“ Tlaloc Mexican Restaurant is a must-try! I had the Molcajete, and it was incredible—huge portion, amazing flavor. The service was so warm, and they even gave us salsa samples, each one better than the last. Definitely the best meal I've had in a long time! Highly recommend! ”
“ Every time I eat here has been a great experience. I personally feel this is the best mexican restaurant in Athens. Their red salsa is amazing. I usually order chicken fajitas and they taste great. Only problem is to watch for cross-contaminaion. Sometimes I find shrimp in my chicken fajitas. ”
“ Not a fancy place, but the food is delicious! I tried combo number 8-One tamale, one huarache, one taco-all fantastic! Plus, I got a chile relleno on the side to try-excellent also. My son loved everything he ordered also. He ordered pupusas and a tinga chicken torta. We’ll be back! We’re rolling out the door because we’re stuffed and very satisfied. ”
“ Good Mexican food. You are served chips and salsa. Prices are reasonable. Everything was flavorful except for the Salvadorian curtido. The curtido was just bland and was not fresh. Will definitely come back. ”
“ Five-Star Review for Tlaloc in Athens, GA Tlaloc is a true hidden gem tucked away in a part of town you might not think twice about, but trust me—it’s worth every second of your visit. This is hands-down one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining at. While the interior might not scream upscale dining, don’t let that intimidate you. The charm of Tlaloc lies in its authenticity and its clear dedication to delivering incredible food. The dish I had was served in a mortar and pestle (I believe it was a molcajete), packed with an array of perfectly cooked meats and flavors that were absolutely phenomenal. The depth and richness of the dish left me floored. You can tell the kitchen pours its heart and soul into every meal they serve. The staff is welcoming and attentive, adding to the experience with a friendly, laid-back vibe that makes you feel at home. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary adventure waiting to be explored. I can’t wait to go back and discover more of their menu. If you’re in Athens and love authentic Mexican cuisine, don’t pass up Tlaloc. It’s an unpolished treasure that focuses on what truly matters—the food. ”
