Ancho Mexican Grill

We are big fans of Mexican food and regularly prepare it at home. We were excited to try this place on our family trip to Athens, but I gotta say it did not deliver. I have celiac disease and I'm very sensitive to cross contamination with gluten. This place was recommended as one of the few in Athens where I can safely consume gluten free food safe from cross contamination. I have to admit extra precautions were taken when I informed the staff of my condition and I felt Ok after the visit. But I was not impressed by the organization and I definitely felt anxious about getting glutened at this place. Furthermore, the food was below par as quality and taste. I had the tacos with grilled beef steak. The taco shells were old and dry, the typical crispiness was missing. The meat was not well seasoned and had a strange taste. The guacamole was bland, I expected more from a Mexican place. My wife and daughter were equally not impressed with their food. They were particularly disappointed by the churros. Overall, it's Ok if you want to try Mexican, but don't expect much of this place.

Nice "fast foodie" Mexican style place, has gluten free options. Staff very attentive to allergy requests, cleaned the counter before prep, guided through order. Other staff members provided advice on allergens and made sure not to cross contaminate. Well done

Food was great and service took well care of people who have issues with gluten.
