Agua. Linda.

This past Saturday in Athens was a rather dreary one. First because of the rain, and then second because of the score when the clock hit 0:00 in Sanford Stadium. As the Bulldog nation tried to forget what had just happened between the hedges, dinnertime rolled around. On a game day weekend when thousands of people descend on one city, finding a place to eat is often a difficult task. I knew of one place, though, that delivers quick service and excellent food that would hopefully come to the rescue on our dark Saturday night: Agua Linda. Definitely a favorite among the Athens crowd, Agua Linda always serves up yummy Mexican dishes with friendly and fast staff. My parents and brother were in town for the game, so I was excited to share it with them.

One of my favorite things about Agua Linda is their salsa cart. They bring each table a trio of salsas, rolled in on a special cart. I love the uniqueness of this delivery, even if it seems simple. It just makes their quality stand out.

I was really craving tacos that night, so I ordered their grilled chicken tacos. Filled with guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken, these soft-shell corn tacos were fabulous. It was my first time ordering tacos at Agua Linda, but I know I will definitely be ordering them again next time I go back.

In regards to social media, Agua Linda does not have a super strong presence. They have a Facebook account, but the only posts are from a few months back. This inconsistency will not benefit them if they are trying to attract customers via social media outlets. Instagram and Twitter were did not have any account for Agua Linda. They do have a great website, though, with nice pictures, a video, menu, and location directions. Even though websites are a great way to allow customers to see the restaurant menu ahead of time, having a stronger presence on social media outlets would develop their business even further and give them a wider audience reach.

Even though Agua Linda needs a little improvement on social, they definitely have mastered the food category. Agua Linda will always be a great spot to escape to for some good Mexican favorites.
