Diablo's Southwest Grill

If you're a fan of fast-casual Mexican spots like Qdoba, Chipotle or Freebirds, Diablo's Southwest Grill is a solid pick. I visited their location at 3668 Wheeler Rd (Suite #4) in Augusta and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a chicken bowl, which starts with rice and beans and builds up with your choice of meat, veggies, toppings, pico de gallo, and salsa. The flavor was excellent, and the portion size made it a great value. What really stood out to me was the complimentary chips and salsa that come with your order—something most places have done away with lately. Diablo’s even offers a small salsa bar with three kinds of salsa and lemon wedges for extra flavor. Service was quick and efficient, with minimal interaction beyond placing your order at the counter. The setup is no-frills: walk in, order, pick up your food, and seat yourself—either inside or at one of the outdoor tables. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Diablo’s. It’s a budget-friendly, tasty option for a casual lunch or dinner.

Best Diablos in Augusta! I want to express my huge appreciation for Amanda, the manager and her staff for the awesome customer service and delicious food they continue to deliver. I frequent this location on a weekly basis so the consistency is highly appreciated. Thank you Amanda and team!

Ate here with my husband after hearing multiple people rave about how Diablo’s is allegedly better than Chipotle, and we were both honestly very disappointed with our food. The chips and queso were amazing (better than Chipotle or Moe’s, actually), but both of our burrito bowls were so aggressively mediocre that we didn’t finish them. My chicken was also kind of rubbery. Our bill at Diablo’s was a little cheaper than it usually is at than the other places, but this is definitely a “you get what you pay for” experience. Their nutritional facts are also really hard to find online, and not very precise at all. I get that not everyone cares about this, but I’m in the middle of a cut so tracking macros is essential to me even for a cheat meal like this. Chipotle gives the exact macros for every ingredient so even if you customize a bowl, you know exactly what you’re consuming. Final verdict: Chipotle is just vastly superior - except for their queso, but you can’t have it all, I suppose 🤷🏼‍♀️

2025-02: Came in for a late lunch and there were no customers with only two people working, both who had little to no customer service skills. Neither one of them were exactly pleasant and one even acted as though she had a chip on her shoulder. The dining room was clean and orderly. The food was mediocre at best. The hot salsa even tasted "off" - both in one of our orders, as well as from the salsa bar. I will visit a different Diablo's in the area in the future.

I wanted tacos so bad that on Sunday evening, I drove across town to get them. They were worth it. I love Diablo's food.
