    I had the best experience. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. I enjoyed my hand crafted margarita too. It was my first time in Athens and this place was a great choice to have dinner at.

    On a whim I stopped here for lunch. It was really good. Thankfully I found parking right in front of the business. The food was great and the service was excellent. We'll go back again soon.

    Dined here about 6:30 on a Saturday evening. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful young lady. We both ordered tacos with chips and cheese dip. We also had a Blood orange Margarita, Corona Light, and sweet tea. Everything was delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and came out promptly. We will definitely return when back in town.

    The Director of Operations for Taco Mama greeted me as I entered the restaurant. He handed me a menu, and greeted me. I chose soft tacos filled with steak and shrimp. The shrimp and steak had been marinated and were absolutely delicious. The meal came with a side of chips and an enormous amount of guacamole. I felt like dancing. I was so happy! The staff at this restaurant is lovely, and enthusiastic just because you're there! I absolutely will return. Oh, my order was ready within seconds after I sat down.

    Nice place for a quick bite. Food was decent n margarita was cool~. A bit pricy compared to other taco places but a good addition to the neighborhood. Fun to hangout. Service was good until they pulled down the window without any warning and the terrace became so hot! Well, I was going to order another drink but left.

    I finally tried this place and it absolutely lives up to the hype. This place is the real deal when…read moreit comes to authentic Mexican food. There's almost always a line, but don't let that scare you--it moves quickly and is 100% worth the wait. The burritos are massive and hands down some of the best I've ever had. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you're looking for authentic, no-frills, incredible Mexican food, this spot is a must-try.

    This place is dangerously delicious! The prices are amazing for the amount of food you get, and…read morehonestly, me and my husband go here more than we probably should. Their carne asada tacos, intestina tacos, and barbacoa tacos are all absolutely delicious. The tortas are huge, flavorful, and definitely sharable if you're not a big eater. And don't even get me started on the horchata -- it's to die for. The ambiance is amazing if you choose to dine in -- super welcoming, clean, and comfortable. And the staff? So sweet, kind, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. It really makes the whole experience even better. I also love that they pack their salsas separately, which is such a huge convenience. I would LOVE to know if they sell their salsas by the container because they're that good. If you're looking for an amazing taco spot after a night out, this is the place to go. The only "bad" part? Just like Chick-fil-A, they're closed on Sundays! They also have a massive menu and even sell menudo. It's a great family restaurant, and it does get packed, so I highly recommend ordering pickup. 10/10 -- you won't regret it!

    At first I was a tad annoyed at the cost, but hey...picking up a kid from UGA and we were splitting…read moreit - she's worth it. But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime. This is one of the best plates of nachos I have ever had, and I eat mexican a lot if you look at my reviews. I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

We ordered a pretty big spread of food including the dip trio, a few tacos, the brisket quesadilla, and some wings. The peach bourbon wings have a great flavor. I actually preferred those to the truffalo. The dip trio was great. The guac was very fresh and creamy. The queso had small chunks of peppers that I liked. I can see the appeal of this place for parents and students alike.
