I’m always on the hunt for a taco, and let me tell you—this place NAILS IT. The steak is perfectly marinated, smoky, and tender.
It’s the kind of taco that makes you stop mid-bite and just appreciate life for a second. If you love carne asada, do yourself a favor and get here ASAP.
Five stars, no question.

For those looking for a wonderful spot to eat with a relaxing atmosphere reminiscent of being a relatives home. Then you need to come check out Athena’s Cantina. From amazing food to welcoming owners, you won’t find a better experience. That saying, “never judge a book by its cover,” certainly applies here. Not one to usually write a review, I can’t helped but feel compelled to write one, because it truly was a memorable experience

Without a doubt, the best burrito I’ve had in Maine. The owners—an husband and wife team, are so lovely and the service is phenomenal. Carne asada was marinated to perfection and perfectly done. I requested a super hot sauce, and she made it for me on the spot. Wishing you both continued, well deserved success!

Absolutely delicious tacos! And the woman who runs it is just so sweet and amazing. She was great with our baby and made eating out with littles so comfortable. Plus she had fantastic wine recommendations!

What a gem! We often lament the lack of good options for Mexican food in Maine. Turns out this place was right under our nose in Freeport! Would absolutely recommend! Plus they have a new dessert bar opening up in January!
