You might think 'fresh' and '30 years' don't go together, but you might not have experienced the Taco Stand. For 30 years we've been bringing the best in Fresh Mex to Athens, Atlanta and your neighborhood. Our unrelenting pursuit of freshness sets us apart from other Mexican restaurants and burrito joints. If it's not fresh or hand made, then it's not in our kitchen. We provide the freshest Mexican dining in a fun and refined atmosphere. We're a friendly, neighborhood place. We're a great place to bring the kids for dinner, but also a 'taco tavern', where you can relax after work with a…

The Scene – The original "T-Stand" in Athens is a Bulldog's temple, and its Atlanta offspring maintains the collegiate vibe. Tavern-style booths, a hearty bar, 11 television sets and good-natured fellowship fill a brown-toned interior that's boathouse-meets-sports bar. During the day, Buckhead office types and families line up at the counter for a quick, cheap lunch. After work, Georgia grads come to loosen the tie and toss back a beer or margarita over queso dip. The Stand's best feature is its spacious back patio that beckons on a nice afternoon. – – The Food – The…

Killer Tacos, Great Vibe

The Taco Stand has been a favorite of my family's for many years. I used to enjoy the Taco Stand in Athens, but now that we live in Atlanta we take the kids and enjoy some of the freshest mexican food in town. The Taco Stand is still a great happy hour spot, too.
- Pros: Best Tacos in town

Awful Service
by meagjames at Citysearch
We are not picky and love Mexican food however we do expect a certain level of service when going to a restaurant. I think the turnover must be really bad here because we have never seen the same staff except for management. I honestly think the management is the problem. We have tried this place 4 times and while the food and drinks are good... we have never gotten our order to come in a timely manner nor has it ever been right! On our last trip, we ordered something which came out wrong. The manager came over and apologized and we got our new order within in minutes. We were very nice until both orders appeared on our bill!! They would not credit us back for the wrong order and said it was our fault for not ordering correctly. Even it if it was our fault- can you imagine not crediting us back for 3 tacos at $3/piece when we had 5 top shelf drinks totally $50? I waited tables for 7 years and am very patient at restaurants and know how customers can be... this is just ridiculous. We honestly thought a hidden camera was going to come out after our last visit... just pathetic. We left and told the manager to please ask someone else in the business for advice on our situation after we left- it was so sad.
Needless to say that we won't be back, there are just too many other options in Atlanta. I don't expect they will be in business much longer unless they learn to treat their customers better.
- Pros: Location, Food
- Cons: Service and Management were awful!!
