Cali N Tito's

Very authentic place to get great drinks and amazing food. When you walk in you grab a menu to know what you’re gonna order when you reach the front counter they take their time with you when you order and are very informative when you ask questions about the menu. They give you a number and bring you your food, hot and fresh and made to order. there’s a seating area outside with some fun stuff for the kids and also lots of seating inside. It gets very busy in the evening time so expect a line when you go in, but it’s definitely worth the wait!

Athens Gem: Cali N Tito's Exceeded the Hype! My friends in Athens told me so much about Cali N Tito's, but even they couldn't express just how great this place is! For my first visit, it didn't just meet my high expectations, it completely blew them out of the water. The atmosphere is an incredible experience itself. It’s got this wonderfully laid-back, vibrant, and authentic vibe—like stepping into a Tropical, Vibrant Open-Air Spot. The colorful, eclectic decor (especially the picnic tables painted with flags from different countries) and the open-air feel create a fun, inclusive, and lively setting. It’s the perfect place to hang out, relax, and just soak up the local Athens charm. This commitment to a great experience starts at the top: I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Bruno Rubio, who is truly fantastic and incredibly passionate about both his customers and delivering delicious food. But the food... wow. Everything was amazing. I tried two of their classics and they were flavor explosions. The Fish Tacos were perfectly grilled, fresh, and paired with that killer chipotle sauce—they’re an absolute must-try. I also had the Original Cuban sandwich, and it was pure perfection: savory grilled pork and ham, pressed just right with pickles, mustard, and Swiss cheese. From the incredible flavor and freshness of the food to the fantastic, unique atmosphere, Cali N Tito's is a true 5-star standout. I already can't wait for my next visit!

As you can tell from the pictures, this place is more about the experience than the food. No idea who thought of the decorations, but it's quite eclectic. School buses, picnic tables, barrels, old movies playing on projectors, arcade games, all in really bright colors... something else. You order your food at the counter, get a table number stand, and then find a seat; they bring your food to you later. No refills except for tea and water; the water is available at spigots attached to the support columns with barrels underneath. Yeah, really. Food was good. Not fantastic, but good. There is a playground area outside for kids; truth be told, I'm not sure if it's a legit playground or yet another aspect of the decorations, but it's there. Seats aren't very comfortable. It's either picnic tables or fairly flimsy chairs like you'd have at an outdoor program. I was pretty uncomfortable after a few minutes, but I like to sit back and lounge in a chair. If you don't mind leaning forward your whole meal, you'll be fine. A fun experience: emphasis on experience.

Restaurant has fun appearance and feel. Line to order food moved way too slow. Leche de tigre citrus marinade was way too strong on my order, all 5 us tried it at our table and couldn't eat it. However all our other meals were good. Really liked the Cuban sandwich and creme brule cheesecake.

Super unique setting with incredible food. The staff are friendly and the service is great — note this is not fast food but the prepared to order high quality dishes are worth the wait. There is nothing like it around.

the best Cuban i’ve ever had. Went for the first time with my dad yesterday and had to come back again today. Will be coming back later this week too. I’ve never left a review before but this was so damn good I had to.

We love coming here!! The food is incredible, the kids love the coin-op machines, and even my father-in-law (who didn’t eat any Mexican or Latin American food for 60 years) now counts this as one of his favorite restaurants!

Hands down my go-to spot in Athens. The space just feels right. It’s warm, comfortable, the kind of place where you can kick back with friends for hours after stressful day of classes.. Their cubanos are legitimately mouth drooling, and the banana shake is great; this place is def my favorite spot in Athens!!

This is the bigger location of the two with more seating and parking! The decorations inside are so nice and such a fun environment! I got the cubano sandwich with fries! The pink sauce is yummy and sometimes I like to throw in an empanada - beef is my favorite! Service can be a bit slow if it is a busy day like game day! But overall an Athens staple!

The at Atmosphere is Amazing. The food is authentic & absolutely delicious This is one of my favorite places to eat at

Really cool place. I love the decor with all the flags. You order at the bar and they give you a number to put on your table. Had one missing meal that was corrected in a timely manner. The food was good. Wife loved their Cuban sandwich. Only thing I would change is more fruit flavor in the margaritas.

Great vibes inside and outside! Very cool decorations everywhere. Good service and tasty food at great prices.

We had an enjoyable lunch here. You look at the menu and order up front. At lunch they have a listing of a main, side, and drink. After you pay they give you a number and they will bring out your food. It took about five minutes to get our food. We both ordered the beef empanadas with yuca fries. The two empanadas were delicious along with the yuca fries. Noticed the torta and the burritos looked good around us. Be sure to order a couple extra sauces for your yuca and entree. Goes great on everything. Complete different ambiance than their other location near campus. Indoors and neatly decorated.

Definitely an Athens staple and one of my favorite places to go! The ambiance is truly one of a kind and such a fun environment. I can't complain about the service because I went during prime time on a Saturday so the line was quite long and we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. The food was worth the wait per usual and I have no complaints. The steak Cubano and fish burrito are too tier!

The outside looks like a place you would see in PCB. Cute, personable and different. Walking in it reminded me of my local norcross Spanish flea market. The marking strategy on this bad boy is well put. They threw things on the wall but things that work well. I've been to multiple restaurants where they try that strategy and it looks tacky. Not here. It's a vibe. The service: it's a pay and order first and they bring the food. There's no waitress/er, so if you're waiting for sauces and/or drinks best believe you'll have to get up and speak up about it. The food: the food was flavorful and a huge variety. From Cuban, Peruvian, Salvadoran, and more. The drinks: this is the SPOT for good drinks. They have a full bar but they cater more to the list of drinks they have. It's a spot worth checking out in the area. Unique and tasteful.

I've been going to CnT for about 10 years now and it hits every time. I literally don't have a bad experience. Every time there's a mishap or something they always make it right. The food is amazing, even the wings are delicious. The decorations at this location are super cool and makes the experience fun.

Cali n Tito's was my favorite restaurant while I was a college student in Athens, and it's the only restaurant I come back to eat at whenever I'm in town. Years ago, I used to frequent both locations and always brought visitors to try it. I bragged on Cali n Tito's to all my friends. They have such a diverse menu, and there's so many different things you can try. I've yet to eat something I didn't like, but my personal favorites are the Cuban sandwich (steak, chicken, or chorizo- all of them are good), fish tacos, or the fish burrito. And of course, I love finishing off my meal with the churro and ice cream for dessert. Coming back after years of being away, I will say I've noticed a huge jump in their prices. They have lunch specials which include a side and drink with your entree for a slightly better price than at dinner. But, I still found it to be very expensive for a college town especially, but also for a lunch special. Maybe it's because I remember how much it used to cost though. I also noticed portion sizes are significantly smaller than before. However, maybe out of sentimental value, I don't mind it so much and would still come back to eat here any time I'm in town. The food is still so good and one of a kind. I love the sauce that they include for the Cuban sandwiches and fish taco/burrito. You can always ask for more sauce on the side and they don't charge you. Their fries are cooked perfectly. They're actually one of my favorite fries. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating and spread apart from others so you get your privacy. There's also plenty of parking.

This is my second time coming here and it was just as fun as the first time. They are all decked out for Halloween, so it is definitely an interesting place to visit. You stand in line and order at the counter. They give you your drinks and a number and you find a table. Your food is brought out to your table. I had the original Cubano this time and my son had the steak Cubano. I also had the steak Cubano last time I was there. Both are good but I think the steak one is more flavorful. This is the place to come for good food and a really fun time eating. My son is in school at UGA and it is one of his favorite places to dine.

Food was very tasty, but quantities are small for the prices. Try the Chaufa (fried Rice) and the Seafood Lo Main. Service: Non existent. Order at the counter, they bring it to your table, never to return. Leftovers to take away?!? Don't even think about it Ambiance: It's Supposed to be Peruvian, Cuban...err..it's actually "Confusingly" Folkloric! I recommend this restaurant..the food is tasty!!

This place is one of the gems of Athens, at either location (although the east side one is much more accessible, as they have a much larger parking lot). I always get the Cuban Especial sandwich, but everything else I've tried is also praise-worthy. The decor is delightfully over the top, especially at Halloween. Where do they store all the giant monsters in the off-season? A great mystery. Cali n' Tito's boasts great flavors and fun atmosphere, and it's almost always packed, for good reason.

Food: - empanadas were a good size and solid. They did not have chorizo and found the beef and chicken kind of plain--wish they had some with a little more flavor - Queso was great and had a kick to it. Tiny tiny portion. Service: - did not fill our basket of chips very full but did come around to refill it. It is an order at the window so service is not a huge component Ambiance: - love the decoration and plenty of seating

My first experience in this restaurant, let's start with what was good, the guava empanadas were good. The Cuban we ordered somehow had jalapenos on it not supposed to come without jalapenos. The burger that was ordered not only came out dry overcooked but did not have the jalapenos on it they were supposed to be on it ( The menu states that it has jalapenos ) The other items or just bland I don't think I'll be making a second trip.

Cali N Tito's is one of my favorite places to go in Athens. The ambiance here is really special as they have great decorations and plenty of seating inside and a nice outdoor area too. The line can get long at times but they have some pretty fast service so you won't be waiting too long. The food here is amazing. I have always gotten the Arroz Chaufa because if I'm there I can't pass up the opportunity to miss it, but I'm sure the other food here is great. I love the plantains and the spicy habanero sauce which comes with it and for the price it's a great value. When in Athens I'm always sure to take a visit to Cali N Tito's and you should too!

fun cuban place! when i first walked in i was not expecting what i saw. big open space with fun decors everywhere. you order up front and find your seat after. food was delicious! we all loved our choices! would def come back cause there were so many options to choose from.

When I walked in, where were so many tables which is a plus for me!! The place was so large, it left me surprised. So if y'all haven't been here, you order at the register and they'll bring you your food to your table. The menu is mostly in English, but some parts were in Spanish. And for someone who doesn't understand a lot of Spanish, it was a bit hard but the cashier was super nice about it and laughed. The food came out pretty fast and was really good. I got the al pastor quesadilla with fries and a drink. The fries were super crispy and were not like any other fries I've ever had. Overall, I would definitely come back here!! Service and quality did not disappoint !!!

I got the al pastor cuban sandwich and al pastor quesedillas. The quesedillas didn't even have cheese in them and tasted so off. The cuban sandwich was just bland and has something off about it, the sauce can barely make it much better. Something about the food here ALWAYS disappoints me. I went to Cali N' Titos in 2018, and was disappointed by the flavor, it's just bland and feels like it's missing something. It was the same thing in 2019 when I decided to give it another chance, disappointing again. And guess what happened in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 the one time I went per year? Yep, I was highly disappointed in the flavors again. I will actually never come back. My friends wanted to go here for a special occasion and even they said the food was underwhelming this time. Service is just ok, one year we had this lady who seemed to hate her job and always gave an attitude. Environment is ok, the lighting makes me uneasy, the bathrooms are dirty as heck, and there was a dead roach sitting in the right urinal in their bathroom.

The food was great (highly recommend the fish tacos and fries with pink sauce). I love the eclectic decor, and all the lights they currently have up during the holidays. Just FYI, this location does NOT do BYOB like the 5 Points location (but they do have a full bar). No complaints about the service; they were happy to answer questions. Great place for groups and parties.

We visited this restaurant twice in 3 days! Obviously, because of the food. Service was good for the large number of people they were serving. Most impressive is the ambience! Inside the restaurant you feel like you're outdoor. That is a lot of natural light, high ceiling, lots plants. Decor is wonderful! A must visit if you're in the area. A totally different vibe than their other location.

Sooooo much fun! Food sooo good! Employees and family members working here, such good attitudes and great smiles. Food is fresh and delicious. Staff goes out of their way to provide service. Lucky crowd of families , and couples. Decor lots of fun. Complimented the owner and he was super nice and genuine. We don't live nearby but we will be back!

Huge spot with great food. Upon arriving there was a line (counter service) but not too bad. I was really irritated about the hanging menus here as I found it hard to read and stand especially as the line moved. Then I learned they were clipped up so you could take them (palm to forehead). Totally on me. The cashier was a bit stand offish (she made a big deal when I asked for no sugar in a mojito) but all other staff were very warm. Maybe not her day. They don't have a skinny margarita so I did opt for the mojito as I said. It was good but not worth the price I believe. Their house margaritas looked like a hit as did their speciality and frozen ones. Tons of potential there! The chips and salsa was great- fresh and plentiful. I got the tilapia salad add avocado and it was a hit. Lovely greens and ripe avocado. Nice dressing. The tacos looked good too. The place is huge. Probably good for games and events/gatherings- both big and small. It was a bit overwhelming inside as they have a ton of quarter driven kids rides and weird giant moving holiday decor. Love the kid friendly atmosphere but it's a bit busy for me. Overall, great food and a fun atmosphere that's welcoming to all. Cheers to that!

An Athens local's favorite!! Every time I go to Athens, I crave their cubano sandwich - it's that iconic. This location is particularly fun and a cool contrast to their other location on South Lumpkin. The South Lumpkin spot is small and gives you local restaurant vibes (think bringing your family there on a Sunday), but this location is humongous and almost a different vibe (think coming here with friends on a Friday night) - it's dark inside and there's music and cool decorations all around. There's plenty of designated parking outside too. Only downsides is that there isn't cell service inside for some reason, and it can get pretty loud so you might have trouble having conversation. Also this isn't a place that you can make reservations for, so always come earlier than you think - lines can be really long to order and it can be hard to find a table, even though it's a big space. After you order, they give you your number and water cups to fill from the tap above barrels around the store, and you grab your own napkins too. The food itself is *chef's kiss* and never disappoints. It tastes the same every time. My personal favorites are the steak cubano and the arroz chaufa. The fries and the maduros are fantastic. You get a better bang for your buck if you come here during lunch - lunch prices include a drink and a side. Not sure if they still have this, but I also remember there being an ice cream stand inside to the side that sold popsicles. Grabbing a bite at Cali n Tito's is a non-negotiable when you're in Athens!

Very unique spot. From the time you enter the parking lot , until you leave. Great atmosphere. The line is pretty long, and the girl ringing orders pretty slow. So that made sense as to why the line was long. Loved the habanero salsa. All of the food was pretty great. Exception, Mexican cebiche, too much corn. Yuca frites, inconsistently chopped and, therefore, cooked. Wouldn't order either again, personally. The Mexican cebiche was very refreshing. Just too much corn for me. Love their beans, white rice, and the burrito was pretty great. Guava margarita was tasty. Pitcher is mostly ice, go with a cup. Not too sweet or too much lemon for our group. A nice balance.

Fun with good food! This place was all we expected and more. Took a large group after a volleyball tournament and everyone was pleased. We waited a bit to order in line but then the food came to the table so fast. Very fresh ingredients and amazing taste. I would definitely recommend the margaritas and chips with queso.

I absolutely LOVE this spot. The inside is spacious, the music is great, and the service is fast. I love how you order your food upon entry and sit down to wait for it vs just sitting and getting served the traditional way. I tried 2 different bar drinks and both were good. Packed with a punch & inexpensive! The food is seasoned to perfection, the fries were so good didn't even need ketchup... that says ALOT! All in all if you haven't been, put this spot on your list to try and it's a guarantee you'll be hooked.

Good food, really fun atmosphere. The prices are also good. Will return when we are back in Athens

A local Mexican spot that's not only filling, the atmosphere is filled with character and charm. The steak cubano was packed with steak along with the burrito. The tostanos were crispy (a bit of a bummer that there was only 3), as well as the yuca, and potatoes fries. The limeade helped cut the heaviness of the meat along with the sauces.

I may have done a review years ago, but we went there again this weekend and it's simply outstanding food. Great atmosphere, clean, great staff....very helpful. Sandwiches are just great, I had the cubano (? spelling ?) with steak. Very reasonably priced. Wish we had one in Savannah, GA!!! We'll be back.

All vegetarian party, all vegetarian orders, they brought us dishes with meat hidden inside. We left. Yuck. Never coming back.

The food is always great. I couldn't give it five stars because although the decor is fun and interesting, it is hard for me to give a restaurant a 5 when you get water from a spigot. It's fine for the atmosphere they are going, but I would prefer they had a soda fountain.

We went on a Saturday for lunch and altho it was quite empty, the service was a bit slow. The food came out amazing tho. I had the fish burrito and i'm still dreaming about it a week later ha! The ambiance looks fun. Colorful. I bet it's more fun in the evenings. Can't wait to go back and order a different food.

As you're pulling up to the parking lot, you'll notice that this restaurant has the tropical ambience down packed. There are palm trees everywhere and colorful decor playfully scattered around. The building itself is brightly colored and unlike the others in the area. You know the inside will be fun, but once you walk in, it's like nothing you could've anticipated. There's high ceilings, tables everywhere, a fountain in the middle, and lots and lots of decorations. It feels like you're in a lively plaza at night that's buzzing with people and music. You place your orders at the counter, and they'll bring your food to you. My friend and I showed up around 6 PM on a Sunday, and the line to order took about 15 minutes. As we ate, the line got longer, so I'd recommend getting there early. We got steak cubanos, chips & queso, and a frozen watermelon margarita. The steak cubano was delicious. The bread is soft and a little crispier on the outside, and the sauce brings everything together. You can ask for extra jalapeños if you're looking for more spice. The queso was runnier than I'm used to, but the flavor was great. It also came with a small cup of salsa. The margarita was tasty and not overly sweet. I want to try the guava one next time. Even though I was pretty hungry, and the cubano was so good, eating half of it made me full, and I ended up taking the other half to-go. It's a pretty hefty sandwich for only ~$7! I'd highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Though the cubano is a must-have, the rest of the menu has a lot to offer too. Plus, it's not everyday that you get transported to a completely different place while you're eating.

The memories that flooded into my mind after one taste of the beef empanadas reminded me of my Puerto Rican Grandmother's homemade empanadas. The empanadas were flaky on the outside and the beef filling was extremely flavorful. It's easy to see that lots of love has gone into their recipes. Upon arrival, expect to wait in line where you will place your order and then seat yourself. We arrived with a large group. Several of our friends went to the bar and ordered drinks including beer, margaritas (lime was the best!) and the pina coladas were tasty! If you are in a smaller group, I would definitely hit the bar before standing in line to order your food. Seating has endless options including a beautiful patio outside. The atmosphere is a lot of fun and includes great music, twinkle and neon lighting, tropical plants and trees, and a beautiful fountain water feature. We had a variety of the menu items including chips and Queso, chips and pico (with chunks of avocado- so good!), chicken and beef empanada, guava and cheese empanadas, fish tacos, tostones, burritos and milanesa. The talipa on the fish taco was grilled perfectly! The Guava and Cheese desert empanadas were incredibly unique and delicious! The Queso was one of my favorite cheese dips that I've ever tasted. The staff was friendly and offered advice on ordering. This Latin flare is a must visit in Athens. This is by far one of my favorite places with an incredible selections of food and beverage in a college town. Give it a try! You will NOT be disappointed.

This is my favorite place to bring when I have guests visiting the city. I have been coming here for 4 years and have never gotten a steak cubano that has disappointed me. I love the vibe in this restaurant and how there is an endless amount of interesting decorations. For birthdays, they have a a traditional Chinese lion dance costume coupled with drums played for the special occasion. I will keep coming here every time I visit Athens!

The food is great. The service is usually good. But ordering To Go orders at this location is pointless. What do you mean I have to wait in line at the bar behind 15 other people who can place regular orders, when I called ahead? Now my food is cold. It's absurd. If you're placing a takeout order, I would not do it here.

I used to frequent this place but recently the quality and quantity has gone down and the price has gone up. $16 for lunch for a small fish burrito and measly three pieces of maduros. I had to ask for the drink that came with the combo. No thanks, I get better value and food from other places.

Cali N Tito's is definitely an Athens must if you're in town! I ordered take out on a Friday night and my food was ready in no more than 25 minutes. This location is always really good on their serving time! I was tempted to sit inside because of the lively atmosphere! I ordered one chicken empanada and it was 10/10! I'm normally a beef empanada kinda girl but this has definitely made me change my mind. It was stuffed just enough, but still had the crispiness that I feel like is important in a good empanada. I cannot come to Cali N Tito's without order maduros, and much as I had suspected it was so good! Sweet and fluffy! Probably my favorite place to get maduros. I normally get their quesadillas, but today I decided to be different and try their criollo sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely a very good portion, I found myself not being able to finish the whole thing and only eating half. Bread was well toasted and the sauce on the inside was too die for! This may be my new favorite thing on the menu.

Didn't know what to expect so was very surprised. Good food and environment. Stop in for good food and eclectic place

There is plenty of parking right by the restaurant. You order food at the bar/front and then you find an available table to sit. The server will bring the food based on the number the cashier gives you. There are seating areas indoor and outdoor. The inside decorations is really nice, it kept my sons entertained. There is a variety of drinks available, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. Chips and salsa: nice and warm and the salsa taste great! There is cilantro sprinkled on top of the chips. So if you aren't a cilantro fan be sure let them know. Beef Cuban sandwich: meat is very well seasoned and slightly spicy. There is also cilantro sprinkled on top of this sandwich. Fish taco: soooo good! This has been my craving and the whole reason we made the trip to Athens. Highly recommend! Beef empanada: so good! Nice and seasoned, the outside is perfectly crispy. Freshly made so it's nice and warm! Fried rice: it's on the kids menu. It has a weird taste to it...not quite sure what it is. But we only took two bites from this. Could just be the seasoning is different from what we prefer. The margaritas are delicious! We got a strawberry mango margarita on the rocks: delicious and strong! Watermelon frozen margarita: not as strong but super delicious as well! Definitely drink it slow or you will get a brain freeze. Only thing that was kind of questionable is the water, it looks like it's just tap water...to me I thought it was a hand washing station. So I opted to get sweet tea for my son.

One of the best spots to eat at in athens. Amazing sandwiches and limeade. The atmosphere and staff give off a fun and welcoming aura.

This is one of my favorite places to eat if I'm not trying to break the bank. I prefer this location over the South Lumpkin one because the food quality has varied a lot everytime I've been to that one. That one is also cash only and has a smaller parking lot. This location has a better interior (jam-packed with really funky decorations and a fountain! Also way bigger), bathroom, and quicker service. I also feel like the cleanliness of this location is better. When you get the lunch special, it's about $9 per person for a LARGE portion of food. The cuban sandwich is my favorite by far to get, in particular the steak. If you don't know what to get, you can't go wrong with the cuban sandwich. It's big and I can only finish it when I'm really hungry. My friends with smaller appetites usually take some of it to go as leftovers. The cuban sandwich is messy to eat but so delicious and so filling. I like to get the fries as the side. The special also comes with a drink, but I prefer water. The pink sauce is awesome! I've also tried to maduros and that's good too as a side. This is an Athens favorite and I know why! Also you order at the bar/cash register area, they give you a number sign, and you sit at a table and wait. It's usually not a long wait. This place can get really crowded, so my favorite time to go is usually around 2-3 PM. It's a lot less busy then.

If you want to experience food from another country, like Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, without leaving the USA, GO TO CALI N TITO'S. I give this experience six stars out of five!!!!!!! It is as on point as it gets. Look at this picture: it says it all.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. I love the staff at CNT- everyone is always very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend their Peruvian ceviche.

Did this place get me through college? Yes. Do I shamefully make the hour drive once or twice a year to Athens just to eat here again? Yes. What can I say. I LOVE this place. Every time I walk in so many memories of college come flooding back. It is fabulously decorated with random junk. From a boat and a bike hanging from the ceiling, to a water fixture in the middle of the floor. The food is always hot and delicious and the pink sauce is addicting. It's just great place to grab a cubano sandwich, a grapefruit Jarrito, and just enjoy life. I beg you go and see for yourself! They also now have outside pickup around the side if you are not comfortable entering restaurant. They will bring the card scanner out to you along with your food. Super convenient.

Of the multiple times I've been to Cali N Tito's, I'm shocked I rarely ever take a picture of my plate, but this plate has been one of the best I've ever had. Frankly, you can't go wrong with Cali N Tito's if you're ever in Athens. They have 2 locations (one of them only takes cash so beware) and they are both really nice. I've never had an unpleasant experience with them. I'll say that the food does take some time to come out, and there is no service inside of the restaurant but that adds to the experience because you can't be on your phone while there. There's always music, someone's birthday celebration, and it is just so colorful and full of fiesta. I've had their cubanos, empanadas, tilapia, and my go-to order which is their quesadilla and it hits EVERY TIME except once during the earlier stages of the pandemic, I had a to-go order and they messed up my quesadilla order and I only realized by the time I got home. Anyway, this is one of the BEST Latin American restaurants I've ever been to and would make the trip everytime I crave their food, even if I'm an hour away

my boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and got recommended this place for mexican food. was it worth the drive? YES! the burrito was super good and great for leftovers!

Many options at this cute Athens restaurant -diverse menu, family friendly, good drinks, but best of all it has plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas and fans to keep diners safe. You still have to mask-up and go inside to let them know you are ready to order and refill your own drinks. Food: 4/5. Family members order and like a variety of ethnic and standard sandwiches, but the only menu item I like best so far is the Tilapia salad (two large pieces of fish and good dressing.) Service:4/5 Food comes pretty quickly -if you are outside, sometimes they forget to check on your group for beverages, etc. After they serve you -BUT getting restaurant help is difficult everywhere and I'm just thankful they will still serve your food outside Facility: Cutesy Decor. 3/5 Inside -lots of entertaining things to keep kids busy and it's crowded, with minimal furniture, and noisy-but it's fun. 3/5 Outside-basically rough picnic tables but with umbrellas and fans. Palm trees and sand. Some street noise but that's covered by the large fans in the summer. Plenty of parking. Location. 4/5. Not downtown so it has plenty of parking in its own lot. Some shaded spots. Off a pretty busy street and easy to find if you drive. School bus traffic during school year.
