The Taco Stand in Athens probably doesn't need another review to keep business booming but I will give them a shout out anyway. This place has been a staple since as long as I can remember. Athens has seen for to keep this establishment open for decades and any trip will show why. Easy in and out parking lot. Friendly staff and great food. What more do you want? They have some indoor seats as well as a huge outside covered seating. It's hard to choose what to mention when it comes to the food so just start at the top and order something different each time? You won't be disappointed.

Great experience! I am new to Athens, and my boss suggested we have Taco Stand for dinner tonight. I ordered enchiladas, however they had ran out of the shells they use. The manager went to the grocery store to purchase the ingredients needed to prepare our delicious dinner! There were actually 4 of us eating here for the first time, and we were all impressed! I will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely love this place. I’m a bit of a older woman and I have been going to taco stand since I was in my teens. I have always enjoyed this place. I have great food. Great service and a awesome day outside. That’s very cool and calm to eat on. It’s a little more pricier than I remember, but what is it these days? I will always be back and I will always recommend this place absolutely positively succulent.

Meh at best. My baja burrito was soggy with black bean water. So I put it in a bowl to try to eat it, then discovered it was full of purple onions. That's on me for forgetting to say no onions. Then, there wasn't the slightest taste of cilantro at all. My bf's quesadilla didn't come with the chips (but whatever about chips really), and his was meh as well. I can honestly make better at home, so I guess I will from now on. Considering we paid $23 for 2 of us to eat lunch. Geez. Was hoping this hole in the wall type place would be a hit. Besides the parking and location being atrocious (they share asphalt with DD so BEWARE of gridlock), I do always see people there. We won't be back, but you should at least try it once. Don't take my word for it. Service was good. No issues there. Very nice staff.

Hungry as a dog? I know we were when we came here. Looking for a quick bite with fresh ingredients that will have you drooling? Trust us when we say that taco stand will fill you up with tasty meat inside a taco or even a burrito, no discrimination here. Friendly staff and terrific owners keeps us coming back again and again.

The folks seemed nice enough but they seem quite bored or just stoned. Now the food was bland! The meat had no seasoning or flavor. The steak might as well be rubber and the chicken almost tasted like boiled peanuts instead of of chicken. The salsa tasted can and the cheese dip has the after taste of spinach. 5 tacos, a large cheese dip with chips costed 30 bucks and definitely not worth it. There are much better places to eat!

We drive an hour out of our way a few times a month just to eat at this location, we have been going to the Taco Stand for 26 years now. They are that good. Parking is limited. Tacos are always full & burritos are Fat you definitely get your fill as well as the staff is always friendly. Tofu normally is on point and they are always generous with the cheese which makes everything better.

It’s really too bad the downtown flagship location closed. The nimrods that work at the Milledge location can’t make anything correct. This is a picture of a chicken salad that they neglected to put chicken on. Great job! You couldn’t even keep a job at McDonalds. Sober up and take some pride in your work or your location will be closed next.

Douglas has the best customer service and knows how to run a restaurant. Extremely impressed with the entire process. Great food, great vibes! Must come if you are in town
