In July of 2008, we had a meeting on the town square of Athens, Alabama in extreme northern Alabama. Downtown Athens is one of the quintessential small town downtown areas in all of Alabama. Athens has a population of around 20,000 and its proximity to I-65 and Huntsville has made Athens a thriving community. Athens was incorporated in 1818, making it one of the oldest cities in Alabama. In May of 2008, Southern Living featured a small Tex-Mex restaurant on the town square named Tortillas Blanco (http://www.tortillasblanco.com/). After reading the article, I had penciled in TB for my next trip to Athens. It did not disappoint at all from the warm welcome, the good food, and the AMAZING chips. The chips are actually commercially available at several locations in the area. The Nachos Blanco are a heaping pile of goodness and the standard burritos are also a good choice. The chips and tortillas are made fresh daily.
