El Tio's Restaurant is a cozy eatery known for its authentic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant offers a range of breakfast options, including the generously filled and large Ham, Eggs, Tater Tots, Cheese, and Sour Cream Breakfast Burrito. The Chilaquiles, praised for their excellent flavor and perfect texture, are also a popular choice.
The carne asada is lean, with the right amount of chew and no gristly bits, while the green chili sauce has a light spice and rich flavor. Customers have commended the freshness and quality of the Carne Asada Burrito, as well as the excellent flavor and outstanding green sauce of the tacos.
The restaurant is run by a humble and hardworking owner who has brought the heart of Puebla cuisine to San Diego. Despite its small size, El Tio's is praised for its quick and attentive service, as well as its authentic and delicious offerings, including the Cabeza. Customers are eager to try more of the restaurant's menu items.
