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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

Chips & Salsa, 10.11.2020.
Kathryn L.

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.

Chicken Nachos!!!

We tried this Zamá location for the first time, and the food was just as great as always. We…read moreusually go to the Kennesaw location, and this one definitely lived up to it. The chips were fresh, the queso was really good, and everything we ordered came out hot and flavorful. The margarita selection is also a big highlight--lots of great options. The only downside is the service, which unfortunately has been pretty consistent across both locations. We're always seated and greeted right away, but once the food comes out, it's hard to get any follow-up. Servers don't really check back in, and after the check is dropped off, they typically don't return. That said, the food and drinks keep us coming back. If the service matched the quality of the food, this place would be top-tier, especially with the overall energy.

96 Current Health Score - Wonderful start!!…read more The parking right out front might be scarce to negligible, but in the whole of the plaza that Zama is located in you should be able to find something, just have your walking shoes ready and your attitude properly adjusted. Zama was sparsely lit and offered more of a mellow, smooth, romantic vibe, which was throwing my coworker's and I off a bit initially, but to be clear, you can definitely still see well. The food was good, but not outstanding and flavor and season-wise left room for improvement, but with portion size, I was satiated and happy overall. No one at the table had any complaints about our service, so with all of that being said, I would definitely make a return visit, but maybe more-so for a date situation.

I was coming to pick up an online order for my coworkers and myself and there were about 14 orders…read morein total. An estimated "ready time" was given when the order was initially placed, but when I got to the restaurant and asked about the order, it seemed that the order was just being put in on my arrival. Once I got there (Unbeknownst to the person at the register, I actually understand and speak a little bit of Spanish) I peeped the conversation between he and someone from the kitchen and that was my understanding. Now granted, it was a large order and in this day and age, you don't want to be making a bunch of food that never gets picked up I guess, so I have some understanding, but if there was a genuine concern there, since the food was already paid for, they maybe could've called back prior to my arrival, for confirmation. Ultimately, the food was good, no complaints from my coworkers and other than a bunch of wasted time (I ended up waiting around for a good 40 minutes) - Success and satisfaction, but still shaking my head!!

Since I work in the area, I usually come here for lunch. This particular day was a Saturday. I…read moreordered the lunch chimichanga. When it came out, i was pretty shocked of the portion size. It looked like a kids meal. The chimichangas usually are a decent size, whether it's lunch or dinner. I didn't make a fuss, was just surprised. The staff is friendly, so im sure I'll be back. I went the day before and ordered a margaritas with the lamb lambrusco red wine inside. It was delicious.
