Ate lunch here yesterday and will be back soon I'm sure. The food was delicious and well portioned. The menu items allow you to choose your toppings, protein and salsa and most entrees come with a side and chips. I got the shredded chicken and steak tacos and a side of chorizo refried beans. The ingredients were fresh, the salsas had the perfect amount of spice. The staff were so sweet and let us take our time ordering. The steak was well seasoned and had a great char on it but was not the diced carne asada I was expecting. The restaurant was clean and I like that during cooler days like yesterday they open the restaurant to the outside so there's a nice breeze and vibe. read more

So refreshing!! Whatever they're doing to get all of their employees to care as much as they do, I hope it never changes. Everyone is genuinely happy to help and they're always making sure you're taken care of. The food is super fresh and yummy and comes out fast. Margaritas are also exceptional and made with fresh ingredients...no syrupy mix. Great patio seating as well with fun jams and a barrier between you and the sidewalk (a must downtown). Genuine quality experience that I would say is uncharacteristic of your average taco stop downtown. read more

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The Happy Family deal is an awesome option for feeding a group -- plenty of food and a really good value. The tacos, queso, and toppings were all delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've heard mixed reviews about this place and now that I finally had the chance to try it, I definitely prefer other tex-mex restaurants. Prices are slightly high here, like for a bowl is sound $17 with tax, and if you get a margarita with it then it goes up to like $32. They do have a variety of menu items, and most do come with chips and salsa. Their margaritas are pretty good too, and a pitcher is $28 so not a bad deal. I would just come here if my friends wanted to go again, but otherwise I can get better, flavorful tex-mex somewhere else. read more

decent vibes, great portion sizes, flavors on point as well, only a four star due to its... devastating lingering effects. (stay far away from the grilled jalapeños i don't think a single seed was removed or maybe i just ate them without a pure heart). I do recommend tho. read more

We couldn't find a place to sit down for dinner in Athens before a concert, so we popped into this place There was a bit of confusion when we were ordering drinks, but other than that this was a great experience! It's a pretty traditional model of Mexican-inspired-dishes-served-over-or-inside-carbohydrates, but it works. The staff were helpful and friendly and the four of us enjoyed the dinner out in the area. read more

Everyone's favorite. Best staff. Best drinks. Best vibes. If you don't believe in God, you haven't ordered the Jorges nachos with everything on them. Come here once a week and don't see that changing as long as I live in Athens read more

Kat and Elise were some of the best and most amazing people to interact with. Props to management for hiring these people. They were knowledgeable about every item on the menu and their vibe was the perfect touch! Taxes in athens should go towards paying their raise! 4803980699 would love to explain more to the owner. They went above and beyond and it was beyond explanation! Also Kas and Felipe! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I got the big client burrito meal with the salsa sauce on the side! I was worried it might have a bit of spice as I'm a weakling when it comes to anything spicy! I also ordered cilantro lime rice as my side. The rice was probably the worst thing as it just tasted like regular rice so it wasn't bad just not tasting what they called it. The burrito was giant, and I'm a big dude! It was so delicious. My own recommendation would be to lessen the refried beans and sprinkle some rice in!!! But I was more than happy with the burrito the way it was! It filled me up completely! The meat was so tender!! I'd gladly eat here over barbaritos and day of the week! read more

Very good I do recommend the food was #bomb and so very good. Get the judge burrito, I tore it up

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. read more

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. read more

This restaurant is amazing. Their food is so simple yet filled with complex flavors. The staff is super nice and was very kind in wishing my wife a happy birthday. The atmosphere is incredible and super lively. Bathrooms are extremely clean. I could not recommend this business enough! Get the flounder!! read more

Had lunch here today and it was awesome. We were actually headed somewhere else and Taco Momma was so inviting we decided to go in. Super nice friendly staff. Delicious drinks. Fantastic atmosphere. Great chips, salsa, queso, and guacamole. I got a burrito and the flavor was super good. My only critique was the burrito was a little too squishy. I'd suggest grilling the outside of the tortilla and lighten up on the refried beans. I'll be back! read more

Had a guy named Nick greet us with menus. His enthusiasm and passion reflected Taco Mama's values. 10/10 can't wait for Taco Tuesday!!! P.S. Nachos are awesome! read more

cute atmosphere and vibe! perfect for college students grabbing a quick bite! would definitely go back!

The food here is awesome, so much better than chipotle or barberritos! They have lots of protein options and there's no upcharge to add any toppings to your order. Most things also come with a side and chips. The employees are super nice and helpful and the restaurant is clean and cozy. Will def be back! read more

Vibe is cool, drinks are fine. Service is good. Food quality is tolerable. If you're a sorority chick you will fall in love with this place. If you're a dude looking to consume a decent meal go anywhere else. Opened my burrito to find 8ish tiny pieces of steak (being generous). I understand I'm not going to get an absurd amount of protein but this place is a rip off. read more

Taco Mama is a solid lunch spot. The perfectly crispy chips (made fresh in-house) and guac were the highlight. I would get the hard shell tacos again. The veggie burrito was dramatically under-seasoned, and the tofu was equally plain. Unfortunately, the "street corn" was inedibly chewy. The servers are really friendly, and they have a big patio in addition to lots of seating inside. They were playing some pretty good rock music when I ate there. The decor is casual. read more

Fast and friendly service. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean with ample seating. Steak was very tender. The tacos are stuffed full. Chips are nice and thin, salsa is delicious.Next time I will probably order something smaller. I couldn't finish this. Only reason I chose 4 stars was the price. $20 for lunch is a little high for me. read more

The food is great! The portions are huge so just be cautious when ordering. The service is always very quick and kind. It's in Downtown Athens so it has the ambience of a local bar/eat. The drinks are a 10/10 I recommend the hibiscus margarita. read more

Amazing service!! Would def go here again! Food was amazing. Atmosphere was even better!

OK, visiting Athens for homecoming weekend first weekend. Had drinks and nachos at taco mamas. We had the Mercedes margarita which I would give thumbs up on for quality and price. I would say the nachos would be a three or four star. But I would say that the white stuff is a 5+ star. So friendly so inviting so kind definitely makes it a great place to visit. read more

Food and drinks AMAZINGGGG Tuesdays are half off Margs!!! Everyone is so so nice and helpful

Highly recommend trying it out at least once. We got two different burritos and they were both good. I recommend the shrimp and steak burritos and the nachos are huge. Definitely share the nachos with 2 People. Great Pl. for a date night and the line was long, but the service was good. Also enjoyed sitting out on the patio. read more

Game day meal choice instead of tailgating and we were not disappointed. Fresh and fabulous with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. A helpful and courteous staff from management down. Hard to do all of that on game day but they did! If you are a Margarita fan don't forget to order one either! Athens scored another win with this restaurant read more
