Stopped by for a drink after seeing their menu, I’ve never had micheladas / cervezas preparadas made like this in the US, only in Mexico. Super good and refreshing. Tried a birria taco which was great but lacked salt. The corn / esquite didn’t have any flavor. Lots of like and salt did the trick. I’d be back to try other things and more miches if I’m ever in Athens again.

I regularly visit this place for their 2 taco tuesday. The best deal for the best tacos you can get in Athens. It is so worth it, you have to try this place! The chicken rings taco is my favorite!

A welcome addition to the Mexican scene in Athens. Feels more upscale as compared to the other authentic places (which are typically food trucks/stands or inside grocery stores) and more authentic compared to the proper restaurants. Has a few items that are traditional Mexican food but not usually found at the standard Tex-mex type place. Tastes quite good. Among the tacos, I liked the tingas (chicken and jackfruit). The corn tortillas used for (all) the tacos tacos tasted nice. 4.25 stars rounded up to 5

Highly Recommend! Cozy, cute & laid back authentic Mexican eatery with non complicated menu that lists general traditional Mexican food items. Traditional Michelada and Sangria alcoholic beverages are made to perfection. Plenty of parking nearby. Friendly staff!

My absolute favorite restaurant in Athens! I get their Al Pastor tacos and i am always STUFFED after. The food is super affordable and comes out super quick even when I go with a huge group (sometimes 10 people). They even have a discount on their tacos on Tuesday and happy hour almost everyday! Definitely worth a visit and I will absolutely be back.
