Went to this authentic(?) mexican establishment one weekend night while the laundry was in the wash at the laundry mat. The prices of this place are very good and competitive with taco bell. However the food here was much better than Taco Bell. I ordered a beef burrito especial. unlike most places, this burrito was 85% meat and not much other filler. Every weekend I have to wash clothes, I'll be stopping here to get food. My only complaint, however I'm not sure if it's a thing with all mexican places or what, but both places I went to( this being one of them), the service was really slow. read more

The chilaquiles plate / menu item here is fantastic; definitely the thing to order. It is a huge plate of food! Perhaps these chilaquiles are the best I have ever had. You choose your style of eggs, color of sauce (red or green), and chicken or beef. Service can be a bit slow and inconsistent; however, the waitresses are nice. I also really like the horchata and the guacamole side. read more

AMAZING!!!! I can't stop going back!!! Great food and Taco Bell price !!!! I've been to MEGA TACO over 10 times and it keeps getting better. First chips and salsa, then whatever you ordered ( dine in or delivery) and you will be very satisfied when you're done!!! read more

Excellent Mexican food! Portions are very generous and the prices super reasonable. Staff is all very friendly, prompt and professional. We had the chicken and steak fajitas - absolutely the best. Don't be intimidated, if you are like us, you will be the only gringo / gringa in the place - no problem, the waitresses speak English just fine, and the menu is in both English and Spanish. The restaurant itself could be just a touch cleaner - especially the bathrooms. Its only this factor that prevents me from giving Mega Taco 5 stars. read more

food is great! Price is very good considering all the restaurants around. I always get the steak gorditas, but have had the tacos and they are good as well!! Great place for a quick bite!! read more

4.5 Stars. Looking for something other than fast food, my wife and I stopped on our way from Atlanta to Greenville, and I'm glad we did. I had Carnitas, and they were very good. The pork was tender and flavorful, with beans, rice, tortillas and tomatilla sauce on the side. The portion was large, too. My wife had spicy shrimp, with rice and a gaucamole salad on the side. The shrimp were decent size, and I think she had about 15 shrimp. I tried a couple (or three or four), and they were tasty and cooked just right. The restaurant is in a strip shopping center, but worth seeking out. Very good food, and a good value. read more

I got a tip from a Mexican friend who swears by Mega Taco's house-and-hand-made tortillas. This place is located on Beaver Ruin road which is peppered with Mexican establishments. It sits in a sleazy-looking plaza right next to Little Giant Farmer's Market. I love farmers' markets so I went in to check it out and was so cheated to find out that it was nothing but a gigantic grocery store. Really, they probably have the inventory of 4 Krogers in there with aisles twice as long and twice as much. But I digress. I was told about this item on their menu called Molcajete which I so wanted to order but it was huge -- one order is good for two persons (priced at a measly $13.99). An assortment of meats are served in a big molcajete (a footed stone mortar) and the picture looks very appetizing. But I was alone for a quick lunch so I settled for some cheesy cheese dip and tacos instead. The cheese dip was cheesy and had the perfect consistency but I would have loved it to be spicier. For some reason, the jalapeño bits in it were tasteless. No heat whatsoever. The chips were big pieces, warm, and very crunchy. I was amazed at how every chip was unbroken -- every single one of them including the very last one in the bottom of the basket. Neat. The salsa isn't your usual tomato-onion salsa. Instead, theirs is made with smoky ancho peppers pureéd with what I sense is adobo sauce, tomatoes, and garlic. It was very, very good. And spicy. Everything on the menu looks like huge portions and although I'm quite a big eater, I was running errands and just didn't have time so I opted for three tacos instead: tripe, steak, and chicken. I must say, the corn tortillas were fantastic. They were really fresh, had great corn taste, and were substantially sized. Each taco comes with 2 grilled corn tortillas topped with heaping portions of meat. The tripe were stir-fried and very flavorful. I just didn't like that some were chewy and some were more tender than the others. I'm wary when it comes to un-fried tripe but these didn't have that funky smell in them. They were very good. The steak were moist and tender; as was the chicken. Both the steak and chicken were cooked in aromatic spices that were very tasty. These big tacos were only $1.50 each which can't be beat. This place really warrants a second visit so I can try other things on the menu (including and especially the molcajete). So far a great place for big, flavorful, and very inexpensive tacos. read more

Got back over here, used a valpack coupon that wife found online. We were not super adventurous and got fajitas and chilaquiles. The fajitas were solid, although it was very annoying that the sizzling platter was dropped off, and then it was literally another 5 minutes until we got tortillas and toppings. The chilaquiles took an additional 10 minutes. It's tortilla chips, red sauce, and a topping of your choosing (eggs, chicken, beef, etc.) in a big comfort-food type pile. It was good, but nothing spectacular, not as good as Oaxacena's. We inquired about a seafood soup that someone else had, but our waitress had no interest in helping us determine what it was. We soon saw another page on the menu and saw that it has the exotic name, 'shrimp cocktail'. Had she told us about it, we likely would have gotten it, but she did not seem very interested. Next time we plan on getting the cocktail and/or the mocalucheta(?), big steaming seafood bowl. These both look excellent and frequently ordered. The place was hopping, doing great business. When you go, be sure to turn left into the strip shopping center entrance directly on Indian Trail. It's a pain getting back to MT after you go up to Beaver Ruin and turn left due to medians in the road forcing you to overshoot by half a mile. read more

Authentic affordable and great overall establishment. Great tacos and burritos! There salsa is very aute

Best chicken soup and margarita on the rocks I have ever had! The staff was warm, the environment very authentic. I will definitely come back here. read more

They need to update their Menu on here. I called and ordered for pick up. According to the prices on the pictures of the menu I was supposed to pay $28 plus tax and somehow got charged $40 when I arrived. read more

The food is good. The cheese they use in their quesidillas is divine! The service is lukewarm at best.

Mega Taco is the real deal. Everything is fresh and made in house. The corn tortillas are made in house each day and they are fried to order for the chips, always hot when they hit the table. The salsas are also made fresh daily. Salsa Roja , Salsa Verde and Salsa Fresca are all expertly made and the fresh quality is apparent. So delicious. This is my favorite taco destination in Atlanta. A destination worth the drive. read more

Mega taco has been the best experience ever! The food is delicious, the best Mexican Food, Music, T.V. Shows, drinks, and more! You can call and get your order once you get here! Best customer service ever! read more

Love this hidden authentic local joint! Best Mexican food ever!! Thank you for another excellent dinner!

Every single plate taste good in MegaTaco! This is one of my favorites Mexican's place. read more

Mega Taco - Mexican Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

On a whim we ordered the guacamole starter. It's a small dish but it was piled high. There was enough for some snacking with the amazing and fresh tortilla chips, and enough to top six tacos for a very reasonable price. I tried the asada, carnitas and pollo tacos. The asada is good, as was the carnitas. The carnitas looked a little dry but it was surprisingly moist enough in the mouth. But the chicken. Oh my goodness the chicken taco was devine. The meat was moist and so flavorful. Definitely the best of the bunch. I should mention we saw a lady in the back making the corn tortillas so we knew they were fresh. Side notes, the water came with lime in it so if you don't want it let them know ahead of time. The salsa that came with the chips was refreshing and very good. For the tacos they also gave us side dishes of hot sauce that were yummy but somewhat tame to my palate. Our server was so sweet and congenial, she made us feel right at home. read more

My go to for Mexican food. Pozola(butchered spelling) soup . Their $4.99 torta will fill you up and then some. Eggs, ham, avocado, lettuce, breaded steak in a huge sandwich roll. Tacos are yum yum, pretty much everything so far and very attentive servers and f ood arrived quick. read more

If you love tacos, like I love tacos, you'll love this place. The steak tacos are some of the best I've had, and the salsa is outstanding. Don't go for the decor...go for the killer tacos. read more

very authentic mexican food . Love it and yelp has not failed me. Steak taco is the bomb and it is only 1.50 each. Will come back for sure read more

See all

The food here is fantastic! Very authentic, and inexpensive. I would recommend the tacos and the chicken soup. I come here frequently because I work down the street, and have always had a good experience. The staff is also friendly and service is generally quick read more

Mega Taco is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Norcross area they cater to our local Latino neighborhood and the restaurant is completely full every time I go in. There is still plenty of room to sit though. The servers are very conscientious and handle my poor Spanish with a sense of humor. I enjoyed mostly the traditional carne asada mini tacos for only a dollar each :-) often I order a dozen with my dinner so that I will have some for the next day at home they are delicious and remind me of Mexico. They also have some great shrimp dishes as specialties and it is just a Hidden Gem of a restaurant in our neighborhood. read more

Everything we ordered was super tasty! Boyfriend and I both got chicken soup. I got a large, not realizing that the portions were pretty big. The large soup could have been for two people, so I definitely had to ask for a to-go soup container. Probably should have gotten the small because it was still big (boyfriend ordered the small)! I got a carnitas taco and it was delicious...not too big and not too small. Boyfriend got chicken and beef tacos, which he also really enjoyed. We both also got margaritas, which it seemed like were only served by the glass (instead of pitcher option), so it cost about $6.50 per glass, but they were both strong and flavorful, so it was worth it. Service was fast and polite. Definitely coming back with friends. read more

Very very good chili releno. I loved the salsa Verde! I even got a to go order for later.

"creative loafing, creative loafing, creative loafing" that's all you hear about when you hear about mega taco. i don't know who they got working at the creative loafing food department, but i think they need to experience more of the atlanta food scene if they think the mega torta is one of the top 100 things to eat before you die. unless they were running out of things by about the #90 mark and decided to just throw it in there cause they couldn't think of anything else. whoa! what's with all the hostility? a large number of my friends and i came here to experience the famous torta. like most people have said: avocados, lettuce, fried egg, country fried steak, ham, cheese on some tortas bread. all the ingredients for a good sandwich. sandwich, yes. torta, no. honestly, there just wasn't anything torta about this sandwich. i'd say the bread was what is usually used on a traditional torta, but that's pretty much the only connection this sandwich had to an authentic mexican torta. and besides that, the country fried steak was pretty dry and about a 3:1 ratio of breading to steak and the steak was pounded so thin you couldn't even taste it. i agree with tom c. it definitely needs some moisture with some kind of sauce. i'm a sandwich guy and i think the ingredients for a great sandwich are great meat, good veggies, fantastic bread, and a tasty sauce to help moisten everything. i've had excellent authentic tortas in mexico and i've had pretty good ones in atlanta, but this one was not as good as those. i'd probably come back to check out the other stuff on their menu but it's ok if you've tried the other 99 things on cl's list and don't make it to the torta before you die. you're not missing out. there were a lot of hispanic people eating there which i always take as a good sign, and the service was great especially for our large group. read more

Great Mexican food! The place is not the best but the food is probably the best Mexican food I've tried in Atlanta. (and I'm from Mexico).

Have been to Mega Taco many times. It is our favorite local Mexican place. We've tried all sorts of things, from the gorditas to pambaza, to molcajete, you name it. It's all been good and the waitresses have been nice. The chicken soup is quite good too, as are the enchiladas de mole. Today, however, we ordered take-out and asked for enchiladas de mole and chile rellenos. The enchiladas were fine, but the rellenos were unlike any I've ever seen -- and I've ordered them from here before. It looked like they roasted the poblano, slit it open, inserted a couple of pieces of cheese, then covered it up with a fried egg. They might have put it in the microwave for a minute, but not enough to melt the cheese, or get anything very hot. They didn't seed it or remove the membrane. They didn't batter and fry it either. For their other work, over many years, I will give them four stars, but the chile relleno was a bizarre disaster. Won't be ordering that again at Mega Taco. read more

Update: pastor IS available. I had a burrito full of it. The meat was grilled, charred and served hot. There was no salsa or cheese, but the avocado performed the same function of breaking up the texture. It was huge and served with really excellent flavored rice. I almost feel guilty eating here, having such good food for so little money, but I avoided the guilt by leaving a generous tip. read more

This restaurant gets a 5 star from me just based on portions and value for money. Less than 5 dollars for 3 tacos loaded with tasty steak and chicken, that is good enough for 5 star from me. Close to my office, so visit this place pretty often. Never had a single mouth full of food, which I did not like at this place. Hostess are great, service is pretty prompt. You know a restaurant is doing great when you see loads of local people and regulars are there. This place is full of regulars during lunch hours. Variety is great, from american style or authentic, you have loads to choose from. read more

Fun! The margaritas were ok. Cheap tecate. The mega torte was insane...the size of my head at least with several different meats and a fried egg! I had fajitas and they were really good. The best part was the extra sauces that the waitress brought out to us. The green one (perhaps tomatillo) was so good. We will definitely go back. read more

Awesome! HUGE portions, delicious vegetarian options, and great service. Had the red enchiladas and loved them.

Our favorite Mexican food place by far. We never go to chain Mexican places anymore! The service is great and they are genuinely glad to serve you. We always get the tacos (chorizo, chicken, steak, carnitas) on the corn tortillas. Don't miss the corn tortillas. They are made in house and are soft and fresh. They don't have to double them because they are quite substantial. Three $1.49 tacos and I'm stuffed! Quality food and a great price. read more

Service was unbelievable great everytime we needed something they were there to help the food was cooked to perfection and the waitresses were very pretty some good eye candy to look at like I said wonderful service read more

This place was SUPER awesome. A friend of mine told me he knew about this little hole in the wall authentic Mexican restaurant, and when he told me the name, I laughed. I mean, seriously? The only thing that sounds less authentic-Mexican in my head than "Mega Taco" is "Taco Bell". But I was happy to be wrong in this case. The place was so authentic I couldn't read most of the menu! (Cut me some slack, my Spanish is REALLY rusty.) But I found something good to order. The food came out quickly and tasted excellent, and the unlimited chips and salsa while I was waiting were delicious too. I'd definitely go back again - if I weren't moving to the Bay Area soon! read more

Grt place, the food is delicious. I call this my best kept secret. Janette is one of the waitresses that served me, grt service, I'll definitely put this down as a yelper!!!! Thx Janette!! read more

Took my Daughter for the Carnitas because when I visited before they were good.. But today 10/22/13 for some reason the carnitas were very dry, a lot of burnt pieces and in chunks. Was very disappointed with the meal and I felt bad taking my Daughter here. Won't go back because of the distant.. Would of rated lower but the beans, rice and tortilla were okay. read more

I went to Mega Taco based on the reviews. I had the fish and chicken tacos and they were good, but not great. But based on the price you cannot beat it. The salsa was on point. read more

My friend loves this place and got me to go today. This is hands down the best food I've had in a long time. If you are in the area and want good Mexican food, I suggest you try it! read more

This is the best tacos I have eaten in a long time. Not a fancy restaurant, but the food is great. I will be back

Wasn't sure about going in since there was only 1 other table seated when we arrived. We were quickly greeted and picked a table. The waitress was adorable and was always there if we needed anything. The chips were ok, taco's were good and the enchilada's were really tasty. I am sure we will go back again some day when in the area. read more
