“ This place is fantastic. The food is incredible, the portion sizes are huge, and they have some of the hardest working servers I've seen. The place was packed, but the servers were still really responsive. There were servers literally running across the restaurant to make sure everyone was well attended to. We will certainly be back. ”
“ Not a fancy place, but the food is delicious! I tried combo number 8-One tamale, one huarache, one taco-all fantastic! Plus, I got a chile relleno on the side to try-excellent also. My son loved everything he ordered also. He ordered pupusas and a tinga chicken torta. We’ll be back! We’re rolling out the door because we’re stuffed and very satisfied. ”
“ Every time I eat here has been a great experience. I personally feel this is the best mexican restaurant in Athens. Their red salsa is amazing. I usually order chicken fajitas and they taste great. Only problem is to watch for cross-contaminaion. Sometimes I find shrimp in my chicken fajitas. ”
“ This place is great! Came for the first time years ago, and I tell you, I cannot get enough! All the food is fantastic and I feel like I always make a new friend each time I go too! Please stay open forever! And please keep your food and margs as good as they are ”
“ Wow... everything about this place was great! The second I walked in I was greeted by everyone. Super friendly atmosphere. And the SALSA!? Was so good I had to take some home with me. I saw a review before posting mine that this is the best Mexican restaurant in Athens, and I have to agree. Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in a very long time! ”
