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!

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.
