“The food and service are amazing! However, I detracted a star for the gang of flies that shows up if you decide to sit outside and enjoy your food. I realize there probably isn't much that can be done about that, but it really ruined the atmosphere for us. However, if you choose to dine inside, the atmosphere is absolutely 5 stars as well! Can't go wrong with Lucia's!“

“I have driven by here several times and wondered how it was.So I stopped in and had Sunday lunch on my way home from work.First off, service was good. I have no issues with my server. Apologize I can't remember his name.Drink and chips came out quickly. And order was taken promptly and food came out quickly and hot and just as ordered.I got the carnitas plate being as that generally tells me if most other things will be good.And while it was good, I have no complaints. It was just average.This is a common simple dish that should be easy to make, but when made right, is absolutely delicious!Unfortunately, I just thought it was average.My problem is I grew up in the southwest so I know what true Latin food CAN be!!!I am running into a recurring theme with the restaurants in the east and that is mediocrity!It's not just this restaurant. It's most restaurants in the east.You just seem to accept whatever they put in front of you and call it the "best ever"!!I have realized those words don't mean anything out here.I DO recommend the restaurant. I WILL try it again!I just have to continue to lower my standards when it comes to restaurants on the eastern half of the United States.Food was good (average) service was very good and I do recommend for a good reasonable meal!“

Birria

“Incredible food and even better ice cream! It is a little on the pricy side, and the service is very slow, but it's a great place to go with some friends to hang out before you get amazing food. Definitely recommend.Dietary restrictions: They have water-based ice cream for those with lactose intolerancy. It's good too!“

Oscar’s Taco Shop Mexican •
1260 US Hwy 72 E STE A, Athens

“What a great addition to our growing town! I've now been to Oscar's three times, and I am confident with my 5 star rating. I've had the beef taco, fish taco, beef burrito, and beef taco salad. My family has eaten the carne asada fries, steak street tacos, and house fries. All were excellent! The hot salsa is so delicious! The space is clean, well-lit, and comfortable. Everybody working there has been kind, helpful, and so quick! Very fresh, delicious, quick, and reasonably priced. I'll go again and again!“

“You found it this the most authentic mexican food you will find on hwy 72 in Athens AL. This restaurant started as a food truck then moved to this little shop, they do have another location same food on Hwy 31 in Athens across from the highschool. You have to try the little tacos your choice of meat on a corn tortilla, diced onions, cilantro, add hot sauce to your taste and you will slap your momma!!“

“Absolute, hands down the best Mexican Restaurant in Athens!! Mostly because of the cheese dip and their wonderful service. Everytime my husband and I eat here it's a joy and they even have game days ?. Literally the only thing I've found that I don't particularly like is the Horchata beverage it just doesn't taste like normal Horchata. Btw they also have APPLE PAY!! It's at the back desk.“

“I was hesitant about going at first because my wife had shown me some of the reviews but I’m so glad I did! Rarely do I leave reviews, but David at La Finka deserves recognition . Serving our party of 20 effortlessly, he's truly the best. The cheese dip was a hit, and every dish, a delight. Plus, the drinks? AMAZING. We'll be back for David's top-notch service and La Finka's delicious food!“

“The food is great, the portions are generous, and the service is spot on. Everything was great until we got the bill and the prices were inflated. We brought it to the server's attention.....and we note he is not the one who was doing the bills....and he took it back to the front. It came back less inflated, but still not correct. The lady at the counter who was doing the bills was not very nice about having to correct the bill and make it right, per the menu and special prices. We would have given five stars if not for the bill issues and negative disposition of the lady doing the bills.“
