2 months agoFood is only thing keeping this place alive. Bu8lding is nice food is great but customer service when you manage to finally get it if ever is sub par. Hire help not just family, or keep losing my business. Walked out 2 times before ever getting a server after being seated because of neglectful employees and both times there were only 2 to 3 tables filled at current time. Meaning restaurant was 75 to 80 % empty but they still could not pull it off with that equipment. Very un prepared for a crowd in Athens tx. Maybe that why there's never one.

4 months agoOur first time dining here and stopped in for lunch on Sunday. The menu is quite large and a ton of options to choose from. Unlike most restaurants, Cinco de Mayo offers their lunch specials on the weekends too. I picked the street taco special. It came with 3 tacos, rice and beans and choice of meats for only $8.99. Barbacoa, carnitas and beef fajita were very tasty. Topped with fresh and grilled onions, cilantro and some incredible green sauce. Chips were fresh and crispy. Salsa was flavorful with just a touch of heat. Service was great and they took great care of us. Was surprised the place wasn't very busy.

7 months agoBest Mexican/Seafood place in Athens!! Hands down and their margaritas are a plus !! I haven't tasted a house margarita as strong as theirs,I ordered the chicken fajitas and everything we very well cooked as I like and Not to mention the Owner gave me a free margarita for the wait since it was busy night (even though the food didn't take long) highly recommend 10/10.

a year agoFrom the chips and hot sauce, appetizers, tacos, and enchiladas... everything tasted good, and the portions were generous. Live music or karaoke at certain times makes this a great place to unwind.

a year agoStopped by here while passing through on a family outing. The place was nice, the staff was friendly and the food was good. We had street corn, enchiladas Mexicans and blanco enchiladas. We also had a frozen margarita and one on the rocks. They had many other options that lean towards more traditional Mexican dishes and less Tex mex. It’s worth a stop if you are passing through Athens. The slightly different variety of food combined with the staff friendliness was a big plus for us.

a year agoWe went there while passing by Athens on a Saturday night. There was security upfront and inside. Live music, fun but very loud. They were very busy. Food was good, it did take some time to be served. Portions are well served, I would have asked for more tortillas but I figured would take a while. Service was ok. There is only two individual restrooms by the bar, where the kitchen also is. I waited in line with many others. It probably took over 15 minutes for me to be able to use the restroom. I think this was the worst part. There are some funny slogans written on the walls.

2 years agoTo go Order was 6 hard tacos, 2 burrito Supremes, hold the onions, and a side of guacamole grand total $60. - as you can see by The pictures, We couldn’t even pick up the tacos without the bottoms, busting out they were soggy and stale. We ended up getting a half a cup of meat altogether not even enough to make a good taco salad out of it. The burrito Supremes were nothing but beans and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla and it sucked For $10 each you get a scoop of beans folded in a flour tortilla. Completely overpriced for the quality of food that we received. The ground beef inside the tacos were seasoned well, and I ate them with the chips that guacamole came with. The guacamole itself Was not completely mixed and half the avocado was still in a full form in the bottom of the bowl. No prices posted, nor nothing to look at. It was our first visit there and we will not be back. I feel completely violated financially and taking advantage of by Cinco de Mayo restaurant in Athens. I expected so much more for the price that we had to pay. As for the cashier, She was very nice and pleasant.

3 years agoFor our first time to visit I really liked pretty much everything about this place. Love the decor. Food was great. The Athens nachos was, as nachos should be, messy and delicious. The street tacos were also very good. Great service, friendly people. A little pricey, but still good food. We'll be back!
