Taco Cantina Reviews

Tacos are ok, kinda small but low price. Not a ton of flavor, even after extensive use of the salsa bar, but the bar had a number of optioons at least.

Delicious food and really nice people! Cute little place. I had a steak quesadilla and my dad had the Cuban sandwich and we both loved our food.

Best burrito I've ever had. Tortilla tasted really fresh.

The best Cuban I've ever had. Excellent tacos excellent price excellent staff just an all-around great Taqueria

Surprisingly good food. Their quesadilla is on point... not all cheese. Good portion of meat.

Best torta cubana in atlanta
Ask for the side salad if you don't want chips

Wow, great tacos and torta. Interesting beer selection and friendly service. Give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed.

Tacos taste great and the family vibe here warms my heart

Service and prices are great and food is pretty decent. Overall great quick bite place

Great as to be expected!! I've been craving Brisket tacos and no one seems to have any. They got me right

A nice little place, but very limited on vegetarian options. Good prices as well!

I love this place small and to the point, food is great!!

Probably the best Mexican in Smyrna. A small business that serves great Mexican food with a unique menu.

Tortas are the best but they also have great burritos, tacos, and quesadillas.

Great value, delicious tacos and the barbacoa nachos were fantastic!

Friendly staff. Price is reasonable. The food is subpar in comparison to other local authentic tacos. Beans and rice were bland and the carne asada was tough. IMHO I think Tacos La Villa is way better.

Amazing food, nice beer selection, and friendly staff. Best Cuban sandwich in Atlanta!

If you want a really tastes taco this is the place clean and fresh good food.

Has the spicy shrimp and Asian beef tacos...they were delicious but pricy for what i got

The service was great and quick. Ordered the Torta am pastor and chorizo with beans as well as the chipotle steak nachos. The nachos were a large portion,the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The steak could have had a little more flavor--it included gauc, corn, beans, lettuce, and queso. I added onions,cilantro and salsa. The salsa bar featured 6 different types, unfortunately they were all lacking in spice and flavor. The rest featured limes, onions, and cabbage.
The torta was delicious and had a nice sweet pineapple flavor. The best thing we had were the chorizo and beans. The flavor was better than any I have ever had, overall 4 stars, but the food was just okay.

Ordered the Torta Cubana. The torta was very good: juicy slow cooked pork, savory melted cheese and a slight tang from the pickle and mustard. Only deducting one star because the chips were bland and slightly stale.

Really sweet staff, family owned, great food and good pricing

This is a really good taco shop. I had the grilled fish taco and the calamari taco. Both were really good and cheap.

The tortas are on point, little pricey for the size of the portions. Otherwise is good.

Good place, I've visited it several times. The food is good, the attention sometimes is good other times not so much. The menu is not very varied but definitely worth eating here

Awesome food for a great price. Everything came out really quickly, it tasted awesome, and the staff is super polite. Can t wait to go back

Solid lunch option. The three taco lunch for $7 is great. Love this restaurant.

Delicious. Tacos are a little on the pricey side but I will be back

Best beef nachos in Smyrna. The salsa bar is good as well.

Fish tacos are not good if you've had fish tacos anywhere else you'll see they are basically flavorless... charged me 75 cents extra for sour cream but did not put sour cream on them had to call for refund. I don't get the white rice and beans with everything combinations seem odd dont really go together finally had something that tasted good and had real flavor the chopped salad but hold the guacamole and black beans please. Alot of things I haven't tried and I really wanted to like this place since I first saw it on atlanta eats but i will not be back. Not impressed guess u get what you pay for. Cheesecake factory and bonefish much better fish tacos.

My preferred place for quality Mexican food. don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait.

This place never disappoints! My food is always fresh and always good. The staff is friendly and personable .

Try anything, it will be awesome :) I came back 3 times in one week after my first visit and I have been back at least once a week since. It is always great!

Awesome tacos and best salsa bar I've experienced for such a low key, hole in the wall place! I got there at least once a week to get my Mexican food fix.

the tacos are very rich a little expensive but rich

I'm so in love with this place. The best place to get Tacos hands down. I'm customer for life. Why go any where else for Tacos when you can go here.

This place is amazing. Their al pastor torta is to die for and the fresh salsa bar is legit.

Absolutely fantastic food here. The place was clean and comfortable. The food was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The decor in the restaurant really makes it stand out.

Best Cuban sandwich in Atlanta. I have sampled everything on the menu but keep coming back for the Cuban.

Torra and taco was amazing! Salsa and chips good too

The Milanese torta was very good, I had a picture but can't find it!

Nice people, great location, and tasty cantina style Mexican food. Please don't change a thing!

Great place to grab and go or sit down and eat. The nachos are huge and so so delicious enough for probably 2 people.

I go to this place for lunch in a good bit because it's near work. These are the best tacos around. The owner makes this pickled jalapeno sauce up that is amazing but not too spicy. Everyone there is very friendly price is pretty good I would definitely recommend this place

I have lived in different big foodie states and I could say, they got the best carnita tacos, so far! You have to try it, to believe it.

I love tacos so when I heard about a new restaurant close to the beltline with great reviews, I had to make it a priority to stop in for a bite. The restaurant entrance is on Boulevard in the same building as Condesa Coffee close to Freedom parkway and John Wesley Dobbs. Perfect location to grab a bite if you're walking the eastside beltline or freedom pkwy trail.

When I entered the restaurant the bar was full and there were groups art two tables. The hostess came over and greeted me and asked if we preferred high or low tables....I love options. The menu is double sided and everything sounded pretty good. There's a large selection of tacos and tortas to choose from and other tasty items to choose from. All of the tacos on the menu were a la carte and surprisingly did not include chips or salsa. The best part of a Mexican restaurant is the free chips and salsa.... but you have to pay for them here.

We started with an order of guacamole and I'm so glad we did. This guac was so fresh and perfectly seasoned, it's one of the best guacs that I've had at a restaurant... nicely done! There's a salsa bar with a variety of salsas at different spice levels so i filled a few containers to eat with the chips that came with the guacamole. Each salsa i tried tasted very fresh with lots of flavor.

For the main course, I ordered a fried shrimp and a salmon taco. You can choose between flour or corn tortillas, I went with flower. The shrimp taco was Amazing and after the first bite I thought, why didn't I order two. The salmon taco was so-so, it didn't have enough flavor for me.

I would come back and try additional items on the menu and order the fried shrimp taco again. The service was good, convenient location, nicely decorated, casual environment and there new so I have to give them another try.

I only wish they had free chips especially with the price of the tacos.

Great price for great portions. Had the Cantina special. Very fast and friendly service and great selection of beer and beverages.

A clean place .. comfortable and they are super friendly .... I recommend it

Fresh, good value, quick service, pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

Authentic Mexican, great chorizo torta and tacos, varied salsa bar.

Their salmon tacos are unbelievably delicious!!! Nice spot to have in the area!

I don't think I can give justice to Taco Cantina in a simple review. I absolutely LOVE this place! The food is amazing, the tacos are fantastic but the Cuban torta if out of this world! I'm from Miami, and know a good Cuban sandwich when I find one, and the Cuban torta from Taco Cantina is better than many I've had in Miami. One of my other favorite things about Taco Cantina is their topping/salsa bar... It isn't like what you see at the "chain Mexican" places where you get a giant cup of salsa with no taste, but rather just the right amount for your tacos or torta, and the variety and quality is so good! My favorite are their two spicy salsas, they are xxxxhot and oh so good! I have thought about asking to buy the salsa to take home, but didn't want to be that person. If they were closer to work or home, I would probably eat here 4+ times a week, but instead I pop in when I am on this side of town shopping and am never disappointed. If you haven't been here, you need to try it... You won't be disappointed! Oh and they always have a pretty wide variety of beer selection, so you can likey find what you're craving to pair with your food.

Great food. The owner is really nice. The salmon, tamales, barbacoa and salad are some of the really good menu options

Really great food! It has that hole in the wall type of feel but it's not one. The tacos are the tortas are !! And very adorable. No free water or refills everything is out of a bottle or can. But water is only 25 cents.

A hidden gem where you can taste some of the best Mexican food in metro Atlanta. It's a small, no frills restaurant, so pull up a chair or order to go. It's worth the trip! But beware the hot, HOT sauce with the warning label in the self serve toppings bin. They're not kidding!

The salsa bar might be favorite! The tacos are amazing too!!

The tacos were authentic. They tasted really good. The food isn't over priced. They also have beer. The queso was great. I ordered two carne asada tacos and one pollo taco. Esta rico y deliciouso!

Great place for lunch. It's small on the inside but has a nice outside area that great when the weather permits.

This is a tough review. I waffled between 3 and 4 stars, based solely on the tacos. The place is nice, drinks (beer and wine) are insanely cheap, which definitely helped their score. The tacos were good. Not great but not bad. The tortillas were bought, not homemade. The meats tasted well cooked and spiced. Not sure if I can put my finger on what's missing, but I've had better tacos at places on Buford Highway or Cheshire Bridge. Bottom line, it's a solid place with decent tacos and super cheap drinks.

Great authentic Mexican food..
Small but quick and friendly service.
