Los Arquitos Cocina Mexicana - Athens (TX)

5 /5 Donna Parks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Los Arquitos Cocina Mexicana is the real deal. Nothing fancy, just authentic Mexican food done right. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the flavors were spot on, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and welcoming, like a true neighborhood spot. If you want genuine, comforting Mexican food in Athens, this is definitely the place to go.

5 /5 Andrew Ragland: Great small town Mexican food. Simple cheese queso and spicy salsa. Beef chili enchiladas and carne guisada! Charro beans wonderful! Homemade tortillas. Good sweet tea.

5 /5 Beverly Albrecht: Great hidden gem in Athens. While traveling through Athens, we were hungry for Mexican food and tracked down this restaurant. The food and service was great! We had the barbacoa tacos which were covered with onions and cilantro. This appears to be where the locals come.

5 /5 Andi Barlow: If you are in Athens and have a refined palate for Jalisco style cuisine, EAT HERE! We are from South Texas and know good food and this did not disappoint. It was so good that we will be back tomorrow before heading home.

5 /5 Karen Mossefin: We decided to try this place today for lunch. Thank goodness we did, their food is great! We ordered carne asada with curly fries (soooo gooooood!!). My husband got the lengua taco and I got the quesobirria. The service is great and have that friendly atmosphere. We definitely recommend this place! Also, when we arrived (before noon) there were tons of parking space. By the time we left, the parking lot was pack full.
