Purchased a breakfast “burrito “ which was not a burrito but more like a chorizo soft taco. Was not worth the price and hardly any meat. Will not go back

I usually don’t leave bad reviews, and I give chances because I'm a business owner myself and I understand everybody has there days.
But this is the 5th time we have spent our money with no apology for no sympathy for terrible service and food.
We used to love this place but it fell offf bad.
The barbacoa is always old/overcooked and dried out and on top on that all the grease isn’t drained before it’s out in the taco. I mean it literally was like beef jerky the last couple of times no exaggeration. Look for yourself.

When you pull up to a small business for the first time and are greeted with a smile, assistance figuring out what you want, and delicious clean tasting food... Its a Win for me! We live in Cumming, GA but when we return to Athens we will come back. And did I mention they serve breakfast and lunch all day 😋

Walked into the Watkinsville location on a Saturday around 11:30am with my gf. First time ever trying Tamez. Was stoked to see they had breakfast on the menu. I ordered brisket breakfast burrito. One of the chefs heard us saying it was our first time and brought out a sample of brisket. Brisket was bomb! I’ll be back fa sho.

Brisket was leather, not juicy or tender at all. Macaroni and cheese was laughable, looked like it was from a box. Potato salad was just fine. Customer service was rude and couldn't care less -- on their phone not paying attention while I was asking questions.
All of this for over $20 and I am not a return customer. Athens again struggles to cement a solid BBQ place like Fox Brothers. Go anywhere else.
It may not look like much, but don't be fooled. The brisket is amazing, and their homemade tortillas make for the best burritos.
Stop by for lunch. Had the brisket plate with Mac-n-cheese and chario beans. Great service and food was good. Price was great.

Watkinsville location. Had the brisket sandwich with cowboy beans. The brisket was moist but overly fatty, and could’ve used a bit more smoke and seasoning to really stand out. The sandwich was okay, but nothing memorable. Cowboy beans had a nice little kick, but the flavors didn’t quite come together. Menu needs some work as there not many good choices for plate combinations.
Not a bad spot if you’re nearby and craving BBQ, but probably not worth going out of your way for.

This place is truly a gem of Athens. Awesome horchata, delicious brisket, and the pricing was fair. Tortillas were great. Can’t wait to visit next time I’m in town.

We were not very impressed. The brisket, though tender & moist was bland. I noticed there was no smoke ring on the meat (BBQ 101). No smoke ring = no smoke taste. The portion sizes were fine, but a bit overpriced. Not much to the service - you order at the counter, pay and they bring you your food. They never checked on us ("how's everything tasting?" etc).
