Nice staff although sometimes a bit uninformed, food is wonderful! Good portion size, flavorful and the fajitas are real fajitas (not grilled chicken and then put on the flat iron like they do at another place I wont mention the name). read more

Service was excellent, burrito was so big I could only finish half of it. Chips and salsa very good and the margaritas delicious. All Mexican staff, attentive and polite. read more

See all

First time here -pleased with food and service. Definitely will return. Food 4/5 nice portions and food was well made. Chips and salsa on being seated -both were very good. Chips were fresh and the salsa allowed you to choose less or more spiciness/heat. We tried the Taco Tuesday taco -small and inexpensive but still good flavor. Also tried the quesadilla -large and with plentiful fillings. The 4 burritos were big and delicious also. The chef here definitely knows how to make tasty entrees. Food was prepared and served quickly. Service 5/5 Our server was extremely pleasant and efficient. He made sure the meal was enjoyed by all. Facility 4/5 the building is not new, but it is nicely remodeled after the previous restaurant Tables and booths are nicely spaced, not crowded together. The restaurant was not noisy even when fairly full of diners. There is adequate parking on the premises. Location 4/5 -located in an easy to find area near food and shopping buildings, off a main road and not far from downtown and the university. read more

Went back months later the food was great nothing was missing, enjoyed my meal, glad I have it another chance.

There are many mexican restaurants in Athens, and this one is one of the ones I live close to. My roommate comes here a lot to get chips, salsa, and queso with some sort of entree, so decided to come here with a friend. I saw that they had my usual order (al pastor tacos), and got that. They gave us our drinks and chips pretty quickly, and took our order when we were ready. They didn't rush us or anything, so that's a plus. Food didn't take too long either, but my tacos did come out later than the rest of the food we had ordered. I was surprised that they gave me the onions and cilantro on the side, but was fine with it since i'm not too big of a fan of onions. They also gave me some green salsa, which I have never had with my tacos (good addition though). Everything tasted good, and will definitely come back. There's also a lot of tables, so I don't think there will ever be a long wait if there ever is one. Overall, would highly recommend if you are ever craving mexican, or want to find a nice, local mexican restaurant to spend Taco Tuesday! read more

La Montaña Mexican Grill - al pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Georgia

this restaurant charges prices over what the menu shows! never seen anything like it. food is great but very shady business practices!

Been meaning to stop here for quite some time, since I heard they had pupusas. 3 were ordered in all, bean and cheese, mixed, and loroco and cheese. They were large, full of cheese and filling. We also got the queso and agua de tamarindo. Those were up to standards, but the pupusas exceeded! Looking forward to going back! We ate by the bar and service was prompt and courteous. The ambiance is great as well, very spacious and kept up well. read more

The service was great. The food was not for my taste. I definitely going back and get something different.

I Even bought La Montaña shirt. Employee told me if I wear it there on cinco de mayo I will get something free. read more

La Montaña Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Did not try their drinks, but they may be a redeeming factor. They did appear to have some specials throughout the week that could be worthwhile from a financial standpoint. The food was fine, but it's overpriced compared to several other Mexican restaurants in the general vicinity. Also, you need to really pay attention to the menu as it explicitly says that any refill on chips and salsa is $.50 per basket. This is the only Mexican place I have ever seen that actually does this, and it is the primary reason for them receiving two stars. I would give them 3 to 4 for the food and service which were fine, but I have a problem with the cost for additional chips. Again, I feel like it is unreasonable at a Mexican restaurant to expect your guests to pay extra for chips when it is standard at almost every other one in the vicinity. read more

This place is delicious, especially the quesadillas. The service is good and food came out extremely quick. The inside is not the cutest, but it isn't much different than any other mexican restaurant. 10/10 reccommend. read more

Nice, clean, great service and good food. Micheladas at the best in town. Margaritas are also good.

Service is fantastic, food is great, cost is more than reasonable. Everything you want in a restaurant that you eat at on the regular!

Mondays are Buy one small house margarita get one free Tuesday's hardshell tacos are 99 cents ground beef or shredded chicken Thursdays shots are 2 to 4 dollars on five different tequilas AND THEIR DESSERTS ARE BEYOND GOOD AND TASTY. read more

Service is very polite and prompt especially Oscar. but the kitchen is a real letdown. They use cheap meat that is tough and stringy. A salad was 90% shredded iceberg lettuce. A spinach quesadilla that was soaked in oil, had very little cheese. The selection of Mexican beers is very good. read more

Love this place. There are some pretty good Mexican restaurants in Athens, but this is my favorite. Prices are decent, and wait staff are attentive and very friendly. The food is always tasty and fresh. read more

Great food & super nice staff! Their margaritas are the best and they have great vegetarian options!
