    I had the best experience. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. I enjoyed my hand crafted margarita too. It was my first time in Athens and this place was a great choice to have dinner at.

    On a whim I stopped here for lunch. It was really good. Thankfully I found parking right in front of the business. The food was great and the service was excellent. We'll go back again soon.

    Dined here about 6:30 on a Saturday evening. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful young lady. We both ordered tacos with chips and cheese dip. We also had a Blood orange Margarita, Corona Light, and sweet tea. Everything was delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and came out promptly. We will definitely return when back in town.

    The Director of Operations for Taco Mama greeted me as I entered the restaurant. He handed me a menu, and greeted me. I chose soft tacos filled with steak and shrimp. The shrimp and steak had been marinated and were absolutely delicious. The meal came with a side of chips and an enormous amount of guacamole. I felt like dancing. I was so happy! The staff at this restaurant is lovely, and enthusiastic just because you're there! I absolutely will return. Oh, my order was ready within seconds after I sat down.

    Nice place for a quick bite. Food was decent n margarita was cool~. A bit pricy compared to other taco places but a good addition to the neighborhood. Fun to hangout. Service was good until they pulled down the window without any warning and the terrace became so hot! Well, I was going to order another drink but left.

    Food is delicious I ordered Cancun!…read moreGrilled chicken, steak y shrimp w side of cactus y zucchini. Topped with a grilled jalapeño y onion! Several salsa's were available. It included a bowl of Chorizo Cheese dip y tortillas. The Mango Margarita was fabulous!!I opted for a taking a tajin rim. I will probably order one every time! Servers were attentive y gave excellent service. Overall great experience!!

    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.

    At first I was a tad annoyed at the cost, but hey...picking up a kid from UGA and we were splitting…read moreit - she's worth it. But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime. This is one of the best plates of nachos I have ever had, and I eat mexican a lot if you look at my reviews. I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

    I came to Paloma during a weekend trip to Athens. The outside area with the large screen and…read moremultiple games playing at once is a whole vibe. We ordered a pretty big spread of food including the dip trio, a few tacos, the brisket quesadilla, and some wings. The peach bourbon wings have a great flavor. I actually preferred those to the truffalo. The dip trio was great. The guac was very fresh and creamy. The queso had small chunks of peppers that I liked. I can see the appeal of this place for parents and students alike.
