Cantaritos Cafe

Cantaritos Cafe at 2467 Jefferson Road in Athens, GA serves Mexican cuisine with a focus on burritos, skillets, specials, and what regulars describe as some of the best queso in the area. The restaurant emphasizes fresh ingredients and authentic preparation, positioning itself as Athens' best choice for Mexican food on the north side of town. Hours are generous: Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Sunday from 12:30 to 9 p.m. Those late night hours on Friday and Saturday make Cantaritos one of the few Mexican restaurants in Athens open past midnight, which is a real asset for the late night crowd. The restaurant operates as a family oriented business and offers both takeout and delivery throughout Athens and Watkinsville. The Jefferson Road location serves communities west and north of central Athens, GA, filling a gap in a corridor that has fewer restaurant options than the downtown or Five Points areas. The dining room is welcoming and family friendly, and the delivery option extends the reach to customers who prefer eating at home. At 4.8 stars with more than 148 reviews, Cantaritos has earned a loyal following through consistent food quality and a welcoming atmosphere. The late hours, delivery service, and family friendly approach make it a versatile option that serves the Jefferson Road community from lunch through late night.
