    Steak taco
    Amber Q.

    The decor in this spot gave dive bar vibes. We were originally seated close to the kitchen and the view was messy so we asked to move. I liked that the drinks are reasonably priced. I had the organic margarita which was good. Our server was also nice and gave good recs. I had a steak taco and chicken tortilla soup. The chicken in the soup was off and did not taste fresh. The steak taco was fine. While we were eating we had to continually swat knats which was a turn off. I'm not sure if I'd come back - there's too many options around.

    Veggie taco

    I got my birthday nachos at the corner this year and I was not disappointed! The spicy ceasar salad was bomb. The restaurant was a little empty but the staff were quick and polite. They have some nice outdoor seating on the square. The nachos weee pretty good! BBQ sauce on nachos is a great touch. The veggie taco was mediocre.

    TLDR: 4/5 - great service, hearty tacos and a laid back vibe in the neighborhood Ordered Grilled Shrimp Taco: 4/5 - For a Shrimp taco they always seem to skimp out on the shrimp like is it not in the name? Happy to report they include plenty of shrimp! It was seasoned well and thankfully not overcooked phew. I did a disservice completely forgetting the Sriracha mayo but it's okay it was great on its own! Vegetable Taco: 2/5 - Nothing to write home about tragically but not a shocking revelation. The search continues for a decent veggie taco. Grilled Mahi: 4/5 - Quite tasty! The fish was flavored well and with some good fixings. I actually could've used a bit of heat. Guac: 5/5 - It was fire, unless I was just hungry. Ambiance: It's a nice neighborhood bar vibe. Casual. There's bar seating too if you wanna watch the games. Service: 5/5 - Everyone was friendly and accommodating! I'd go back!

    The good: great location, decent tacos, and excellent salsa. EXCELLENT salsa and chips. I'd go back just to eat them. The restaurant is pretty large and there's adequate seating at the bar for a game. The not so good: I sat at the bar with a friend, and the bartender was dry and had a bit of an attitude. That's enough of a turn off for me to not want to visit a place. If your attitude stinks, the food has to be amazing.

    Buffalo chicken taco always a hit, the all mixed up drink sangria and marg always good. ShiShi (spell check) the bartender can be a hit or a miss. The service at the bar was okay but the manager was able yo correct my order. I would refer to it as a QSR with a mom and pop ambiance.

    Fried Chicken Burrito with tortilla on the side
    Sade C.

    Best food ever!!! Starting from the warm complimentary chips and salsa. Followed by the fried chicken burrito with the tortilla served on the side with a creamy cilantro dressing... amazing!! The taste was just as pleasant as the service. Our bartender, Mila, recommended all the good stuff. My date and I ate very nice portions of our meals and even had leftovers. The margarita pitcher we ordered poured approximately 5 cups. Everything was great. I will be back!!!

    Queso
    Kandus J.

    Walked in here after having a couple drinks around other local businesses around 9:30pm. There was absolutely no worker to be seen. There were customers but 0 employees. After standing at the hostess stand for almost 5 minutes, we started to walk around only to find all of the employees in the hallway talking, some even sitting on the ground on their phone. We asked if they were open (we knew they were open) and they said yes and showed us to a table. We ordered 1 beer, 1 margarita, 2 veggie tacos, a side of black beans and guac and queso. What did we actually receive?! 1 beer and 2 veggie tacos. Our waitress, Jahmina, was absolutely terrible. She only came to our table twice; to take our order and to bring our check. Never once asked us if we needed a refill of water. We had to approach the bar to ask the bartender where our waitress was and we wanted to cancel the rest of our food since we had 1 taco each (after waiting over 15 minutes) and our waitress straight up told us she forgot about the other items. Terrible service. I would suggest supporting a better establishment in that area.

    Chicken fajitas fixins
    Talesha C.

    I am not satisfied. Our drinks didn't arrive until after our food did. We were going to leave the restaurant because it was taking so long but the waiter decided to go ahead and bring out our food. Not sure what he was waiting for. The $5 margaritas took forever to come. They were flavored well but it seems that they forgot to add the tequila. It was flavored juice. But hey maybe they remove the tequila in order to make sure the drinks are discounted at $5. I wasn't able to make any dent in the chicken fajitas because the chicken had a strange taste to me. The rice wasn't cooked well (there were a lot of hard pieces) and the black beans were a miss completely. My partner says the tacos were 'meh'. They were lukewarm; the steak had no flavor. The shrimp was probably the best one but it wasn't very good.

    Queso Fundido
    Doug G.

    The Corner Taqueria has been a staple in the Smyrna tacos and tequila scene since around 2012. They are located just inside Smyrna Market Village near the main entrance off Atlanta Road and are connected to Zucca Pizza. Corner Taqueria is a solid neighborhood spot that is more bar than restuarant, as the first thing you see when you walk in is the bar...where they have more tequila choices than food options. Additionally, they have several TV's lining the walls throughout the place, so it is definitely a place to catch the game! To be honest, if it wasn't for the Dos Equis "XX" on the wall, I would not know this place was a taqueria and focused on Mexican cuisine. This isn't a bad thing though, as I really enjoy the atmosphere, décor and layout! The menu is Mexican inspired and features the standards such as quesadillas, salads, queso, guacamole, nachos, rice, beans, burritos, tacos and a few house specialties. We did get chips and salsa shortly after being sat. They delivered crisp, well seasoned and tasty chips along with two salsas, one red and one green. When we ordered drinks, we tossed in an order of Queso Fundido, which was melted chihuahua cheese with peppers and chorizo served in a cast iron skillet alongside flour tortillas. While I am usually a fan of fundido and expect it to be thicker than your average queso, this version was tough to get through. It was the first queso I have ever had to cut to get onto my chip or tortilla. The cheese was melted, but I guess started to cool quickly, even with the cast iron, and it became a solid piece...not the best by far. For our dinners, we both got a couple of tacos. They have 10 varieties of tacos and between us we got (2) steak, (1) chicken and (1) fried mahi. The tacos were well dressed and filled nicely. The steak was good and well seasoned and the fish was thick, well breaded and the Sriracha tartar sauce was something I never knew I needed to experience! The chicken taco was good, a tad dry, but overall a tasty bite. While I just sipped on my water, my partner did get something from the bar, an Iceberg, which is a beer with a scoop of margarita in it. Never had it before and last night was not the last time I will have that simple yet fantastic combination! Service was solid. Our server was triple sat at the time we got there and while it was not the quickest service, she made sure to come by as often as possible to keep us updated and to apologize. She did an excellent job given the situation! Overall, Corner Taqueria is a great place in a fantastic location! We will definitely be back for lunch, dinner or game days!

    Came here after a staff meeting with coworkers on a Friday afternoon around 1pm. Not too crowded...just how I like it! lol We've been in the area before and it's usually pretty busy around lunch. We had the queso, which I devoured (as seen in pic lol) and the following tacos for lunch: veggie, grilled mahi, and chicken (?) - can't remember what the third one was, but it was all delicious and very filling. Had to take an extra taco to go. The waitress was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and customer oriented. I heard the margaritas are good too, so I'll have to come back to see for myself sometime. Enjoy!

    Mahi & Shrimp taco
    Rylie L.

    The mahi & shrimp tacos are amazing. Their both on the spicy side so beware. Food came out quickly and the outside patio area is dog friendly! I will say the mahi taco itself was $7 which feels a little high but they tasted amazing! Our waitress was super nice and attentive and brought out a water bowl for our dog. Great location right in the smyrna area.

The place is nice inside but not as intimate as I was expecting for a speakeasy. It's a fairly casual vibe inside with a bar and some seating around the sides. I really enjoyed the cocktails. They're light but really well balanced in their flavors. We had called ahead of time and were told the place closed at 10 PM but at 9:30, they already turned on the lights and were getting people to leave. We felt rushed out of there which wasn't fun especially since we called ahead. Also, there were fruit flies all over the place and in our faces. The entire time, we were fighting off the fruit flies which really dulled the experience. There was 10+ so it was very annoying. Hopefully they can fix that problem and it will make for a more enjoyable experience.

    We came here with a group of 12 to celebrate a 60th birthday, and overall the dinner experience was…read moregreat. The food was excellent, the drinks were on point, and our waitress did an awesome job handling such a large party. She stayed on top of everything and made sure we were taken care of all night. After dinner, we decided to check out the speakeasy through the freezer door--Eleanor's--and unfortunately, that's where the experience took a turn. The atmosphere itself was nice--semi-dark with a cool concept--but it could definitely lean more into a darker, more immersive speakeasy vibe. The bigger issue, though, was the service. It was night and day compared to upstairs. The waitress came across as rude and unwelcoming from the start. A few of us sat down in a small corner area with an L-shaped bench and some extra chairs we had to pull over ourselves. Obviously, with 12 people, there was no way we were all fitting there, yet she insisted she wouldn't take any drink orders until everyone was seated. That made no sense, especially since there was standing room and even a bar-height table available. To make matters worse, there was zero acknowledgment of the birthday--not even a simple "happy birthday," which felt like a missed opportunity given the occasion. When we asked about Fireball shots, the response was a blunt "um, no," followed by "you can have water," as she started filling glasses. That pretty much summed up the vibe we got. Not sure if this is typical service down there or just an off night, but it was enough to make us decide we wouldn't come back to the speakeasy. Bottom line: If you're in the area, definitely check out Muss & Turner's for dinner--it's worth it. But I'd skip Eleanor's and save your time and money.
