" This little taco truck exceeded my expectations! I first tried their beef tongue taco and was blown away by the flavor and tenderness. The hot sauces they offer add the perfect kick to the meal. The only downside was that the wait was a bit longer than I anticipated during the lunch rush, but the food made it worthwhile. If you're ever in Christiansburg, don't miss out on Tacos El Tio. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Describing my experience at Tacos El Tio, I can't say enough about the authenticity of their tacos! It is like a mini escape to Mexico in Christiansburg. I tried the quesabirria and was more than pleased with the flavor profile. It was rich, savory, and versatile when enjoyed with their range of hot sauces. The staff was very prompt and accommodating. The only aspect to consider is the outdoor seating, which could be improved, but I'd rate my overall experience a solid 5! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Tio surpassed my expectations completely. I ordered the burrito, and it was generously filled with meat and spices, just like I wanted. I wish there was a little more variety in the drink options, but the food was just too good. I'll be back often to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos El Tio last Saturday and had high expectations based on the reviews. I ordered the al pastor tacos and a carne asada burrito. The flavors were incredible! The meat was juicy and well-seasoned, and I loved the fresh cilantro and onion toppings. The staff was courteous and quick with our order despite a busy lunch hour. My only complaint was the seating area wasn't the most comfortable, but honestly, the food made up for it. Will absolutely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Tio was everything I hoped for and more! The tacos were bursting with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I had the pork tamale which delighted my taste buds with its rich taste. The additional toppings of cilantro and diced onions took it to the next level. The service matched the quality of the food—friendly and eager to help. The only downside was limited seating. A fantastic experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Almost too good to be true, the tacos at Tacos El Tio were a delightful surprise! The flavors were rich and the portions were generous, making it an incredible taco experience. The lady who took my order was so nice, providing great service in such a busy environment. I highly recommend their spicy salsa, it's packed with flavor! The only downside was limited seating, but that's what you can expect from food trucks. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend Tacos El Tio! The tacos are delicious and remind me of those from the streets of Mexico. I had the chicken option, which was juicy and packed with flavor. The complimentary sides of grilled onions and radishes were a nice touch. The only problem I faced was that I wished they had some shaded seating area because it was a sunny day. Other than that, the service was fabulous! Friendly staff made my experience memorable. Will be back next week! " (*Curated Review*)
