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

Playlist is always on point!!! Food is delicious and servers are great! We usually get the queso with chorizo, passion fruit mojitos, birria tacos here are bomb, Cadillac nachos bbq ots, Cuban bowl, the La bamba shrimp with the wonton tostadas!! 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

The happy hour and weekday deals are great, and the birria is amazing, flavorful and tender. Love the fries and nachos. 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. Kids played until food was ready and it made for a fun night with two boys and mamas for a nice night out!!! read more

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

The pastor was supposed to be extra crispy, but it was barely cooked. The service took over an hour, and the food tasted terrible. I would never recommend this place. They also charge an additional 12% for using the outside bar. It's extremely pricey -- don't come here. Trash. 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

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

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

I was amazed @ how big the place was! My husband and I sat at the bar and Tess was our Bar-Tender! She's Wonderful The Margarita's were, Great! The rice bowl was, Freaking Delicious and the atmosphere was soothing! I highly recommend this Location! @communitysharing #communitysharing 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

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

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

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

AMBIENCE! It's a vibe . There are two floors . Both floors have outside and inside dining . It is a little pricey but the food is amazing and the vibe as well so worth the money. The drinks are good and strong lol and calling all PARENTS , they have a play area for the kids to run and jump !!!!! So grab a margarita and let them kids run off that energy!!!! read more

Me and my husband frequently come to TM but we slacked up from coming because the atmosphere really changed and the music. Normally, they would play Latin/ Spanish music but now I feel like I'm just at a regular bar. The food is always good though and the drinks especially the frozen margaritas are top tier. The service is very fast and the restaurant is always clean. read more

Tequila Mama - Buford - Oreo Churros with ice cream - Mexican Near Me - Buford, Georgia

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

Great, efficient service. Really nice, medium upscale vibes with nice decor. Lots of food options for everyone in the family. We especially enjoyed the fresh chips and guacamole, the ahi tuna tostadas, calamari tacos, and empanadas. The child in our party loved the chicken fingers and fries. Everyone liked the churros too. read more

Had lunch with my family here and it exceeded expectations. The restaurant had the dialed in feel of a restaurant group buildout and the food was of a higher quality than expected. I had the chicken tinga enchiladas, a Texas margarita and the other things we ordered were good as well. Price felt very reasonable. Judging by the space, I imagine that on weekend evenings it would be more of a bar than a restaurant, but when we went it was primarily serving food. Service was good. read more

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

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

Great service and food. Took family for my son's birthday and everyone enjoyed it. Would definitely go back.

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 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

Tequila Mama - Buford - sesame crusted blackened chicken with seasoned veggies! - Mexican Near Me - Buford, Georgia

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

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

The place itself is the major attractor. You can basically Instagram the whole thing. It's very cute and trendy. However, the service is bad, I mean really really bad. My friend has even gone back twice and said it never got better. The food is okay, so I recommend you only go for drinks and maybe apps. Parking: a big shared lot with other businesses. read more

The whole rooftop area is so cute. The decor and look of the restaurant is so pretty and very instagrammable. I would def come here at night. Now, the service was a little under average because our server didn't check on us as often and we had to keep asking for things he didn't give us like plates and extra napkins with our appetizer. It was hard to find him when we needed him ~ The drinks are good here so I would recommend that! The Cadillac Nachos are JAM PACKED. Because they come so loaded, your nachos will show up already half soggy. The flavor of the nachos were okay, but it felt like it was missing something. The specialty tacos are juicy and yummy. I got the La Bamba taco and Bulgogi taco and they were flavorful ! read more

I don't know how to really feel but I'm going to leave a review. We came here tonight. Me and my friend with our kids to try this place out for the first time the place was crowded with other people and their kids as well . Kids were everywhere playing in the open space play area which was actually very nice a quick little way to tire out the kids while the adults get comfortable while also waiting to get a table or even just drinking beer. They had a nice little fire pit and a few chairs to sit on around the fire place and in a good view to watch the kids , you will see that down below in my photos . The parking lot was pretty tight. Another restaurant is close by just as well as they had two food trucks out there.tonight. I'm not sure if the food truck is an every weekend thing or what especially that was going on today that they have it. This being right next to the mall is actually a good attraction. Now here's what the issue is , We got here around 6:15 and had to be on the waiting list which was one hour and 45 minutes. I got a confirmation text saying that when it's time for my table to be ready. We will be seated that was at 6:17 so we waited about a good, 45 minutes till almost an hour before deciding to leave because it was taking too long . At 8:53 is when we finally got a confirmation saying that the table is ready we were already gone by then that was way too long. So long story short, I don't have a review about the food, because we didn't get a chance to get seated to get food but as far as when it comes down to the set up here's a look . Hopefully next time I can leave a review about the food because I'll definitely like to come read more
