We stopped in Athens, and decided to look for something good to eat before heading home. This place said it was authentic Mexican food, it was perfect. The food was delicious and exactly like the description, portions were good as well. Definitely our new spot when we come to Athens.

Absolutely in LOVE with their mojarra al mojo de ajo (fried fish with garlic). Throw some salsa verde in there, and I'm HOOKED! It does get very crowded and loud inside, but I cannot argue with the hustle!

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!

Came across this place close to our AirBnb. Nothing special from the outside but went due to great reviews and so glad we did! Walked in at lunchtime and it was packed with locals...knew we made the right choice. Starting with the salsa, nice flavor with a little kick without being too spicy. Mexican tacos were authentic and fantastic. My husband had the whole fish...delicious. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

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.

Authentic Mexican fare. Even the environment is authentic. Warm flavors with fresh ingredients. Flavorful but not overpowering spices. Nice balance. Lots of choices and sauces- green sauce, red sauce etc. The menu must be 20 pages long. All the positive indicators were there. A full restaurant, and a full parking lot. Many of the patrons were Hispanic which tells me that the food must be fairly authentic. This is not a fancy place, but comfortable and festive. It has that crowded, I've been here a while kind of feel to it. I loved the servers and the staff. They were bustling around full of energy and smiles. This is very convenient as well. It's just off the Chase Street exit. The bright colored building stands out. There's plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot slightly up the hill. If you want to look like you're a regular then use the middle door. If you want to look like a newbie, try the other doors! Good food in a nice comfortable environment. It's not fancy! But it's good!

A really great and authentic experience. For $10 each you can split an appetizer, have a couple of tacos each, and split a desert. Great value for what you pay. Best plantains in town without question... Recommended...

My family enjoys every excuse to go to Tlaloc, and I hadn’t even realize my original review for them never posted. I’m posting pictures from a dine-in experience a month ago and a to-go experience this week. You’ll notice an abundance of chimichangas. Pork is my favorite, but the steak is also well done. I usually go with a shrimp dish, so I like the quesadilla, the cocktail, and the seafood fajitas, which also include squid and fish. Unlimited horchatas is certainly a way to my heart as well. My kids tend to eat the basic quesadilla and fries. There are so, so many things on the menu though that it can definitely be overwhelming. Go anyways. Look at pictures. Ask for recommendations. They are also almost always packed, but we have always been able to find parking, even at the far end of their side gravel lot. I recommend trying them out. Always a good time.

Wow… everything about this place was great! The second I walked in I was greeted by everyone. Super friendly atmosphere. And the SALSA!? Was so good I had to take some home with me. I saw a review before posting mine that this is the best Mexican restaurant in Athens, and I have to agree. Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in a very long time!
