First time eating in this location (Delaware). Food was plentiful, fresh and tasty. There is a big variety of choices and this made it difficult to choose so of course we over- ordered. Amelia our server was sweet, patient and helpful – tolerated my stupid humor. Next time I might try something with Tequilla in it. – Only disappointment was the over-head music wasn’t Spanish in nature but maybe they change up the music at different times.

We love Tio Taco + Tequila at Christiana Mall — it’s one of our go-to spots and we’ve been back plenty of times. We went again on New Year’s Eve and it was great as always. Good food, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere. It’s consistently a solid experience all around, which is why we keep coming back.

The bartender Olivia was fantastic. She picked up the slow waitress slack or lack of service. Margaritas were the bomb and the loaded nachos were out of this world. We will be back soon.
