★★★★☆ 4.0 Jack Batty (Voracious_Vagabond) · Dec 2025

This place was next to my hotel and I didn’t want to drive anywhere to get dinner, as I had already been on the road today. Mexican sounded good. I got the camarones mojo de ajo and a side of Mexican guacamole. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten my food so quick after ordering. The shrimp were big and perfectly cooked. It came with rice, four flour tortillas, pico de gallo, and I added a side of refried beans. Now, I liked my dinner, but I do have to say that the shrimp were overly-salted. Very salty. And the lime juice in the pico de gallo was super sour. It was sitting on the plate next to my refried beans and the juice leaked into the beans and I couldn’t finish them. Super friendly and attentive service from everyone I was in contact with.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Victoria VanHorn · May 2025

This was my first time at this restaurant—I just happened to be in the area and decided to stop by. Before arriving, I called to ask about prices and a few other details, and I spoke with Vincent over the phone. He was very pleasant and helpful. When I came in, he was the one who assisted me in person as well. Vincent was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive. I ordered takeout this time, and even just for takeout, the customer service I received from him was outstanding. I was very pleased with the experience and definitely look forward to coming back to dine in and enjoy the full service. Great first impression!

I ordered the shrimp cocktail, fish taco, and steak fajita—everything was amazing. Super fresh, full of flavor, and you can tell it’s made with care and authentic recipes. This place is definitely my go-to from now on! Seriously the best Mexican food in town!

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael White · Nov 2023

We took the kiddos hear for lunch. This was a very pleasant dining experience. The staff was very friendly. The food was on point. We tried a variety of menu items. Very reasonably priced. Authentic environment. We will definitely go here again?

★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Robertson · Nov 2025

Great little spot, super friendly staff. Meal sizes were more appropriate (not huge) super affordable. Thank you El Tio for welcoming us 10 minutes before close, no rush whatsoever. Will return.
