CT Cantina & Taqueria

First time at CT Taqueria and it was amazing! My friend and I came by after the gym, and everything hit the spot. The steak fajitas were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Our waiter was super friendly and welcoming. which made the experience even better. Great food & great service

A new chic Tulum inspired restaurant right here in Dunwoody!! It's such a great choice for a date night or gather your friends and make it a girls night! Soon as you walk in there was a DJ spinning techno, the bar was packed and you felt like you were out of the country! They really put detail into making the outdoor patio space beautiful. The food was delicious! They automatically bring you chips and an array of 4 different types of salsas! I ordered as my apps the ceviche and salmon cakes which were so flavorful!! Then my main course were the street tacos 1 shrimp, 1 chicken, 1 tinga and those were seasoned really well too! Highly recommend checking them out!!

I recently visited CT Cantina and Taqueria for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. The staff made us feel welcome and truly enhanced the overall dining experience. The menu has a solid variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. I ordered the tamales, which were flavorful and well-prepared, while my sister had the birria tacos, which she really enjoyed. We both tried the skinny margaritas—refreshing and perfectly balanced! The ambiance is lively and versatile, with both indoor and covered outdoor dining available. Whether you're stopping by for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, the environment feels right for just about any setting—kid-friendly, great for date nights, or even professional meetings. Though valet parking wasn’t available during our visit, there is a secure paid parking space nearby, and the first two hours are free, which is very convenient. We ended our meal with dessert, and the options did not disappoint. Also worth mentioning—the bar is huge with plenty of seating and space throughout the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend CT Cantina and Taqueria. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or a relaxed dining experience, this spot checks all the boxes. Be safe and enjoy!

This place was very clean and well decorated. The customer service we received was excellent from the beginning of us walking into the restaurant. The food was to die for. Every bite was amazing. It's definitely a place I would go back to. Also, the drinks were perfectly done as well. It was beautifully decorated as well.

This is probably one of the nicer Mexican restaurants in the area as far as ambiance goes. It’s decorated very well and the outdoor seating is great. Prices were typical with most plates ranging in the $15 - $20 range but and we were all very satisfied with our food. We will be returning and glad we came across this place.

Went to CT Reforma on 7/19, and I was so impressed I brought my family back on 7/26 to try CT Cantina & Taqueria. It was a 10/10 all around! I order the Enchiladas …so delicious! The vibe and aesthetics were the perfect mix of chill and upscale—definitely worth the drive!

Went for a dinner date with my partner! Firstly, this is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing vibe. Almost made me feel like I was in Tulum. The complimentary salsas were amazing. We ordered the guac for our appetizer, which was fresh and very tasty. For our entree’s we ordered Chicken Tinga, Shrimp, and Grilled Chicken Tacos and they were very good a flavorful. For drinks, We ordered the Red Sangria and the Pina Colata, both were great!!!! Overall, very good food and even better vibes. However, the only downside was that the service was subpar, we sat and waited for an extended amount of time before we had to grab someone passing by and ask if she knew who our waiter was. Additionally, once food was brought we barely ever saw our server and also had to flag someone down again for our check, which tanked our experience a bit. They seemed to have a lot of big parties so that could’ve contributed to this issue, but my experience shouldn’t be affected by that. Nevertheless, we plan to try it again!

What an amazing Friday these two BFFs had at @cttacos in Dunwoody, GA, in the Perimeter Mall area. First, let's start with what you all want, you know, is th food good? The answer is easy that it is great. But here are the details: Drinks- Blueberry Margarita ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Guava Margarita ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frood- Salsa Quattro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So you automatically get a four salsa and chips to your table. And all of the salsas are so freaking good!! We had to make ourselves stop eating it. We were also impressed that their chips are made in house and still warm when they got to our table! Red Snapper Ceviche ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was really good and you could tell it was really fresh. Jalisco Burrito Barbacoa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The meat in this burrito was so tender, and tasty. Then the avocado and cheese sauce really brought it home. Jalisco Burrito Carnitas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dessert- Mango Cheesecake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very well constructed, beautiful dessert. We just wanted it to be more mango forward. Like super mango! Snickers cheesecake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ O-M-G this was outrageously good and I dont even eat the candy. Everything from the crust, to caramel, to crumble was soooo amazing!! So not only was the food great here, the customer service was top teir, and check the videos the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. Like picturesque beautiful!! Don't walk, run to this hidden gem in Dunwoody,GA.

Secret GEM ALERT!! YELP FAM!!! The year is flying by, and I have so many reviews to share from the last several months--so don't be surprised if you see a lot of uploads in a short period. I'm finally making time to catch up and post them all! Okay, so this is my first official review for this spot, but just know--I've been here about four times already (three times at the Dunwoody location and once in Alpharetta). I have to say, Dunwoody is my favorite, but we'll get into that in just a bit. First things first: I absolutely love this space. I prefer going on Thursdays, but I've also been on a Friday. Both days were pretty chill, but there's something I really enjoy about Thursday evening dinners. The location feels like a mini resort--seriously, the ambiance is spot-on. You can tell they're still building up the area around it, but it's already super aesthetic and pleasant. I usually make a reservation when I go, and every visit has been a great experience. There's plenty of room to sit! I love the patio, but I especially enjoy sitting inside what looks like a little hut--super cozy. Now let's talk food--because it's AMAZING. Over my visits to the Dunwoody location, I've tried (and loved) the following: The queso The guac The local rice The asada fries The street shrimp tacos The Taco de Ribeye The margaritas are also worth trying! My favorites are the passionfruit, peachy peach, blackberry, and strawberry. I did try the Guava Lava, but that one wasn't a fave for me. As I mentioned, I also visited the Alpharetta location. It was okay--the menu was a little different. I still prefer Dunwoody, but if you're in Alpharetta, it's worth a try! The service has always been good. They also have a dessert and coffee area inside, and after eating, there's space in the courtyard to relax. Just great vibes all around. Parking is pretty simple, if you want to valet you can ( I never do) I usually get a ticket from the parking kiosk and park through the gate. You can park for free up to two hours. I do believe they validate. I tried to use the validation QR CODE, didn't work just ask what to do I'm sure I did it wrong Highly recommend. Be sure to check out my food pics from several of my visits below!

Beautiful new restaurant near perimeter mall, it's spacious and giving aesthetic. Parking is free up to 2 hours. We came on a Tuesday. Food was good. Service was a tad slow despite it not being very busy.

Came last eve for Margarita Mondays based off IG post. Probably won't return. And if I do it will be cooler weather and I'll sit outdoors because the music was unreasonably high *not to mention DJ played R Kelly!* and when I told the server, she said that the management has been told that repeatedly. My friend had come here two weeks before and raved about it. But for me, it wasn't worth the drive from Atlanta. There is free parking (which the host up front claimed to not know anything about) for 3 hrs but the valet use the spots up and park in the middle of the lot so arrive early. I also hear there's a looong wait at the end of the night, if people do valet. I met up with friends I hadn't seen in a long time and it was a shame I couldn't even hear them across the table! I had 2 impossible and 2 veggie tacos as part of one dish. It was okay. My friend ordered taco salad she'd had previously, they brought her a stale one, and she had to get the manager (who had an attitude) to replace it. When they did replace it, she was very pleased. But overall this just doesn't seem to be a place where customers are priority. And by having the music so loud, they're going to alienate an entire demographic, which is a shame because the music (minus R Kelly) was pretty good. If I hear they change it up I'll make the drive again. But as it stands now, it won't be on hangout list. OH AND I ALMOST FORGOT: Even though it's NOT on the website, there's a $10 fee if you come after 7pm!

Visited again this past Friday and sat inside with a reservation. They had a DJ and our server Arath was wonderful. We had the guacamole which I loved, and shared the street skillet (the steak is SO GOOD).

Such a hot spot eatery in the Perimeter area. Such a lively, upbeat vibe with colorful decor and a welcoming atmosphere. My Gal Pal comes here often, and extended me an invite for lunch. I ordered the 4 Mini Street Tacos with Impossible Meat, Potatoes and Veggies, and was pleased. I tried the house-made frescos - Pineapple, a refreshing non-alcoholic option. We shared the trio of salsas with chips - roasted chip salsa, tomatillo chip salsa, spicy habanero and Pico, with each one having a distinct flavor. The pico is surprisingly spicy. The food came out fast, and everything tasted freshly made. It's a solid spot for flavorful eats, especially if you're looking for a few vegan-friendly choices. Service was quick and friendly. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Doable prices for fresh made Mexican food and beverages. They also offer a coffee bar and a bakery. Great energy from the moment you walk in, with a wonderful backdrop for a laid-back lunch or a lovely night out. Monday nights is a promotional event for the grown ups.

Visited CT Cantina & Taqueria last Monday during what seemed like a busy night. While there was an event happening on one side, we dined on the opposite end. Our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed with the crowd, but she truly did her best and stayed friendly throughout. One thing I really appreciated was how they brought out four sauces for two people--each of us got our own set of two with separate dipping containers. A small touch, but a nice one. Now let's talk about the Spain tacos--loved, loved, loved them. Shrimp, sausage, and this creamy queso-style sauce all packed into one flavorful bite. They came with rice and beans, which I mixed together for the perfect combo. I'll definitely be back just for those tacos alone.

Food: Presentation beautifully plated. Enchiladas were delightful. I should have just stuck w/the chicken since I liked the chicken over the Al pastor & steak enchilada. Variety enchiladas were over bed of coconut lime rice which was cooked perfectly. So glad I got the guacamole...by far THE BEST I EVRR HAD it was the smoothest creamiest guac I've ever had in my life! Very good! Lastly, the watermelon-basil margarita was ok, it was great it tasted fresh and not too sweet. Alcohol I did not taste really but, if I the alcohol kicks in later...expect an update! lol SERVICE: My server was great very hospital by coming back to check his I liked my meal. AMBIANCE: I like this place and I will be back to try the mini salmon croquettes, queso-fries and more margaritas...next time!

So this is a fairly new restaurant in Dunwoody. It's kind of tucked away so you kind of got to know where you're going. If you're going to find it because you won't find it, just wandering around the main street. This spot is near a hotel and it is free parking. Well kind of free, you can find parking along the underpass, or there's a parking structure there as well. The parking structure is a pace structure but the first 2 hours are free so that's more than enough time. This spot has the potential to be really dope. They have happy hour, I haven't tried it yet but it's on Melissa things to come back for. But they have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you're trying to catch a vibe, you may want to go ahead and slide through on a Friday night. But make a reservation first just to make sure you can get a table. So this is a gorgeous place. They really built it out and decorated it very well. It's indoor and outdoor and a lot of extra frills and bells and whistles. If you sit outside, it's perfectly shaded and covered, yet you still have the outside view. Which is a courtyard right across from a hotel. If you want to sit inside, there's plenty of nooks and crannies and the bar is very large so you can just sit at the bar as well. They have a dessert display station and a coffee area as well. So if you are trying to see what they have on display you can find the cheesecake you want or whatever you're looking for. Or you can figure out what type of coffee you're looking for to start the afternoon. Chips and salsa - chips were well done and fresh...salsa (4 options) were all good on they one rite...came as soon as I sat down. A winner! Queso dip - the dip was good overall although it felt like it had been sitting because it had the layer of cheese beginning to harden over the top of the cheese. Steak taco - good taco, pretty standard though Al pastor taco - pretty tasty taco, tender and juicy and the right amount of spice Carnitas taco - good option, just the right amount of salty savory tenderness Barbacoa taco - good flavor, good sauce that adds to it Overall, I think this place was a solid hit. It's still new so it still has a lot of growing to do. But they've done a really good job and when more people find out about it it's probably going to be a whole thing LOL. But if you want to stop in for some good food and a nice vibe, would a really good ambience to boot, this will be a really good option.

Beautiful, beautiful space. The ambiance transports you to Mexico. Perfect space for so many occasions. I've been to the Alpharetta location many times and really wasn't expecting much difference, but this one definitely has a different vibe. Went for "date day," and it was the cutest vibe in the one of the cabanas. Like Alpharetta, they serve you with a salsa sampler to start, and I love every one of the salsas. We got the Asada fries as an appetizer. Loved the fries they use... nice and crispy. I loved everything in the appetizer, but preferred to eat the asada and queso with the tortilla chips instead of the fries. We also got some mini tacos. I had barbacoa. Tortilla thinner than normal, but good. Barbocoa tender and flavorful. For my entrée, I got the enchilada with chicken. The dish was delicious and had a rich taste to it. Maybe from the coconut rice. Portion was generous and I had enough to take home. We also tried the a drink. It was the one in the cup you can take home, forgetting the name of it :(, but it was too salty for my taste. Cute glass though. The restaurant is kind of tricky to find. I was almost sure the GPS had misdirected us. It's kind of hidden in the back of the hotel. There is a large lot to park, with 2 hours free. Can't wait to come back!

This place is literally so cute! The interior is super aesthetic--perfect for a photo op--and the vibe is just right whether you're going for brunch, a birthday dinner, family outing, or even a date night. When I went, they had live music and a vendor passing out shots, which made it even more fun! We really didn't have to wait when we got there but service was overall quick. The food was amazing, and to top it all off, the valet parking for just $5. Overall, such a great experience--I'd definitely recommend it to everyone!

8/10! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful - 10/10. I live in Dunwoody so it's so nice to see this area grow so much. The margaritas were so great and the salmon croquettes were a 10/10 - hot and fresh. The service was a little slow, we waited about 20-25 minutes for a server to come although he was wonderful he disappeared for long periods of time. My queso came out cold although it was on a skillet so I took it back. The mini street tacos, nothing was mini about it..they come out with so much meat and it was delicious. This establishment just opened but I will be back. The handed out samples or new drinks they are trying and shots of specific tequila which was lovely. I'll definitely be back! This restaurant makes you feel like you're in Mexico or Puerto Rico!!!

Not big on dating apps... but I'm even less into missing out on fine, intentional men. CT Taqueria is a beautiful venue-- with lots of photo-worthy spots throughout. The outdoor seating area is especially sexy, and the interior is big and spacious with a variety of cozy seating options: booths, high tops, and intimate nooks for every vibe. We started with an appetizer that was really tasty. My entree- tacos were just okay--not bad, but they didn't wow me. I'd definitely come back to try something else on the menu though, because the overall experience was solid. The night I went, the place was buzzing with birthday celebrations and a mostly younger crowd. As the evening went on, a more mature crowd started to roll in, which added a nice balance. There's also a tempting dessert counter I didn't indulge in (this time!) and a cute coffee bar area that would be great for daytime visits. Outside, there's a shared plaza space with chairs and benches for a "roam-and-relax" feel. The area is still developing, but I can see it becoming a fun spot. Bonus: valet parking was only $5--huge plus in my book. This spot is great for date night, girls night out, birthday celebration.

Very hidden gem delivering upscale vacation feels. I walked in and felt transported to a resort in a Mexico. Immediately greeted and asked my seating preference... of course i chose the patio! Upon seating I ordered a strawberry mojito. Shortly after I received chips and three different salsas with a side of pico. For lunch so ordered the salmon accompanied with spinach, rice and cauliflower. Everything was excellent with the exception of the spinach which was very salty. However, the salmon and rice won me over! Definitely recommend

This place is amazing. Customer service is A1, food was excellent, and the atmosphere was great! Definitely will be back.

The food was reasonable and DELICIOUS. Our waitress Frida was amazing! The music was good.

Delicious fresh food that includes chips and 4 different salsa that are homemade. I highly recommend the tamales they're outstanding. The tortillas are also made in house. Reasonably priced with good value for the high quality of the food and the portion size. I have a recommend without reservation!

Went there for my daughters graduation on Saturday. August 16 first they said they could not serve us because they had all the tables reserved this was at 5pm so one of there servers gave us the option of seating outside which we were okay with since we are from NC and my daughter wanted to go there since they promote Mexican buffet so we gave it a try not only is expensive, they only offer buffet on Sundays which is stated on there website but the server did not provided utensils the food come out cold orders where wrong and sauces thrown at the table yeah I would not go back even if they would pay me

This was our first time at CT and I would give a solid 7 out of 10. The restaurant is beautiful, almost makes you feel like you're on a beach. The service from our waiter was great. The appetizers were also pretty good , I just expected more for the entree. But nevertheless I do plan to return to try something else.

Stopped by for brunch and although they were not currently serving brunch I got a delicious Vanilla Latte. It was a slow and empty morning & the service was impeccable. I got the shrimp and chicken enchiladas over coconut rice and have zero complaints! The dish was packed with flavor and was so filling! We sat outside and it was beautifully decorated. 10/10 recommend!

Will never return ! Had a reservation. When I got there , there were multiple seats visible available . The hostess told us those seats weren't not available to us. We spoke to a manager. She came out speaking Spanish to us when we don't speak Spanish. She smiled and told us that none of the other seats were not available other than one table right next to another black couple We left and the manager, she smiled and said "thank you"

The food was good or what you expect from a more upscale Taqueria. The service at Best was OK. The host was a little rude. I'm sure he was busy but had an attitude.. Not sure I'll be back. I would not get the spicy margaritas. They were not spicy just bland.

SO GOOD, everything here was delicious and loved the vibe/ it's a very nice place. I got the mini/ street steak tacos and a pineapple margarita. Both amazing. We also got queso dip which theirs hit the spot. Outdoor seating if desired and right by courtyard of hotel we're staying at. Waiter was extremely attentive. If we're ever in the area we will definitely come again.

The food, cocktails and ambience were amazing. We were visiting from California, and caught a great vibe while staying at the Element across the way. Awesome!!

The food temperature and customer service on Cinco De Mayo was subpar. Our cocktails weren't properly prepared, nor were they what we ordered. The server attempted to convince us that it was the same as before the rush hour crowd. Our queso left much to be desired, after we received it without tortillas chips. When the server returned, the queso in question had indeed returned to its solid state.

Would have loved to give 5 stars. Ambiance was beautiful. Food came out fast. However our server Timothy was much to be desired.Timothy energy was if he desperately wanted to be at home and not work. Timothy never followed up on our table for additional drinks or desserts. Timothy service ruined what was meant to be a celebration dinner. Our experience was ruined because of Timothy.

No reservations available at 6 tonight or Sunday (for 5). Tonight, night after Mother's Day, was just fine. The restaurant is quite lovely and the food was very good and fresh. One disappointment, though, it does not offer the option for a queso cheese dip without jalapeños. Our family are frequent Mexican food eaters and have never encountered a cheese dip without jalapeños as an alternative.

This location is really beautiful. From the time you walk in, the service impeccable. I had the street tacos and they were flavorful and delicious. The chips n salsa really good. The chips were fresh and they give you four different salsas to try. The chicken tacos just a tad dry to me, and they didn't give me enough to really enjoy. Overall I had a great experience. Oh! The drinks also delicious. I'll be back soon!

Came here over the weekend to celebrate my birthday with some friends! We've frequented the CT Reforma in Buckhead so we were excited to come here because we love the food! For appetizers we had the esquite, queso, and ceviche, all really good. We took advantage of their 5 de Mayo specials and ordered tacos that were $3 each. Collectively we had shrimp, steak, chicken, al pastor, and barbacoa. I had the chicken and barbacoa tacos that were amazing. Kitchen didn't take long considering it was a little busy and food still came out nice and hot. A couple of us also had some drinks, the mango chamoy and two old fashionds. The mango chamoy was good however the old fashion tasted like watered down liquor, we had to request more bitters for a little more flavor. The service was okay. We could tell our server was a little busy but it took us about 10-15 minutes from when we were sat to be greeted, another 10 to order appetizers and about another 15 to order our entrees. It definitely prolonged our visit a little more than we had anticipated and discouraged us from ordering more. She was very kind but we did let her know we were celebrating a birthday and we saw other tables around us being celebrated but we didn't get that same birthday treat for our table which was a small let-down. I'd definitely would try to come back during the week when it's slower to have a better chance of better service.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with a great patio. The food is delicious and drinks are strong! They were very accommodating of our large party with young kids. Our server Alex was the best!

Dropped wife off here to eat with friends. I stayed and sat at bar. Had the most delicious steak burrito in my life. Bartender whipped up some great watermelon margaritas. Menu is outstanding and I'm returning today, one week later. Restaurant atmosphere is perfect and seems like a fun place to hang out.

This was my first time at this restaurant and it was AMAZING! the service is so welcoming, the food was so good and fresh, and the drinks were also tasty. Our server, David, was also super attentive and knew all about the menu to help us choose our meals. The ambiance in the restaurant is also open, and very well put together.

David was an amazing server !! And the food outstanding ! The vibe in here was so good and cozy if you looking for a chill place this is it !! Comfy as well we had David as our server and he was amazing !!! Definitely recommend

The camarones were amazing. Service was speedy and friendly. Our server Joan was very attentive and knew the menu making great suggestions. A unique atmosphere with the coffee shop in the back.
