We love this Cuban restaurant! The food is so good and high quality. You can't beat the price any where! Remember to bring cash and BYOB.

Cali N Tito's
1427 S Lumpkin StWe love this Cuban restaurant! The food is so good and high quality. You can't beat the price any where! Remember to bring cash and BYOB.
This Cali N Tito's is on the East side of Athens. This is a more family friendly place than the one near downtown. But unlike the other location, this place is so uniquely decorated and has a bigger menu. Food is still very good and they do take credit cards here. It's also a great place to watch soccer during World Cup!

This restaurant is perfect for breakfast and lunch. The food is so delicious, fresh, and very healthy. Biscuit is a must-try! We know the owner of this restaurant. He puts a lot of effort in finding the freshest ingredients from local farmers for his restaurant!

If you like Mexican/Salvadorian food, you ought to try this place. It's so authentic and you get a huge portion! We both could easily share one dish. But of course, that never happens as the food is mouthwatering! So we always order more than we need. When you're done with your meal, try their flan. Yum!!

Like the name says, the bread is reason to come here. Always fresh and amazing, it goes wonderfully with the many sandwiches and dishes they offer. I like to buy the baguettes here but the sourdough wheat loaf is truly unique.
