Hands down best Mexican restaurant in Athens. Their mango margarita is the greatest flavor on the menu. If you want to try something new, just order the Molcajetazo (see description below):
Big stone bowl. Bowl of salsa, grilled chicken, pork rib, Mexican sausage, grilled shrimp, nopal, jalapeno, onions, and fried cheese quesadilla. Served with rice, beans, and salad. (Handmade tortillas).
Listen... this bowl is OUTSTANDING! It has such a great variety of different meats, veggies, and even fried quesadillas. What I love most is you can order the regular size bowl and it will feed two people and the food will stay warm while you eat. If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out!
OMG I thought I’m in Mexico! The best place to eat when you don’t know what you want. Great staffs and awesome food! Definitely come back soon, again and again!
The food was delicious. We got the mixed fajitas for two. It was the most steak and chicken I've ever gotten at a restaurant for fajitas. The margaritas were great tasting yet strong. They accidentally put tajin instead of salt around the rim but I think that made it even better and I've never had tajin. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back.
It was super last minute visit but they were kind and lovely ♥️ they made sure we were satisfied
We were here for the third time this past weekend, and it was outstanding! The food was superb! Service and atmosphere were amazing. You can tell that the owner and staff not only take pride in serving fantastic, authentic dishes, but they truly care about their customers. We can't wait to come back.
Authentic Mexican fare. Even the environment is authentic.
Warm flavors with fresh ingredients.
Flavorful but not overpowering spices. Nice balance. Lots of choices and sauces- green sauce, red sauce etc. The menu must be 20 pages long.
All the positive indicators were there. A full restaurant, and a full parking lot. Many of the patrons were Hispanic which tells me that the food must be fairly authentic.
This is not a fancy place, but comfortable and festive. It has that crowded, I've been here a while kind of feel to it.
I loved the servers and the staff. They were bustling around full of energy and smiles.
This is very convenient as well. It's just off the Chase Street exit. The bright colored building stands out. There's plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot slightly up the hill.
If you want to look like you're a regular then use the middle door. If you want to look like a newbie, try the other doors!
Good food in a nice comfortable environment. It's not fancy! But it's good!
Best Mexican food ever. I have not seen many of these authentic dishes that they serve in other Mexican restaurants. Every item on the menu that we ordered was delicious. Especially fried Fish in Diablo sauce.
My family enjoys every excuse to go to Tlaloc, and I hadn’t even realize my original review for them never posted. I’m posting pictures from a dine-in experience a month ago and a to-go experience this week. You’ll notice an abundance of chimichangas. Pork is my favorite, but the steak is also well done. I usually go with a shrimp dish, so I like the quesadilla, the cocktail, and the seafood fajitas, which also include squid and fish. Unlimited horchatas is certainly a way to my heart as well. My kids tend to eat the basic quesadilla and fries. There are so, so many things on the menu though that it can definitely be overwhelming. Go anyways. Look at pictures. Ask for recommendations. They are also almost always packed, but we have always been able to find parking, even at the far end of their side gravel lot. I recommend trying them out. Always a good time.
We had the tacos and pupusas. highly recommend the pupusas. They bring you fresh chips and salsa. The employees are really attentive! The place is really fun, they had good music on!
This place come highly recommended from the folks at the Holiday Inn. I knew when we walked in the door it was going to be a good meal. We ask our waitress to bring us the hottest hot sauce she could find. And boy did she ever. It’s a family run business and we really enjoyed our food and investing with our server.
