Very satisfying range of food, and lovely service. Not only do they have a huge menu, but they can actually accommodate certain requests - for example, black beans weren't on the menu, but I was able to get them with my fajitas. Do yourself a favor and get an order of the cheese sauce to go with your complementary tortilla chips. Most of the seating is in commodious booths that are tall and that give privacy. However, the room can accommodate large parties as well at tables. read more

Was looking for a lunch Taco Tuesday spot and we decided to try Sr. Sol. I came here before years ago but this was my first time back. We came during lunch, so the taco Tuesday crowd wasn't at its peak yet so we were able to get seated right away. Meal comes with complimentary chips and salsa which we indulged in until we decided to place an order for queso. Chips were well salted and I enjoyed the queso and the salsa. Since we came during lunch we were able to order the lunch special. Don't let the size fool you, it was definitely very filling. The tacos were 10/10 and flavorful. We also ordered some drinks. I got the mango margarita and it was soooo good. The waiter let us know there wasn't much of a difference between the marg and the daiquiri, so just something to note. I loved the margarita though and the next time I come I'm definitely ordering a pitcher. So sweet but you couldn't definitely still tell it's alcohol which I enjoy. Overall, I'd definitely be coming back! read more

This is the worst Mexican food I've ever had! I just moved from California Ive been to Mexico several times. I order a tamale it came fried. Yes, Fried! Tamales are steamed and should be moist you can warm them up in the microwave. I know they are not usually made the same day but Sr Sol warmed the up in a Fryer! Maybe there a part of Mexico that they fry tamales, I sure don't want to go there.. I would be better off going to Taco Bell. Does anyone know of a good Mexican restaurant in Athens?? read more

Great food and the service is always wonderful. Such nice staff. My favorite Mexican food in Athens! The cold shrimp tostada is delicious and they have just added posole and it's fantastic! Strongly recommed. read more

Seemed like a cute, nice authentic restaurant and we've always heard the food was good so we decided to give it a shot. I innocently ordered the veggie burrito and this is what I received. Talk about appearance and literally nothing else on the plate? Not even some rice, beans, sour cream or even lettuce? I was pretty disappointed when this was all I received, usually you get more. However the burrito itself was pretty good. Nothing out of this world, but it got the job done and wasn't lacking in flavors. The prices were pretty standard and the servers were also alright. I would really like this place and would probably come here more often if the meals were a little better. But for now I don't see myself coming back here. read more

Great tortas and tacos. Service is great, location is convenient. Margaritas are very good.

Very disappointed tonight. Waiter was nice, but seemed to want to rush us out. No water refill. Had to get up to ask for more chips (dip was only 1/2 gone). To go order seriously messed up. read more

Absolutely love this place. The perfect comfort food, and the flavors are spectacular! The booths are so comfortable to relax with friends over a margarita, and the service is great. Always see other happy people eating when we're there too!! read more

We did not know what to expect when we drove up to this restaurant, but we walked in and we were greeted and seated right away. They had a nice menu with many items we had wanted to try. The food was amazing as you can see from the pictures. The chicken wings were in a mild sauce but it was still very spicy, so be aware of that. Mild still hot here.. We had the chunky guacamole and it was soooo good. They bring out the tortilla chips and salsa along with 2 sauces in a bottle, one avocado/green and the other is orangish red and Spicy!! Best Mexican food we've had in a long time. read more

Came in right after they opened on a Saturday for lunch. They seem to have a good handle on the virus and indoor dining. They brought some warm chips and good salsa to eat while we went through a rather extensive menu. My wife decided on the half order of the nachos fiesta and I got the steak burrito fajita with cheeses sauce. My wife loved her nachos covered with two cheeses, steak and a lot of vegetables. The half order is perfect for one diner. My burrito was stuffed with a lot of steak, onions, and peppers. I poured the salsa on top to make it more tasty. The server was quite attentive. We had a great lunch experience. read more

This is our second visit to Athens, and we chose to eat here again. The service is exceptional from the moment you walk in until you leave. The chips and salsa are fantastic, and our server was attentive. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great place to eat, with friendly people working in the Restaurant. One of Athens Georgia's Places to Eat Authentic Mexican Cuisine.

Omggggggg their food is so delicious!!! My mom recommended them to me so I had to try it out! Best decision ever! I could literally eat here 3-4x a week! No lie! Service is super quick! It's always peaceful whenever I go in to pick up my food! Thanks! read more

Much better tonight! Seated right away. I aster got our order right. Pollo Monterrey: really good! Chicken was not over cooked and dried out like cardboard (as has been in the past). It was moist and perfectly cooked! Great waiter! read more

Yaz was our server tonight. She gave us everything we needed and more! I could tell she was an awesome human, and i would recommend coming here just to see her! Also- the food was delish! Super fast service even during the rush. Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

Delicious food and great service. Margaritas are great and best sold as a pitcher. Great ambiance

We arrived at the restaurant at 7:25 PM, We were turned away because they were "closed". They close at 9:30PM. We took a Uber all the way here and was brought to defeat. read more

Sr sol is the best restaurant in Athens! Amazing wait staff, perfect margaritas, and impeccable queso. Best restaurant for a girls night out or any casual dinner with friends. read more

Once again a poor experience at Sr Sols. Tried multiple times to call an order in and each time was put on hold and the caller would not return to the phone. When we finally did get a hold of them. They couldn't hear us and hu g up. Finally placed the order on line and when we arrived they informed us that the online ordering is new none of the food was prepared as they need to verify the order with us. Thank God their food at least taste good oh boy read more

It's about what you would expect when you see the menu, however the thing that was most disappointing was we ordered a pitcher of margarita to go, and the cup in the picture was what we got. When the hostess could tell I was a bit confused, she immediately snapped back at me. I guess maybe they had been getting other pushback for the size of their "pitcher," so I get why she might've been aggravated, but a little empathy would've gone a long way. The whole experience definitely lost my business, and I suggest La Fiesta. They have AMAZING service. read more

Revisited this restaurant after 3 years. Wow. What a pleasant surprise! Service was spot on including not screwing up special order. Food was great! Fresh and hot. Made to order! Cheese was real Mexican cheese and not a Kraft single like I have gotten on my food at other Mexican restaurants nearby. I will definitely be back more regularly. Yum! read more

The empanadas were great. Al pastor and barbacoa were over the top. Best Michelada I've had out.

This is the quintessential local Tex-mex dining experience located in athens, Georgia. Sr. Sol serves as a reminder of home for many college students who are nostalgic for the memories that accompany the quaint mexican diner of their hometown. There is nothing more heartwarming than some mediocre tacos and margs to bring warmth to an athens summer. Tacos, margs, and gossip go together like nothing else. read more

Server was nice but told me they wouldn't make flour tortilla chips for nachos, pure laziness of the cooks. If you can't do this little thing to make the guests experience great you shouldn't claim to be a Mexican restaurant that has flour tortillas. Won't be back. read more

I love love love sr sol I am a regular customer and I can say every time I come here they NEVER disappoint they have very hard working staff that insure that you are well taken care of. Thank you sr sol for all your great work. read more

We were promptly greeted as we walked in. As soon as we were seated chips were brought to us with salsa and two sauces. Gerardo was our server and he was awesome. He kept our water glasses filled and checked back on us several times. He was knowledgeable about the menu when we asked him questions and gave great suggestions. I had the chicken Monterey and it was right up my alley: grilled chicken breast with zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and cheese sauce on top. Delicious. It came with rice and charro beans. My daughter ordered the chicken chipotle. We are pretty wimpy so we thought it was pretty spicy. If you are wimpy like we are you would probably be better off ordering something else. The flavor was really good though. I wouldn't hesitate to come back in the future. read more

The Food is Wonderful, The Service was excellent, The Ambience was very nice. My Husband and I love Sr Sol.

Me and my family had a horrible experience at this restaurant. The waiters are rude and clueless and the "managers" are even worse. We waited for about 30 minutes for our food. People who arrived 15-20 minutes after us received their food before us. We asked the waiter and he told us our food should be out soon and that there was an issue with the cook. We waited another 15 minutes or so and asked another worker again. We had a hungry 10 year old and a fussy infant we were all starving and completely done. He told my wife that he would ask someone and as soon as she turned around he gestured an "I don't care hand" he wasn't concerned at all and didn't care he didn't even try to speak to us. Another woman came up to us and asked us the issue with an attitude after we asked for the check and said " do you want the food or not" she was very rude. We payed for the one meal they gave my son which was being generous considering the service. Never coming back here again and we were the only black family there so this felt targeted that other white families got their food before us after arriving 15-20 minutes after us. read more

Visiting on a work trip and came across this place. They had Great food and great service, food was Hot and fresh the salsa is really good.

Good stuff! It may not blow you away but for reliability, customer service, and fast eats, it's hard to beat. read more

This is truly a hidden gem for our family. We came here for a swim meet for the weekend & found this place from online. We were afraid of the long wait when we saw how full the parking lot was - but to our surprise - we got seated right away, food was fast, delicious and service was great. Will come again. Last but not least - prices are super reasonable and affordable! read more

Ordered the veggie fajitas. The veggie mix was supposed to include zucchini There was very little zucchini in it and the spinach obviously came from a can. Who stir fries canned spinach??? Terrible. Will not eat here again. read more

By far the best Mexican place in Athens! The margaritas are amazing and very well priced. If you are looking to drive home be careful as these drinks can sneak up on you. The food is great. I love the cheese dip, but come on who doesn't love cheese dip at a Mexican restaurant?! I normally order the chicken fajita quesadilla and it is always good. The service at Sr Sol is always good and there normally is not a long wait time. Even on weekends when the restaurant is crowed the longest I have ever had to wait is 30 minutes. The quality of the food, service, and atmosphere is great for the prices you pay. Definitely give this place a try if you want good Mexican food in the Classic City! read more

The absolute worst Mexican food I have ever had! Carnitas tasted like they were freezer burned! Bisteck looked and tasted nasty!! At $12.99 special price for a pitcher of house margaritas, they must be making a killing because there wasn't even any cheap tequila in the pitcher. I would give it a minus one star if I could. What a waste of a night out!!!! read more

Best, most authentic Mexican tacos in Athens period. And the salsa Verde that comes as a complimentary snack as you are seated is mildly spicy, just a little kick with great flavor. I have not had any of the alcoholic beverages but next time i visit I'll try one. The only thing i dont like that probably should be here (maybe I'm missing it) are chimichangas. I don't know if they have them or not, but I've looked on the menu and I have not seen it.. In any case if you're in the mood for good Mexican cuisine try sr sol. read more

This place is horrible!!! We came in a party 04 and sit down there was a white couple That came in Right behind us they sat at a table behind us my sister and her friend was already seated call 10 minutes before my cousin and I got there let me go ahead and preference this we were A group of black people. We waited an additional seven minutes with no water no waiter nothing but a bowl of nachos that someone had brought to them earlier a waitress walked by and went to the couple behind us and I heard her take their order so I stopped her and asked her do they serve black people she said yes and that she was and I asked to speak to the manager she said she was the manager for her but she was not our waiter that he will be with us shortlyFive minutes later a young man went to the couple behind us and took whatever he had his hand to them then stop at our table to ask to take out order now mind you he will pass us to get to the couple behind us then came back the S to take out order we got the hell out of there I did see maybe 6 or 7 Black people spread it out in the restaurant I was so hungry when I first walked in but when I left owl I was so angry yes there was a nice crowd in there but we were in there too and what really offended me personally was Walk past us to serve a couple that arrived the same time my cousin and I did wow my sister and her friend were already seated inside. read more
