Guidebook for Watkinsville/Athens
Food Scene
Delightful marriage of latin and Asian cuisine! Casual atmosphere with patio dining available. We recommend a fun appetizer like avocado egg rolls or edamame peas (with extra chili salt), a taco Trio (try the "Rich Man's taco," "Pacific Rim," or "Aloha") or a specialty Bowl as your main course, and then finish with delicious sopapillas. (Lots of easy option for kids, too.)
