cali n tito's

bring cash. they don't take debit/credit, and for a small fee it is byob. i like the fish tacos. this place has an amazing feel, and it's probably the best place to go eat outside on an amazing day. i am not the biggest cuban food fan, but it is good food.

don't even think about not eating here. after a very busy day of college moving, this place was an incredible respite!!! never have i had a meal where all three of us just passed what we ordered around the table "that 70's show" style, groovin' on how tasty what each other ordered. nomnomnom...

the tacos are to die for. best tacos i have ever had, hands down.

get them with steak, and dip them in the sour cream. you won't regret it.

latin goodness. we stumbled on this place today for lunch. what a treat!

with a very simple, but versitle menu, cali n tito's offered some mexican staples such as empenadas, burritos and they threw in a cuban sandwich in the mix, too. that's what i went for... the cuban ultimate, or something like that. it had ham, chorizo and about everything else they could throw on there. i was very happy to see fried sweet plaintains as a side option, so i went with that... delicious. of course, i had to balance a little mexican with it, so i washed it down with a sangria.

was a very good, but filling lunch.

aside from the food, the place has a total latin, coastal feel to it. it felt like i was 100 yards from the ocean. not to mention the cluttered hanging decorations and worn out tables added to the personality of this place.

wow. this place was amazing. it is not your typical mexican restaurant but more of a ecclectic latin quisine. the menue was quite varied and included a vegetarian section. the food was intresting but more importantly it tasted great. many things i have never seen or heard of before. a laid back atmosphere, reasonable prices will bring me back again even if it is byob. (alchohol is not served but is permitted to be brought in by customers.) (also no credit cards) i had the lomo saltado which a pervuian fajita with potatoes, onions and chicken) and a side of tostales (squshed fried plantains). i cant wait to go back with a couple dos equis on ice.

great food! sit outside and byob. would reccomend.

great fish tacos. if you want a seat, you better get there early.

not for those looking for a 'tex-mex' fix. having lived in sa for many years, cnt makes mostly peruvian fare. fried yuca, yummy sauces, ricky saltado, ceviche! try their lunch combos, great food, great prices!

this place is absolutely incredible! been here so many times i can't even count. last night, me and some friends came here. the food was great as usual, however, upon leaving and making it home i realized i didn't have my iphone or wallet. i left them on our table and was sure that no one would have turned them in. i came back to find that a waitress had found and stored my phone and wallet safely. this establishment not only prepares great food consistently, they have employees who show honesty, integrity, and kindness to all their customers. i wouldn't be surprised if i came back 30 years from now and this place was still around. note to the owner: you should probably think about expanding. ever thought about decatur? great little city and a lot like athens in many ways.

p.s. if you consider yourself a man, get the cubano especial. it's a manwich. probably the best sandwich i've ever had period.

if you don't like calintitos then get the hell out of america.

cali n tito's. i've given this place multiple chances and i've just never acquired the taste for it. went a few times before uga baseball games and really appreciated the location and convenience of getting to the stadium.

maybe i'm ordering the wrong things but i haven't really liked anything i've ordered. i've tried the chicken and the fish tacos and wasn't a fan of either - also didn't like the taquitos.

really unimpressed that they only take cash and i think it's stupid that they charge people to byob.

cubans, lomo saltado, empanadas, wings, etc. all is good. environment 10, food 10. don't forget is cash only.

a great restaurant. i went there the first time for lunch, and returned the same day for dinner. any time i'm in athens i eat there. everything on the menu rocks. the cuban is the best sandwich anywhere, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. it's one of the most fun places you can eat.

el gran combo is awesome and very authentic to the traditional rice and beans plato tipical of central america

great place for byob and for groups. cash is the way to go and it is not the cleanest place but that's it's charm.

note: no credit/debit!!!. serving up tasty, well portioned food for college students on a budget.

while not the most authentic - i'm sorry people, a cuban sandwich is not what they serve at cnt's - it's pretty damn tasty. the food is freshly prepared and cooked well.

ask the cashier what's fresh or in season if you're not sure and they'll be glad to assist you. the staff is great.

the cuban is a good choice if you're cnt newbie - delicious meat, melted cheese, veg on a delicious roll. their fajitas aren't bad also. fried plantains are well made as they're fried on the spot, seasoned properly with salt and garnished with cilantro to wake up the flavors.

byob is another + but do note that cnt does not take credit/debit cards. hungry but want to stay under $10 a head? head on over to cnt's.
