Tio Bens Mexican Grill

What a surprise this place is, great food, fun atmosphere, live music and karaoke. We ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and they were chicken filled, great flavor along with very good rice n beans. The surprise was the very flavorful chicken fajitas, served steaming with a sauce you would not believe. A mixture on the bottom of soy, Maggi sauce and Worcestershire, absolutely fanfriggintastic and adds to the moist chicken and bell peppers full of "savor"!!!! Great place- great people and great service, Vamos!!!!!!!

New place here on NW Side.Super excited! Ordered combo plates- service is great! Margarita is tasty & I got a skull toothpick Great place to check out for something new. Should become a new stop!

Hidden gym off of Orange and Thornydale. I've had t bone, grilled fish, and shrimp and everything was great. Live one man band on Fridays and Saturdays is a nice twist. Give them a try. Pricing is reasonable for the items I got. Combination plates around $13.

Chips & salsa are great! I get a crunchy ground beef taco with has a fresh shell & hubs get the molcajete which is out of this world good. The sauce is killer and the fried cheese in homemade tortillas is so good.

Both the food and service was excellent!! The food had a nice presentation and our server was knowledgeable and offered outstanding customer service!!

I had read about this restaurant online and people were saying how much they enjoyed it. There was live music (two guys playing with a track of mostly country music) which is always a nice touch. Our server (male) was pretty much the only one on the floor and he never stopped. He was really a great server with way too many tables to take care of and despite this, he did a super job! We each ordered a margarita. Our chips and salsa arrived fairly quickly and we had high hopes as the chips were seasoned well and the salsa was flavorful. We waited at least 20 minutes for our margaritas to arrive and they were really lame. We watched the lady making them and she is definitely not a bartender. I hope the owner reads this review as it would be more profitable if he/she had a true bartender - drinks would come out faster and taste better=more people ordering more drinks=more profit. Now the food. Our plates arrived and you know it's unusual in a Mexican restaurant when the server doesn't say "Careful, the plates are hot". Our plates were not hot and neither was our food which was strange as we saw our food put in the window and our server immediately brought it to our table. Our food was lukewarm at best. The cheese inside of my husband's enchilada's was not melted. My husband also had a chile relleno which seemed like it was previously cooked and then slightly reheated. My husband also had a fish taco and the fish used was salmon; not what you expect in a fish taco. Not only was the food barely lukewarm, it had zero flavor which was so disappointing. The sauce served on the enchiladas was bland and reminded me of Campbell's tomato soup - same color and bland like that soup.

Great Atmosphere, great food and family-owned and operated! There's not much to say but very good things! ‍‍‍ #familybusiness #foodie #yum

I can't say enough about Tio Bens!!! From the initial welcome throughout the entire meal the service was spectacular - our chips, salsa and water refilled, our food arrived hot and sizzling (fajitas:) in no time at all, and we were greeted kindly and felt at home. Went on a Friday and were thrilled with the live music - not Mexican music- but still lovely - old favorites sung beautifully while strumming the guitar. The food was also on point! The Birria burrito was stuffed with tender, flavorful meat. The chicken fajitas were scrumptious and a very generous portion! 2 folks split the fajitas and we still took leftovers home! I would also give very high marks for the enchiladas verdes. The meat (chicken and Birria) was tender, lean and such high quality - not a bunch grizzle which is sometimes served. The green sauce was bright and the beans and rice were above average. The beer was crisp and cold and a good price. The margaritas were tasty but a tad expensive.Please treat yourself to a lovely dining experience at this family owned gem

Great experience from the time we walked in with a pleasant greeting . Casual comfortable ambiance with live music. We received professional service from our waiter he was very attentive to our wants and needs. The food was great authentic Mexican food and the salsa was delicious. Definitely will be returning. Sorry next time I will take and post pics.

Great atmosphere very family friendly! Staff very attentive. Live music by karaoke Mike Friday Saturday Sundays! Tried the fish battered tacos very good and great price. Will definitely bring my family back. Thank you tios Bens.
