My wife and I always have a wonderful time at Tio Taco. The food and drinks are always on point, but the service is what we go back for. Each time we're met with enthusiasm and energy and we love it. On top of that, the recommendations from the staff are always helpful. Daniella in particular has served us the last 2 visits and she is amazing. She remembered what we ordered the last time we went in (6 months prior), and had more recommendations for us.
Great work...

Elotes and margarita flight were to die for! My husband inhaled the fajitas. I didn’t love the enchiladas—the sauce was a bit sweet for my taste, but if you like sweet, you’ll love them.

I’ve officially been here three times. Two times with my boyfriend and once with my daughter. I. AM. HOOKED. The food here is absolutely delicious. The drinks are amazing. And the service sealed the deal. The general manager stopped by our table and introduced himself which was great. And our server made sure to come by and check on us to ensure everything was good. This was a great spot for mom and daughter time for sure. My suggestion, if you haven’t been, go!
