Got together with some childhood friends and had a mini reunion. One of the friends in our group lives around the area and recommended Tio. It was probably the best Tex Mex I ever had. I had the chicken quesadilla with rice and beans on the side. It was such a flavorful dinner. I live about 40 minutes away but I will make time to come here again.

Personable bartenders and staff, friendly. Food is terrific, the decor, glassware and silverware...everything is clean top notch. Highly recommend the burrito bowl with the sweet habanero chalula's hot sauce.

Love this spot! Mainly this location! Sofia is the best waitress, the food and drinks never disappoint. They need to keep the summer blackened shrimp guac on the menu all year round!
