    Baby Buffalo Mama
    Wes B.

    As a former student at OU, Big Mama's was a staple part of my diet (normally around 1 am Thursday - Saturday nights). Since graduating over a decade ago, I have had Big Mama's sporadically if driving thru Athens. It had been about 6 years since stopping at the Athens establishment, and I must say it holds the test of time. I have always loved that Big Mama's has multiple sizes for their burritos and a variety of choices. I ordered the baby Buffalo Mama and it was awesome. They have some of the best buffalo sauce along with great fresh ingredients for vegetables. Is this the best burrito I have had? No. Is this authentic? No. Big Mamma's is a trip of nostalgia for those who went to Ohio University, they have great customer service, and is a great fusion burrito (must try Buffalo Mama/Breakfast mama/Chipotle Ranch is the fave of many).

    I miss Big Mamma's every single day! Considering driving from New York to Athens just for a buffalo mama ;)

    Vegetable Burrito

    I have another choice to get some mediocre Mexican shit in Athens, and it's Big Mamma's Burritos. It's of course best eaten after you can no longer make sound choices on your own. The food ingredients are not above cafeteria grade quality. It can be poor service. The food is cheap though, and you're not likely to care that much about the lack of taste, only the filling up of your stomach after all its contents have been projected. I have never eaten here sober so I won't be able to say anything about that. It's open until 3 which is later than most places, so it will likely be your only choice upon finishing up at every bar in Uptown. The inside of the restaurant is surprisingly clean even late for the night rush. It has a few stools by the window so you can see revelers stumble and trip. The burritos come in two sizes. A small is in the $3 range, and a regular is in the $5 range. The small is good if you don't want leftovers. The Mamma Grande is 2 pounds. It's packed with meat and vegetables. I like the Veggie Grande. This substitutes guacamole for the meat. It's like the other Mexican fast food where you order in the line. They are unique for their odd toppings. You can get cole slaw or potatoes in your burrito. It also has typical sides like chips but you can have hummus instead of guacamole or the salsa. All the burritos are fairly cheap. As for the taste it's not impressive. The burrito is bland, it tastes like canned everything, and they can look like a big mess. It can vary on service. The service at night can be really bad as the counter workers have a hard time with the hooligans. It's still really the only time you should eat this. The burritos are just too plain sober. I would stay away if you're sober. It's not good and really you're missing out on the fun. The best time is late at night because of the free entertainment provided by the winos.

    Mamma Grande Burrito

    Big Mamma's Burritos stood out from the other store fronts on the street. The logo was appealing and drew us to it. The inside was very minimal, but nice for a space so small. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The selection to choose from is pretty good - they even have a vegan option - and you can choose to build your own burrito. Small burritos were around $4.50 and regular were around $7.50. I had the Mamma Grande Burrito - protein (steak), tomato, rice, beans (I had them removed), cilantro, lime juice, lettuce, salsa, and maybe a couple other things I could be forgetting. It was pretty good, but it would've been great if it was hot. The food was more lukewarm by the time we got to eat it, and that is my single complaint. I also tried a bite of the steak & bacon burrito, and it was really good, too! I would love to go back and try something new. I totally recommend.

    To you also!' Everyone loved their orders!!

    When we needed you most, you did your best! LOL. The food is awesome and the beer selection is incredible. Thank you for the great service on a large take out order for our hungry crew.

    Honestly, I was very disappointed in the food from here. The one star of the show are the mini churro bites though!

    I am officially in love with this place. I came here with a friend last night and was impressed…read moreimmediately upon walking in. The vibes are perfect: Mexican but more modern, comfortable, and fun. I could tell everyone there was there cause they loved the food and the employees all had smiles on their faces. We were seated quickly and order the guac sampler to start our meals with our house margaritas. The house margs were great and automatically came with salt around the rim, which I loved. With the guac sampler, we got the black bean and ranchera salsa. I like the ranchera, but the real stars were the black bean salsa and their guac. The black bean salsa is not a traditional chunky black bean dip, it is smooth with many complex flavors. The guac also was very well balanced and the avocados were so fresh. Each of us was given our own chip baskets and went to town on these dips. For the main, my friend recommended me the Albany clucker quesadilla. That is a chicken quesadilla that comes with onions and bell peppers. The quesadillas are a good size, come out full of cheese and fillings, and are served with your choice of salsa. I tried the seasonal salsa, which was dark, smooth, and smokey. It went so well with the quesadilla! Both of us ate about half our meals and left feeling full, which plenty of food for another meal later. I will be coming back any time I come back to town. The vibes are good, the food is better, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other modern Mexican restaurants around. If you need a good spot for dinner or drinks, I highly recommend here. It makes me wish I lived closer.

    Casa Nueva still the best in Athens, OH! Celebrating 40 years of the freshest, homemade salsas,…read moreguacamole, burritos, enchiladas, tacos you will find in the Midwest using fresh, locally grown organic ingredients. Plus great bar where they use fresh squeezed juices for their margaritas, cocktails & have a great selection of craft beers, seltzers & ciders. My go to is Framboise Belgian raspberry beer. Today we enjoyed salsa verde enchilada with tofu, tofu tacos. & I enjoyed burrito with the veggies of the day mushrooms & cabbage with the seasonal salsa Roasted Tomato Roja. Great service too. Casa is a must visit!!!
