Good food at a good price. Been and Athens staple since the ‘70s.
5 Stars for the food and it still being Taco Stand! However, it suffers from the modern blight of most other local Athens eateries... it's become an haven for rude pensioners and pseudo-Athens elitists... you know, the type who bring their own bottles of wine... to Taco Stand. Last visit, I was subjected to two post-wall "wymyn" who had a loud diatribe about "male privilege" so we all could hear. Then, they proceed to make obvious, snide comments about our talkative 12yo, again, so we could hear it. Please bring back 1995 Athens, when the Bohemians and burnouts and professionals and coeds all got along, because this modern, classist, post-woke Athens is unbearable.
Don't get the jumbo tofu taco softshell, it's a regular sized tiny tofu taco that costs $4, a total rip off, I was told that if I had gotten in hard shell it would have been bigger but since I order it soft shell it was an extra 60 cents and a regular sized taco, I feel jipped $6.80 for one tiny "jumbo" tofu taco softshell with a drink, jumbo for Chihuahuas so at the very least my spirit animal is full.. thanks!
Do not trust advertised open hours. I was there at 8:20 p,m, this evening -- more than an hour before the announced closing time -- and the usual cashier who was sitting at a table, eating, pointed at the neon "open" sign, which had been turned off, and waved me away.Maybe change the advertised closing time to "whenever we feel like it."
Food and service was great. You know good help is hard to find but the guys working here are awesome. Thanks
The Milledge Avenue location has been my favorite place to eat in Athens since 1986. Good food and good prices.

One of my favorite places to eat in Athens! I've been coming to this location for about 44 years!
if you know, you know. taco stand always hits the spot. i love the refried bean burritos and the beef tacos. and i drown everything in extra hot. i will never tire of this athens staple.
Love Taco Stands tacos. I normally go pick up tacos for my husband and myself every Tuesday night. I ordered 4 chicken tacos and 3 steak tacos. Got home only to discover that two of the fried chicken in a soft shelled we’re missing all the meat and toppings. It was 2 soft shelled tortilla wrapped with nothing inside. I reached out to a manager the next day. He told me I could come get 2 tacos now. I asked if I could have a credit for two tacos towards my next Tuesday order. His response was the offer was only good today. Just a little frustrated.
