The Corner Taqueria

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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 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

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.

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. ThanksI 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.

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!

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.
