“We booked La Pa on wheels for our wedding and man they DID NOT disappoint. Taqueria La Parilla is mine and my husbands favorite Mexican place in Athens and it meant the world to us to have them cater our wedding. 10/10. Best service. Best food. Carlos was awesome and so communicative the whole year before our wedding!“

“Jessica was so helpful. I placed a DoorDash order and I couldn't add certain things to the order because that's DoorDash. Well I called Jessica and she made sure I had everything I needed. Thank you so much Jessica. We need more people like you in this world you're the best!“
“I don’t usually write reviews, but when I do, it’s because someone absolutely redefines the standard—and Scott did exactly that.
From the moment we walked in, Scott operated like he had a sixth sense for hospitality. It wasn’t just service, it was orchestration. Every detail—timing, recommendations, vibe—was dialed in with a level of precision that felt almost unfair to every other place I’ve been.
Need a recommendation? Scott already knows your taste better than you do. Glass getting low? Refilled before you even realize it. Questions? Answered with the confidence of someone who is the menu.
But what really sets Scott apart is the energy. Effortless, genuine, and somehow makes every table feel like the VIP section. You’re not just another customer—you’re the customer.
If this place ever wins awards, just know Scott is the reason why.
Give that man a raise, a promotion, and possibly his own holiday.
11/10. Not a typo.“

“My Husband and I just moved here and have tried 10+ Mexican restaurants in the Athens Area. We had no luck when finding a decent spot. We ended up trying Garfia's one night and was very impressed with the service and food quality. This is definitely our weekly spot!“

“We love this restaurant! We had a last minute get together for 10 friends, and they squeezed us in Valentine’s Day weekend. We had multiple rounds of drinks, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and we were only there an hour and a half. Everything tasted great and was hot/fresh. Austin was our server and he killed it! We loved management too. Would highly recommend.“

“I just want to share this with everyone who eats at this place. Yesterday me and My wife ordered our normal chicken tacos like we always get on Tuesday's. I noticed the salsa had a slightly different taste to it. So later that night I woke up around 3 am with chills sweating profusely all over. I've literally been sick all day from this food poisoning. My wife didnt eat no salsa and she was fine. I love this place and I've never had an issue until last night. So take it for what it's worth and be careful is all I can say.“

“Top notch food. Because my law office is right down the street also on Prince Avenue I go here maybe a little too often (if that is even possible). You can trust their blue plate to be top notch and unique. The standards that stay on the menu are great too. Have not been disappointed once. Visitors to Athens, make this a lunch or dinner stop for sure.“

“Visiting Athens and needed good food after checking into our hotel up the street, so glad we chose this place! Everything was so delicious and fresh - my favs were the chunky guacamole, fresh salsa, and quesabirria tacos. The quesabirria was out of this world, the meat was so tender. The fajitas and carnitas enchiladas were also super yummy, and the rice and beans were perfect. Everything also came out very quickly and our waitress (I didn’t catch her name forgive me!) was super kind and chatted with us about areas to check out during our stay. Will definitely visit this place again if we are back in town!“

“Excellent restaurant for students looking for something different. The burrito/bowl bar is well-stocked and delicious, and the food will not disappoint, especially under $12 for a burrito and chips. Great place for small groups but the seating isn't so extensive for larger parties.“

“The assistant manager working there was absolutely amazing !! She was so helpful with our group in giving recommendations on what to do in the area. They have a cute little outdoor area with mini golf and seating. The food wasn’t bad I got just the steak quesadilla nothing special about it. Everyone else really enjoyed their food! We went around 3 so no one else was there so the food was super quick.“

“I am a South Georgia girl who has been waiting for the Athens, GA location to open. Let me just say that the workers at the Athens location were AMAZING!! I was so excited to eat Surcheros again, but now I can’t wait for a chance to dine in with them! I am almost positive I was greeted by every person working and they all were so cheery and had smiles on their faces. This is definitely an environment I want to eat in and people I want to talk to! Already planning my next stop in and maybe I’ll get all of my northern friends to tag along so that I can show them how us South Georgia folk do it!😋“
