    I thought this was a great standout place. Very cute and photogenic on the inside and delicious food on the inside. I would 10/10 recommend.

    The food was amazing, the marg flight is a super deal but the service was slow. Definitely check it out, when we went it was extremely busy.

    Food is delicious I ordered Cancun!…read moreGrilled chicken, steak y shrimp w side of cactus y zucchini. Topped with a grilled jalapeño y onion! Several salsa's were available. It included a bowl of Chorizo Cheese dip y tortillas. The Mango Margarita was fabulous!!I opted for a taking a tajin rim. I will probably order one every time! Servers were attentive y gave excellent service. Overall great experience!!

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Athens, Tlaloc El Mexicano Restaurant should be at…read morethe top of your list. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place is a local favorite. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the menu offers a great selection of traditional Mexican dishes, along with a few Salvadoran influences that make it even more unique. One of the highlights of the evening was meeting the owner, Antonio Ramirez. Throughout the meal, he made his way around the restaurant, stopping at each table with a smile to ask how everything was and to make sure guests were enjoying themselves. That level of personal attention is becoming increasingly rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares about both the food and the customer experience. It's also obvious that the local college crowd has discovered this gem. There were plenty of students enjoying dinner, and it seemed like the margaritas were especially popular--particularly when Mom and Dad were picking up the tab! Fortunately, the margaritas are well worth it, with generous pours and plenty of options to choose from. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Most importantly, the flavors felt authentic and homemade rather than the typical chain restaurant version of Mexican food.

    Hit the trifecta for everything you don't want in a dining experience:…read more Quality: Seriously would have been more satisfied if we had gone to the Taco Bell up the street. Quantity/portions: Embarrassingly puny (not that you'd really want more of it). Price/value: Outrageously overpriced, especially considering how the food tastes and how much of it you get. Clearly seems to be more of a sports bar / hangout (e.g., big TVs everywhere, dance club music) and a place to have Mexican cocktails than a serious "taqueria." To be fair, though, and this is why they get two stars and not just one: The service was friendly and attentive.

    Came to Raffery's for dinner tonight with my family. Everything from the food to the service was…read morefantastic! Our table was wobbly and without any issues Chris, or server was kind and cleaned a round table for us. The manager assisted us and helped us move our drinks and plates to our new table. I ordered the Russtler's Roost salmon tonight with the lime green beans. My salmon was perfectly cooked and it had a fantastic char to it. The glaze that came on the salmon was delicious! My husband ordered the rib eye. Awesome piece of steak with perfect char marks. Chris, our server was sweet and attentive! Our drinks never ran dry and she always had a beautiful smile on her face! It was a great dinner!

    I did a togo order. So I will not be posting pics to be fair. This was my first time getting food…read morefrom the restaurant. The flavors were very good. The chorizo cheese dip had a little spice to it on the back end. It was a little too watery but with a good mix up it got better. The portion size ( got the small) was a bit disappointing. I chose the Texas fajitas. The meats ( chic steak and shrimp ) were seasoned and tender. The shrimp was just 4 pieces. Again the portion size. Under the proteins were the seasoned onions. I elected not to get bell peppers. The juice that formed with the onions was very good. They provide rice and refried beans on the side as well as lettuce and chopped tomatoes. The portion of rice beans and the melted cheese was small. They only give you three tortillas and I feel it should be 4. You have to think about the " stuff " to tortilla ratio. They give you a big bag of plain nacho chips. Plain. Not salted. We also got an order of the flan. Kind of small but good taste. The whipped cream and chocolate sauce was in a little plastic ramican the size of a papa John sauce so again one bite and you have used it up and the flan to whipped cream " ratio" is not there. I would definitely try them again for a meal on premises to get the sizzle and presentation. Once I do I will update the score if it is necessary.
