I normally go to Madison location however due to the winter advisory door dash automatically directed me too Athens location (I realized AFTER my order was placed). The tres leches is bad. The angels plate wasn't really good overall I'm disappointed and I wasted my money. I will stick to the Madison location. read more

This place is literally a joke highway robbery for the prices you order a meal that cost $17 and they try to substitute it for a kids meal. That is actually the Pollo Feliz. They do this every time that we've come here and I am tired of it. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money for such poor quality and poor misrepresentation of what it should actually be read more

The best refried beans in town! We are from Texas, and of course the Mexican food so far in this area has not lived up to the standards that we are used to! This is a cute little restaurant and with great and friendly staff. read more

Mine and my husband's favorite Mexican place. Always consistently great. Pictured is the fiesta plate which is SO much food and so yummy. Has queso drizzled all over it and lots of rice hidden underneath. My husband always gets the angels plate which is also fantastic, lots of protein and queso drizzled. We didn't get drinks this time but the drinks are fantastic and strong. The margarona is a fun experience! Always great service. Our meals came out ten minutes after placing order. read more

We remember when there was only one Las Trojas, on Hwy 53. At the time, we considered it the best Mexican food in Huntsville. Now there are multiple outlets, and it has gone downhill in a big way. Yesterday at the Athens location was the deal-breaker. My wife's Chile Verde plate was just OK, but she had to ask for corn tortillas, which normally come with the meal. I ordered Piquin Tacos with steak, and specified corn tortillas (in Spanish, if that matters). A manager-type came to our table to confirm our orders, for some reason. Whatever. Now, piquin is a very small chile that packs a wallop, so I expected pretty spicy. Instead, I got three different tacos - seafood, steak, and chicken - on flour tortillas with some kind of mild pink salsa. The waiter said "be careful, the plate is hot" (it was not, at all, and the food was just warm). He plunked the plate down in front of me and some rice bounced off the plate into my lap. A quick "sorry" and he scurried off. The messy pile of rice was dry and tasted like sawdust. Oh, the charro beans were very good. Adios, Trojas, there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area that take pride in their product. read more

Slow service and I couldn't get a food menu or QR code. I just ordered three carnitas tacos. They were ok but fatty and it didn't come with salsa verde and were a little dry. Chips and salsa that came with the meal were hot and tasty. read more

The margaritas were sooo good! But I can't say much about their food. It wasn't really as good as I expected it to be but it was still fun because of the margaritas lol read more

First of all, service was very good. Nice, efficient, courteous. The margaritas were spectacular! Unfortunately the food was less than mediocre. There were 2 of us and we ordered combination plates. Both included a Chile Relleno which was nice, not great. The other items on our plates were interchangeable. My enchilada was an uncooked corn tortilla with some ground beef filling and, "enchilada sauce." NOPE! The taco was probably an Old El Paso crunchy corn tortilla with the same ground beef filling as my, "enchilada." My dining companion had a "burrito," NOPE, which was a flour tortilla filled with the same ground beef filling ONLY, along with what they call an enchilada and the decent chile rellano. The relief on beans and rice are not included. The decor was stereotypical but not offensive. We stop in Athens a couple times a year and this is the first time we tried this restaurant. Will not return. read more

***UPDATE*** 9-23-2014 - Finally found a decent dish here - try the steak tacos (soft shell not crunchy). So happy to find something with flavor here. First time in a half a dozen visits. Chips were warm but either the chips or the salsa tasted of cheese and it was salsa, not queso....hmmm. Elsa behind the bar is a delight. She has the best smile and makes the Hubs and me feel like family. So, that goes a long way. This Las Trajos is just like all other LTs, cute painted chairs and colorful interior. My guac salad was disappointing in that it had a flavorless center "aisle" of guac atop a bed of shredded iceburg lettuce. I expected the guac to be "the star" and it was a supporting act to the tomato slice, the iceburg and cojita (sp?) cheese. I didn't *get* the reason for having the shredded Mexican cheese on a guac salad, but maybe I am missing something. The side beef taco was BLAND, inside a stale shell. Soooo, I scraped the meat out and made my own "taco salad" by putting the meat on the guac salad and topped it all up with their salsa. They have a full bar (no alcohol sales in restaurants in Athens on Sundays, however), and have wine and beer. The bartender, Noel, was really nice and fun and the food is served quicker than you can "shake a stick at." So, if you want super-fast, under seasoned Mexican food, pop into LT, it's in the same strip mall as Publix in Athens. They have "live team trivia" on both Monday and Thursday, I believe and it is from 7-8 acccording to Noel. read more

This was one of the best Mexican meals I've EVER had. To start the people were so nice, polite and friendly. We had a party of 13 and our server was AMAZING. He took care of us and was on top of it. Fresh warm chips, good salsa and the queso was on point. Get a pitcher of margs... they brought us out 4 full glasses of margarita and a full pitcher. I had the fajitas and they may be the best ever. HUGE portions with a ton of flavor. The chicken, pork, shrimp, steak and chorizo was cooked to perfection. The entire meal plus a pitcher of margaritas was cheap. Great people, food and prices! I don't know if I'll ever be back to Athens Alabama, but if I am you can count on me stoping back by here for another great meal. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Alabama

Been here a few times but this is my first review for them. Very nice facility and themed restaurant. Staff is very friendly and very professional. Service is prompt and courteous. Extensive menu with a large selection. Servings are well presented, portions are very generous and they are very tasty. This last time I had the beef chimichanga and it was outstanding! Strongly recommend.... read more

I order a large cheese dip today and it was only filled to less than have the to go container.

The service is usually good. They used to be the best, but their food is not good any more.

The food is decent enough but the reason I'm giving only 2 stars is because of the $2.00 to go fee!! Who charges $2.00 for a to go order?? How do business owners look at themselves in the mirror everyday knowing that they are ripping people off with these fees!! I think that is ridiculous, and because of that, we no longer visit this restaurant. read more

Nothing wrong with the food or the atmosphere, it's a nice place with fair service. I'm not impressed, but lots of folks love the place. Give it a try at least once. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Alabama

Very expensive for what you get. Food is lacking. Took almost a hour to get food at 5:00 on a weeknight.

Bleh! I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is no point in eating "Mexican" food in Alabama. It's just disgusting and half the dishes on the menu I've never even heard of. We made the awful mistake of going here a week ago and the food was terrible. Salsa was ok not spicy of course because the bland people in this state don't like spicy food . The only downside is it had that damn spaghetti sauce taste. Apparently that's how they make salsa in this state by using spaghetti sauce. NEWS FLASH real Mexican salsa consists of fresh tomatoes, lime, onions, cilantro, onions, etc. No spaghetti sauce. Now that's out of the way I ordered 4 beef enchiladas that was topped with alleged ranchera sauce, cheese, and lettuce. I ate one enchilada and couldn't finish the rest. It was tha bland and gross. I saw no ranchera sauce, just a bunch of white shredded cheese and lettuce. The meat sauce had some sort of pizza taste or something. Heck my homemade enchiladas are more authentic and good. My fiance ordered some steak fajita dish that had bacon with it lol. Who the F makes fajitas with bacon? Only in Alabama lol. Definitely was a disappointment and a was for $30 bucks. Our stomachs weren't the same either and it gave us the you know what. The proper way to make enchiladas is you don't use white cheese as "Mexican" restaurants in Alabama do. You use the yellow shredded cheese or yellow velveeta cheese and you melt them. Atleast that's how we do it in Texas with what's called Tex Mex. Also if you don't have the real spicy green sauce then don't put it on your menu. The service also sucked. Waitress never came to check on us. I'll stick to Casa Mexicana or Fiesta Mexicana for decent "Mexican food" here. read more

My husband and I came in and was greeted with a very rude hostess. Apparently she was in a rush for something. She yelled at the girl, the one that brings you the chips and salsa when you're first seated, for some reason, then turned to us and proceeded to bring us to our table. She rushed away, threw our menus on the table and walked away. WTH?!?! Then we weren't seen by a waitress/ waiter for a bit. A waiter finally stopped by and checked on us, and so became our waiter for the night. Very nice and accommodated all our needs for dinner. If the hostess wasn't as awful to us as she was, I would've given five stars. read more

This is a great restaurant. Their salsa is good, chips are good and the food is good. I especially love their angel plate which is a huge burrito fried in a huge flour tortilla with chorizo spicy pork, grilled chicken, grilled steak, grilled shrimp with grilled onions. Then smothered in queso. Wow. Has a little of everything and is super tasty and just around $10. It's a full meal. The wait staff is informative, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is large restaurant that is clean and well decorated. Prices are good and won't break the bank. Good job guys, keep up the good work! read more

Our normal Mexican restaurant was closed so we decided to stop here. Food was mediocre at best. Took 3 tries for them to get my daughter's chicken taco correct (very simple just chicken and tortilla). Also no prices on the menu for the margaritas. Be prepared that a pitcher is $33 plus tax. That's double what we normally pay anywhere else. read more

I travel and usually look for Mexican food. I recommend this place with good service, food and accommodation.

Sat immediately on arrival despite arriving well into lunch hour for business lunch. Was able to order as soon as we were ready and food arrived promptly except for 1 of party. Never had to ask or wait on refills. Overall quantities seemed slightly larger that average. My Pollo and rice were seasoned just right. Salsa and chips were average but nothing special. Would definitely return when in area. read more

Thus was probably favorite mexican restaurant of all time. I Yelped a healthy restaurant and this was a choice. Restaurant is located beside Publix. I was very skeptical but they did not disappoint. I had Alondra Pollo without rice. Lots of food. Grilled chicken with onions and mushroom and grilled veggies. All had some seasoning in them that was fantastic. You can opt for cheese sauce. The atmosphere was very pleasant, clean and the server was very friendly. The restaurant had a cool vibe with beautiful lighting artwork. It was very busy for a Monday. I could tell the place was a locals favorite. I'll definitively be back. read more

This is a great place to drink, but not to eat. I've only sent a dish back twice in my life, once was here. But the margaritas are great.

We have been coming to this los trojas for a while now but tonight was the last night. We spent $70 on two dry tacos, a quesadilla, and two margs. We didn't receive silverware until we were done with our meal and we were not informed that the prices on the menu were incorrect until after we finished eating. ridiculous. the chips taste like cardboard and the margaritas taste like straight margarita mix. will not be returning. read more

We could not eat due to the numerous flies landing in our food and circling our heads. The manger did nothing but laugh and walk away. Maybe someone from the Health Department needs to try and have an overpriced meal with flies landing on the plate and food. Nasty and disgusting place. read more

Recommended by our hotel as best in city. From the crowd I would expect it to be the only one. First off the noise level was very challenging, high ceilings. The drinks, ordered top shelf margarita and I got to choose the tequila. Great except it was made with a sugary sweet mix. Squeezed some lime into it but was still on the sweet side. Dinner was chicken chimichangas, not bad. Beans weren't hot, table salsa bland. Overall at most 3 stars, on the pricey side for Mexican restaurant. Next time will go back to Casa Blanca restaurant, more to our liking read more

I love the food! I have never got anything that I didn't love!! Give me some shrimp and rice with a strawberry drink and I'm a happy camper!!! read more

The food is just eh. I asked if their aguas frescas were fresh and were told they are from a mix. Service today not so good. The carnitas are beyond dry. My tortillas are really dry and falling apart so I would like some flour ones instead but there is no one around to ask for some. read more

Needed to find our go to Mexican joint since moving to the area. This MIGHT be it since it's so close. Overall really so-so honestly. Chicken inside burrito was excellent, ground beef not so much. Chips were great, and salsa was moderately pleasing. Atmosphere was attractive with TVs all around. This meant that I could watch sports center while still holding table conversation. Wife liked her taco salad, and kids liked their kids meals. Funny thing is that my sons mac and cheese was what I really wanted to eat - spiral macaroni covered in white cheese. We will be back due to proximity, but eh I hope it was a somewhat off day. Also, previous reviewer was spot on with the over use of salt here. I was thirsty the rest of the day from lunch. read more

I am a huge fan of Mexican and I enjoy going to eat at Las Trojas, whether it's in Athens or Madison. So we decide to go eat Las Trojas in Athens last night, and while I was very excited about going, I wanted something on the healthier side (as healthy as I could possibly get with eating Mexican). I saw a review on here that someone had gotten Pollo Loco with steamed veggies instead of rice and beans, so I decided to try that. I was by no means disappointed. It was one of the best meals I have had while eating out in a while. It was the perfect amount of food and the vegetables were phenomenal. I did give some of my chicken to my husband, but I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and not overstuffed like I normally would when eating Mexican. I was very pleased with my whole experience including the amazing Pollo Loco with steamed vegetables. read more

Tonight was my first night being disappointed by this place. Food was good. Service was okay. Highly disappointed that I signed up for promos on their website on 1/10/19 for a Buy one Get one Half off A meal and they did not honor it because it expired 11/18/18. Didn't even realize it was expired until the server mentioned it. It's not the customs fault that you are still offering an expired coupon on YOUR OWN website. Server talked to the manager. Manager reviewed it and said no that they won't honor it. He even admitted that he's had several customers with the same coupon to come in over the last few weeks who also felt that it's wrong. To me it should have been honored because at this point it's basically click bait to get people to visit their site and being folks into the restaurant. Not happy and this is a serious issue. read more

This restaurant has gone downhill over time. We tried it one more time today. Went to wash my hands and the soap was out and the paper towel dispenser didn't work. Troubling considering I could only rinse my hands, more troubling that employees couldn't wash their hands either. This was probably my last try. The food isn't the worst, the service isn't the best and there are too many options to go here. read more

I went in for gift cards, and no one in the entire restaurant knew how to ring them up! I was spending over $100. After 40 minutes of waiting and trying to find someone that knew what they were doing, I was told that they just couldn't do it. WHAT?!? Pretty sad that a restaurant can't figure out how to ring up a gift card on the cash register. read more

Excellent food, huge menu. Ate with my dad and we both ate off the lunch menu. He had chicken fajitas, and I had beef real. Food was delicous, house salsa was nice and mild ( i don't like fire spicy ). We had an exceptionally friendly and courteous waiter ( Rey according to receipt ). We were just passing through on way back from Tennessee, and I had seen this place before when driving down 72. I am glad we stopped in, and ate very nice meal. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - Beef Real - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Alabama

We've enjoyed the food and atmosphere here until tonight. We both ordered our meals with no sour cream. They both came with and it smeared into other items on our plates. When our server asked if everything was good, we reiterated that we asked for no sour cream. She offered us a bowl to scrape it off, came back later and asked if it was good now. Understand that mistakes are made in busy kitchens. Fresh lettuce and pico would've sufficed, but it wasn't even offered. The main dish was excellent as usual, but we won't be back for quite some time. read more
