Solid place for tasty tacos. Not a fancy place and yet that brings its own charm to it. Sit outside if possible! …

the food was okay, especially for the price! unfortunately, their claims of having gluten free options aren’t accurate at all :( as someone with celiac, i was excited to find a new spot. i’ve been SO sick.

Best tacos in town without a doubt. My girlfriend is vegetarian and loves their veg-friendly options and I’m obsessed with their chicken tinga. Plus their outdoor seating area is perfect all year

This place was referred to us by my son's girlfriend, she hit it right on the head! Very laid back, good food (limited menu) and Great outdoor space! Order at the counter and then be served. (That was a little disheveled) but, overall, good experience. If I have anything they should improve, it would be the ordering process, and the food service. We were all served at different times, so some of us were done eating and others were just starting. Thankfully, their outdoor seating area provided relaxation and a good social area where you just could sit and talk.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Athens! I get their Al Pastor tacos and i am always STUFFED after. The food is super affordable and comes out super quick even when I go with a huge group (sometimes 10+ people). They even have a discount on their tacos on Tuesday and happy hour almost everyday! Definitely worth a visit and I will absolutely be back.

A welcome addition to the Mexican scene in Athens. Feels more upscale as compared to the other authentic places (which are typically food trucks/stands or inside grocery stores) and more authentic compared to the proper restaurants. Has a few items that are traditional Mexican food but not usually found at the standard Tex-mex type place. Tastes quite good. Among the tacos, I liked the tingas (chicken and jackfruit). The corn tortillas used for (all) the tacos tacos tasted nice. 4.25 stars rounded up to 5

Stopped by for a drink after seeing their menu, I’ve never had micheladas / cervezas preparadas made like this in the US, only in Mexico. Super good and refreshing. Tried a birria taco which was great but lacked salt. The corn / esquite didn’t have any flavor. Lots of like and salt did the trick. I’d be back to try other things and more miches if I’m ever in Athens again.

Highly Recommend! Cozy, cute & laid back authentic Mexican eatery with non complicated menu that lists general traditional Mexican food items. Traditional Michelada and Sangria alcoholic beverages are made to perfection. Plenty of parking nearby. Friendly staff!

I went here for the first time last week with some friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the quesabirria meal and a limon agua fresca. The agua fresca was delicious but the quesabirria was okay. There are other places in Athens with better Mexican/Latin American food in my opinion.
