I feel like I am mirroring other reviews but it's true. Great food at a great price. The staff is friendly and the food is great! I have not had drinks yet but I'd imagine they are on par with the rest. I've been a few times. Tacos are great as well as other lunch specials. read more

Service: 5 stars; friendly... you order at the counter and then pick your seat. Food: 5 stars; I'm puerto rican and I totally give this restaurant a thumbs up. AMY down the road at entangled cat cafe recommended this place and it was a great recommendation! If you love cats and want to visit with some please GO THERE! price point: 3.5 stars; it's expensive... this isn't your typical combo 12 platter for $9.00 lol don't come here on a budget or BROKE! Cleanliness: 5 stars: came before dinner rush. Overall..... I would be back! Great service and food. read more

Decor isn't the fanciest but food and service makes up for it. I got the flan, grilled shrimp taco on corn tortillas, and chicken taco. I also got a variety of their salsas. Do not miss out on their phenomenal salsa bar! My favorites had to be the chili oil and thicker salsa (can't remember the name but almost tasted like a chili and peanut chutney). They accidentally gave me a flour instead of a corn tortilla but let me tell yall both their flour and corn tortillas were VERY HIGH QUALITY. The flan was also very nice and not too sweet with almost a cheesecake like texture. Hidden gem in Watkinsville! read more

A1 Birria is braised beef and is the specialty of the house. Order and pay at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Birria is very tasty but spicy and stringy. Ramen noodles in a tasty broth with a lot of birria meat. Came with 2 tacos stuffed with birria meat to dip into the broth. The place is noisy with customers yelling to be heard over loud Mexican music. If you want authentically spiced Mexican pot roast this is the place to pick some up to take home read more

-service is pretty quick and relatively friendly -Birria was cooked well -rice and beans were decent; wasn't too dry -fish was also cooked well; wasn't overcooked -chips were kind of stale and interior of restaurant smelled strongly of cleaning agent -I would skip shrimp/fish tacos--nothing special and the slaw isn't my favorite; too mayo forward -sopes toppings were fresh but the fried part was a little too oily -would come here again though for the quesabirria -wings were surprisingly really good! Normally prefer dry rub but the sauce was sweet and spicy--not dry whatsoever -gets extremely busy !! read more

We ended up here because of a search for food in athens on TikTok. This place came up and the food in the video looked so good and it claimed to be authentic so I couldn't wait to try it. When we first arrived we could tell the place was small but there is outside seating so that was a plus. You order at the register and pay then sit down. They have a salsa bar so that alone was a win first impression. Their health score was an 87-B but I didn't bother to look why.( big mistake) It went downhill from there. I was really excited about the aguas frescas because they are my favorite. I ordered the horchata one and on first sip it tasted bitter almost medicine like and I knew right away it had gone bad. I'm not sure how old that water was but it was no longer edible. I took it back and they took it to the kitchen. They guy inside the kitchen must of tried it because immediately after they took the whole container down and replaced it with a fresh batch. Needless to say I asked for a Jamaica one after that. Food came one plate at a time. Which if it's fresh then I don't mind. The tortillas on the pollo ala plancha plate were hand made with is great. Too bad the food itself was not. The rice had very little to no flavor. The chicken did not taste good. I ordered the hot lemon pepper chicken fries but the smothered the fries in buffalo sauce and it made them soggy and no lemon pepper flavor was present. (See picture) We also ordered the quesatacos with consomé and those were decent. Except the consomé was a little on the salty side. We didn't eat very much due to being annoyed the whole time by flies. They had quite a few flies in the restaurant and with the open salsa bar with no lids covering any of the salsas that's not a good thing. We asked for plates to go and left. The food we did eat made my mom sick within an hour of eating it. I still feel so bad for taking her there but I had no idea this would happen. The staff overall was pretty nice and can't blame them for bad food so we still tipped them. I can't say I would go back although I truly believe they probably had the right thing going at some point because they do have plenty of customers. read more

Nice small friendly clean casual Mexican restaurant with good food. Food:4/5 We enjoyed the Birria chimichanga (its largest tasty) as well as a yummy chicken fajita quesadilla. The guacamole was very good -nice and fresh and chunky. Portions are fine and they don't fill your plates with beans and rice, although you can order those and several other different sides. Their special is the Birria beef -cooked for 10 hours in 12 spices. There is a great condiment area with multiple salsas, extra onions and peppers, etc. Service 4:5 no table service, but the employees were pleasant and efficient. You order at the counter and they bring your food to a table. They do have carry-out and delivery. Ambiance:I'll give them 4/5 for their available outdoor dining but 3/5 for the indoor dining noise. Casual. Old building adapted and nicely decorated in Mexican decor with plenty of space between tables and booths. They also have an outdoor area with plastic sides to keep out rain as well as outdoor tables with umbrellas and a children's play area. Location: They are conveniently located 5/5 for Watkinsville but 3/5 for Athens. (It's a drive out of town on secondary roads).Nearby are other restaurants and the new large county library. Construction on many new apartment units may indicate that large restaurant crowds may be present in the future. * Our only complaint * was how NOISY it was . Not even half full for an early dinner time- but loud music caused everyone to talk loudly in order to have conversations. I don't know why restaurants think loud music helps digestion and sociability. read more

Good but not great. Wine 'margaritas' are lame. Plastic utensils suck and kill the earth. Birria is good, but more variety would be nice.

Words cannot describe how amazing the Birria Queso-tacos were at Kike's Kitchen! Hole in the wall style restaurant located on the inside of a gas station across from Ingles on the north side of Athens. This is my new go to in Athens! My coworker knows all the hole in the wall taco shops around town and told me about this new place. We decided to go and give it a shot for lunch. We devoured our tacos! The Birria Tacos were so crunchy and full of juices and flavors! They have a topping and sauce bar that was also stocked full of ingredients to add to your food! Great experience and great food! Check out the photos! read more

We have been here several times, their food is some of the best Mexican food we've had. Highly recommend. Staff is very friendly.

As much as I wanna keep this as my little secret i know I can't because this place deserves to be flooded with customers. The customer service was amazing and the food was even better. These were truly the best birria tacos I've ever had! The wings were crispy just like I like them and the sauce had such a great flavor. I also highly recommend getting the horchata or jamaica agua fresca both were absolutely delicious . read more

Overall the food was ok, the birria fries tasted pre-made and the the fajita taco salad was very soggy on the bottom. Fish tacos were good. Nice outdoor seating area. We ordered specialty drinks but never received them after checking in 15 minutes after receiving our food and waiting 15 more minutes with no explanation. Ended up asking for a refund for the drinks and leaving. read more

Had lunch there today. I had the Birria plata, she had Quesabirria Tacos. They were excellent. Plate included three tacos, rice and beans. I don't generally like Mexican rice, but this was very good. The tacos were very flavorful and filling. I took one home and she took most of two home. Will enjoy them tomorrow. We will definitely be going back. read more

Came here with my roommates to grab a quick bite and I had to leave a review since I checked yelp and there weren't many. The service was really fast and the food was great. The atmosphere is really nice too, with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a sauce bar. The birria tacos are definitely some of the best! All the food came out hot and was very flavorful! We also ordered the chimichangas, spring rolls, and flautas (not pictured). The food is a great value for the price since the portions are very filling. I would definitely return here! read more

We enjoyed good food and service, although it was so noisy because it was crowded, especially with children.

Great service and the food was phenomenal. Great prices too! Would recommend if you're looking for a lesser known spot in Athens.

We've been a couple of times now and love everything we've had! The Birria is so tender and delicious, and both the flour and corn tortilla options are super tasty. The Birria chimichanga is awesome, too! Our kids loved the crispy chicken fingers, fries, and cheese quesadilla. We especially love the salsa bar with fresh toppings and salsas. Great for lunch or dinner, dine-in and take-out! The family who runs it is really kind, friendly, and helpful! read more

The Food is Delicious, the quesabirria tacos are the bomb.com. The service is super welcoming! I loveeeee Kiké's Kitchen
