So I went up to the cashier to pay and I asked a guy in line and he said you just come to the cashier and pay without a check. No staff told me this and this was my first time at this restaurant. The food was ok but not that great. I had chicken quesadillas . Not much chicken on a large tortilla . Around 2 inches from the edge was nothing. I was very disappointed and since this was my first time , it will probably be my last time. There are many other good Mexican restaurants in Athens. Ps. The food looks nothing like the pictures they displayed.

My wife had the chile relleno with cheese, and I ordered the guisada de puerco. To start we were served a basket of real made-on-the-spot tostadas, fried corn tortilla quarters, not chips that came on a truck. The salsa verde that came with them was not spicy, but the small bowls of excellent soup served with onions, cilantro, and lime wedges were. Our main courses were flavorful, and based on my wife's comments I may have the chile relleno next time. She had corn tortillas and I had flour, and they were both prepared fresh. Both entrees came with rice and beans. The rice was unremarkable, but the beans were delicious--whole pintos, not mashed and refried in lard, topped with white cheese. The best I've ever had. Please, please, please patronize this place so it won't go out of business. The location is terrible-- it's behind and shares a parking lot with Rincon de los Mariscos Bar and Grill, and it has no sign out front. But the ladies who run it are very nice and are excellent cooks. Our meal for two came to $25 with tip. CASH ONLY.
