I got the shredded chicken and steak tacos and a side of chorizo refried beans. The ingredients were fresh, the salsas had the perfect amount of spice.

The restaurant was clean and I like that during cooler days like yesterday they open the restaurant to the outside so there's a nice breeze and vibe.

We went on Monday but they were slim on pickings, so the butcher told us to come back Tuesday since they make them fresh then so we returned and it was worth it!

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.

You can call ahead for pickup or eat there (it's attached to a convenience store/gas station but there is some seating inside). It's not fancy, but it's comfortable and relaxed. The staff are always friendly. The toppings are fresh and delicious and the salsas are particularly good. (Are they made in-house?) I think it's a terrific value: lunch or dinner is considerably cheaper than the table-service mexican places and (IMHO) the food is better here. I got a lot of takeaway during the pandemic when I had to stay home and it was a lifeline-- thank you for keeping my family fed on the nights I was too tired to cook!

It almost beat us to the table.They give you a very generous serving amd very crispy chips. I ordered the roasted chicken enchiladas with beef chili topping, turnip greens, and shrimp and corn chowder. The enchilada is my go to meal. It was very delicious and consistent. The last couple times I have ordered the shrimp and corn chowder it was lacking SHRIMP. It used to be another go to, but I do not think I will order again. The turnip greens were salty. I will probably not order those again either. My Honey got the brisket tacos and the refried beans and rice combo. He said it was all very tasty. He did give me a bite. Neither one of us finished our meals. Like I said, very GENEROUS portions! Go and visit. It is worth the trip. Pay attention to the hours. They close during the afternoon for a few hours a day then reopen at night. The only complaint I really have this time is our dishes piled up on the table even though several servers walked by empty handed.

I didn't know what I was missing!!! I'm not usually a big fan of Mexican food but I do like Chile Rellenos so I decided to go ahead and try it out. They didn't have Chile Rellenos on the menu but they have a whole lot of other delicious looking food to choose from. I had no trouble finding something I loved. I ordered the house salad. I know that sounds boring and ordinary but let me tell you, I've never seen a salad like this. It was really big and it had all kinds of good stuff on it. It even has little tiny tortilla chips in it. They added a good crunch to the salad. They offer I think three different types of dressing for the salad. I don't usually use dressing on my salads. I chose the avocado dressing. It was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. I used the whole cup. That's very unusual for me like I said I don't usually like any dressing on my salads. I highly recommend this restaurant, you won't be disappointing by anything they have to offer.

Eating one, I was full as it is jam packed. I think what impressed me in comparison to the good mexican places I go regularly, and thoroughly enjoy, is that we were the only people in the place ordering food (college beer pitcher night) and our food took almost 15 mins to come out...because it was cooked to order, piping hot, and ridiculously good. 3 barria tacos, plus a plate of rice and beans, for $18 is 4 meals of heaven for a normal person. My college kid will eat rice and beans for breakfast and have 2 tacos as leftovers - money ridiculously well spent, especially for that flavor. Next trip to see my kid, I'm absolutely coming back here! # BirriaBaby!
