I was quite irritated when paying at the counter after ordering. I tapped my credit card and the screen prompted me to add a 15, 20, or 25 percent tip; the screen also included some Asian lettering, indecipherable of course, and there was no option for a custom tip or for moving on to the next screen without tipping. I advise you, if you're irritated like I was, to tell the counter person to "get me out of this screen," which should also convey the message of where they can put their attempt to shame you into tipping.
As for the food, the burrito was spicy and very good. I would have preferred that it contained sour cream, but I do understand that genuine Mexican food lacks that ingredient. In this restaurant you order and pay at the counter, like you would in a fast-food place, then you sit down at a picnic table in a dining area with a Latin theme, where the food is brought to your table. All in all, the place is nice, the food is good, and according to my son, it is very popular with college students (and locals also, because they were there when I was there).

It's a classic to come here when you're in Athens. Usually get their fish tacos or cubanos. This time I got the Peruvian Fajitas. Which was very very salty. I understand there's tortillas but I don't want to be overwhelmed with carbs since there's ready fries and rice. Their chips with salsa & queso is a must!
As someone who relishes in sharing the finest culinary experiences with my traveling family, I am elated to recount the countless delightful visits we've had at Cali N Tito's, a true gem in the tapestry of dining establishments.
Each visit to Cali N Tito's is a celebration, not just of flavors but of warm hospitality as well. The owner's friendly demeanor and the staff's attentive service create an inviting atmosphere that makes every patron feel like part of the Cali N Tito's family.
The menu, a kaleidoscope of culinary delights, features standout dishes that have become a tradition for my family. The Mexican burger, a masterpiece of taste and texture, always leaves us savoring each bite and longing for the next. The Peruvian fried rice, on the other hand, is a dish so sublime that it can only be described as 'heavenly.' The perfect blend of spices and fresh ingredients in these dishes encapsulates the essence of Cali N Tito's commitment to culinary excellence.
Beyond the exquisite food, the restaurant's interior design deserves its own accolades. The vibrant and 'loud' decor perfectly complements the indoor-outdoor ambiance, creating a festive and authentic setting that enhances the dining experience. It's a visual feast that pairs wonderfully with the gastronomic delights served.
In sum, Cali N Tito's is not just a restaurant; it's a destination where every visit guarantees a journey of flavors, joy, and heartwarming hospitality. It's the first place I think of when I want to give my traveling family an unforgettable dining experience, and it never disappoints.
I cannot recommend Cali N Tito's enough. It's a place where culinary dreams are realized, and every meal is a celebration of life's simple yet profound pleasures.

Counter service. Order your food at the counter, and they'll bring it to your table. The food is good but nothing exceptional. Fries are great! Margaritas are pretty small.
The best thing about Cali and Tito's is all the decor inside. Going there makes me feel like I'm on vacation in Florida. Just a really fun restaurant with a lot of great attention to detail everywhere.
It's a good place to take kids, because there's a lot of stuff inside to keep kids entertained.
The guy who took our order was also extremely nice.
