    Here's what Yelp some reviewers said:

    • "Whenever we pass thru Athens GA we have to stop at Cali N Tito's for the amazing Mexican Food. The Tamales are delicious! Also, we stop before we get there at the liquor store to pick up some Mexican Beer, then pay the bottle fee at the restaurant since the last time we went the do not serve beer."
    • "Just found my new favorite Cubano at Cali N Titos on South Lumpkin St in Athens! Slightly edging out The Havana Sandwich Shop in Atlanta because the sandwich just THAT good. The bread is perfectly pressed, and the ham, pork, and cheese blend in with just the right amount of mustard. The original location might be smaller, but it's packed with charm inside and out. Plenty of benches outside and cozy tables inside. The chicken empanadas are great, and I have no doubt the beef are just as tasty. Don't miss out on the mora juice (blackberry) - I'll be ordering it every time, don't miss out on that drink. The tostones are a must-try, and the flan hits the spot. Order up front and grab your number, the staff will bring your food out to your table."

    Whether local or just passing through, Cali N Tito's is a must-visit spot for Latin American cuisine in Athens.
