“We stopped in while visiting Athens for the day. The place was recommended by my boyfriend’s coworker. There was nothing fancy about the dining area but the food was soooooo good! The homemade yellow queso was incredible as well as the salsa. We ordered gorditas and the chile rellenos and both were delicious!! 😋 A young man waited on us and they were very attentive and kind. The food was hot and fresh! We will be back for sure!“

“Good place, variety of dishes at an affordable price. I ordered a molcajete, they have bar service and live music. On weekends the service is good and the food is quality. I only thought that three tortillas for a molcajete were maybe five short. It would be better, visit this place to live your own experience“

“Every taco bell I go to is the same. Hit or miss on food quality or service. Today I made a mistake and ordered incorrectly on the app. The nice lady told me not to worry about it, wrote down the right order and I got it a couple minutes later. Nobody's stomach is meant to eat Taco bell consistently but if I could I would at the Athens location. I appreciate the quick fix on my lunch break!“
