A clean, pleasant interior with plenty of booth & table seating choices. We were seated promptly and were impressed with the broad dining choices....much more variety than the typical Tex-Mex places. Food was very flavorful. Glad we saw the very positive reviews and tried the Happy Taco! Will continue to eat here. read more

The Happy Taco in Acworth, GA, went from an awesome food truck to a even better restaurant. It has carved out a niche for itself as a go-to spot for taco lovers. It is a great place for families or friends to gather. The menu is great but of course I recommend going after the Carne Asada Tacos and ask for the hot sauce to give it even more depth of flavor. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff member went the extra mile for our service and dining experience. Overall, The Happy Taco is a solid choice for anyone in the area looking for tasty Mexican cuisine. read more

Service was great! Drinks always good. The salsa was tasty but needed more heat for this Texican(Mexican from Texas). I had esquites which were very good. I also had the carne asada, which was nicely seasoned but it and the rice and charro beans were too salty. My friend's food did not look as appetizing as it usually does either. I know sometimes things are off in the kitchen so I will give Happy Taco another try and hope there is improvement read more

Best kept secret in Woodstock! Food, service and ambience are all fantastic! My chicken tacos were fresh, authentic and amazing!!

Today we decided to try Happy Taco for lunch, what a great find! We didn't expect to find such a beautiful restaurant inside. The outside is unsuspecting, nice, clean, but gives the impression of fast food. The second that you walk in you realize this place is amazing! Vibrant interior, spacious, comfortable seating options, even a lovely bar, so clean you could eat off the floors, you are graciously greeted and then seated, a very accommodating staff. Everyone was so attentive and friendly, what breath of fresh air! The food, holy guacamole, get ready to be HAPPY! The chips and salsa were very good, freshly made salsa with the perfect spices and plenty of thin fresh crispy chips. Not the standard run of the mill stuff, we knew right then that the food was going to be amazing and it was. Our server was so sweet, she had only been there a month and she was fantastic! Now on to the food... the chicken on my tostada salad was the highlight, seasoned so deliciously, the chicken was perfectly grilled, juicy, tender chunks, not shredded and dry like practically every place in Georgia. This salad was so fresh, and so amazing, even the tostada shell was fresh, I couldn't stop eating it! We tried an al pastor Taco which did not disappoint, bits of pineapple really delicious, also the ground beef enchilada was excellent, so was the chicken burrito, we requested no queso topping on anything because we believe queso shouldn't touch real Mexican food. The rice was perfection, the beans good flavor but a bit too thin. Over all the food was excellent, a solid and well deserved 5 stars. We are looking forward to going back and trying everything, but that grilled chicken tostada salad will forever be my favorite! Happy Taco, you made us very happy, we will see you again real soon. read more

Atmosphere is nice. Staff is a little reserved. Food is great. Good prices and good size portions.

My friend and I have been going to the same Mexican restaurant in Woodstock for years, usually once a week. The food and service has gradually degraded over time to where we decided that today was a good time to find a new place. I read the reviews and we decided to eat at The Happy Taco. Wow! What an experience! The service was excellent! Our server was so attentive that we didn't even have to ask for anything because she brought it before we even knew we needed it. The food was outstanding. My friend had tacos and I had the burrito bowl. We both had a margarita and they were delicious. Between the food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance and the prices this is now our go to restaurant. I am sad that we did not discover this great place before! I highly recommend it! read more

We have eaten here a few times, the food is great and the service is excellent. Great place to eat.

Great food. Exceptional craft margaritas. Willing to pass by at least half a dozen Mexican restaurants to come here. Highly recommend.

The best drinks in Woodstock/acworth area! They have the friendliest staff. Food is fantastic as well! They have great week day specials. Definitely stop in and make this your new favorite Mexican restaurant or happy hour spot read more

The Happy Taco - Si Hay Alcohol & Mango Chamoy Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Acworth, Georgia

Ambiance was nice, food was tasty. trainee was not ready for her own table yet, she needs to learn the menu more thoroughly, including basic alcohol drinks, she didn't know they had Mojitos. One of our orders came out correctly, the Cheese. The one chicken fajitas came out without pico, lettuce or sour cream. The one order with no beans came out with beans, the ground beef chalupa was ordered with no beans and showed up with beans and no meat, it had to be eaten with a fork, the chicken taco ordered with no cheese, showed up with just chicken on a flour tortilla, no pico, no tomato, no lettuce, yes just meat and bread. read more

Odered a steak burrito with chesse sause on top .got something really wierd - come to.find out, the waitress speaks no english. Asked for manager, he is not here today. No one in the entire restaurantspeaks enough english to fix my order. Ended up not eating lunch. Asked for beer - dos equis - they are out. Asked for Micholob ultra...they brought me a half glass ...they are out. And what they brought me was undrinkable. All in all, the WORST experience that i have ever had in a Mexican restaurant. read more

First time here and it was amazing. I ordered the Birria and it was fantastic. The hot sauce is spot on and the rest of the food was served nice and hot. Even the chips are fresh. Our server was great. It was good to see the owners meeting with the wait staff reviewing the evening goals. That shows leadership and a wiliness to succeed at what they do. We will be back. read more

The Happy Taco - Birria - Mexican Near Me - Acworth, Georgia

The food is amazing and reasonable price . Luv this place. I recommend this place to my family and friends. Staff are efficient .

Please go visit! We need more of these local spots Happy Taco is run by a really cool husband and wife team. The decor is minimal and that's ok bc that's not what a good place is about. The food is excellent! There is definitely a Mexican restaurant bend to it, with obvious reason, but it's better than the cookie cutter. I've honestly never branched much on the menu bc the Pastor and Birria are so good there's no need. The seasonal margarita flight is always very creative and purposed. Flavors are unique and the presentation is very nice. You can tell someone loves what they do! Don't skip this spot! read more

Delicious food. Great service. We got the Birria tacos and the steak tacos. Birria tacos came with beef broth for dipping. Great flavor. Salsa was really good. For the price I wish sides came with the tacos. We ordered pinto beans and they were also very good. This place is a cut above and more authentic than many of the other similar restaurants like this. Cool vibe and decor too! read more

Food & service excellent. Enjoy the difference in the menu items and the quality. Our favorite go to Mexican restaurant.

Got seated right away and had some of the best salsa I've ever had! It's served with light crispy tortilla chips. And if you like street corn, this is going to be your new favorite restaurant. Be sure to squeeze a little lime in the corn. Yum! Add a classic margarita while you wait. Very nice and attentive staff. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail as the tables were cleared too. Cleanliness is a priority here. Enjoy! read more

Happy Taco is Very different from pretty much Every Mexican restaurant around Woodstock. The refried beans are the best I have ever tasted. The restaurant is very clean and bright, with a very friendly staff. The prices are slightly higher than the other Mexican restaurants in the area but only by about $1.00 or so. The quality of the food is well worth that extra buck 100%. The Taco Combo and Taco Salad is Very good which has Asada Not ground beef. And did I mention the Beans? Yes. If you try Happy Taco I think you will be surprised at the quality of the food. It's worth every penny. I have only had the Taco Combo and the Taco Salad but everything else looks fantastic. Try it. read more

Our server was very attentive, friendly and grateful that we came in. The inside gives off a night club/discotheque vibe. Don't get me wrong, it's clean and bright and vibrant, but it seems that they focus more on appearances than they do on the food. My al pastor burrito had a fair amount of flavor, however, it lacked pineapple's sweet acidity, which is a key component in my opinion...the taste was all savory (achiote/salt/onion) and lacked depth, meanwhile the ratio of al pastor to filler ingredients (rice & beans) was highly imbalanced. My wife ordered the birria tacos, and while they were acceptable, the tortillas were limp, not crisp, another key trait that they failed on, a significant quality for birria; the consomé dip tasted like a beef broth made from bouillon cubes garnished with cilantro and onions. If you're fine with paying $4.75 per taco, then by all means, go ahead. I have definitely had much better options, even as close as Smyrna & Marietta. If a gringo can pick apart your menu offerings, your chef(s) need(s) some coaching. With the drink selection, my wife did rave about the margarita flight...considering it's $20 for 4 tiny drinks, probably about 2-3 oz per drink besides the ice. Honestly, I won't be going back anytime soon. I wish them all the best, but you're paying for polish, not quality. read more
