" This was my first visit to Poquitos and I had high expectations based on the reviews. The tacos were good but not outstanding. I ordered the steak and found it slightly overcooked, which was disappointing. The service was decent but lacked the friendliness I was hoping for. The environment felt vibrant. I might return and give it another try, but this visit left me a bit underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had dinner at Poquitos last night. The ambiance was really nice—a charming mix of modern and traditional decor. We ordered the birria torta and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! Juicy, flavorful, and packed with extras. The side salsas gave it an extra kick! However, I found service to be a bit lacking in warmth. Although I enjoyed the food, I wished the staff made me feel more welcome. Would I come back? Absolutely! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely one of my new favorite spots! Poquitos serves up some of the most delicious tacos I’ve had in Athens. Each bite is filled with flavor, and the ingredients taste exceptionally fresh. I particularly loved the atmosphere—it's lively and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends. I appreciated the fast service as well, which really enhanced the experience. Can’t wait to come back and try their whole menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my dining experience at Poquitos. As someone who loves authentic Mexican food, I was thrilled to find such rich, flavorful dishes right here in Athens. The quesabirria tacos had just the right amount of cheese and the consomme was heavenly! I really appreciated the fresh ingredients. However, I feel that the portion sizes could be slightly better for the price—smaller tacos than expected. Nonetheless, I left satisfied and excited to return soon to try the rest of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Poquitos last Saturday and was blown away by the authentic flavors! The tacos were stuffed to perfection, and the al pastor was seasoned just right. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, perfect for a casual night out with friends. Service was quick and friendly, and I loved the little touches like sliced radishes on the side. This is definitely becoming a regular spot for me! Highly recommend trying the birria tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on previous reviews but my experience was mixed. While the ambiance was delightful, the food didn’t blow me away. My burrito was average at best, and certainly not authentic. The service felt rushed despite it not being very busy. I can appreciate the decor and layout of the space, but the food will likely deter me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing buzz about Poquitos from friends, I checked it out and oh boy, the al pastor was the real deal! I felt like I was back in Mexico enjoying street food. The tortillas were fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the wait for my food was a little long, but the staff was courteous the whole time. The patio is a great spot to enjoy your meal. I will be back for taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)
