Staff is Friendly
Owner is a great guy and is accommodating to our military.
Food is by far the best Texmex I have had in a while.
I do not recommend this place. I got me some menudo to go. When i got home the broth was almost clear, i had to add my menudo mix. Their food is terrible lacks flavor! The owner & workers act like they dont care. Plus their food is over priced & no flavor.
How in the world did we not know this place existed!? We will definitely be back. Best service, and the food? AMAZING. We enjoy very spicy food hot we were not disappointed! Quite the opposite. We’ll see y’all soon.

Tio Gordo's is a welcoming restaurant that offers a variety of tasty Mexican dishes. Guests often enjoy the chips and salsa, queso, and hearty enchiladas. Many visitors praise the food's flavor and quality, with some noting that the cheese enchiladas are usually perfect, though a few have experienced too much chili powder on their second visit. The carne asada is cooked to perfection and served in the right portion size, complemented by flavorful rice and beans. The horchata and sweet tea are highly recommended drinks that add to the pleasant dining experience.
The atmosphere can vary; some find it comfortable and friendly, making it a good place for casual meals or special events. However, there are occasional complaints about loud music, especially on Thursday nights, which can make it hard to communicate or enjoy the space peacefully. Service quality also seems inconsistent—while some guests receive excellent, attentive service with staff like Kira going above and beyond, others feel the waitstaff can be unresponsive and inattentive, sometimes requiring guests to get their own refills.
Overall, despite some noise issues and minor food inconsistencies, Tio Gordo's remains a popular spot for delicious Mexican food and friendly service, with many customers eager to return.
