Drove out to Athens to check out Burrito Express after hearing good things, and it was definitely…read moreworth it. Right away the vibe felt right -- ESPN on the screens, good music, and you can tell it's a family-run spot that takes pride in what they do. The awards for best Mexican restaurant in Limestone County over the years definitely show. The salsa was fresh and really good, and I had seen a review about the quesadilla cheese pull... it lived up to it. Rice and beans were solid, and the cold Modelo in a chilled glass with fresh lime hit perfectly. Prices on the lunch menu are reasonable, which makes it an easy spot to come back to. Service was good overall. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to trying more next time.

We were seated in about 10 minutes, which is unheard of on a night like that. The service was next level; multiple servers worked together seamlessly, making sure every table was taken care of without missing a beat. The kitchen was firing on all cylinders, pushing out food fast despite being completely packed inside and out, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfect. They even had complimentary snacks to build your own street corn (hands down my favorite) and gave out Cinco de Mayo glasses, which was pretty cool. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, the food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. La Placita is the real deal. Locally owned and operated by genuinely great people, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you're looking for how a restaurant should run on its busiest day of the year, this is it.

Guacamole casera is a specialty at this restaurant. Chunks of avocado, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos with lime juice and salt. So delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed this appetizer. 5/5 Birria tacos are not on the menu. But they have the best in my humble opinion. Seasoned but not greasy and salty. They fill up the taco shells with lots of meat. The meat is tender, succulent, seasoned well, and plentiful. The consommé is delicious and not greasy or too salty. 5/5 Lunch chicken fajitas were steaming hot delivered with a plate of refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas were seasoned well, not too salty and absolutely delicious. 5/5 Michelada was on my mind. I haven't had one in a while. Their Michelada was made with Modelo and Clamato with tajin on the rim. Delicious!!! 5/5 If you like guacamole and birria tacos. Please stop by to check out the foods. They have great drinks and drink prices too. 5/5

We placed our to go orders in the bar as the restaurant was busy. We ordered chicken fajitas and chicken taco salad. The food in the to go containers was fresh and hot. I give three stars for the food. The reason for this two star review is because I watched the man at the front of the restaurant make a Michelada. He is the guy that cashes people out at the register, cleans tables and hands menus out. I didn't see any hand washing before the limes were squeezed into two large styrofoam cups. The first drink had a Bud Light instead of Mexican beer. The second cup had draft beer. He opened a new Clamato bottle so that portion of the drinks was fresh. Menus, cash and credit cards are germy. Odds are this type of behavior may be present at other restaurants. If I see this unsanitary practice, I am inclined to not want to order. It's different if I didn't see. I know we all take a chance when we go out to eat. Restaurants are supposed to follow health department guidelines. Their rating was a respectable 92. It could be an isolated instance and I will return to support this local business. 10-12 years ago the food was great.

We arrived at 2pm and there were 2 diners in the restaurant. We headed to the bar to get draft Negro Modelo beers. Hubs and I ate the chips and salsa while we looked at the menu. We decided to get chicken fajitas. Our food came with guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, lettuce, and we skipped rice asking for double pinto beans versus decried beans. The pinto beans are much better in my opinion. Their guacamole is the best of all the restaurants south of Governor's Drive. I have tried guacamole all over this town and theirs is great. We asked for corn tortillas to accompany our meal. They were steamed and very tasty. Our fajitas were good. I deducted a star because the fajitas did not come out screaming hot like most Mexican restaurants. They were warm but not hot as if they were cooked and held in the kitchen for 10 minutes. This restaurant is busy Friday and Saturday nights. They have a loyal clientele and good food. The guacamole is great and so is the salsa to me. It is not blazing hot and has fresh cilantro and diced onions. Yum. Their lunch menu is available until 5pm and is a deal. The prices are reasonable. Come early and have tasty food and a cold beer.
