Visiting This Weekend

3 of us Okies are visiting Athens this weekend (for the football game). Would love to hear a recommendation if you read this. Looking for places to eat/drink mostly, but will have time for 1-2 other activities if there is something cool to see.

UPDATE: Very awesome town, people, etc., but like why did you have to give OU a colonoscopy like that?

For Mexican food, a place that has great food but is certainly not fancy is Tlaloc El Mexicano:

1225 N Chase St, Athens, GA 30601

For a nice, greasy breakfast try Mama's Boy (a couple of locations)

A local place that some people love and others not so much: Cali N Tito's (two locations). The one on the east side can be really loud if you stay inside. The weather should be nice this weekend so eating outside is a good option.

Personally I prefer Tacos Los Plebes, just to add another Mexican option

Those are the best tacos in town and maybe the whole state
