I was greeted with a smile upon entry and the smiles kept coming throughout my wonderful dining experience! Treats on the menu are many - I sampled as much as I could. I particularly enjoyed the corn tamales - El Salvador style! They were crispy, hot and have a slight sweetness to them - these will not disappoint! The special puposas are something I have not encountered before and tasty. For a main course I enjoyed the tilapia whole fried fish - and side of salad and rice. I enjoyed the fish’s fresh and crispy texture. I also tried the plantains ? I am so glad to have El Tio here in America’s Charlottesville. If you want to try authentic El Salvadoran food - go! ???Kid-friendliness: My kid enjoyed this place (teen).

Amazing food! Not many restaurants in Charlottesville come close and none at this price point. The staff was very friendly and had good recommendations. Service was a bit slow, but they were slammed and the food was fresh and delicious when it did come. Can’t recommend enough. It’s my new favorite restaurant in Charlottesville by a good margin.
