Taqueria Tsunami - Athens, Georgia

Tsunami Taco has excellent service and delicious food. We hosted my daughter’s post graduation (UGA, Go Dawgs!) at this location 12/13/24. We didn’t have a reservation but they made space for 8 of us and celebrated the occasion. I highly recommend it for dinner or a small celebration.

Reunited with a friend over lunch. We hadn't seen each other in years and she had never been to Taqueria Tsunami so I was overjoyed this is where we ended up.

We started with chicken empanadas. They were good and warm but the chicken was slightly dry. Our entrees were delicious; we ordered a rice bowl and salad.

We were there at lunch time so I expected more of a crowd but it was fairly slow that day so I didn't feel bad about taking more time to catch up with my friend since there was seating available and not just in our server's section. I like to be mindful of that if I'm spending more time than normal because I know how important turning tables can be and I don't mind tipping generously if that's the case.

Our server was friendly and brought our food out and refilled our drinks during the meal. Unfortunately, she never returned after she dropped off our tab.

We visited for quite some time afterwards and it would have been nice to get another drink, but our server never returned.

Honestly, I'm not one to run someone down either and by the time we left, our empty glasses and the check were waiting for the server to return. It is what it is and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and visit with each other regardless.

First time checking this restaurant out. Was hesitant because a lot of reviews say the tacos come out cold. Started with the Avacado Eggrolls which were very good. I went with the steak quesadilla and my wife had the Shrimp Tempura Taco and Thai Chicken Taco. She said the flavor was good but unfortunately both tacos were COLD. This is unacceptable for any restaurant, but especially a place that constantly gets this review about the food. The margaritas were the best part of the meal. I had the Jalapeño Cilantro and Spicy Pima margaritas and my wife had the Elderflower Paloma and Strawberry Basil. Would come back to this place for the margaritas and we had great service but not sure about trying the food again.

If you’re looking for something that will get you full and taste delicious… this is your spot! I was very impressed by the speed of service, presentation of food, and especially the taste of the food! Definitely recommend the Asian nachos and Rich man taco! You won’t regret it!

Absolutely delicious! Our server was friendly and service was quick--for late lunchtime anyway, not too many people. I got the Trio with Shrimp Tempura and Rich Man's (steak) tacos and the chips--the sauce on the steak wasn't my personal favorite but good taco overall, and the shrimp taco was perfectly fresh! The churros for dessert were also perfection, I would come back just for them. 10/10!
