Taqueria Del Sol

Taqueria Del Sol on Prince Avenue has been a fixture of the Athens dining scene with a mission to "do a few things great rather than many things just okay." With over 210 reviews at 4.5 stars, the counter serve restaurant has earned a reputation among students and locals alike as a go to spot for tacos and enchiladas that punch above their price point. The menu is intentionally focused. Soft tacos with creative fillings like fried chicken, spicy pork, and grilled fish are the core offering, and the kitchen executes each one with care and consistency. The enchiladas are equally well done. The approach of doing less but doing it well translates to a menu where every item has been refined rather than just added to fill space. The Prince Avenue location is in the busy corridor near downtown Athens, accessible from campus and surrounding neighborhoods. The counter service format keeps things moving efficiently, which is important during the lunch rush when lines can form quickly. The dining area is casual and comfortable, and the $$ pricing is fair for the quality and uniqueness of the food. Taqueria Del Sol is open for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is part of a small regional chain, which means the format is proven and the execution is consistent. For a quick, flavorful meal that does not sacrifice quality for speed, it is one of the smarter options on Prince Avenue.
