Restaurantji's Athens picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Great restaurant with amazing food and a good bar atmosphere at night. Worker owned so no tipping which is an amazing breath of fresh air and everyone is always great. A shining example for future restaurants!!!!Parking: Street parking in a college town, varies based on when students are in.“
“The manager of this fine establishment greeted us and sat us, then treated us like he knew us our whole lives. He does know my son and his wife! The food was fantastic, our server was fantastic and everything as a whole was fantastic. This is a must stop if you are in Athens “
“Any chicken Burrito is my go to! All the burritos are HUGE! Prepared fresh in the amazing Burrito Buggy! The Burrito Buggy… always a favorite in Athens! Thank you for parking the Buggy and serving the community food truck style for so many years!“
“Ok, so to start with, I acknowledge this is Fast Food. Within a category of "fast food," I give my experience 5 stars. It is not equal to the sit down restaurant at the edge of town, nor to Chipotle.I did, however, while enjoying a taco salad and a chicken street taco think to myself, "this is better than Taco Bell in every way." I have several friends who like Taco Bell, and I too can eat there just give, but I consider the quality of what I ate at this Athens location to be superior to any Taco Bell I've had. Individual tastes can vary.This location is in a college town, and to be fair my 2 experiences there have been during the summer, while college is not in full swing. The workers were kind, courteous, and patient, and my taco looked like a taco with everything actually inside the taco.I was already impressed (but maybe I'm easy) that the taco salad was in a box to protect its shape. It would not surprise me if the box is the most expensive part of the $6 food item. Not surprisingly, the taco "bowl" was completely intact, and was light and crispy. My family and I really like the sauce/dressing that comes with the taco salad, and as a guy that likes things saucy, there was a healthy portion of the dressing, too...a 2oz container, I think. The freshness of the toppings was better than expected, and the partial lime wedge for the street taco was a nice touch.And so again I say, this is Fast Food, and within fast foods I consider this a 5 star experience.“
“Good atmosphere. Food is pretty good. A little on the sweet side, but still good. Got French toast with strawberries and a side of eggs. Strawberries are glazed with a strawberry sauce that creates a sweet tart taste. French toast and syrup is good. Eggs seemed like they came from egg beaters and not real eggs and were sweet tasting like sugar was added. It was fine.“
“Fast service, friendly atmosphere, family dining, and fresh food!Vegetarian options: The tortilla soup is vegetarian friendly and they offer salads and a variety of things that you can put in a salad.Parking: The location is perfect to have a quick meal in between shopping or before or after you are done shopping. It’s located in between grocery stores and a shopping center and has plenty of parking in the front or side of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They offer high chairs for younger children and plenty of places to sit with a small or large family!“
“The food is very good and the service is usually friendly and quick, but my last experience here was surprisingly off. The margaritas, which are normally delicious and a great price, had a strange taste to them. The food took a lot longer to come out than normal, maybe 30 minutes.“
“Lulu runs a very clean restaurant, with outstanding decor and atmosphere. The food is sort of standard restaurant tex/mex BUT everything on my plate is fresh and plentiful -read that as huge portions. The house salsa is top shelf, and the guacamole is also very good. Lulu does not serve alcohol, but you can bring your own.“
