El Barrio Tacos Tequila - Athens

The food at this restaurant is excellent, with a great setting in the heart of Five Points. The margaritas are amazing and perfect for a Saturday afternoon. The space is large for the area, and the food is really good overall. The service was a bit slow at first but improved with more help. Some dishes were just okay, but the chips and salsa were excellent. The queso with chorizo turned out more like bacon, but still tasty. The pork belly gorditas were delicious, packed with cheese and pork belly. The fried garlic shrimp taco was also awesome. We shared a pitcher of frozen house margaritas, which were perfect for a warm spring day. The staff was friendly but initially understaffed. The vibe and interior are really cool, with a covered dining area inside and plenty of outdoor space with games like cornhole and a putting green. The only downside is the lack of tables outside. Overall, a cool spot in Five Points for eating and drinking.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the staff is very friendly. The food has a Mexican American twist, not authentic Mexican (I am Hispanic), but it was still delicious!

Although the margaritas were satisfactory, I was disappointed by the lack of flavor in the food. I had expected more from Mexican cuisine, known for its bold flavors and spices. Even the nachos were just plain chips. On the positive side, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. I just wish the food had lived up to the same standard.

The food and service at this restaurant were fantastic. The birria tacos were absolutely incredible!

Look, I'm not a definitiw who didn't leave a bad assessment for any reason, but that must be the worst eating experience I've ever had. that had no taste at all, and I mean, it's sad if taco bell has more taste than this place. the garnel tacos tasted as if they were going badly. the dame at the switch had to be one of the worst waiters I saw up to this point. we asked for a drink refill, and she tells me I can come in and get a drink refill if I want, and that's after I gave her a $15 dollar tip. Anyway, I do not recommend this place at any time.
