Walked in to find it very clean and organized. I really liked that, Sat down and got a menu, ordered the sweet corn tamales and they told me they did not have any at the moment. Ordered chicharron pupusas and they were by far the worst pupusas I have ever had, very oily, like the dough was dripping in oil, found chunks of chicharron in my pupusa, which if you know pupusas, the chicharron is blended until it's more of a puree than a whole piece of meat. They don't give you enough curtido and when I asked for more they took a while to bring it, and after they brought my food, they did not back to see if everything was ok. I didnt know if they brought the receipt to pay at the table or not, so after waiting a while, just went to the register to pay. Bummed because I really wanted to like them and was so hungry, was very disappointed with the food and service. I will give them 3 stars for the cleanliness of the restaurant.

This is a neighborhood favorite. It is far from fancy but the food and the service are great!

This place is a small, family owned business serving up a variety of papusas, tacos, sopas, milkshakes and a few other items. Drinks are limited to horchata, lemonade and bottled soft drinks that you would find in Honduras or El Salvadore. Unfortunately, you can't get any low calorie drinks. Forget about Diet Coke or Sprite Zero. The food comes with just a fork wrapped up in a paper napkin, no knife or spoon. Restrooms are small but efficient. Toilet seat in Men's restroom was broken. They take credit cards but only by using a Square D reader plugged into a tablet. Service is personal and quick. They are willing to accommodate food requests without any flak. Keep in mind that speaking Spanish is beneficial here.

I've been coming here to Tio Chilo for. Couple of years now and I love this place. It is family owned and run, and everyone here is friendly even if you don't speak Spanish. All of the Salvadoran dishes I have sampled have been delicious and priced very nicely. Enjoy y'all

I wasn't expecting to find a great Mexican/Salvadoran restaurant in Springfield. The papusa was definitely a good choice along with authentic street tacos with various meat choices. I had the creamy chicken plate and was pleased with the flavors! Definitely a winner, winner! We will be back!

This place is great! Very authentic. I have had the pupusas (sp?) which are filling. I do wish they had more vegetarian or fish tacos that you could buy individually. The service is fantastic and the price is hard to beat! Will be back!

How are there so few reviews of this place? My daughter and I love to try new foods. We hadn't been to Springfield before and we had no idea what to expect. The neighborhood looks almost abandoned but it turns out it's only a couple of blocks to the historic downtown. The restaurant is about 200 yds from The Depot. Neither of us have had Salvadorian food before, our server did a nice job explaining the menu. We decided to share the steak/plantain/egg/beans breakfast and three different pupusas. Everything was absolutely delicious. The breakfast came with a spicy coleslaw that was similar in taste to sauerkraut and went well with the steak. The green pepper sauce had some kick and added nicely to the pupusas. Can't wait to go back.
