This is a good place to go for a little different Mexican cuisine. They bring out three different salsas with their chips: the usual kind, a smoky flavor, and a tomatillo. Also, they have items you don't see on most Mexican restaurant menus. I got steak, onions, & jalapeños cooked in a ranchero sauce. It came with guacamole, refried beans, rice and tortillas. I'm not usually a big refried bean eater, but you could actually see pieces of the beans and they were seasoned well. I ate all of them. My husband chose something off the healthy menu and got a huge quesadilla on a whole wheat tortilla. It was very tasty and while the service was a little slower than most Mexican restaurants, we still didn't have to wait long at all.

This was how these fools sent out my Mom's lunch today!!! And the restaurant industry wonders why more of us choose to eat at home. This is utterly ridiculous

We make it a point to go to DePalma’s every time we get back to Athens! Each location has a slightly different menu. Everything I’ve had is great. Be sure to get the breadsticks—-Yum!

Tucked in the corner of a small strip mall, it should not be missed! Authentic Mexican food. Not the Americanized Mexican restaurants that are everywhere. With Covid,ordered food to go. Sat alone at the bar sipping a well made margarita....as I waited for them to freshly make ceviche. Ceviche was made with tilapia, thinly sliced red onions, pepper and lots of lime juice! Served with chips and a side of pico. The chicken soft shelled tacos were loaded with flavor.

I've dined with Aqua Linda a lot over the years. I think their Prince location is a bit better but both are very good. Excellent quality and consistency with food prep, presentation. For a while I thought another restaurant in Athens was THE top Mexican restaurant. I now think it is Aqua Linda. Better food, more organized and polite customer service. I had my credit card cloned twice immediately after dining at Aqua Linda Prince. Maybe pay cash just to be safe!

Great food, awesome salsas, really good service. We eat here 2 or 3 times a month, at least.

Really good food and friendly fun atmosphere and good music and service . They're open later and are definitely set up for social distancing try it

I ordered takeout several times, and the service was excellent. The pasta and pizza are very good. My favorite dish Past DePalma is delicious when eaten in the restaurant, but it didn't travel well. A nice selection of pizza. Definitely recommend this local business.
We ordered food at 700 PM on Cinco de Mayo with a promise of getting it at 830. It’s 900 and we still don’t have food. They obviously were not prepared. Won’t do this again!

The best Mexican restaurant in Athens!!! Such great service and delicious food. They're even handling the pandemic perfectly. Go support them and get takeout!

We were craving Mexican food, so we stopped by to get lunch. Our order was prepared quickly and brought to us in the parking lot. The food was fresh, hot, and packaged well.

Timothy Road location. We got our orders on the table and mine was wrong. When I asked the waiter about it he said I ordered wrong and walked off. He had not a care that I was dissatisfied. Tall blonde headed kid, I'd tell you his name of I remembered it. Never again will I choose this location. The other location on Price Avenue is always awesome. Not this place, stay away.

Came here for my friend's 21st birthday, and it was definitely a great experience for the both of us. The server recommended to my friend the Cubano sandwich and one of their alcoholic drinks they make (it was the color blue if I recall correctly). He enjoyed both greatly. They also sang happy birthday to him, and they even provide a free birthday dish that tasted pretty good. I chose to get the carne asada for $11.99 which got me a heaping amount of food which is shown in the pictures. It was more then enough to fill me up, and it tasted wonderfully. The only thing that probably could have been better is the salsa for the chips that you get before you get your main course. The salsa seemed really watery, but you also get a few salsas to try from. In all, I enjoyed this place. I had no problems with the food or service. The place was pretty empty when we went though, so that might have gotten us better service.
