Dive Tacos in Thanet

Wonderful lunch here. A great little gem in a lovely location. Very friendly service and food was unreal. We ordered one of everything (it’s quite a small menu) and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Nachos and salsa was super fresh and the quesadilla and fish taco were unreal. The margaritas were also amazing! The place is pretty small and I imagine cold get busy but can’t recommend enough!

I used to love this place on the Harbour Arm. Small menu which was not great to be honest, mostly read meat. Vegan Tostada was small and not too interesting. Chicken wings were spicey and quite tasty but at 9.50 for three a little steep. No Rice in sight... Margarita was decent but £13 for a single shot cocktail. The hibiscus soft drink is tasty and unusual. The booth was quite small. We were two adults and two kids and it felt tight. I realise they are trying to squish as many covers as possible into a small restaurant space. Good atmosphere, cosy. Adequate service. Remi Malek seemed to like it though. Will give it another go at another time.

Fantastic food, margaritas and service. Staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is small but worthwhile, they are great at what they do. Great views.

Amazing little spot on the harbour. The fish tacos are delicious and the staff so friendly. No fuss great food. Go!

Great location, friendly servers, and delicious tacos. The fish tacos were beautifully prepared and delicious. The price was a bit high (£10 for one taco, though it was large enough to split into two), but we though it was good enough to order a second!

Genuinely only knocked a star off as i'd love the option of a vegetarian taco!! The quesadilla I had was honestly one of the best I've had, and my friends really enjoyed their fish taco. Just a couple more menu items would have been wonderful.

The fish taco was fantastic, and the service was great!

Phenomenal! I would urge visitors to Margate to try this special spot! We loved the tacos and margaritas so much and I can’t wait to come back soon!

Amazing margarita and tacos in margate. Had the fish and beef taco! Wanted to try the crab but it wasn't on the menu when I came. Taking one star off coz the food was a little bit slow. Will come back though. Dog friendly!

Our favourite place in all of Margate! The mezcaladas and fish tacos were insane, you’re not doing Margate right if you don’t go here. Staff were also super lovely and the location is spot on :)

Ok, but not great. Very overpriced. Wouldn’t return.

Below average fish taco. The fish itself was well prepared, the taco itself was poorly constructed. Too much liquid rendering the taco impossible to eat without it breaking up entirely. Great location for Margate though. Friendly waiter too.

I absolutely love the food at Dive. I have tried everything on the menu and it’s all delicious. The quality of the produce, the generous portion size and the presentation is just perfect!! Love the friendly service and my favourite has to be the margaritas! The best I’ve ever had! I will be back for tacos and margaritas every time I visit Margate!

The best tacos I’ve ever had this is my third time to visit. The fish taco is so good. Will be back again soon.

Best Tacos in the uk ! Recommend the steak taco 🌮 🙌🏽

Worst margarita I've ever had, threw it away :(

Absolutely loved the food and vibes at this place. The dishes were incredibly delicious, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. A must-visit in Margate.

Cannot rave about DIVE enough. Consistently the best little restaurant in Margate. The margaritas are top notch (again I am pleading for them to bring back the Mezcal margarita) and the food is to die for. Always service with a smile and it can't be beat on a beautiful day. Order the quesadillas, you won't regret it!

Great tacos and drinks! What a cool place on the pier. But small so book ahead!

Dive is home to tacos and margaritas on margate harbour arm. The setting is so special and would be extra amazing on a sunny day. Staff were so sweet and friendly. Everything we ate was very very good. Tortilla chips & the smoothest, silkiest Guacamole. Quesadilla - at £7.50 - were delicious: corn tortillas filled with a blend of string cheese, crumbly cheese and tomatillo salsa. Mushroom Taco  - at £8 - were two tacos with three deep-fried oyster mushrooms, pickles, iceberg lettuce, tomato and silken tofu remoulade. Great value. Booking recommended here but a sweet space with immaculate vibes.

Really tasty food, very well cooked and presented. The portions are on the small side, I could maybe have eaten 20% more, but what I did eat was delightful, especially the quesadilla. Only outside seating so it was a little chilly, but on a sunny day it would be beautiful. Definitely worth a stop, but you need to book ahead!

Honestly our favourite place to eat in Margate, we come every time we visit and are always impressed. Some of the most beautiful, locally sourced fish I’ve ever eaten. I go on about it so much to anyone visiting Margate, it’s too good to miss! The only downside is that it’s all outdoor seating but 10000% worth the risk of rain.

Loved! A really special spot. They were so accommodating and friendly helping me organise a birthday lunch. The location is fabulous, with views over the harbour, great atmosphere. Cute little decor touches like the bright pink windows, ceramics and dried flowers. But the main event here is the food. A reassuringly small menu, we loved everything! I had the fish tacos and trout tostada and they were really fresh and flavoursome. Can't wait to come back for more...

The only thing better than the food is the welcome

Such a wonderful weather to sit outside and we just pass by this little nice cozy restaurant. The food is great and the service was too.. if you want to have a small bite yet want to enjoy the sun in margate in summer this is the place to be. Check it out!😉

Tidy little place with great things to offer. The basics - beans, chorizo, potato, egg - are spot on and the salsas bring notes of freshness and zest. Lovely atmosphere that brings warmth even outdoors on a chilly March afternoon. You will bring home a jar of chilli crunch so budget accordingly.

Being a native Texan, I was so impressed by the authenticity of flavors and the quality of the food. Low and behold the chef/owner lived for a while in no other than San Antonio, Texas where I’m from so it makes sense why everything tastes just like it does back home. Hidden gem but probably not for long!

Genuinely, the best meal out I’ve ever had. I actually can’t believe how good it was. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Can’t reccomend enough.

Start with a margarita and be already blown away by the black beans with tortilla chips. The lamb taco is from another world… and the location is so laid back.

Everything was absolutely perfect!

We finally got to Dive after months of wanting to go. The whole thing was amazing! We sampled as much as we could, the whole menu, a cocktail and a beer each. Relaxed and friendly service and blankets at the ready for when the sun went in. Can’t wait to return and excited about the winter premises news!

Lovely staff, delicious food and tasty cocktails all for a very reasonable price. Would love to come back next time we’re in Margate and will be recommending to any friends heading there.

Why can't we get tacos this good in London? Super cute little place with a small changing menu, really no reason not to order the whole menu as it's all delicious and well presented too. Great drinks as well!

I found that the food that they have on their website is not correct. As they did not have any taco. The menu is so small and does not fill you up. Even the staff are no help as well. Especially for someone that has come London like me. Luckily I had some food in the hotel that I stayed in.

As a Broadstairs resident Margate has a lot of food outlets, Angela;s and Dory;s stick out like a sore thumb. The welcome was nice, albeit a bit slow as we were the first there. There were only two main course options fish and steak tacos. Two very small tacos and a piece of fish around the size of a fish finger. It tasted nice but quite watery. The steak was very tough and again quite a small portion. Both retailed at 7.50 for fish and 8.50 for steak. £5 for a bottle of beer, no soft drink options at all apart from a very trendy juice with a bamboo straw for £4 for about three sips. We spent about £50 for four of us and had to head further into Margate to fill up, and have a drink we could afford. I appreciate the idea but it is simply either poor value or aimed at DFL's.

The food was AMAZING! I'm an American living in Europe for the past 7 years and this is the best taco I've had since leaving the states. The corn chips were so fresh they came out piping hot. Also the homemade pottery used for the utensils was delightful. 5 big stars!

I’m an American who has lived in England the past five years and these were the best tacos I’ve had that whole time. Delicious homemade tortilla chips too.

Excellent taste, original cocktails, fast friendly service

Des tacos incroyables, des margaritas géniales, une équipe tellement sympa et une ambiance de fou ! On ne peut aller à Margate sans essayer Dive, passage obligé.

Whenever I travel outside California there always comes a point that I begin to crave good Mexican food. This is usually hard to find in Europe. Dive is the exception. The food was incredible! The menu was small so I recommend ordering at least one of everything. The ingredients are fresh,the spicing is perfect, the service is fast and friendly. I regret not getting one of their margaritas but the jamaica was house made and excellent.

Out of the tiniest kitchens I've ever seen come the most amazing dishes. Ben and Kirstie and the rest of the staff are more than friendly, going out of their way to make sure customers are kept smiling. The menu inviting. The presentation is first class. The location awe inspiring. When in Margate you must stop by and pay them a visit, you'll be glad you did.

Delicious food - highly recommend the pinto beans, quesadilla, fish taco and potato taco. Lovely staff too

Short Rib Tacos, Tortilla Chips with Green Lentils- all delicious. Great food and friendly staff, nice situation overlooking the harbour. The Michelada will knock your socks off

The service was really slow... staff were more interested in chatting to friends and taking cigarette breaks. Margaritas are delicious though!

Nice food and margaritas. Friendly staff. Outdoor venue.

This was probably the best Mexican seafood I have ever had. Prawn ceviche was heaven, also the trout tostada and fish taco were delicious. Strongly recommend the dirty horchata cocktail on the side Lovely staff, and a gorgeous setting on the old pier.

Favourite place in Margate. Really friendly welcome, great owners and staff. The food was stunning from start to finish as were the various margaritas. Can’t wait to return. Good luck in your winter venue Dive.... we will be back.

I've wanted to come here for ages and finally made it today! I had hyped it up a lot in my head, based on other reviews, but I was not disappointed!! Incredible quality food and flavours, amazing thoughtful drinks and lovely friendly service. Enough on the menu to satisfy mine and my husband's vegetarian and meat eating diets, respectively. We basically sampled the whole food menu bar one dish. Possibly the best tacos/tostadas/quesadillas I've ever eaten in the UK and on par or better than some of the taco places I've eaten in the US (to me the US is to Mexican cuisine as the UK is to Indian cuisine). (I've not been to Mexico so can't compare on that front, but I don't think I need to go now!!😂). Will be back again for sure! Can't wait! FYI It's all outside seating so if the weather isn't great wrap up warm! And booking is pretty much essential, a couple of walk-ins were accepted but it was busy when we were there.

I came here in June and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

Not your usual tacos. So good I had to a third once mine were all gone. Small menu and lovely staff, must try. Also great spot where you can watch the bay, or chill above the restaurant and watch the sea.

SUCH a great place! Tiny restaurant with huge flavours & passion. It's got a homemade feel with such lovely staff and seriously amazing quality food & drinks

Dive is on the harbour arm, directly next to the sea on a row of independent bars and restaurants. It has a shabby chic feel; rickety tables and chairs and a bit cramped but warmly lit and very charming. No indoor seating but they do provide comfy ponchos if it’s windy and chilly! It’s a lovely experience sitting outside right by the sea and definitely outweighs the cons of being outside. The menu is small but has lots of lovely choice and a separate vegan menu. Beautiful margaritas. Homemade tortilla chips and taco wraps with well seasoned fillings. Super tasty, really nice time.

PERFECT lunch spot. Delicious and really authentic tasting Mexican in a great spot on the harbour arm. All the staff were super lovely as well

Just a lovely place all round. Unassuming - it's a tiny building on the harbour arm, with no indoor seating - but punches well above its weight. The food was excellent - particularly the trout tostada, although also the quesadilla, and fish taco - and the mezcal and tequila margaritas were supreme. Not just sweet lime juice and booze - these used complex flavours (particularly the smoky mezcal, which complimented the food almost as an additional course). Service was friendly, relaxed, and helpful.

Outstanding. Still smiling from yesterday's visit. Perfect service, perfect food, perfect margaritas. I wish I could give these folk 10 stars out of 5. The best place to eat in Margate, Thanet, Britain and probably the world. Sublime.

SENSATIONAL. This place was recommended to us by locals and it far surpassed our (already high) expectations. Some of the best food I've eaten in years. Delicious margaritas too and great music that was present enough to give you sunny, happy vibes without overpowering. Couldn't recommend it more. Will be coming back next time in Margate, 100%. Thank you.

The best lunch spot! Food, staff and especially the margaritas are fantastic! Thank you so much for your hospitality! I will definitely be recommending and coming back very soon!

Highly recommend if you’re passing through Margate! This is a great little place (outdoor seating only) with great vibes and most importantly excellent food! We had the tortillas & quasadillas to start, and a mix of pork/fish tacos for mains.

Delicious cocktails (in particular the dirty horchata for me)- didn't manage to eat here but plan to next time!

Such lovely margs, fresh and loved the tajin rim! My friends got the mint tea drink and it was so full of flavour. The lady who sat us down was so bright and cheerful and the guy who looks are drinks was so welcoming! Service was 10000/10, defo a must go if you're ever in Margate!!

This place is absolutely amazing, some of the best Mexican food I've tried in a class setting right on the pier. Just behind the restaurant you can look right out over the sea for an amazing sunset also. Had a really enjoyable and fun evening there. Service was 10/10 as were the Margaritas.

Proper, unpretentious, good food and drink! A small but stellar menu and brilliant service (even got to chat to the chef as he cooked our food!) Would definitely recommend!

A true Margate Bank Holiday experience, gale force winds and sea spray at high tide added extra salt to our awesome Mezcal Margaritas. Super fresh food with punchy flavours, served with warmth by great people. So good we had to order extras to experience it again!

Amazing beautiful people and food. Wonderful energy. Tacos made with LOVE and quality ingredients only. Not your average taco, Margaritas with chill salt I like your fusion and taste. You'll be seeing me again. Thank you.

Awesome service, amazing food and perfect margaritas

The BEST tacos and margaritas I’ve had ever! And such a lovely setting ❤️

AMAZING Mexican food in a cute spot on the harbour arm. Great service. Prawn Aguachile and Crab Tostada were highlights. THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND
