" A delightful surprise! I went on a whim and was blown away by the flavor in their tacos. The al pastor was particularly great, with just the right amount of seasoning. Friendly staff made the experience memorable, and the affordability of the meals is a massive plus. The only downside is that there isn’t much room to sit, but take-out is definitely an option I would consider next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tío Taquería is hands down my favorite taco spot in Baton Rouge. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly. I ordered the birria tacos, and they did not disappoint! The broth for the dipping sauce was out of this world! Also, their selection of salsas made each bite a unique experience. I love that they've managed to keep the atmosphere casual yet inviting. I would suggest to any taco lover to make this place a priority—I can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Tío Taquería while exploring Baton Rouge, and I’m so glad I did! The restaurant has a humble exterior but the food is anything but ordinary. I had the tacos al pastor, and they were packed with flavor. The salsa was also incredibly fresh and spicy, just how I like it. The staff were welcoming and made me feel right at home. This is a hidden gem in Baton Rouge that shouldn't be missed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Craving some real Mexican flavors? El Tío Taquería is your answer! Their adobo chicken tacos hit the spot, bursting with flavor in every bite. The staff was super friendly and gave great recommendations. The only downside is the wait time during busy lunch hours. It's clearly a popular spot for good reason! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend El Tío Taquería enough! The tacos are the best I have tried anywhere in the state! This place encapsulates authentic Mexican cuisine in such a comforting way. The people there make you feel like family, and I truly appreciate the warmth they bring. If you want a taste of authentic tacos, definitely give this place a try. The cozy vibe really completes the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tío is known for its authentic tacos, and they certainly lived up to their reputation! I ordered the lengua tacos and was impressed by how tender and flavorful the meat was. The fresh toppings really enhanced the experience. One thing to note is that the seating arrangement is quite cozy, which may not suit larger groups but adds to the intimate atmosphere. Perfect place for a quick but satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The implicit integrity of the food here is palpable. I’ve tried several Mexican places in Baton Rouge and have often been disappointed by their approach to tacos, but El Tío turns that disappointment on its head. The carne asada they serve is some of the best I've had, edged in flavor and tenderness. I paired it with their homemade salsa, which added another layer of satisfaction. It’s evident that they care about the quality of their ingredients, from the tortillas to the marinated meats. However, I wish the ambiance were a bit more refined; it could use some sprucing up to match the quality of the food. Nevertheless, I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
