The Best Mexican Restaurants in Canton, GA
From authentic Oaxacan street tacos to a rooftop patio with margaritas — Canton's best sit-down Mexican restaurants.
Canton's Mexican scene goes way beyond a quick taco. These are my favorite full sit-down spots — for margaritas, fajitas, patios, and the real deal.
Taqueria Oaxaquena
📍 491 Marietta Rd, Canton, GA 30114 (also 180 Riverstone Pkwy)
Counter-serve, no-frills, and the real deal — where locals go for authentic Oaxacan tacos rather than full-service Tex-Mex.
Al pastor and barbacoa tacos — or a tlayuda for something truly Oaxacan.

📍 3740 Sixes Rd, Canton, GA 30114 (Sixes Rd)
The full sit-down experience — and Canton's best patio Mexican, with a covered patio, an open-air rooftop deck, and a garden dotted with big umbrellas. Great tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas.
