I absolutely love this place! I don't know what it is, but it's so comfortable and cozy in this restaurant. Food is always hot, drinks are always refilled on time and the food is so delicious.

The service was good. The waitress was very friendly, helpful, and was on top of everything. The atmosphere was alright. We were in the middle, and it felt like everyone who worked there was constantly staring at us. The food was good, and I loved the fried ice cream.

Maybe they don’t have customers who have had Mexican food. It looked like Mexican food but it was tasteless; the chicken was tough. That doesn’t excuse the lame service

Tio's is a nice family restaurant. We went on a Saturday night. It wasn't overly busy but it did take a while to get our food (carne asada and chili verde burrito). It was good. Not the best. Not the worst. Average Mexican food. Server and everyone we dealt with was very nice.

After trying as many Mexican restaurants as we could in this corner of the valley, this restaurant is my favorite. And has become my family's favorite too. I absolutely love their tomatillo sauce over enchiladas. The meat is very well done--not chewy or grisly. My favorite part is being greeted with a, "Hello, family!" The staff is so sweet! We come regularly and are always very happy we did.

An exceptional place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and fresh, and every dish is prepared with love and attention to detail. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended for any lover of Mexican food!
This is the best Mexican food we have had in Utah - we have been there twice in a week!!! We have tried many places, but this one is legit. The food is delicious, the chips and salsa, their guacamole, yum! It’s not only this, the service is amazing, they are just so very kind and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere is great and the music is festive. This is a small business that deserves your business!

My sister and I went to Tio's today for lunch and I will never be going back, here's why. My sister got the chicken enchilada and shredded beef taco lunch special, I got the Chile Verde burrito and we got an appetizer of Carne Asada Nachos to share. The appetizers took a normal amount of time, but got there before the drinks got to the table. We asked for plates for the appetizer, and our drinks, and we had to hunt the waitress down again for plates and drinks, eventually asking a different waiter who brought them to us. The service for the meal continued in that fashion, asking our waitress for extra napkins, for a refill on soda, for the check, every time we had to hunt her down again and ask for those things after she did not return within 5 minutes or so. Now I could understand if it were busy, but there were 2 servers and 4 tables when we had lunch, there was no conceivable reason it would take this long for service. After sharing some of the food with each other nothing stood out in a positive way, I'll break down each dish below.
Appetizer Nachos - Though there were many toppings on the nachos the huge disappointment was the "Carne Asada", which both looked and texturally felt like powdery ground beef. The server says that they finely mince their Carne Asada and that's what we had, but whatever they did it was the worst Carne Asada I've ever had in 36 years. If you decide to go here the rest of the nachos were okay.
Chicken enchilada and shredded beef taco platter - The sauce for the enchiladas is the first thing you taste when you eat this, followed by cheese, and that's it. You don't taste the corn used in the enchilada mix, and you can't taste the chicken whatsoever. It felt like they put as much cheese on the Enchilada as possible to hide the fact that it had zero flavor. The shredded beef taco was soggy, completely full of wet shredded lettuce, and a very small amount of meat with almost no flavor.
Chile Verde Burrito w/ rice n beans - The rice had zero flavor, and the cubed pork in the burrito was over cooked, grainy, stringy, and flavorless. The Chile Verde sauce was alright, but honestly I wouldn't order it again, and I'm not sure if I could recommend any if the meat choices at this establishment as every single one was bad.
The atmosphere was fine, it was clean. Unfortunately the rest of the experience was unpleasant, to the point that after we left we went somewhere else and got Mexican food for lunch.
Save your money, don't pay $13 dollars for guacamole, and go enjoy Mexican food at any number of good locations across the valley.

When going through check-out I noticed that my bill was unusually high (I visit often). I asked the waiter if there was an extra item accidentally added onto my bill and he scrolled through the tablet and assured me everything was good. I then mentioned that I was going to leave a cash tip ($9). I had the receipt texted to me and viewed it when I got home. Turns out the reason why the price was unusually high was because the tip was included in the price, which was not mentioned by the waiter, even after I told him I was leaving a cash tip. So Mr. Waiter managed to get two tips from me and was aware of it. Totally dishonest and I won’t be returning after this distasteful experience.
