" I can’t emphasize enough how much I love El Tio Taco! The food is consistently excellent, particularly the sopes and the horchata. However, every time I visit, I've noted the service is sometimes hit or miss. It can take a while for the staff to take your order and even longer for the food, but the comfort of knowing you’ll be served authentic, delicious tacos makes the wait worthwhile. I appreciate the generous portion sizes, too—they definitely deliver on value! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tio Taco is an average spot for Mexican food. I found their offerings to be decent, but not particularly authentic. The tacos I ordered were fine, but the flavors just didn’t pop like I hoped for. The vibe of the restaurant is nice and welcoming, with decent decor. Overall, I wouldn’t rush back, but I wouldn’t write it off either—if someone invites me, I’ll go along. " (*Curated Review*)

" The worst dining experience I’ve ever had. The food came after an hour and a half wait. My order was mixed up and when addressed, the staff seemed more interested in their conversations than the patrons. I left feeling frustrated and dissatisfied, especially since I had tried to cut through the noise with a polite complaint but was brushed off. I wouldn’t recommend El Tio Taco to anyone looking for a pleasant dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tio Taco is a hit or miss; sometimes the food is unbelievably good, but other times it's mediocre. I had an incredible taco platter last time I visited, bursting with flavor, but my recent visit was a total letdown. The service was frustrating, too—waiting too long for our food and a server who didn’t seem to care. I really hope they find a way to deliver consistently because when they’re good, they’re great, but when they’re bad, it’s just disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express enough how delightful my dining experience was at El Tio Taco! Right from the moment we stepped in, the beautiful decor caught our eyes, setting a warm and inviting tone. The food we ordered, notably the steak tacos and sopes, was nothing short of phenomenal. Each bite was packed with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that transported me straight to Mexico. The portions were generous as well, making it a fantastic value for what we paid. Although the service was slightly slow, I could see how busy the place was, and the staff maintained a friendly demeanor throughout. I'd definitely recommend coming here during off-peak hours to truly enjoy the experience. Overall, this is a gem in the area and I'll be returning soon! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! El Tio Taco was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m glad I took their advice. The atmosphere is lively, with colorful decorations and upbeat music. The food was authentic, especially the chicken enchiladas which were creamy and delicious. The only downside was the service, which was a bit slow due to the crowd. However, the incredible flavors made up for the wait. I left satisfied and will definitely return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I feel El Tio Taco deserves a solid recommendation. They do a great job with their pork tacos, which are incredibly flavorful each time I've ordered them. The ambiance is lively and friendly, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal with friends. While the wait time was slightly longer during my last visit, the food was hot, fresh, and delivered to our table with a smile, which I appreciate. Overall, a delightful experience!
