    Amazing house salsa, tasty quesadillas and well-marinated steak tacos. Guacamole was bland so we added some salsa and salt to jazz it up. Very small establishment so the entry doors blow in cool air during the colder months. Bring a sweater.

    We stopped here to escape the hurricane in GA. The food was so good and exceptional service! Our server was very attentive and polite. Wish we had this place where we are from!

    We were staying nearby for work and this place was walkable (like less than a min walk) so we gave…read moreit a shot. We absolutely loved it! The environment is bright & lively.. just fun. We went twice and had a few different dishes (Fajitas, Quesadilla & Texas Dip) and they all were great. The Texas Dip was a meal in itself and I loved it. The real star is the staff - they were all amazing and it's obvious they have fun at their job which is rare to see. A special call out to the Bartenders, as we sat at the bar both times - they were so kind and helpful. If we lived in the area this would be a regular stop for us.. sadly we live about 8 hours away. To anyone in Commerce, I highly recommend it for a fun, casual, delicious and fairly priced meal.

    We decided to try this newly remodeled restaurant on a Friday night. The space looks beautiful, and…read morethe evening started off well--but unfortunately, the service at the end completely ruined the experience. When placing our order, we asked if the shrimp in the Pollo à la Piña could be replaced with an extra side of chicken. Our server said we would be charged an additional fee for the chicken, which we understood--but he also refused to remove the cost of the shrimp we were not getting. When we questioned this, his response was simply, "that's not how it's done." We let it go and continued with dinner. About 30 minutes went by, and our server never checked on us once. When we needed the bill, we had to ask another waiter to find him. Even then, it took another 15 minutes, during which our server walked past our table visibly upset and ignored us--even when I politely tried to get his attention. When he finally brought the check, he said nothing. After running the card, he returned and literally tossed the receipt onto the table without a single word--not even a "thank you" or "good night." It was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant itself has great potential, and it's clear a lot of effort went into the remodel. However, service like this overshadows everything. As a business owner, I understand how challenging operations can be--but as a customer, this level of service is simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, we won't be returning

    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.
