" This place gives me nostalgia! I appreciate how they kept some of the original diner decor while adding their Mexican twist. The breakfast was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised at the generous portions. It’s a cozy little spot to enjoy a hearty meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is warm and friendly, plus the food feels like home cooking! I loved the homemade salsa with my meal. It was a bit salty this time, but I couldn't resist the flavors anyhow. I'd return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Tio's for years, and they never let me down! The breakfast burrito is a must-try—it's stuffed with fresh ingredients and is huge! They've truly mastered the art of great service, and the atmosphere is always lively. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience this time. The food was decent but not as flavorful as before. I think they might have changed cooks? Service was fine, but I expected a bit more after my previous visits. Hoping it was just an off day, as I really love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the breakfast special and it was fantastic! The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the prices are unbeatable. The only downside was the wait for a table—it was bustling, but the staff handled it well. Such a great find in South Columbus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say I really enjoyed Tio's! The horchata was delicious, and the portions are generous for the price. The only downside was that my meal could have used a bit more spice, but overall a great experience. Will visit again. " (*Curated Review*)
