One of the best meals we’ve had since moving to the area six years ago. Huge, fresh, amazingly flavorful and delicious breakfast burritos. We had beans, potatoes, eggs, and cheese, and to add to all of the goodness, I had steak, and my husband had chorizo. We are Texans, so we take Mexican food seriously, and this will be a go-to place (and meal) for us now! Super affordable, helpful and kind staff, and a great assortment of sodas and juices. Try the house-made salsa- so yummy! My husband ordered empanadas to go, and that made a lovely dinner for him since neither of us have been hungry since the gorgeous burrito experience!

A little "hole in the wall"-ish, but hey, some of the best food comes from places like that. The folks were very friendly and the two breakfast burritos I ordered were prepped quickly. Then there's the taste. I ordered 2 of their small steak, egg, and cheese burritos (wife had one). Tastewise, it was superb. Plus, portion-wise, it was hard to believe that was their small. The wife saved about half. I'd be highly interested in trying their other offerings. Will be back.

Excellent food. Limited menu. Very friendly staff. The nice lady who took our order doesn’t speak English well. So you may need to use google translate to communicate! But your efforts will be rewarded because the food is worth it.

The pork tamales had one piece of meat in it and they tasted like wet cornmeal wasn’t good at all.. wasn’t worth the money I spent for 4 tamales..

Great little spot in Athens for authentic Mexican food. Grabbed a tall glass bottle drink, 2 pork tamales, and small breakfast burrito for 13.00 and was in/out within 5 min on a Friday morning. Ordered the burrito ‘Mexican style’ per the menu and it was 10/10!Definitely coming back here for breakfast/lunch in the future!
