Went here last night around 7ish, had a waiting time for 15 to 20 mins not that bad. Finally got sat down and the service was horrible. The waiter was nice but the waiting for drinks for 20 -30 mins due to just having one bartender for a packed restaurant is ridiculous! Ordered our food, waitress apologized for the wait on drinks and blames the bartender. So we order our food, already wondering how long would the food take. It took 35 + to get our food , it was literally just a party of 2!! And 2 fish tacos each!! First time going there def wouldn't go back. The tacos were delicious though, mojito coulda been better. read more

The Corner Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

My friend Melissa ate it corner taco.If she said , the maria tacos were really good and that they had really good flaunts because she likes to chicken read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Alex at the bar is amazing! She is very customer focused, and attentive... she makes excellent drinks. She make great recommendations for food. Overall five service overall.

Great food! The burritos are packed and for a good price. All the staff are fast and kind.

I came to this restaurant last night with a group of 7 friends. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed both the food and the drinks. The bartender made really good Organic (skinny) margaritas and the food was exceptional. I had the steak fajita which was a good price, filling, and very tasty. I will definitely come back here when I'm the area. read more

Fun place, good prices and good food! Chips and salsa to start then built my own burrito. Burrito was huge and came with a lot of toppings. Yum! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Update: in response to the owner's comment I'd like to note that the additional table offered was a high table top with barstools (so 2 feet taller than our table and it couldn't be pushed together) and it was around 5 feet away from our large table. So the couple people seated there wouldn't be able to communicate with the rest of the group over the noise, which would have negated it being a team activity. I don't really understand why pushing together same-height tables was not an option. I tried to communicate what we needed but the host said that was the only table available. I didn't want ti be a Karen about it and demand the manager. Thanks I came here with a 10 person group after a rec league kickball game recently and we had a slightly annoying experience. The main thing that was frustrating- I had called earlier in the day to see about making a reservation and they don't take any which I understand. However, they said if I had a group of 4-10 for the time frame we would be there, it should be ok since it was post-dinner rush. Well we get there and the host is super confused and even though the restaurant is half empty they have no idea where to put our group. It was starting to look like we'd have to go somewhere else until some other workers walked up and mentioned this one larger table that is mostly a big booth but has room for chairs on the outside as well. It was a super super tight squeeze. I had no room for my legs the entire time honestly and it just irks me a bit that we could see tons and tons of empty tables and there wasn't some sort of protocol in place to take a larger group. Keep in mind, the corner taqueria was working with GoKickball to be our designated "league bar"... even though they couldn't seat the minimum size of a team? It just doesn't make any sense. The food was alright/pretty good and the server was nice. But I definitely wish they could've handled our situation better. read more

Not a lot of people inside for Gameday Sunday as the patio was better occupied. My Brother is a sit at the bar guy, there we sat. Tia, the Bartender & Server gave us good service, convo with masks & all. After someone shouted I'm a Vegan as if Vegans can't navigate at bars, Tia let me know the options & accommodations that would benefit me. I was so gearing for those Tater Tots, yet Tia came back to say they were fried in the chicken grease so I had to pass on those. No sweat off my plant based back as there's nothing like good old Chips & Salsa, a Veggie Taco & a glass of wine while watching your Giants get beat. An extremely welcoming & friendly atmosphere. read more

The restaurant is a perfect little lunch easy dinner spot. The food was good. When I ordered myself and daughter corn tortillas the server asked about gluten intolerances and suggestions to stay away from which I thought was very proactive. The tables are all high tops but they can buckle boosters instead of high chairs my kid actually preferred it to high chairs. Overall great lunch spot read more

The food is not good. My friends and I ordered a calamari taco, steak taco, nachos, and burrito. All the flavors were very subpar. The calamari in the taco was spoiled and tasted very fishy. It also had a blue looking mold on it. Unfortunately we had not noticed it until after we had bitten into the taco. The steak in the taco had little to no flavor and tasted primarily like cheese. The burrito also did not taste good either unfortunately. The best thing we had was the nachos which were ok overall. The prices are also pretty high despite the food quality. I would not recommend this restaurant and you would be better off finding another Mexican restaurant to go to. read more

Not so crowded towards the late evening... Got seated quickly.... Wasn't crowded at all but seem to take long for the food to come out... Server name was name Emile, she was ok, solid server but could've been better... Chicken nachos was large and really good!! read more

Love this place!! Great food, good drinks, easy in the wallet. Check the board for specials and what are the best nights to go back. Have been around the menu and I love everything I eat here. The meats are prepared right, everything has great flavor and there is something for everyone. The veggie tacos are excellent!! They are extremely efficient so even if it's busy the wait isn't usually too long. The servers are accommodating and they have indoor and outdoor bar style seating. High chairs available for the little ones and yes they have a kids menu. I recommend this to anyone in the area. Right off Atlanta Rd, just East if Windy Hill or Just west of Concord. read more

The Corner Taqueria - Chicken Taco and Buffalo chicken taco - Mexican Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

I love this place. I came here 3x in the past 7 days because it is amazing and I am obsessed There are so many options on the menu, I was able to try totally different food and drinks each time. Appetizer wise, the queso is a must, it is delicious and comes with jalapeños on the side, and the guac is nice and fresh as well. All of the tacos are delicious, but I think my favorite is the buffalo chicken. They are the perfect size, and full of meat and toppings! The burrito bowls are massive and delicious with so many options for toppings as well. I love all of the margaritas, and love that frozen is an option!! Always enjoy the mango flavoring and pomegranate when they have it! We love that the tables out front are dog friendly too. Will absolutely be back soon! read more

Nice corner bar with tacos. We were here for the fall Jonquil festival and gave it a try. Nice high quality fresh Mexican. Fish was really fresh. They make their own chips. Salsa was homemade and good, red and green. More of a bar than a restaurant. Limited seating, and not very kid friendly. And a little pricey for tacos. But really good food and friendly staff. If you are here shopping it is a good place to hang out. read more

After a breakdown in service at Atkins Park Tavern across the street (even after making reservations, we still had to wait for a table and we never saw our drink orders, so we walked out), we found ourselves at The Corner Taqueria where, on this particular day, service was exceptionally better (compared to Atkins Park). We had a quick, satisfying lunch here. This is a casual taqueria and bar that opened in 2012 in Smyrna Market Village. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant, but there are plenty of spaces elsewhere on the property. The restaurant is spacious and ideal for groups large and small. There's a jukebox, music, TVs, and an enclosed patio. The atmosphere is laid back and lively. I'm not sure if there are separate lunch and dinner menus. I don't think there are. When we visited, there were eight starters priced at $5.99 (queso) to $10.99 (smothered nachos) each, five entree-sized salads starting at $5.99 each, 10 different kinds of tacos at $3.99 (pulled pork) to $4.99 each (calimari, grilled shrimp), $7.99 burritos and burrito bowls, entrees like alambre (steak and shrimp skewers) and steak and chicken fajitas for $11.99 to $14.99 each, and quesadillas ($7.99-11.99 each). There's also a kids menu with under-$5 items. I had the blacked mahi ($11.99) which consisted of a 6-ounce blackened fillet of mahi topped with The Corner Taqueria's homemade mango salsa and served with a side of red rice and green beans. For a relatively healthy dish, I thought it was tasty and enjoyable. The fish seemed fresh enough and cooked appropriately (decent texture and flavor) and I liked the yummy mango salsa. The rice and green beans were basic, but nicely seasoned with just enough salt on the green beans. Admittedly, while I didn't think my dish was spectacular -- it leaned more towards 3 stars ("A-OK") than 4 -- I'm bumping The Corner Taqueria up for their service. Plus, you can rarely go wrong with complimentary chips and salsa. Here, they give you two salsas: green and red and they, along with the chips (warm, crispy, crunchy, and relatively thick), are flavorful and addictive. The hostess and our server were friendly and efficient and our orders came out from the kitchen fast. I came with my coworkers, most of whom got tacos. One person got a quesadilla. My coworkers said both the tacos and the quesadilla were good. read more

WOW! I just wanted to say that we love this place. My wife and I meet up with my brother pretty regularly at this spot and love it. The food is great - my wife gets the "Al Alambre" (Steak and Shrimp Skewers) every time we go and it is seasoned and cooked to perfection. I also highly recommend the "Blackened Mahi" and if you are into fajitas, their chicken fajitas are the most flavorful in the area in my opinion. The overall vibe of the restaurant is fun. Sometimes dance music is played, sometimes radio bops from the past. Sometimes it might not particularly be the sounds my wife and I are into but even then it seems that everyone in the restaurant is enjoying themselves and having a great time. The restaurant was decorated festively for the holidays and the mood matched the holiday spirit. Additionally, I'd like to shout out the community that surrounds the place - if you haven't, go to Jonquil on any night and you will see locals walking about having a blast. However, the food and the ambiance is not why I have chosen to give The Corner Taquiera a 5 Star review. The reason would have to be the service from waitress Kiera B. We are met with the same level of bubbly energy from her every single time we go here. She is knowledgeable of the food, friendly, and attentive to the tables. Whatever area she is responsible for during the night, the tables are laughing, eating great food usually recommended by Kiera, and having a great time, which, in my opinion, is the point of going out to eat. To me, that experience is made possible with amazing waitresses like her. If she hasn't already received a raise, she should, as it just makes sense to retain people as charming and hard working as she is. She's definitely one of the reasons we keep coming back again and again. read more

Well well well ... i cant believe i left this place 4 stars a year ago ... What the hell happened, guys? They served me COLD rice and beans TWICE. When I complained to the manager, he says "we keep it at 175 degrees... thats our standard." And dismisses me with the "so you didn't like the burrito bowl and you dont like the steak fajitas ... i'll take care of this" and he walked away. Ok, cute that youre not charging, but damn, my rice and beans are still cold, bruh?! What am i to do with this?? Reason why I sent the burrito bowl back is because the whole thing was cold. And yall serve me the same crap the second time around? Now, yall know its very rare that i send food back - but in this case, who likes to eat cold black beans and rice? ... not even warm... it was COLD. I stuck my finger in both items as I explained this to the manager as it seems like he couldnt understand as to why Im not approving of the food they served. The tortilla wrap was piping hot, but ya know, i dont eat the wrap because i usually just eat the rice and beans - LMAO!! THAT GATDAMN RICE AND BEANS!!! lololol. Other than that, i will give the steak fajita a 2 star at the most. Salt was the main ingredient, and pretty much the only thing I could taste My sis was with me, and it was the first birthday we had together in 13 years (she was living out of the country) and it's quite disheartening that I took her here when she asked to be taken to a mexican restaurant. I should've taken her somewehre else - but this was the closest to us at the time ... Now, my sis had a mango margarita and she gave it two thumbs up. So 5 stars to that. Server was sweet, my sister's drink was good, and the manager did take the meal off the tab, so all in all, 2 stars. But I dont think I will come back. (I mean, i still didnt get my rice and beans lmaoooo) read more

Stopped by TCT for dinner with my other half on a busy Saturday night. We had been to the other restaurants in the market but didn't love them so were looking forward to trying The Corner Taqueria! Upon arrival, we were seated quickly and our server was prompt, quick, and personable. We ordered a strawberry margarita pitcher and the guac/queso combo as an app. There was a misunderstanding with our margarita but it was corrected immediately and our server was super apologetic. Our appetizer was great and we devoured it. Once our correct margarita pitcher did arrive, we were happy with the result and it was tasty as all get out! Be careful though because although it's yummy, the alcohol is still in there and creeps up on you lol! We both ordered tacos for dinner. I ordered the steak taco and the shrimp taco. Both were surprisingly really good and packed with flavor! Overall great experience. Looking forward to frequenting this neighborhood spot! read more

My buddies and I come in here a couple times for lunch. This time we came in later for dinner. We sat at the bar, because that's where we usually see Shishi behind the bar! We were greeted by Francisco he was friendly, but his service seriously lacked to us. We have been coming here regularly, so we know a few of the bartenders. We never met this guy. I asked 3 times for a refill on my diet coke never got it. My buddy had to ask somebody else for a chip refill. We also got the wrong order of tacos when I only orderd 1 pulled pork. Then we never got our appetizer to come out first before our meal. Could have been a kitchen issue. He was on his phone controlling the music, so we really couldn't enjoy using the touch tunes app. He did although offer us suggestions to play any music because he was being the dj. Francisco seemed to be out of focus since he was chatting it up with other patrons at the bar. Shishi always took good care of us and anyone at the bar. I don't know if this is a normal thing but we are not fans of him or his means of servic. read more

This place exceeded my expectations. We were starving so we started eating before I could take some review-worthy pictures. I had the lettuce tacos and hubby had the chicken quesadillas. This food tasted authentic. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and wonderful server. I ended up eating a little of my husband's quesadilla and it was DIVINE! I don't know what kind of cheese they used but it was a game changer along with the fresh from the grill chicken. Literally the best chicken quesadilla I've had in my life! Adding this place into our weekly rotation. read more
