There is loud club music in the inside but not loud enough that you can't hear each other. Service (5/5): It was odd that they delayed seating us while they contemplated the extra table in the middle. I thought it was fine to leave the table, but they relocated the table to make space for us which was nice. Other than that, the ordering was quick and food timing was good. Loitering guests were asked to finish up and leave. (Understandable with the limited space they had) Food (3/5): Elote corn (2/5): A very lackluster elote on a cob which had the cream and sprinkled tajin seasoning. I which there was something more to it. The little sticks were a nice touch to keep the hands clean. Steak a la Mexicana (3/5): Mediocre taste with a lightly marinated steak (not much flavor) and a bit tough chew. Comes with a side of plain black beans and Mexican rice. Chorizo quesadilla (5/5): The inside flavor and sauce had a wonderful taste. The tortilla is homemade and it was soft and delicious. The cream and cheese on top provided another flavor burst. A couple of slices of carrot as a garnish.

Hopefully your experience will be better than mine, because I'm definitely never going back to this place.

A few TVs inside to watch sports. Side of the restaurant has a full service bar and even a dart board! Not too loud on a Tuesday night. We were immediately seated for our party of 4 and about half of the establishment was filled in. Service (4/5): Our waiter took our orders with no courtesies and did not give us any water glasses until we asked for it. The order also came out wrong (singular taco flavors instead of the mix we ordered) which delayed half of our party's order by 10+ minutes) Guac (5/5): Tons of great flavor which went wonderfully with their freshly made in-house tortilla chips. Birria Tacos (5/5): Get ready for a messy bite because they are floppy tacos and hard to eat. However, they were very tasty. Consommé was rich and thick (which was great). The hot sauce was spicy but not too spicy. We added the hot sauce to our other plate of tacos. By order of preference for the tacos we chose: Mexican Sausage, Steak, Carnitas The toppings and flavorings were all on point!! Good size and meat portions. We can't wait to come back to try the rest!

Ok so I've been hesitant to write this review because I came here due to all the five star reviews…read morebut I don't agree. It's a cute little whole in the wall spot, nothing crazy. Yes the staff were all smiles which is great. We sat at the bar & ordered drinks while waiting for our third friend to join us. We absolutely hating them. We just ordered margs but it was awful. We waiting for our friend just to see if what he ordered would be any better. No, nope not at all. I didn't even try the food sadly & we were starving. It was a Saturday night so we definitely wanted to have more drinks with dinner. After that first round we paid, left to go somewhere else. This place I gather is more for beer lovers. You order a bucket of beer (una cubeta), eat your food & chill. Which is fine, but not what we were looking to do. This would be a place for example my uncles would like for sure, very low key. Anyways Enjoy!

Also like how they have little snacks on the side to purchase. We got the birria tacos, the birria fries, and jarritos. Birria tacos were just ok and the jarritors were warm so we had to ask for ice.

I ordered a Birria Taco ($4.75), Birria Tostada ($4.75), and Birria Fries ($10), and took my meal to go. The taco was filled with tender, flavorful meat, though I found myself missing the consommé -- a dip would've really enhanced the flavor. The tostada featured the same tender meat, topped with onions, queso, sour cream, and guacamole. I actually preferred this over the taco; the crispy shell held up nicely under all the toppings and wasn't greasy at all. The fries were also tasty, though I'd probably only order them again if I were dining in. By the time I got home, they had lost some of their crispiness. They came topped with the same tender beef, sour cream, and guacamole, though the meat here was a bit drier -- understandably, since juicy beef would've turned the fries soggy. There were a few other items on the menu (like the Mulitas, noodles, and esquites) that caught my eye, and I'll definitely be trying them on my next visit.

This fairly new, fast casual Mexican restaurant is also Halal. It's a great spot for a quick bite. The inside is cozy, with plenty of seating, and I liked the fun touch of having different brands of hot sauce stocked at each table. The setup is "build-your-own" style, similar to Chipotle. Here's what I tried: Brisket Birria Tacos $15: served with consome and came three in an order. It was filled with beef, cheese, onions, cilantro and a little bit of salsa. Hearty and tasted good. Not the best I've had but pretty solid dish. Southwest Egg Rolls $11: filled with chicken, black beans, corn, peppers and served with an avocado-ranch dipping sauce. This was just okay in my opinion. I think I would have preferred it be without the black beans in the filling. Churros $8: probably my favorite item from my order. Perfectly fried, golden and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, it's a solid spot for casual Mexican and would recommend the churros.

My husband and I popped in here on Sunday as I was in the mood for a quesadilla. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. As someone who grew up and spent most of my life in Texas, I have pretty high standards when it comes to Mexican food... The quesadilla was made with Oaxaca cheese, which is something that I usually enjoy, HOWEVER it was not fully heated... Meaning not only was it not hot in the center, but it also wasn't fully melted. Such a disappointment. We also ordered some chips and salsa, and I'm sad to say that the salsa was equally disappointing. It was very watery and had a sweet taste to it. I prefer my salsa to be chunky and a bit spicy,.. On the bright side, the chips were realllllly good! Thick, crispy and possibly made in-house. The service was also decent, so there's that. All in all, I don't plan to come here.

In a conceptually simple but paradigm-altering move, Athens Grill offers two sizes of tacos. I got…read morethree large ones and found this to be the right amount which means some of you will think that's too large. Carnitas was a good one and the vegetarian was decent thanks to guacamole, but the must-have is the al pastor. The pork feels like it spent some time on the spit and there's judicious use of pineapple. I admired it enough that I didn't even add red and green sauce. (I'll be a posting a photo but it just provides a general overview - the food lighting was too dark, and my camera isn't great unless it's a sunny outdoor shot between 2 hours before and 10 minutes after sunset. It's not good enough for Instagram, or in a glass half full moment you could say it's a Special Yelp Photo Exclusive).
