    The bar area

    First off, let me say this...I love cheap tacos and margaritas. My friend and I were visiting the Athens area for a friend's wedding and were super hungry before heading out to get our hair done. There are tons of Mexican places within a 10 mile radius and we were craving them so we hopped on Yelp and found Los Reyes. It's located in a gas station, but don't let that turn you away! The staff was pretty friendly and were quick to serve us while we were pressed for time. Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms as well! They start you off with free chips & salsa (if you like spicy food, be sure to ask for their hot sauce...they bring three different house made sauces!). I ordered a lengua taco and a chorizo, but I think I got my friend's carne asada. Either way, they were pretty tasty for $1.99 a piece. The lengua was a little chewy but the flavor was good. My friend and I split a Texas pitcher of margaritas for $15.99 which was more than we could even finish! The prices here are phenomenal.

    So we went to Los Reyes last night because we had a hankering for Mexican food. I already know Los Reyes is my favorite in the area even though it's not the closest. I was surprised to find them very busy when we arrived, there's usually several guests but I've never seen it so packed. We got a table up front and sat side-by-side. The server showed up pretty quickly and was very friendly. She brought chips and salsa on the first trip and we ordered a small cheese dip. It came out pretty quickly and the cheese was creamy and really good. You can tell the tortilla chips are made in house because they are not uniform and well. I just think they're made in house. Server brought our menus and our cheese dip and we looked it over to see what we wanted. I already knew what I wanted; I get the same thing every time I come here. There are plenty of things to try, but I like the chiles Riano so much and I always get that. I usually get just the cheese inside of the poblamo peppers and with refried beans and rice. Everything is really good, just perfect and like I said I get the same thing every time. This time I ordered chicken, one chicken and one steak on the peppers. I have tried to chicken before, but I had never had the steak. My husband ordered some kind of chicken something I don't remember what it was but he really liked it. He said it was the best beans he had ever had. I have to say the chicken is excellent excellent. It's tender and it has a wonderful chargrilled flavor, which I did not expect. The steak was the same. The char grilled flavor was just so unexpected and so so good. The pepper was tender but not soft and cooked just right. There was plenty of cheese inside too and plus the cheese sauce on the top. The rice and beans were excellent as always and I enjoyed my meal very much. If you're craving Mexican and want some really good food head up Highway 29 out of Athens, Georgia and stop at Los Reyes. It is on the right not far past the highway patrol station. Don't speed through there because... you know ..,the highway patrol station.

    They never miss! I love this place! Came by here while running errands and had me this drink. It was perfect and you could barely taste the alcohol yet it had you feeling great! The lady was really sweet that waited on me. Tacos are always seasoned to perfection.

    Delicious Steak Fajitas!

From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place is a local favorite. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the menu offers a great selection of traditional Mexican dishes, along with a few Salvadoran influences that make it even more unique. One of the highlights of the evening was meeting the owner, Antonio Ramirez. Throughout the meal, he made his way around the restaurant, stopping at each table with a smile to ask how everything was and to make sure guests were enjoying themselves. That level of personal attention is becoming increasingly rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares about both the food and the customer experience. It's also obvious that the local college crowd has discovered this gem. There were plenty of students enjoying dinner, and it seemed like the margaritas were especially popular--particularly when Mom and Dad were picking up the tab! Fortunately, the margaritas are well worth it, with generous pours and plenty of options to choose from. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Most importantly, the flavors felt authentic and homemade rather than the typical chain restaurant version of Mexican food.

It's counter service--you order at the register, find a seat (there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating), and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the fish taco combo, which came with two fish tacos, yuca fries, and a canned drink. The tacos were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the menu changes. Everything is a combo now, and I was told I couldn't order the tacos by themselves. I wish they'd bring back the à la carte option because I'd rather try a few different things than be locked into one meal. The yuca fry portion was also smaller than I expected--I only got about five fries. Overall, it's still a spot I'd recommend if you're visiting Athens since it's been a local favorite for so long. I just left a little less impressed than I remember being the last time I was here.

The chorizo cheese dip had a little spice to it on the back end. It was a little too watery but with a good mix up it got better. The portion size ( got the small) was a bit disappointing. I chose the Texas fajitas. The meats ( chic steak and shrimp ) were seasoned and tender. The shrimp was just 4 pieces. Again the portion size. Under the proteins were the seasoned onions. I elected not to get bell peppers. The juice that formed with the onions was very good. They provide rice and refried beans on the side as well as lettuce and chopped tomatoes. The portion of rice beans and the melted cheese was small. They only give you three tortillas and I feel it should be 4. You have to think about the " stuff " to tortilla ratio. They give you a big bag of plain nacho chips. Plain. Not salted. We also got an order of the flan. Kind of small but good taste. The whipped cream and chocolate sauce was in a little plastic ramican the size of a papa John sauce so again one bite and you have used it up and the flan to whipped cream " ratio" is not there. I would definitely try them again for a meal on premises to get the sizzle and presentation. Once I do I will update the score if it is necessary.
