"I have another choice to get some mediocre Mexican shit in Athens, and it's Big Mamma's Burritos. It's of course best eaten after you can no longer make sound choices on your own. The food ingredients are not above cafeteria grade quality. It can be poor service. The food is cheap though, and you're not likely to care that much about the lack of taste, only the filling up of your stomach after all its contents have been projected. I have never eaten here sober so I won't be able to say anything about that. It's open until 3 which is later than most places, so it will likely be your only choice upon finishing up at every bar in Uptown. The inside of the restaurant is surprisingly clean even late for the night rush. It has a few stools by the window so you can see revelers stumble and trip. The burritos come in two sizes. A small is in the $3 range, and a regular is in the $5 range. The small is good if you don't want leftovers. The Mamma Grande is 2 pounds. It's packed with meat and vegetables. I like the Veggie Grande. This substitutes guacamole for the meat. It's like the other Mexican fast food where you order in the line. They are unique for their odd toppings. You can get cole slaw or potatoes in your burrito. It also has typical sides like chips but you can have hummus instead of guacamole or the salsa. All the burritos are fairly cheap. As for the taste it's not impressive. The burrito is bland, it tastes like canned everything, and they can look like a big mess. It can vary on service. The service at night can be really bad as the counter workers have a hard time with the hooligans. It's still really the only time you should eat this. The burritos are just too plain sober. I would stay away if you're sober. It's not good and really you're missing out on the fun. The best time is late at night because of the free entertainment provided by the winos."
