sr. sol 1

verygoodmexican. went here on a friend's suggestion because cali n titos had a line to the car wash. walked right in and got a table immediately, even though it was packed. chips were fresh and warm, salsa was a little better than the average red at most mexican places. didn't get to try the guac or cheese dip, but they looked great as the staff was walking past with them. it took a little while to get the food, but the server came by often to refill our drinks, and it was really busy. i had something that had "bistek" in the title; a beef dish with onions and peppers and was served with beans and rice, pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream and my choice of either corn or flour tortillas (corn were great). it was delicious and had a wonderful flavor. i love c&t but i would definitely hit this place up again.

wish there was one in every city!. i came here based on the reviews, and was not disappointed!! the food was fantastic. yes, it is next to a gas station, but to get tasty mexican food like that, i don't care what it's next to. i had three different kinds of tacos, and all were delicious. the rice and beans weregoodtoo! i only wish this restaurant was closer to my house so i'd never have to cook again. try sr. sol- you'll love it!

okay so this is the highest reviewed restaurant in athens on zomato therefore the fiance and i had to try it. first off, it's in the same building as a gas station, not exactly fine dining but we were okay with that. the complimentary chips and salsa were very tasty and they even give you two other sauces to try for no extra charge. we tried the enchiladas, burritos, and nachos. all tasted verygoodbut honestly i have had way better at mexican restaurants in my hometown (pensacola,fl). in our opinion this place is way overrated on zomato. nevertheless, it gets a 4.0 because it isgoodfood at a cheap price.

great food. my wife and i took our daughter to sr. sol because we had heardgoodthings. the food was great, reasonably prices and well served. we (my wife and i) have eaten there twice since then. it's a great place and i recommend it.

was a favorite. brought friends for lunch order was wrong twice had to send one back an order something different due to not beinggoodat all thought maybe they were having an off day, but went again and food was not fresh just terrible. very disappointed. ;( this was both times at original location on tallahassee.

total hipster spot...come help us crash their spot. imagine a booster mexican waffle house. oh...andgoodfood too.

good, but not up to the hype. sr. sol is ranked the #1 mexican restaurant in athens, and while it was good, i'm puzzled as to why it is the best.

last night my girlfriend stopped by to see what all the fuss was about, and i left a little disappointed. don't get me wrong - the food was very good. eating at a legitimate place like sr. sol makes you truly question why you ever go to taco bell.

oh, you can get a stale taco with shredded iceburg at taco bell for $2?
i got a real carne asada steak taco at sr. sol for $2 as well.

as far as prices goes. sr. sol wasn't terrible.
the cheese dip was a tad expensive - $5 - and it was by no means better than anything you'd get at willies or moe's.

all in all, the food is good. but it isn't the best. it doesn't merit #1.

the queso was good, but it's better at willies on alps.
the tacos were good, but they're better at cali and titos.
the gordita was good, but they're better at the j&j's flea market. (no joke - if you ever go to j&j's, they have a little mexican food stand. buy a gordita. be sure to grab a napkin for your drool.)

summary -goodplace. not worth the #1 in athens.

new favorite mexican place. i don't know what it is, but this place is awesome. i went for the first time about month ago and have already been back twice. the empanadas are my favorite and the house margaritas aregoodtoo.

a+ food. i had chicken, shredded beef, and marinated pork tacos. they were simply and perfectly prepared. there was no dinner combo #11, and there were no sissy fusion dishes.

good food,goodprices, great staff...i can't wait to go back!
