El Tio Restaurant y Tienda Reviews
Great service and delicious food.
Buen servicio y comida rica!
This place is a gem. Fresh, real food, done well. And the prices are so reasonable! This place deserves to thrive.
This restaurant is really good. The food is delicious, relatively inexpensive, and you get a lot more that you really can eat (it did not stop me however). The service is fine. I had a simple chicken burrito. It was outstanding. You are in and out for lunch, making it some place you can go easily if you work at UVA.

El Tio Restaurant y Tienda is a highly recommended spot for authentic Hispanic products and meals. This friendly restaurant offers a great variety of products and services, with wonderful food at reasonable prices. The staff provides excellent service with smiles and is super friendly and helpful, showing they really care about what they do. Must-try dishes include the crispy corn tamales, special pupusas, and whole fried tilapia. It has a fun atmosphere and is more than just a grocery store; it features Latin-American staples that are hard to find in regular supermarkets. The place is kid-friendly and is a great spot to experience authentic El Salvadoran cuisine. Many customers have praised the quality ingredients and the nostalgic taste of real Mexican Coke in a glass bottle. Whether grabbing a quick bite or stocking up in the tienda, El Tio is an all-around great local spot that is definitely worth a visit.
