My friends and I stopped by for lunch on Sunday and loved it! I've been to Taqueria Tsunami plenty of times because I grew up near the Marietta Square, but for my friends it was their first time being there. They enjoyed it :) The chicken enchilada bowl is one of my long-term favorites and it hit the spot again this weekend! I tried my friend's calamari and it tasted amazing, lots of flavor. And the cilantro lime crema that came with it was awesome. My other friend ordered a bowl as well but I am forgetting the name of it. I tried the steak from it and I thought it was good as well! The mocktail I ordered was good but could benefit from a stronger strawberry flavor. The hostess and our server were both very friendly and helpful, we were sat with no wait, and the location is great. The prices are incredible in my opinion. $12 for the chicken enchilada bowl that can easily be considered two meals - is a great deal in my book :) I'd happily come back when in Athens read more

First off.... It's 82* in the place. No a/c. I was with 4 grown ass adults and ole Joe asked who was paying for the tab after one drink order. I guess they are use to college kids not paying or skipping out on the tab. We ordered a few apps. Never got utensils, napkins etc. We aren't apes and eat with our hands. Maybe the one the other side of town is better. Not if ole Joe is working. read more

I can't believe we were able to get it and out during a Georgia homecoming game. When we first arrive we were told there would be a 30-45 minute wait, which was fine because it was Saturday,during game day and just about every restaurant was pack full. During our wait we were able to grab a drink at the bar with no problem and was seated in about 30 mins. read more

Still coming in at 4 stars for me. One of the tacos fell flat on the flavor but the other was really tasty! The guacamole was absolutely amazing but the chips were so thin they kept breaking and couldn't scoop anything with them. The queso that came with the tots was delicious. Tots tasted like tots, nothing crazy. Would still come back and keep trying new dishes. read more

Very mediocre Mexican fusion. In my opinion extremely overhyped. I got the south of the border bowl with chicken and steak. Steak was really nicely cooked and seasoned, but the chicken was dry. The rice was supposed to be Spanish rice but it seemed like it was white rice mixed with salsa. It was mushy and under seasoned. The queso was also lacking in salt in flavor, I would not come here for the food but on gameday it's one of the few options that doesn't have a line. read more

Food. The concept is good but flavors don't deliver. In Thai taco chicken is to big should shredded then the flavors will follow. The Asada taco Korean style the top part tasted wet and soggy with no flavor at all. The quest was was very thin and need more depth to it. It like the dropped in jalapeños were just dropped in there. The tater tots with jalapeño cheese again lack flavor. In fact if you made your own tater tots with cheese and jalapeños inside would be the bomb I am sorry I am a foodie and really wanted to like the food but didn't read more

I didn't eat these nachos, I had my spiritual awakening with them. The moment that first bite hit my tongue, I remembered all my past lives and every single one of them was craving these nachos. I didn't choose them. They chose me.Flavor? Illegal in at least seven countries. Crunch so elite it went through my spine and corrected my posture. The queso was light which was a test. They wanted to see if I was worthy. And I am. Can't speak on the vibes of the resturant or the staff because my entire being was locked onto the plate like a predator in the wild. To the person who created this dish- you don't cook and you aren't a chef. You are a higher being and I fear you. These nachos don't belong in a Yelp review. They belong in a museum. Or the Bible. read more

I was in the minority of our group who ate here. I didn't like the ultra-trendy and cold industrial vibe, nor did I think that our meals were a great value. Our server was so sweet and helpful and prompt. In fact, I think she and the kitchen were a little TOO prompt as our lunches were served in mere moments, making me wonder how much was pre-prepared or just zapped/kissed by a grill for heat. The 3 taco plus side meal is probably the best deal and gave us the opportunity to try a few different tacos, and we also had a grilled shrimp salad with avocado and corn that was just so-so. I love to eat out in Athens whenever I'm there, but I'm not sure that this place is a repeat for me. read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Salad shrimp with avocado. But I preferred 3 taco combo. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Good food, good service. We visited around lunchtime and were seated immediately. We ordered the avocado eggrolls for an appetizer. They served a sweet chili sauce with them, and it was amazing! My daughter had the asian nachos. She liked them, but the beef was scarce. I had the chicken chipotle taco, the shrimp tempora, and the rich man's taco. They all were delicious. I added the sweet chili sauce on them, and it, which made them even better. The meal came with tater tots and jalapeño queso. The queso is good with no spice. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full and that we got everything we needed. We definitely would return, great place!! read more

Chill, inexpensive and very satisfying Asian Mex fusion restaurant in downtown. Not fancy and really fun. I had the Quattro taco. Would recommend the Bulgogi taco anytime. The Thai chicken and pacific rim ie Tuna were also very good. Enough variety that I had difficulty choosing. The jalapeño margarita is excellent and wish I could have a few of them. Another restaurant that knows what it is - and isn't. read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Taco Quattro with jalapeño cilantro margarita - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

This is a pretty busy place due to the location and popularity, but a really nice place to stop by if you're looking for a place to eat while strolling in downtown Athens. I have been here at least 3 times on different occasions. Once with a friend, a date, and to watch the game, and it was great for all 3 occasions. I have gotten the South of the Border bowl the past 2 times and it's both filling and healthy which is fantastic! Since it's located in downtown Athens, parking can be a hassle depending on the day and time. During summers, parking is plenty, and ofc parking is free on weekends. read more

We enjoyed the tacos very much! We had a quick bite here before an event and the staff were accommodating and service was quick. We followed the servers recommendation for the Aloha taco, and enjoyed the other food we ordered including the Shanghai shrimp bowl. The chips were a bit flimsy for the weight of the queso which was tasty. The fried yucca was great! read more

I'm a big fan of Taqueria Tsunami. In my experience they've been consistent in quality, freshness & taste. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when I'm craving something dimensional like their Korean carnitas taco or want a staple like a salad or bowl. I usually do the quatro with rice & beans. I change up my tacos depending on my mood but my absolute fav has gotta be the Korean carnitas. I have had probably 80% of the tacos & they're all just as good. The only criticism of this location is the service is not very great. They're always friendly but it's slow & sometimes seems like you're forgotten. But with that being said I definitely still recommend trying it out! The food never disappoints & it's Athens, so you know you're already gonna be waiting at least a little bit PS I RECOMMEND getting the lettuce wrap instead of tortillas because they aren't authentic tortillas & the lettuce wrap keeps things lighter & doesn't mess with the flavor of the taco read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Top- Korean carnitas Middle- aloha taco- a little too much teriyaki on it this time Bottom- tempura shrimp - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Not bad. Can't expect too much from this place with take out. South of the border bowl is actually quite bland despite its name. Felt like all I got was rice with some herbs. And I paid for chicken to be added. It was dry, flavorless, huge chunks of chicken. Maybe they don't know how to cook chicken? Portion was not nearly as big as somewhere like chipotle. They did include a fortune cookie which was a nice touch! read more

Delicious!! I went in not expecting anything much, just wanted a bite to eat, and came out with a new favorite spot. The guac was outstanding and my tacos were so flavorful (Tofu taco & Garden taco). I love that you can mix and match tacos and aren't limited to 2 or 3 of the same kind. There's a handful of items on the menu that look appealing so I'll definitely be going back to try some new things. Highly recommend giving Taqueria Tsunami a try. It will hit the spot! read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Tofu Taco, Garden Taco, side Garbanzo Bean Salad. Guac & Chips. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Came for dinner on a Thursday night at 6 PM. There was no waiting and were seated immediately. We ordered the Tsunami Trio (Rich Man, Shrimp Tempura, and Cucumber salad) and The Quatro (Asada Zing, Shrimp Tempura, Pacific Rim, and Tots with jalapeno queso). I thought the shrimp tempura was the best of all of them, though the others were good too. The jalapeno queso was not really spicy at all. Food came out really quick and the presentation was good. Service was impeccable. It's no wonder this place has stood the test of time and is always popular. read more

What a great spot! We stopped here for lunch while at a conference at the Classic center. It was delicious. A great mix of latin and asian, with good flavors. Their guac and queso were very good. We had members of our party that are vegetarian and they said their food was very good too. We all had good drinks as well, would definitely return if in Athens again! read more

Good food. Interesting fusion between Asian and Mexican, but not so crazy that it won't appeal to most in your party. Quesadilla is especially good. Server was very polite- I don't see how she coups have done better. Only bummer is the atmosphere inside. Cement floors make it very loud and echoing - some of the food is served in "to go" style containers. read more

Oh my Goodness. If you're reading this review, just go ahead and start making your way to this restaurant. I have only praise for the phenomenal experience I had here, from the mouth watering food to the impeccable service, you cannot go wrong visiting this restaurant. Food Highlights: The tacos were SO DELICIOUS. The featured proteins were well marinated and nice and tender when I bit into them. And surprisingly, 3 tacos is a great amount to fill someone up. You won't be stuffed, but you will be satisfied. The tater tots and queso combination is one made in heaven. They were remarkably good. I don't know why someone else didn't think of it sooner! The churros were phenomenal. They delivered exactly what they needed to. Sweet, flavorful, and had a very satisfying crunch with each bite. Service: Our server was phenomenal! He checked in a ton, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we were taken care of despite the busy nature of the restaurant. They were truly a pro at their job. Caveats: Their beef empanada was good, going back, I'd opt for 2 more tacos instead those were much more to write home about. The s'mores eggrolls were the only thing I didn't enjoy. They just weren't good to me. And for the price, I would've rather ordered another order of churros. Overall: Please check this restaurant out if you have the chance! You won't regret it. read more

Stopped by for lunch during a stop in Athens on the 4th of July. This was one of the few places open on the holiday. The parking was not plentiful because of road construction yet luckily there was a free spot in short walking distance. We were seated quickly. The waitress was friendly and recommended the avocado egg rolls. Although, I was very hesitant, I ordered and to my delight, they were delicious. Now, I'm craving them (haha). The prices are very reasonable, with moderate portions. read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Tacos, Steak Bowl, Queso with Chips - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Taqueria Tsunami is a decent spot for laid-back Asian-Latin fusion, if you don't mind some spotty service and a college vibe. We stopped in for a margarita fix on a Saturday afternoon- she started with the skinny margarita, whereas I had the jalapeño-cilantro. While not exceptional, both hit the spot. The food was much better- we really enjoyed the queso and guacamole, and the Korean fried cauliflower was actually outstanding, and was a highlight of our meal. The service, although friendly, was iffy at best, with our server basically disappearing towards the end of our meal. Usually a no-no, but I understand what comes with dining at a college sports bar. All in all, this spot is nothing to write home about, but will deliver in a pinch. read more

Love love this restaurant! My first experience here was fantastic! The service was great. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive! The menu is pretty unique and lots of options for everyone. I got the chicken enchilada bowl and it was VERY tasty! Beans, shredded chicken, tortilla strips, rice, pico de gallo, etc! Just delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Taqueria Tsunami - Chicken enchilada bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Athens, Georgia

It hits the spot. Simple atmosphere with plenty of options for the whole family. The menu is creative and the staff/service is adequate.

It was ok. The service was very excellent, as were the appetizers - the empanadas and the cauliflower. I would skip the rice bowl. The rice was not well mixed, it was too sticky and did not have a lot of flavor. The rice was not hot and the steak was tough and not hot. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant after walking around downtown Athens on a Saturday night. The service was really good. Sydney G was very nice and helped us maneuver the unique menu items.

The food was delicious. My daughter and I enjoyed the different flavors of Asian and Mexican combined. The service was great as well. We'd definitely go back. The only thing we didn't like was the salsa for the chips - it was too watery and very bland. Everything else was great! read more

The place was very clean and the service was good. But the food wasn't good at all. I feel like the Latino/Asian fusion isn't really there since it can be super sweet or super plain. We ordered the chicken teriyaki taco and it was straight up sugar. The carne asada was the most decent. The rice and beans were very watery and didn't have any seasoning. And the Asian nachos were covered in BBQ sauce as well as the wonton chips being very soggy too. I couldn't really recommend this place to anyone except if you're looking to spend as little as possible. Coming from a latin background, a lot of the flavor is lacking. read more

Wow the chicken enchilada bowl was amazing! It would have been enough to share between two people as well. The only thing I wish it had was guacamole! I ordered Uber eats and they had a table inside and it was left out for pickup. My sister had the steak quesadilla and loved the tangy sauce. read more
