Worth the wait!! As a customer who has only ever eaten their breakfast, I can still say the same. There breakfast tacos are excellent and very fresh. They are made to order, and make sure to add the toppings of your choice. The group of...Read More

Extraordinary breakfast tacos. This unassuming little eatery with no indoor seating (but plenty outside) has the best taco in Athens. These perfectly sized tacos are so much better than those tasteless rolled up Sunday paper "burritos" you get at the chain places. Your order is cheerfully...Read More

This is real Texas BBQ. I've had award winning championship Texas BBQ before and have been spoiled ever since. I've gone everywhere looking for it around town but it just wasn't right. Then I saw this place and had to try it....Read More

Delicious! My husband is from Texas and has trouble finding GOOD brisket here in GA. This was amazing. Best we've found, so far! I'm not big on vinegar based sauce, but the brisket didn't need it anyway. Great place!

Had to take a photo after the first bite because it wasn't going to last long. Beef brisket was the tastiest, juiciest piece of meet I've ever eaten. And I'm not a collared greens greens kinda guy but that was also exceptional. Tangy sauce had...Read More

It may not look like much, but don't be fooled. The brisket is amazing, and their homemade tortillas make for the best burritos.

This place is truly a gem of Athens. Awesome horchata, delicious brisket, and the pricing was fair. Tortillas were great. Can’t wait to visit next time I’m in town.

Interesting dive but so much more than what you see. We are new in town and didn’t want the usual chain foods so we stumbled upon Tamez. They are super nice people and the service was pretty fast. The atmosphere is probably a lot more...Read More

Great brisket and fantastic breakfast burritos. The collard greens were stunning and corn bread was perfect. Someone said it was dry and idk, cornbread ain’t supposed to be a muffin in my opinion and even then it wasn’t dry at all.
