Went to it because it is the highest rated Mexican restaurant in Athens. Excellent food and margaritas. Very fair prices. Could be a bit hotter, but it's Georgia, not southern California. Good too that it had the Braves game on.

My wife and I have eaten at the Timothy Road location many times and have tried most of the menu. Haven't found a clunker yet; the fajitas-for-two are our favorite. The atmosphere is a mix of family and couples and the volume is conversational. The service is prompt with an understanding of the menu and the kitchen. We enjoy the... More

If you like good Mexican food, this is the best place in the area. Love their burritos with chorizo and their pitchers of margaritas. when our daughter visits from the southwest, she comes there to enjoy good food.

Authentic food, great service, reasonably priced. Can't seem to try any others, just to good to risk.

This restaurant is a fail safe place to go in Athens when you have a hankering for a satisfying meal with friendly service. Their standards are excellent, but you really should go beyond the taco, the burrito and the quesadilla, and try their specials. I just tried the pollo chipolte, and though it was spicy enough to make my nose... More

Lots of light foods on the menu that are more authentic than most Latin American restaurants in Athens. I enjoy lunch there, but have only eaten dinner there once when I had limited time during meetings.

The margaritas were solid, the food was fresh and hot and the service prompt. What more can you ask from your friendly neighborhood mexican place? It was quite tasty.

Their chips came to the table warm and the two choices of salsa were very good! We decided to order cheese dip but were very disappointed with it. The dip was very very watery and you could only get a very little bit on your chip or it dripped on the table. Usually when dip cools off, it is a... More

Generally, I am not a fan of Mexican food, but if I lived in Athens, I would make this place a regular stop. The service was great, they bring out 3 different types of salsa and my dish was one that I had never had before. When I asked, our server suggested the chipolte chicken. It was some yummy goodness..... More
