Let me start by saying I truly love the ambiance of this restaurant. The rooftop area is perfect on a nice day with a covered or non covered option for seating. I've been to this location a few times and 3 out of the 4 times was excellent. Love that they have a playground for the kids to play at, however, they require food to be a to go order. That said, DO NOT order the bulgolgi tacos at the outside bar. I thought I'd just get it in a to go box and could eat at their outside area but it was literally a bag of nachos with all the components in seperate containers. Ended up taking it home (it doesn't reheat well) Lastly, while the drinks at the bar were very well made and strong, the bartender was very inattentive and it took me several frustrating attempts to get his attention. This and the deconstructed to go nachos took a start away. read more

The girlfriends united and wanted a night out! Let me tell you how it went. The place is huge, with an outdoor kid play area while adults get to relax and drink their drinks around the fireplace, it is a really pretty place to come out for the summer. Right next to it is a brewery/bar and it can tend to get super busy when that place is popping too. Inside of the restaurant is full of beautiful colors and great decor. We took an elevator to go upstairs in the patio area. There was TVs everywhere in sufficient air-conditioning in order for you to sit outside. The service was great. Our server definitely took care of us really well. The food was mid, it wasn't overpriced, I feel like it was priced average with all the other restaurants that I've been to. The flavor is a little on the bland side for my taste. The queso was a little watery. The Paloma was fabulous! You can definitely taste that they make the drinks with good ingredients. Overall, it's not gonna be my favorite place for flavor but for vibes only. read more

My son found this place for us to try coming from Winder hearing they had pretty good cocktails so we thought we would see what they had to offer. Clean place, nicely decorated, started with some specialty margaritas, but freeze dried limes and grapefruit. That were really tasty! I'm a bit lacking on pictures, but they have a drink menu as well as food menu that I failed to catch it but many drinks to select from, excellent selection of liquors We both got tacos starting with Korean beef, which was outstanding, I had a fish taco that was also very tasty, then a Barbacoa that is always a favorite. These were oddly filling as they didn't look large, but glad we only ordered two tacos each because they were super filling and very good. Paired with the margaritas this is the perfect midday early dinner that lasted me through the night. Great service, clean, food quality was very good. Highly recommend.!!! read more

Had a great experience! The hostess Leila was super sweet and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable right when we walked in. Definitely coming back! read more

Came at 630 Sunday , numerous open tables but no seating. Grouchy hostess not helping matters. Service is sketchy and I don't think they care. This place ain't good enough for more than a 30 minute wait and I'm at 20 now and counting down. So many Mexican places in this town and life is too short . read more

We had a spectacular evening and Juanito who was new served us. He did an amazing job. Friendly, made suggestions, checked back on us many times and ensured our orders were accurate and handled us with such joy. The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect.

Here's the deal, I HATE these high prices in life these days. We opted to get takeout today so we don't over pay for drinks & tips. It just is our life these days. So, we got takeout. I've never been to this location- Always been to Suwanee, which is great! Buford, OMG- another level of wow!!! This location has an elevator. The greeters were just OK, not overly smiling but did their job well. My order wasn't ready yet, so I snapped some pics as I waited.... Check 'em out. Got food home & I gotta say, the sides are a JOKE! For the price... absolutely stupid prices for what you get. Just like the Suwanee location. $2.00 for WARM, very SMALL amount of side lettuce. I could have stopped at Publix & paid $2 for a head... sure will next time. The sides of extra Angry Mama souce were $1.00 EACH... JUST FREAKING STOP IT. Won't order that again!!! $.50 is the amount worth we got, each!! STUPID!!! Calamari was over cooked, but great flavor. My Veggie Bowl was outstanding, as always, but I added my own extra tomatos & the extra lettuce. Their salsa is very cilantro forward- we love it! Hubby liked his Quesaburilla Tacos. Very good! So, my point... GO, enjoy. DO NOT GET ANY EXTRA SIDES OR SAUCES- 150% NOT WORTH THE EXTRA $$$$. BUEN PROVECHO! read more

Atmosphere is great! This location is super cute inside. I got the bulgogi bowl which was delicious. However if you get seated by the bar good luck hearing the people you are with because once they get the blender going you can't hear anything. read more

Service and Ambiance is definitely 10 out of 10! We were not as happy with the food, my bowl was beautifully presented but had no flavor, I literally had to as for more sauce! The brownie was probably delicious, I looked down at my phone and back up and my son had finished it. -lol read more

I chose this location because there is an outdoor play space for kids right next to the walk up bar. So for all you parents with little kids, this is a great place to meet friends and catch up while your kids are playing nearby. However, while the food was decent, the portion sizes were Lackluster, and the prices were a bit more than I would like. I ordered a Paloma (it was delicious). Tacos were $15 for three small tacos. They were satisfactory, but I probably wouldn't order them again. The highlight of my meal was my Tres leches. It was delicious although tiny. read more

This place is a solid place for a cute date night or summer lunch with friends. The top patio type seating is just what makes this a perfect social spot. Service is very sweet! I had the chicken burrito with rice, the rice was a bit uncooked fully and bland it didn't stand out much to me. The chicken burrito was fresh and tasty. I wouldn't run back to this spot for the food per se but definitely for the ambiance! read more

I visited this location to meet a friend for dinner. Having been to other locations, I wasn't thoroughly impressed with this one. It's a lively area, and parking took a bit of time. There is a valet option, which was interesting to me. I opted to circle around a few times to find self-parking. Thankfully, that was a success. We ended up sitting at the bar. With 2-3 staff there and not that big of a crowd, the customer service could have been better. Everyone was nice, but there was definitely a continual need to ask to be helped. There didn't seem to be a sense of urgency. As usual, the food did not disappoint. This restaurant is definitely kid friendly. There's a play area outside, and I noticed some patrons allowed their kids to run in and out of the restaurant while the adults ate. New and different experience--I think I'll stick with the other locations. read more

First attempt to go here we stood behind someone ordering food at the hostess desk, which took around 5-10 minutes. We arrived around 9:15 and were told we could order around 9:30 when we finally got upstairs, we just had to order quick. Once we made it upstairs they told us the kitchen was closed. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars, I this was on a Monday. Second attempt we had an hour and half wait, we arrived out our name down and had a 50 minutes wait then at the table didn't have our order taken until 20 minutes had passed then my friends drink came out 10 minutes later. Then after that my drink and queso came. The areas really nice , outside they have a play area and chairs with fire pit. Upstairs they have a fire pit as well. The food was amazing , I got quesabirra. She got carne asada. They have really pretty presentation for some of the drink. Would definitely go back, wish they had reservations or a way to put your name on the wait list so we could've done it when we headed over there . Since we were on a time limit it kinda made us rush and take most of it home and not be able to finish our drinks that were 15+$ read more

This place will not last long with the bad management. Came on a Friday, we understood it was busy but food came out and we didn't even have utensils, we told the hostess but she said they were being folded and to wait she never brought them. She was not busy, when we asked someone else they got them asap. Then our kids were playing on the playing ground there were a bunch of RUDE older kids playing football, they hit 5+ little kids and the lights a couple times, no one came out and said anything. There's no management around. Bad experience. The Suwanee location has better management. read more

Please drive the extra distance away from the abysmal Suwanee location to be treated like a valued guest and not an inconvenience. The management really needs to work on getting the attitudes out of the Suwanee location At Buford staff are not mad if u ask for the drink special and the food isn't cold. They ask u if u want chips read more

This was the last time I am getting food from here. The place was busy and they not only not have enough people to take carry out orders, but the food was a major disappointment. After waiting for more than 15-20 mins at the counter to order, we were told to go to the bar to order! The bar was busy too - but the bartender took the order, he was not familiar with all the menu items, I guess but he seemed to be not well versed. The lady at the bar is very unfriendly. Got the food home - Vegetarian Burrito Bowl had just plain rice - no beans, no cheese, some sprinkles of vegetables, fried avocado was there - I asked it to be vegetarian with No Meat - but didn't say no beans or cheese. Enchiladas were ok - skipmpy portions - I had to even ask for salsa to go with the chips. wasted $30 + $5 tip - yes, I tip for carry out too - because I know people work at bar to expect tips. Overall bad experience. I will be not giving them anymore business. read more

Good drinks and service, but food is mediocre. Like the location and vibe; wish the food other than chips was equal to the ambiance.

We enjoyed Tequila Mama with our family. Bit of a bummer we couldn't eat on the top patio outside for lunch because it doesn't open till 4:30pm, so thought that was strange since it's 80 degrees outside. Food 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Ask for JJ! He's the best! We will be returning just because of him!! read more

Tequila Mama Taqueria is pretty new in the Buford area so of course we had to try it! Me and a group of friends came on a Saturday night and it was PACKED! We had to seat in the upstairs area which was amazing! Great views and atmosphere. Service is okay. Like I said it was packed so it is understandable, but I just feel like our server could've been a little more attentive. We had to ask 3 times for a TO-GO box because she kept forgetting. Again, not a big deal just annoying. Drinks are veeeeery strong which was a plus!! But food it is simply not great. Mediocre at best. Great presentation but just bland, small portions and definitely overpriced! I had initially ordered the Bulgogi Bowl. It came with Steak, grilled onions and peppers, slaw, pickled onions and cheese over rice. The steak was delicious but the toppings were definitely going bad. The pickled onions and slaw were sooo sour it ruined the rest of the dish. Our server offer a replacement and I got the steak fajitas instead which were okay, but definitely better! Some people in my table ordered the tacos and they were definitely too small and not worth the price. We also got the Oreo Churros and that was like the best thing we tasted! In general I'd recommend coming to this place for a night out with great drinks and good music, but not if you're hungry! ESPAÑOL Tequila Mama Taqueria abrio recientemente en el área de Buford, así que, por supuesto teníamos que visitarlos! Un grupo de amigos y yo fuimos un sábado por la noche y el lugar estaba LLENO! Tuvimos que sentarnos en el área de arriba lo cual fue increíble! El ambiente es fantástico. El servicio es ok. Como dije, estaba lleno, por lo que es comprensible, pero siento que nuestra mesera pudo haber sido un poco más atenta. Tuvimos que pedir 3 veces una caja para llevar porque se le olvidaba. Las bebidas son muuuy fuertes, lo cual fue una ventaja! Pero la comida simplemente no es excelente. Mediocre en el mejor de los casos. Excelente presentación, pero simplemente insípida, porciones pequeñas y definitivamente demasiado cara. Inicialmente pedí el Bulgogi Bowl. Vino con bistec, cebollas y pimientos asados, ensalada de repollo, cebollas encurtidas y queso sobre arroz. El bistec estaba delicioso, pero los aderezos definitivamente se estaban echando a perder. Las cebollas encurtidas y la ensalada estaban tan amargas que arruinaron el resto del plato. Nuestra mesera ofreció un reemplazo y pedí las fajitas de carne que estaban definitivamente mejor. Algunas personas en mi mesa pidieron los tacos y definitivamente eran demasiado pequeños y no valían el precio. También pedimos los Churros de Oreo y fue lo mejor que probamos! En general, recomendaría venir a este lugar para salir por la noche con excelentes bebidas y buena música, pero no si tienes hambre! read more

This place (or at least this location) is not what it use to be. The service is horrible: I felt like my waiter has an attitude when I asked a question about an item on the menu. I also watched the table next to me wait 15 MINUTES for someone to greet them. The table next to me eventually got their food but with no water or napkins lol. Food: greasy and sloppy. I ordered the fried shrimp Taco and it was drowned in a mayo base sauce. Drinks: expensive for top shelf liquor or else they will make you a sugary drink. I stopped coming here hoping if I took a break and came back it would get better, nope it got worse! Poor quality food. Poor quality service. read more

Me and my husband frequently come to TM but we slacked up from coming because the atmosphere really changed and the music.

We had a great experience here last night! We sat in the downstairs which seemed a little calmer than the upstairs in my opinion. The overall ambiance was so cute and fun. They have a great skinny margarita! The $11 for queso and salsa was a little much, but it was good. Not better quality but a huge portion. I got two specialty tacos and I cannot stop raving about the Cubano! It was one of the best tacos I've had in a while. They do not make their own tortillas, but the corn tortillas were good. Overall we had a great dinner and will be back. **perfect for larger groups! read more

Everyone liked the churros too. read more

9/20/23. Lunch stop. This place is literally on a 1/4 mile away. The decor and atmosphere is lively and tastefully done. That's where it all stops. I was truly looking for a neighborhood eatery in Buford. But....... It was very bland and tasteless. I ordered a steak bowl, hubby had chicken tenders and fries. The server was really pushing the appetizers, but they cost as much as the lunch entree. After tasting my dish, I requested the complimentary chips and salsa. She never offered them, but every table had them. I had to use the salsa to add some flavor and used the chips to scoop up the food. read more

Cute place. A little loud. We frequently pass this place, and wanted to try it. Although the reviews are relatively mixed, with more negative than places we care to visit, we though we'd give it a go anyway. Server wasn't particularly friendly. We had to ask for chips and salsa. She forgot those, but pushed awfully hard for us to get an appetizer. I ordered chicken fingers and wife ordered a lunch bowl. Everything was void of any flavor. My chicken fingers and fries were so oily, I could barely eat them. Also, the chicken fingers were about the same size as the fries. I gave two stars which were for the decor more than anything. With food and service being what it was, I couldn't recommend this place. read more

Tequila Mama (Buford location) was epic for Cinco de Mayo! The food was amazing, service was attentive (even though it was crowded), and ambiance was celebratory. This was our 2nd time going in a week and this restaurant did not disappoint during both visits. Fun for the whole family. Check it out. read more

Tequila Mama feels like a spring break resort getaway, walking up those turquoise stairs past the vivid green fake grass with glossy red play structures on it. The whole vibe is FUN. Every seat and wall screams for an Instagram selfie, and the food and drinks do too. All of the drinks and food that my gf and I were served were colorful and beautiful and photo worthy. The taste was amazing and fresh. My only small issue was the sound. I couldn't hear half the conversation with her, right across the table from me. It was far too noisy. I can't imagine how much louder it would get on a late night weekend, when I was there for an early weekday dinner. Our server was nice enough, but seemed new and not entirely knowledgeable about the menu, but two of the managers (?) came by once or twice to check on us which was nice. I'd go back, maybe for lunch instead since the lunch menu looked like a great deal as well. read more

Came in for cinco de Mayo and it was obviously packed! I loved the indoor/outdoor bar so we could still order. This place is massive with ample seating inside, upstairs and their bars and would be an awesome place to visit in the hot weather. They even have a grassy area if you must bring your kids. Large gravel lot behind the main lot and they offer valet if you're fancy. The drinks were good, strong and reasonably priced. I had the Texas margarita and that may be my goto there. The chamoy margarita from the place across the grassy area was also very good. I'm not sure if they're both under the same company but I had a great time at both! I will 100% be back. read more

Visited Tequila Mama when visiting a friend in Atlanta. Very cute rooftop restaurant with an outside patio and fun decorations! Our server was very kind and the food came out quite quickly. I was between the quesabirria and the enchiladas but ended up going with the enchiladas. It came with 3 enchiladas stuffed with ground beef and topped with enchilada sauce, cheese, sour cream and cilantro then served w/ rice & charro beans. I was fairly impressed with my enchiladas as they had a great flavor and the sauce wasn't incredibly overbearing as it is with a majority of enchilladas. To drink I had the 'Mama Colada' which is malibu rum, calypso 151, crema de coco, fresh pineapple and comes in a whole pineapple. This is one of those drinks that you absolutely only need one of to be set for the night. read more
