"Tex-Mex" around here moved upscale pretty fast, aside from the "real" ones on Buford Highway. 
Well no wonder all you're finding is crappy versions then. The worst Tex-Mex places here in Texico, are the ones that are "upscale."  Sure they might have good eye candy and decent drink specials, but the food is typically forgettable at best.

Looks legit, I'd give it a shot if I were in the area.

Who the hell wants an "upscale" platter of Tex-Mex?  Tex-Mex is comfort food not haute cuisine.  It's poor people food.

sorry, upscale may have been a poor choice of term.

I meant good or much better than average - didn't mean price or fancy digs

You should come over for the CG unless you're AFRAID.

We ain't gonna make the CCG but it looks like a short trip from Athens.  I could come watch the Horns lose at Sanford and then beebop over for some At-Mex.

If you come to the game in Athens, I'll go with you, and try to get tickets somehow.  I'll even pick you up at the airport and drive you to Athens and let you stay on our sofa bed.  That of course will likely be a hot ticket.  You can wear burnt orange, I still even have a Texas cap.  We'd go up early and see if we could get into a TG somewhere.  Probably have Kurt and the boys there.

The weather should be prime.  I like the term "At-Mex", which likely is what it is, even though nearly everyone dining there is Hispanic.
