Stopped by Taqueria El Tio & Restaurant for dinner and had a really solid experience overall. The restaurant has a casual, authentic taqueria feel that makes it easy to settle in for a quick and satisfying meal. I ordered a few street-style tacos along with a carne asada plate, and everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The meats were well-seasoned, and the tortillas tasted fresh and warm. We also tried chips and salsa, which had a nice balance of spice and freshness. Portions were generous, making it a great value for the price. The staff were friendly, efficient, and kept things moving quickly even during a busy rush. Overall, it’s a dependable spot for flavorful Mexican food, quick service, and a laid-back, no-frills dining experience.

This place is AMAZING! The caterer for my nephew's wedding failed to show up and in a very short turnaround cranked out delicious food for all 150 guests with even vegan and vegetarian options. Everyone was delighted, their staff was wonderful and I can't say enough about the tacos. Muchas gracias amigos! Me gusta Taqueria El Tio.

This place saved the day! The caterer failed to show for my sons wedding . We ran across the street, asked what they could make quickly for 150 people! They came up with an excellent menu and fantastic food in 25 minutes! We were so grateful and the guests loved it! They also accommodated our vegans, vegetarians and gluten free! I can't thank them enough! They did it all with a smile too
