This place is AMAZING!! If you haven’t tried it, you need to. The staff was WONDERFUL and helpful!

Awesome food and drinks! Chips, salsa and cheese dip were great! I had the Blue Corn chicken Empanada's and black beans and rice... Blackberry On The Rocks was AWESOME. Our waitress was super welcoming & very attentive.... . I will definitely be a returning customer! Our family loved this place : )

The tacos were awesome! I had a fish taco with lime aioli and a chicken taco with grilled pineapple... Yum! And the blood orange margarita was super tasty! + My son loved the putting green outside.

Exceptional Service! We showed up with a large group spontaneously. They worked so hard to get everyone’s order as quickly as possible. The food was delivered very fast and was very tasty.I highly recommend visiting.

Delicious!!!! The staff was so welcoming and friendly (and fast!) even though we had a huge group! Recommend!!

Been coming here for years I've tried all their tacos they offer every single one of them is very good the mixed drinks are good the atmosphere is great never had a problem with the food will always come back

Great food and service. The birria tacos were amazing!!

Look I am definitely not one to leave a bad review for no reason at all, but this has got to be the worst food experience I have ever had. The food had absolutely no flavor at all. And I mean it’s sad when Taco Bell has more flavor than this place. The shrimp tacos tasted like they were going bad. The lady at the counter had to be one of the worst waitresses I have seen to this point. We asked for a drink refill and she tells me that I can come inside and get a drink refill if I would like, and this is after I gave her a $15 dollar tip. Anyways I don’t recommend this place to anyone period.

Had a delicious Bowl here Saturday. Long line equals good food most times and it's true here. Worth the wait. Will visit again when next in Athens.

I don't actually know if this is "hidden" but it really is a gem. My sister and I stopped here after we went kickboxing, and when I say this place is good, that is an understatement. I feel like since I had Covid last year, food has not been that exciting or tasty. It's like my sense of taste didn't come back 100%... Until I came here. The food was so fresh and delicious. It was the best meal I've had in a year, at least. I got the chorizo rice bowl with avocado, tomato etc. Everything was amazing, but the best part was the sauce that came with it. It was TO DIE FOR. 10/10, do yourself a favor and go here
