Kique’s Kitchen - (Near Watkinsville, GA)

5 /5 David Frederick: Hands down my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in town! They have all the right ingredients: - Amazing Food (and cocktails!) - Great Service - Fantastic Venue I have been a big fan of the quality coming out of Kiques Kitchen in Watkinsville. Now, we can enjoy the whole experience in an even better location, right on UGA Campus! Ive eaten there 4 times this week already...! Their Birria is amazing!!

5 /5 Lucas Ely: Order at the counter and seat yourself. Amazing authentic Mexican with a great selection at the salsa bar. Birria tacos with consume were out of this world. Ceviche tostada was good and the spinach quesadilla was also substantial. Prices are good and the food was ready quickly! Give them a shot if you’re around Athens!

5 /5 R J: Toldia is too thin. I recommend having two overlapping ones. If it gets thicker, it wont taste good. The meat seasoning is good and tender. I recommend it.

2 /5 Barb: We ended up here because of a search for food in athens on TikTok. This place came up and the food in the video looked so good and it claimed to be authentic so I couldn’t wait to try it. When we first arrived we could tell the place was small but there is outside seating so that was a plus. You order at the register and pay then sit down. They have a salsa bar so that alone was a win first impression. Their health score was an 87-B but I didn’t bother to look why.( big mistake) It went downhill from there. I was really excited about the aguas frescas because they are my favorite. I ordered the horchata one and on first sip it tasted bitter almost medicine like and I knew right away it had gone bad. I’m not sure how old that water was but it was no longer edible. I took it back and they took it to the kitchen. They guy inside the kitchen must of tried it because immediately after they took the whole container down and replaced it with a fresh batch. Needless to say I asked for a Jamaica one after that. Food came one plate at a time. Which if it’s fresh then I don’t mind. The tortillas on the pollo ala plancha plate were hand made with is great. Too bad the food itself was not. The rice had very little to no flavor. The chicken did not taste good. I ordered the hot lemon pepper chicken fries but the smothered the fries in buffalo sauce and it made them soggy and no lemon pepper flavor was present. (See picture) We also ordered the quesatacos with consomé and those were decent. Except the consomé was a little on the salty side. We didn’t eat very much due to being annoyed the whole time by flies. They had quite a few flies in the restaurant and with the open salsa bar with no lids covering any of the salsas that’s not a good thing. We asked for plates to go and left. The food we did eat made my mom sick within an hour of eating it. I still feel so bad for taking her there but I had no idea this would happen. The staff overall was pretty nice and can’t blame them for bad food so we still tipped them. I can’t say I would go back although I truly believe they probably had the right thing going at some point because they do have plenty of customers.

5 /5 Caleb: Had a great lunch here- birria torta, chips and salsa, classic combo. The bread for the torta was incredible, well seasoned and lightly toasted without being crispy, and the birria and consome combo was super flavorful and well cheesed. I also had the BEST guava margarita I’ve ever had in my life. I will be back- only watch out is that if it’s busy, seating is limited but there is some outdoor seating
