Taco Stand

My friends and I stopped by here before going to the Sleep concert at the 40 Watt and we were not disappointed. I got the fried chicken burrito and it was soooooo delicious. The order taker was hilarious: she either was stoned, did not want to be there, or both. Either way, she added to the element of this place. Their bar is minimal, but if you like liquor or beer you should be able to find what you need. All in all, worth a visit and I will come back here again.

A true Athens institution and one of my favorite restaurants of all time. Everything on the menu is great. Service always friendly and on point.

I got the fried chicken burrito, and cheese dip with my chips. The cheese dip is what stood out the most. Rather than the normal white queso most Mexican restaurants serve around here, Taco Stands was more of a mixture of cheese, peppers, and spices that made it just spectacular! More like what I would consider "homemade" than that other stuff. Anyways, the fried chicken burrito did not fail to impress, either. All in all, I had a wonderful dining experience today. On a scale of 1-10, the Taco Stand is a major GO!!!

I'm a New Englander, born and raised. Went down to Athens for a small getaway to visit close friends who'd moved on down south after graduation, as well as some family. Went out for a night, and found this little number.
The staff was OUTSTANDING. Hard workers. Dark haired lady was very attentive, and pleasant to be around. One of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Atmosphere was welcoming, and as I'm generally a reserved man, I was surprised to find myself immediately at ease. Went back a second time, and was taken care of by a gentleman with awesome hair and an amazing mustache.
Great people, great food. I'm not a fan of the southern heat, but this place and the staff inside made it all worth it.
So much so, I had to make this detailed. 11/10
