El Timon Mexican Restaurant Danielsville

Ate here while at a soccer tournament in the area. I was really surprised by this little place. Atmosphere is a little strange but the food and service were great. Will definitely go here again when in the area.

The food is great! Authentic Tex Mex. They are new and building their atmosphere still so progress takes time. Friendly service with a smile and it's very clean. The bright lighting makes for a cafeteria ambiance. They have a large flat screen on one wall behind their bar. They still are waiting on their alcohol license before they can break out their spirits. Great place to eat. Their steak ranchero is fantastic. I'm addicted. Put it over tortilla chips for an extra yummy meal. There isn't a steak better prepared unless you do it yourself.

I've been pleasantly surprised at the food quality and quantity each time I've been there, at least once a week since they opened the Danielsville location 7 miles from my house. There are 5 closer Mexican restaurants to me, but this one has won me over. Tonight I was in the mood for steak, and as most of you know, there is not a steakhouse anywhere closer than Athens. Some of the other Mex-Tex places list a steak on their menus but each place I tried I was served a thin piece of beef suitable for tacos, but not as an entree... however El Timon serves up a thick 12oz ribeye that was tasty and delicious. 😋 I'll be back more often. Pics attached of actual steak I had tonight, normally there are onions and peppers added, but I left mine off.

Great tacos too! Stuffed full of goodness, plump full of flavor...yummy.

11/10 best Mexican food in Danielsville. The food is really, really good; the people are so sweet and it's inexpensive without skimping in quality. We have been to the Royston location as well, and I am so SO glad they have a closer one now!!!
