Come for the papusas!…read more Came by for lunch to try some menu items thinking it'll be quick as advertised. I would say the foods are pretty authentic though I would question the "fast". I had a 45 min break and the food took a good 30 minutes. We got the chicharron and cheese pupusas. Ordered 1 and ended up with 4, there's a small language barrier, pork tamales, and a burrito plate. I would probably only go back for the papusas. They were hot and fresh. Came with the pickled veges and sauce. Burrito was good and came covered with yummy cheese but left a bit to be desired. Located in a gas station you place your order at the counter and pay at the gas station register. There's one table but it was covered with merchandise. The gas station interior has always been very tight so definitely something they need to work on. You wouldn't be able to eat in comfortably.

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.
