" Tacos El Tio is a hidden gem that truly delivers on taste and authenticity. The al pastor tacos were delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors. Even though the restaurant has a small seating area, the ambiance feels cozy and welcoming. One downside is that it’s cash only, which is a bit inconvenient, but I always make sure to bring cash because the food is too good to miss! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Tacos El Tio has exceeded all my expectations! The authentic Mexican tacos are made with care, and you can taste it. I ordered a variety to try and loved them all. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. Just don't forget to bring cash, as it is strictly cash-only, but it’s totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Craving tacos? Look no further than Tacos El Tio. The authentic atmosphere and delicious menu make this gem stand out in the city. The tacos I had were flavorful, fresh, and satisfying.

" I have been coming to Tacos El Tio for over a year now, and it has quickly become my favorite taco spot. Their carne asada tacos are authentically prepared, and the portions are generous. I also love that they offer a variety of toppings that are not common at many other taco places. The only drawback is the limited seating—expect to wait during peak hours, but trust me, the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
