Hidden off the beaten path behind the gas station you'll find this awesome spot that's full of delicious Mexican food that has something for everyone! So as soon as we walked in there was this super cute older lady greeting us from back in the kitchen she came up and then took our order and was as friendly as anyone could be! Of the many options to drink I got my go to a horchata and let me say it was that awesome mix of sugar cinnamon that one could ask for! The tacos here were the real star as their tortillas were totally handmade and fresh making for a whole vibe with each bite the asada one was yummy and just what you'd expect in a yummy asada taco but the real star was the Pastor as it was super flavorful and totally hit the spot as it was just that much more yummier with a bit of their yummy salsa from that awesome bar that's full of delicious choices! Of their salsa I liked the green and the red as both had just a good mix of hot and flavor at the same time! My friend ordered flautas and she said she very much so enjoyed them! Overall this was a yummy spot to grab some tacos and delicious Mexican specialties so do yourself a favor and definitely check them out you'll be stoked you did!

Awesome food and super friendly staff. Authentic Mexican and it's so delicious! They even have home made salsas and condiments that are so good. Their pico de gallo and avocado salsa and salsa verde are my faves. The sopes are awesome! Tortillas are made in house, everything is super fresh. I've had the tacos, sopes, papusas, quesadillas, fajitas and more. All great!

Awesome store and great food! I ordered for takeout. I especially like their carne asada gorditas: the wrap is fried and they have a good ratio between onions and meat. The tacos are also great, but the chicken meat is a bit chewy. Overall, I am pleased with my experience. Would definitely come back again.

Is it possible to give a place more than 5 stars?! No, that's a shame. Hidden gem near Fulton Industrial that is delivering really good Mexican food. Located beside a gas station, you are warmly greeted by the owner/family. Spanish soap operas have always seemed to be playing on the television, which I love. There is a small make shift market with a few select fresh vegetables and other goodies. I'll start by saying I traditionally stay away from Mexican Restaurants. The gimmicky food of tacos on flour tortillas with sour cream and all other kind of crap loaded on it, I hate it. But this is not that, this my friend is better! Corn tortillas, meat, onions, and cilantro w/ a lime on the side. That's it. Nothing more is needed. They have a few different salsas of varying heat levels that were all delicious. Since eating here for the first time I have become a regular. Everything I have had is good. Burritos, the tacos, the Gorditas, the papusa's, hell the wings lol. This isn't a mexican restaurant, it's a Taqueria. Know the difference but this place is amazing enough to try. Do yourself a favor and do just that.

After our favorite cheap Mexican spot decided not to prepare barbacoa today, we quickly went on Yelp to find a replacement. Hubby found Taqueria Margarita close to our home and we were quite pleased! The restaurant is adjacent to a gas station but don't let that deter you. A friendly little old lady prepared our meal as if she was in her home kitchen and it tasted as such. We ordered two barbacoa burritos and a selection of tacos (see photo), along with rice and beans. When hubby found out that tamales were the weekend special, he grabbed two chicken since she was out of pork - those were tasty as well. The prices were also legit with a hefty burrito under $5. The restaurant also offers gorditas and other Mexican specialties that are sometime hard to find in Atlanta. We are always happy to find good local Mexican spots so we will definitely be back!

Looking for authentic Mexican food? Well here is where to find it. Simple menu with delicious flavors. Taquiera Margarita is hidden next to a chevron gas station behind Thornton road. It's a great lunch spot with low priced tacos, sopes, gorditas, tortas, and so much more. My coworker always gets the chicken taco's and tops it off with their EXTREMELY spicy orange hot sauce. I always get the chorizo sope's and they haven't disappointed me yet. The staff is friendly, and they have indoor seating, but don't come during the 11-1pm lunch rush and expect to find a seat. it is usually packed with local workers trying to take a break from working outside. There's parking in front of the restaurant, but since it's attached to a gas station, you can find parking anyway.
