No frills place for Mexican food! They seem to specialize in Oaxacan cuisine so I got me a Tlayuda. The steak was sooo tender and the portion was larger than I expected. I got my husband a burrito and while I don't have a pic, they definitely didn't skimp. Will be coming back!

A beautiful family business with amazing food! I’ve been here a handful of times and plan to come so many more. You can never and I mean never go wrong with getting their nachos. The portions are amazing and huuuge with good flavor and presentation. I drive about 35 minutes from my town and it’s worth it every time.

4's all around. Great tacos and quakity ingredients. I really enjoy the Al Pastor and puerco. The red sauce is generally very smokey and chipotleesque. They offer a decent amout of gringo options for the basic people but thats not why you visit. Go for the tacos and try the flautas and enchiladas as well. You wont be disappointed

Here is the final review of Tino's. I say final, because I've been here before for breakfast. Which was dry and gross. But I thought, before I give a good review, I should try the 'authentic' Mexican cuisine. The breakfast sandwich was dry and way over done. That being said, there was an announcement on Facebook that it was taco Tuesday. So off I went. It was more like tapas Tuesday. Tacos were so small. I ordered the nachos to try and 2 tacos. My husband ordered 3 tacos. The nachos were cold and limp. Not crunchy at all. I've been to Mexico more times than I care to mention. THIS WAS NOT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! I can't stress that enough. I could have made those nachos in my microwave 😩. I was so disappointed because I wanted so much to find a new restaurant to add to our portfolio of f

I can't speak to service or atmosphere only food. We had the birria tacos (3) w/ the consomme. The meat was tender and tortilla perfect. The cook was done well. However, the meat had absolutely no flavor, very fatty pieces throughout which made it hard to eat and the meat was greasy. The consomme was the same. Very disappointed.
