'm a big fan of the small quesadillas...

My boyfriend and I stopped in one day just to see what this place was. Much to our surprise the food was awesome. But their juice stole it for us. Fresh and nothing but juice from fruit they juice themselves. We get their tacos and quesadillas. Their nachos are really too. We have turned most of my office onto this place. The staff is very friendly and professional. Since our first visit, we've been back multiple times. read more

Very surprised by the authentic Mexican food at this small off the beaten path restaurant. Staff was awesome food was great and it felt like I was a guest at their house... Definitely worth a try read more

If you want real Mexican come here. Tucked away next to a chevron it's not the most inviting but good lord the street tacos are fantastic!!! Only disappointment was they were out of lengua. Definitely moves into my top 5 for Atlanta tacos with the likes of taco truck L10000000 and tacos lavilla. They are doing it right in this little joint. Do yourself a favor and just go. read more

Went to have lunch here with coworkers and the food was authentic, fresh, and delicious. They had made-from-scratch horchata and pineapple juice. I had the burrito which was surprisingly substantial given the very fair $4.99 price. I didn't get to try the tacos but they looked delicious and everything was made to order with friendly service. The interior is pretty bare and the location is somewhat odd but they make up for it with the food and the friendliness! read more
