Athena's Cantina & Food Truck Park

Delicious food and stellar service! Will be back!

I went with some friends on New Year’s Eve. The food was excellent, the owner warm and friendly. Ringing in the New Year while singing karaoke and eating exceptional food was just perfection. 🙂

Amazing food, atmosphere and drinks! The owner is awesome and welcoming and you can see how much pride they put into what they make from drinks to food! Highly recommend if have not tried. Even a great burger if not into burritos etc.

OMG. My tummy is so happy. Food is excellent and Athena is the perfect host. Chocolate martini is the bomb. We will be back.

Best Carnitas I’ve ever had and that’s coming from an Angelino who’s been eating carnitas his whole life. Get the Birria tacos. Also, Thais and Adam the owners were so so kind.

Driving off Route 295, we found Athena’s Cantina in Freeport, Maine, but our first impression was skepticism. The place was eerily empty, the menu looked limited, and we questioned our decision to stay. That hesitation vanished when we met the owner, Tais, whose infectious enthusiasm warmed us instantly. As we talked, we noticed the restaurant’s immaculate shine—every corner sparkled, reflecting the care poured into this family-run spot.

Then the food arrived, and it was a game-changer. The Latin fusion cuisine, weaving authentic Mexican, Brazilian, and Spanish flavors, was phenomenal. The enchiladas were divine, smothered in a rich, velvety mole sauce that balanced smoky depth with subtle sweetness, wrapping tender, perfectly seasoned meat. The quesadillas were a revelation—crisp, golden tortillas oozing with melted cheese and vibrant fillings, each bite bursting with freshness. The burrito bowl was a colorful masterpiece, layered with fragrant rice, fresh veggies, and succulent meats, all tied together with a zesty, house-made salsa that sang with love and authenticity. Every dish felt like a rare treasure, crafted with meticulous care and ingredients so fresh they seemed plucked from a garden moments before.

Athena’s Cantina turned our doubts into pure joy. This isn’t just food; it’s a culinary embrace, a fusion experience you won’t find often. For anyone craving authentic Latin flavors in Maine, this spot is unmissable. We’ll be back, and you should go too. Highly recommended!

For those looking for a wonderful spot to eat with a relaxing atmosphere reminiscent of being a relatives home. Then you need to come check out Athena’s Cantina. From amazing food to welcoming owners, you won’t find a better experience. That saying, “never judge a book by its cover,” certainly applies here. Not one to usually write a review, I can’t helped but feel compelled to write one, because it truly was a memorable experience

I’m always on the hunt for a taco, and let me tell you—this place NAILS IT. The steak is perfectly marinated, smoky, and tender.

It’s the kind of taco that makes you stop mid-bite and just appreciate life for a second. If you love carne asada, do yourself a favor and get here ASAP.

Five stars, no question.

Without a doubt, the best burrito I’ve had in Maine. The owners—an husband and wife team, are so lovely and the service is phenomenal. Carne asada was marinated to perfection and perfectly done. I requested a super hot sauce, and she made it for me on the spot. Wishing you both continued, well deserved success!

Where do I even begin describing this Freeport gem? Tais and Adam are the duo you never knew you needed. Kind, hardworking, professional, and the best part- amazing at what they do! Their catering options for events are also top notch, and were a massive hit at our holiday event; personal charcuterie boxes, hommade macarons, and margaritas to die for! We will definitely be using their services for all of our local events. You can tell that everything coming out of their kitchen is made with love. Stellar drinks, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere... what more can you ask for? I can't wait to try their new desert bar, Oasis, in the new year as well!
