“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!“

3 Taco Lunch Special w Al Pastor

“Definitely recommend After hearing so many good things about this place, I decided to give it a try. I was disappointed to find out that they closed at 8:00 pm, but was pleasantly surprised when the owners offered to sell me roasted chicken, aguas fresa, and tortillas flour and corn even after closing hours. The owners were incredibly sweet and generous, and I ended up getting roasted chicken and corn tortillas. I can't wait to go back and try the full menu and experience the friendly and welcoming atmosphere again. The owners of this joint truly go above and beyond for their customers.“

“I have to say that Pamela (cashier at Taco Bell, in Athens, Texas) is the sweetest & most helpful, and friendly lady with a smile on her face, very rare & beautiful soul. You don't run into many people, like her in fast food restaurants in this day & age. I thank the Lord for crossing her path today. May God bless her, this Taco Bell & everyone in this crazy world.“
