El Tio's is truly authentic, muy auténtica! The food, delicious! The owner, very humble, kind, hard working, and brought the heart of Puebla cuisine to San Diego. Look no further for someone who truly cooks from the heart. It may seem like a small shop, but being ran by only a small staff and owner, he is quick and attentive. My new favorite shop for Cabeza, and I'm ready to try more!

I was in the area from Riverside, looked for somewhere to eat, Tio's popped up and I drove past it. I AM VERY HAPPY I turned around.
I ordered the carne asada burrito and he suggested the Cali Burrito. I definitely will be back, the burrito was perfect.. thank you Tio..

Excellent food and service. My only complaint is that they need a salsa bar but overall this place is a hidden gem in San Diego. We will be back every week!! So excited to have this business in the neighborhood
