If I could give this restaurant less than one star, I absolutely would. Came here for lunch on…read moreTuesday and walked into a nearly empty restaurant. That should've been our first clue. Sat next to the window. A server quickly came over and took our order which was appreciated. However, never brought our drinks. All we ordered was a soda and a blended margarita. There were only three other tables with people at them so you think drinks would come out first. I ended up having to flag down the second waitress to at least get my soda. The food finally came out, but we still had to remind our actual waitress about my husband's margarita. After the food came out, she brought a second soda, not noticing that I already had a soda. So our food finally came out and let me tell you what a disappointment. We'll start with my daughter's chicken. We got kids chicken strips and fries. The breading was severely undercooked and did not stay on the chicken at all. However, somehow the chicken was overcooked. The french fries were also undercooked. And when I say undercooked, I mean they were still basically solid potatoes in the middle. Then my husband's cheese enchilada. Came out with what look like nacho cheese on top. But, surprise! Not nacho cheese, fake American sliced cheese. Also, the tortilla for the enchilada was completely raw, which we could still taste through the terrible cheese on top. What we couldn't taste was any actual cheese in the "enchilada". Finally, my taco and street taco. I got a shredded chicken taco and Carne Asada street taco. The chicken in the chicken taco had so much gristle in it I could barely chew through it. Honestly, we didn't even try a street taco. Took one bite of the most overcooked chopped Carne Asada I've ever had in my life and decided not to even try it. Even outside of the food, our server obviously had no interest in being there. Anything we asked her about the menu she didn't know. And she and the only other server would constantly disappear into the back for extended periods of time. Additionally, she came up and asked the table behind us how they were, walked right past our table, and asked the other table on the other side of us how they were. Then proceeded to turn the other direction and walk straight to the kitchen without even looking over at our table. Lastly, the music was so loud you could barely even hear yourself. They had a stage which they use for something and standing speakers, which is their "sound system". However, it seems more to play music for the people in the back than the actual customers. Please don't waste your time or money on "good" Mexican food at this place. We ended up walking out.

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.
