    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.

    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.

    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!!πŸ˜‚). 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.

    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!

    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!

  • 5/5 Emma P. 10 months ago on Google
    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!

    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 Β£7.50 - were delicious: corn tortillas filled with a blend of string cheese, crumbly cheese and tomatillo salsa. Mushroom TacoΒ  - at Β£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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Clementine B. 1 year ago on Google
    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...

    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!

    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!

  • 5/5 Mollie E. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Gina P. 1 year ago on Google
    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 only visit Margate twice a year for days out. I have gone into the Mechanical Elephant on each visit to order breakfast.
