    C&T came with pretty vivid recommendations from good friends, and I was excited to go. And the place fell by no means through; it's lively, colorful creative and a fun concept. The food is obviously the most important thing for most restaurants, C&T delivers on that parameter, and aside from other things we tried, I did get an amazing Cuban Sandwich. The Yuca Fries were good too, the tacos a bit less so, but all in all we got exciting food. They could work a bit more on the presentation, because the flavor of the food deserves it. The concept of always having to go up to the counter to order, street food style, is flawed. There was a line there, which I imagine there often is, and once you have ordered and paid, you have to get back in line to get an extra soft drink, or whatever you might be craving, and that got old on my first try. Not being able to have table service, also makes it hard to have fun there for a longer period as a group. It would be great if you could choose either or, not least because the menu is quite extensive so you feel rushed having to order relatively quickly. And get rid of the plastic cups and utensils; no good food deserves to be served with plastic. I'm be back though, and this time I know what I'm getting 👍😉.

    My daughters and I love coming here. The food is so good! The atmosphere is fun. If you go at peak eating times the line can be long. I’ll be honest and say 8 times out of 10 they forgot to give us cheese dip with our side of rice that we always get but when we bring it to their attention once they bring the food out they get it for us. It is aggravating but wouldn’t stop me from eating here. They have rides for the kids though some of them don’t work. All in all a great place to eat with yummy food. Give it a try!

    We enjoyed the Mexican Burger, the churrasco, and Cubano Milanesa. The food is so delicious here. The seasoning and atmosphere are truly enjoyable for a family get together or just a quick bite to eat with friends.

    They go all out for Halloween! The churrasco is insanely delicious and high quality. They have a Cuban sandwich that's fantastic. All their chicken dishes are great too. And there's a kid hot dog dish that the kids loved 👍👍

    A fun, colorful atmosphere, with plenty of seating throughout. Can only imagine this place completely packed on the weekends. Large food portions. Chips and salsa are at an additional cost.

    This was my first time there. There was a very long line due to the graduation ceremony at UGA. This was to be expected. So it did take a bit longer to get out food. But that was understandable as to how busy it was. The food was great. Some of the best guacamole I’ve had. The fish taco was also really good. I will definitely be back. My favorite thing was riming the margarita cups with tajin. Yummy. ,

    Cali n Titos is a great mexican restaurant for anyone and everyone. While the service can take a while on busy weekends, the wait is worth it. They have a sizable vegetarian menu that isn't an after-thought. The actual food is very flavorful and has an authentic taste to it. Highly recommend getting the fried plantains (maduros) and the tito's veggie burrito. The chips and queso were the most fire item we had. Margs were mediocre.

    What a fun place! The noise level was a bit high, but expected, especially with a group of energetic kids (not mine), which was fine (I shouldn't have sat next to the kiddie rides. We had Leche de Tigre, grilled fish tacos (I asked for corn tortillas instead of flour), and flounder platter (no pic). All were served hot and fresh, although more confident than protein. Oh, I also had a Tito' Big Burrito (no pic)(they've obviously never been to Southern Cali - they weren't really big burritos). Flavors were good, but, again, could use more protein. They should call it a bean and rice burrito with a tease of meat (I had the pork). For a pop of heat, ask for the habañero sauce. Fun place, good food, and somewhere I would return to. I recommend. Beers ($5), mojitos, etc. I understand there is another location, but not as big or fun-filled.

    Atmosphere was a little too much for this old gal! Halloween decorations and loud animated monsters but the food was FABULOUS!! I will be back.

    Interesting environment. Counter service, seating is picnic tables. Food is simple and good. Vegan options available

    This place gets absolutely packed so plan accordingly unless you don't mind waiting in line and looking for tables. The place is gigantic but it truly gets so busy (see pictures) so just be ready if you hit this spot on a crowded time frame. The inside is unlike any other restaurant with plants and decorations everywhere. Their menu is a fun/different menu and the food is delicious. After I ate here I heard they have the BEST tortas and Cubano sandwiches so a second visit will need to happen soon. There is no sitting down and being served on. You get in line and order up front and wait for your food to be called up. The staff is friendly but busy so it felt fast. It's a fun place so be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!!

    Very cool place for lunch or dinner. We went in October and the decorations inside were crazy! It was counter service when we went for lunch. The cashier was helpful and knowledgeable. We liked all the options for our plant based diet. It was a little weird filling out water cups from what looked like hose tap, but was all part of the experience! Will be back for sure.

    I came in with my son and his roommates. We all had Cuban sandwiches. I got mine without jalapeños. All four of us raved about our sandwiches. The prices are reasonable and the portion size is large. This is also a super fun place to eat. Lots of picnic tables and lots of fun decor.

  • 3/5 Lucas L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is decent....kinda. Chips and salsa are okay. All 6 people at my table had lots of food they didn't eat. This either speaks to the portions being too large or the food not being as good as it may seem. The lines are slow to move and the setup makes me scratch my head. This must cut down drastically on the cost of employees as there are no servers. You order at two registers and then someone will search out your number and deliver the food. It's a little hectic to say the least. A can of coke will cost you $1.50 and even with the current inflation they are gonna squeeze a little more out of your wallet. I wouldn't recommend you wasting your time here so don't blame me if your experience leaves you wanting or disappointed. Also be prepared to have red cabbage thrown all over your food. It all just seems like a waste and weird attempt to class up the food esthetic.

    The food is excellent! I have been a fan for years. My go-to dish is Tacu Tacu with chicken and sweet potato chips for the side. The staff is friendly and appears happy, but the line to order moves painfully slow. Avoid peak meal times. It is a fun place to eat with kids -- bring quarters for the rides. I love the outdoor eating section, especially the sand.

  • 5/5 Diana N. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great time here. Their service is consistent and the establishment provides a fun and eclectic vibe. The tacu tacu fish is my favorite dish to order here. The lunch portions are fairly large for lunch as well.

    Amazing food, amazing drinks and amazing environment!! Has to be the best latin dining experience in town. The Cubano is fantastic. I like the steak version. My daughter loves the Fish burrito and yucca fries. The Caipirinha is fantastic. The restaurant has a lot of inside seating and a spacious and festive outside dining area (with a beach!) It is colorful and festive inside as well. A great place for a date, family dinner or gathering spot for friends. The ONLY downside is you order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Probably a good system for groups of college kids but not so good for a family. But it is a small price to pay for the food quality and experience. Wide selection of drinks Including Latin sodas and beers. Plenty of parking in back. It is a great place and my whole family recommends it wholeheartedly!! There is a campus location but the Eastside blows it away! CK IT OUT!!

    My first time here and it was definitely worth the stop after G-day. The vibe, music 🎶 and food were all on point! I had a frozen strawberry 🍓 margarita and a chicken quesadilla. The chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa had a sweet taste with a hint on spice. The quesadilla was packed with rice, beans, chicken and cheese cooked to perfection. If I am ever in this area again Cali N Titos is a must return!!!
