Fuzzy’s Tacos

The atmosphere was friendly and the the food was satisfactory for the price. It also came out pretty fast after I ordered which was nice. My main complaint is that I was standing in a line of about 10 people or so for 30 minutes. That’s frankly just unacceptable. They only had one person working the register and the place was completely slammed which seems very inefficient. In conclusion I will say that while the food was good for the price, it was not worth the thirty minute wait.

No salsa or guacamole on a Saturday night is pretty ridiculous. Ordered a burrito looking forward to getting guac and wasn’t told that it would be missing. Being the first ingredient listed on the menu I think a customer should be informed. No salsa/​guac no bueno.

Fuzzy’s seems right at home in a college town, and luckily we were there during winter break, so it was dead inside. That being said, the service was a bit slow, although the girl working the counter/​running food was extremely personable, so at least it was pleasantly slow.
I ordered a smothered beef burrito and chips and queso. I was with 4 others and figured we could eat the chips and queso while we waited for the rest of our food. Unfortunately, I guess they consider chips a side order rather than an appetizer, so 3 of my friends who ordered before me got their food, then the one friend after me got his, and finally I got mine along with the chips. Needless to say the chips were barely touched by that point.
But service anomalies aside, the food is pretty good. Burrito was nicely filled with rice beans, meat, but could have used a little more lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream, etc. inside. The smothering was a red enchalada sauce and queso, which worked great together.
The queso itself was definitely a step above Velveeta but not by much. It hardened way too quickly for my tastes and still had that slightly chemical/​plastic taste of fake cheese. Nothing to write home about.
Fuzzy’s could benefit from a salsa bar — yes they have bottles of hot sauce on the table, but some chunky sauce with a bit of heat would be appreciated.
All in all, I’d go back to try a taco if I’m ever in the area. It’s good for a group and it looks like they have good drinks. Also, the churros are great, although nearly $ 4 for 8 little 4″ chunks is a bit much.

This was my second time at Fuzzy’s. Last time I was here they had only been opened a month and the food was so salty and unappealing that it has taken over a year for me to return. Honestly I partly returned because I wanted the Internet while enjoying my lunch. I had noticed a few weeks ago the free wifi sign on the door. This is a lie. The cashier said they do not five out the password I pointed to the door and she said she would check but never returned. There is a wifi link but it does not work.
I ordered the brisket sandwich. The bread is sort of the same buttery toasted bread served at sonic but in a different shape. The meat was of okay quality and decent portion, but nothing I’d return for or ever crave. The potatoes served with the sandwich were okay, but pretty salty.
I might try it again but only if encouraged by someone else to return.

I came in around 11:45 on a Friday night thinking they would be open till 2 am because that’s clearly what it says on the posted hours outside their door to have some margaritas and tacos because hey! It’s Friday and I want tacos and margaritas. HOWEVER! As I’m ordering my food, I hear the bartender make a last call for drinks at 11:45! So my boyfriend asked the cashier why they were doing last call at that time if they’re open till 2. She proceeded to say «we’re only open till that time if we’re really busy.» Ok? What kind of business is that. Not only that but my friend also went to get a margarita as they closed the bar and asked the same question to the bartender and the bartenders response was «the staff doesn’t like to stay late.» So hire people that are willing to stay late and don’t post false hours. Oh, I’m not finished there. We got our tacos and they were COLD! Like out of the refrigerator COLD! The tortilla was not heated AT ALL! My boyfriend was not satisfied at all so he went to ask for a refund and as he was asking for his refund a group of about 18 people walked in ready to order and they got turned away «because the kitchen JUST closed.» It all comes down to laziness!
I remember coming here and bragging about how good this place was but everything has just gone downhill.
I will say they have really good margaritas. But that’s about it.

Not many people in here when I walked in to order, took forever to get my order taken. Nice enough staff but took forever to get two tacos. Even when I was in college I wasn’t this slow. Smoke one for me bros.

I like Fuzzy’s. It’s not somewhere I go out of my way to go, but I have never had food there that I didn’t like. If I recall, their beer is pretty cheap too!

Fuzzy is a great place to go to in a college town like Athens. Fuzzy is not a place you go to if you are looking for great food. Nothing is going to wow you. Believe me! The service is always fast and the food comes out quickly. You order your food and wait for it to come out.
I have been here several times, especially after exams! The main reason I come here for those Magaritas! They are delicious. You can get them frozen, on the rocks, and with so many different flavors. I prefer on the rocks with the traditional margarita flavor. It is also like $ 6 and comes in a huge glass. I like to get at least one or two in my system before I am out of here. The only thing I dislike is the parking in downtown. Luckily, the parking meter takes cards because I never have change. Overall, great place to drink and just relax.

Love the space and the prices. Large portions and decent food I take my little ones and its no problem. Staff is always friendly. Even the cooks.

You know, it’s pretty hard to get a 1 star. You literally have to have done NOTHING in order to get that low and guess what, that’s what happened.
I get this is a college town and it’s a college bar, but does that really excuse you from having decent service?
Came here for lunch on a Wednesday around 4pm, friend and I were the ONLY one in the eating area minus three dudes in the back bar. I’m sure one or two of them actually worked here.
So my deal with this place? Remember that my friend and I are the only dining customers in this place. Ordered 4 tacos: 2 shredded beef, crawfish, and a shredded chicken. I don’t know how this normally works, but I assumed that they were call out your number or deliver it to your table. But judging from the set up, it seems that they call out your number over the mic and you come and get it. Simple enough. Well, whoever worked there never called out my number. I saw a tray on the counter but didn’t assume it was mine. So finally, I went to check, sure enough, it was my order. Completely cold at this point. Couldn’t find that guy at this point.
Ending of the story, had 4 cold tacos that were disgusting. Never again.

Great fresh food. Great for families. We visited when the Dawgs had an away game so there wasn’t a crowd and the food was ready quickly. We will definitely be back!

dear management,
why would you ever only have one food order taker on gameday???
p. s. three hours later…

I can’t believe how long it took to get chips and queso along with one crawfish taco. When my number was called I went to pick up my order and it wasn’t even complete. Had to wait even longer. The taco was a flavorless disaster. The chips were extremely salty and the queso was supposed to have chorizo in it but had ground beef in it. Total disappointment. First and last time this place gets my money!

When you visit on gameday it’s important to lower expectations as this place was mobbed at lunch. Meanwhile, the staff worked hard to keep the line moving and food flowing to tables. Even as busy as it was orders came up quickly and the food wasn’t bad.
For those of you from outside Athens, this is a chain. They are scattered across the country and the food is average, at best, but for the cost, you can’t complain. The spicy pork burrito I had for lunch was fine. The pork was tasty. My cousin had a two-​taco shrimp plate with refried beans and the Latin potatoes and was satisfied, but no thrilled either. The potatoes had far too much seasoning, but that’s what happens when you have college kids working and a huge crowd.
Nothing on the menu at Fuzzy’s is going to wow you. On the other hand, nothing is terrible either. This is a place to eat at when you don’t want to spend a lot money and don’t have a lot of time. Or, if you want to go out and have drinks (there’s a full bar here), watch games and munch of chips, salsa (which is very average here) and guacamole. It’s a laid back place where you can be in and out in 10 minutes or spend a few hours.

Poor customer service with no corrective action offered after I brought the mistake to an employee’s attention. Will not go back, which is sad because the food was decent and I’d like to have sampled the rest of the menu. There are plenty of other taco/​mexican joints in ATH, though.

Good grilled fish tacos. The grilled shrimp tacos were great — lots of cilantro. The black beans were good. They told me they were vegetarian, but they tasted like they had meat in them, so I’m not sure. The cilantro rice was tasty, too. The potatoes were okay. They would have been better with ketchup, but there wasn’t any available when I was there. Ask for some when you place your order.

Awful bleach smell when I entered the place. Couldn’t finish my fish taco.

So gross I wish I could give it zero stars. I hesitate to write this review because I wish I could completely forget my meal here. In a town full of amazing Mexican food, there is no excuse to ever even think of going here! If you’re looking for tacos, try Señor Sol, Tlaloc Mexicana, heck even the Taco Stand is better! Don’t go here.

To commemorate National Margarita Day — never knew there was such a day, but I’m not complaining — Fuzzy’s offered $ 2 margaritas. And damn, they were good!
Loaded my daughter and some of her friends in the back of the truck and headed over for margaritas and chicken cheese nachos. On a warm day, the outdoor patio is great for people-​watching.
Don’t expect a gourmet meal. Don’t even expect a server to come to your table. (They call out your number for counter pick-​up.) Fuzzy’s is what it is… and it works! It’s cheap, casual and perfect for the college town it’s in.

Nice atmosphere. Good service. Ordered 5 different baja tacos in the soft shell.
grilled fish, grilled shrimp, grilled veggie, grilled chicken, one other. The best was the grilled fish. They were all O.K. But, not even in the same league as Sr. Sol’s tacos.
I loved the flavor of the salsa and the chips were very good with a light texture.
I’ll go back for the chips and salsa for sure.
