26 Best Mexican Restaurants near Winterville

“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!“

“My son and I love this place!“

“Not 1, not 2, but 3 delicious salsas! Had a taco salad with chicken and it was the best I've ever had!!! Everything tasted fresh. I highly recommend!“

“If you want great Mexican food, you know the spot when you see it, and El Bajio is definitely serving up some amazing food. Staff is always great, food is consistently amazing, and the price is not bad at all. Highly recommend, 10/10, 5 Stars, Nobel Peace Prize, whatever, they deserve all the props!“

“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.“

“Excellent food!! Great atmosphere and friendly staff!! Highly recommended.... Always one of my choices whenever in Athens!“

“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.“

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!“

“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.“

“Excellent, healthy vegan options! Don’t know anywhere else to get such quality food that tastes so yummy through a drive through (quick too!)“

“Es mi restaurante favorito de comida Mexicana. Los chicos son unos caballeros y cocinan super delicioso! I love this place!!!“

“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.“

“Stopped by the other day with a couple friends and we had such a great meal. I would recommend them every time! Go by for Great food and Great service.“

“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!“

“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.“
