This was our first time coming in. It is nice to see another Mexican restaurant in town…read more We were promptly greeted and seated as we walked in the door. Our server came right over and got our drink orders. And then we were given chips and two bowls of salsa. The salsa is not spicy at all but was thick and full of tomato flavor. It was tasty. I ordered the pollo con crema. Sliced chicken in a creamy cheese sauce. The sauce was thick and rich and the chicken was tender. The portion size was very large. My mother tried the Burrito Texano. It had chicken and shrimp in it (not sure if other meat too but I think there might have been steak in it) as well as green peppers. It was large. She said it was tasty. I had a medium sized frozen strawberry margarita. The flavor was very good but it definitely wasn't strong. But that works for me because I'm not a big drinker. My mother and sister had regular margaritas. They also said the flavor was great but definitely not a strong drink. We had a great experience. The prices were very reasonable. The place was very clean. Food came out fast and was delicious. We will be back.

We recently ate here for supper one evening during the week (Wednesday.) As we were seated we…read morenoticed a large menu. We simply went with Texas fajitas! It was quickly prepared and brought to the table. As it was delivered along with the toppings, rice and beans we began to notice the myriads of flys that were bombarding our plates! They were relentless. Landing constantly on our food. The fajitas were ok. The onions and peppers were cut quite small. And there were plenty on the plate. Our server never returned to the table to check on us. We asked another server for a container to take the leftover home. She said ok but never returned with the container. Finally the original server brought the container and the check. I wouldn't go back because of the flys and the service. The food was ok but could use a little finesse. The ambiance was nothing to really comment about. The staff could take some lessons on politeness and customer service. We don't live there so we will not return.

All were excellent and flavorful. The enchiladas had lettuce and avocado slices on top adding to the flavors. Refried beans and rice were standard. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.

An excellent little store and food counter in Lavonia!…read more They have the best tacos I've had in the area (and the al pastor tacos are as good as I've ever had). Bonus? Most of the tacos (with doubled soft corn shells) are only $1.50! My kids love the chicken quesadillas ($8). The green sauce that comes with it (in a container) is just the right flavor/spice (they also have limes with them and garnish with radishes... it works!). Another bonus? They sell the premixed al pastor by the pound (along with other meats). We bought a few pounds yesterday for taco night (on a Monday). It was excellent. The selection of tacos, burritos, etc. is really good (including guts and tongue; there's a photo of the menu here on Yelp). No fish, vegetarian, or vegan, though. The store has exactly the kinds of things you'd hope for. The last bonus? The service is friendly and efficient. I go there every Sunday. I've never seen it empty and it caters to all our local folks with joy. Keep it up Los Gomez and God bless you!

The food is the best that I have had as far as authentic Mexican food. Did I mention cheap? Tacos are only $1.50 each! This is cheaper than Taco Bell and this is actually real food! They have fresh cut meats like chicken,beef and pork. They have real pork skins that they fry up. Us southerners love those. They have a huge selection of Mexican goods to be a small Mexican store. If it's authentic that your looking for then definitely stop by here.

There are several reasons I will continue to come here. The high quality food is a big reason but…read moreit's much more than that. I got the mixed pupusa, chicken tamale, and al pastor taco. Best pupusa and tamale I have had in athens. The pupusa is so fresh and well seasoned. The tamale is soft and chicken is juicy. Also most tender al pastor I have ever had. Best salsas in athens as well. This place goes beyond good food. I had gotten off work and wanted some dinner. Mind you it was 9:30 (30 min till this place closed). I ordered over the phone and when I had parked I noticed that the bottom of my car scrapping. I picked my food up and causally mentioned to the guy working the front my situation. Without hesitation three employees come and help me out. I have never experienced such genuine hospitality. Every time I come here I am greeted just like family. Go here and I assure you the food and people will make it worth your while.

The REAL THING! When this place opened we soon realized it…read morewas not your average Mexican restaurant, oh it has the the bright vibrant colors, and at first the menu looks like any other restaurant, but you get a appetizer and it's a meal! All of the food is made when it is ordered, all fresh, the queso is fantastic! And it's made fresh. The guacamole is fresh, the EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS, I will make the longest review if I name everything that's delish. I order take out a lot from here and I don't always call in, they are so fast at getting my order to me. They also have Mexican Coca Cola (made with cane sugar, just like REAL coke was made before they messed with it). From 1 to 10, I would give the restaurant a 20+

We were promised that someone would come take our order, but nobody did. When a waitress appeared to take the order of a couple at the bar who showed up after us, I fussed about the lack of attention thereby getting a better reaction. Second the tacos we were served came in a CORN tortilla, which is not what we ordered. Overall a bad experience.
