I visited El Tio based on my boyfriend's recommendation, and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The vibrant décor was eye-catching, and the lively ambiance, paired with upbeat music, made for a welcoming atmosphere.We started with the complimentary chips, which were so delicious that I even asked for extra to take home. For our appetizer, we ordered the Platanos Fritos, served with a side of creamy sour cream--a perfect balance of sweetness and richness.For the main course, my partner had the beef enchiladas, which were flavorful and well-prepared. I opted for the sizzling chicken fajitas, which came with fresh tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, beans, rice, and pico de gallo. The portions were incredibly generous, and I ended up taking leftovers home--making for the perfect lunch the next day.One thing to keep in mind is that parking can be a bit difficult to find on weekends, so plan accordingly.This was my first time dining here, but it certainly won't be my last!

Nachos: i have never encountered a "build your own nacho" situation. Frankly, this gave me a taste of my own medicine. I rummage around town for platters of nachos to critique, and on this day, the tables had turned. If I didn't like my nacho chip, it wasn't on anyone but me. I hate to admit it, but perhaps this is exactly what someone like me needs. Someone who straddles a Type A and a Type B personality. Someone who likes the mess, but is selective about how the mess should appear, or in this instance, taste. I enjoyed building my own nachos. I'd take this any day over the disgraceful nachos I've had at other places. All else: honestly, it was quite relaxing and entertaining to kick back and watch sports on 4 different screens at once. With all the media I consume at once on a daily basis, I feel I'd be immune to electric shock therapy. My brain's gone numb from all the bloody screens, but I enjoyed watching the football games. I say football and I urge you to as well, as it is the sport where the ball is kicked by the foot, and not thrown in the air to be chased by broad shouldered men. Anywho, staff were lovely & attentive. I was having a nice time til the music started blaring. That was my cue to leave.

Went to El Tio for the first time after driving past it a couple of times that day. We really liked it. We shared the beef and chicken fajitas and had space for dessert which was churros.The food was very good and the service was friendly and quick. The price is reasonable and this seems like a really nice family run place.We are definitely going back.

I've been here many times and El Tio is still the best Tex-Mex in the area. I've never had a bad meal here and like that I can get Mexican style or other Latin food here. Their Lechoncito Al Horno (roasted pork with onions and plantains) is worth the trip alone since you can't get that everywhere. Their classic Tex-Mex items and table side guacamole and always worth a try and you can't go wrong with one of their margaritas or Corona-ritas.Service is always friendly and efficient here and I'll be back here many times in the future.

This is a good place. Who doesn't love Tex Mex food? Prices are one area of contention, but rents and inflation are nuts right now. The quality of the platters and sides is high. I absolutely love their enchiladas, as they pack a spicy punch. Anything I've ordered here has been above average. That consistency is appreciated. The service here is solid as a rock. Each visit have felt valued here. Good date spot. Also they have a nice bar, with a lot of beverages available. Please remember Uber or other transportation methods. Staff here are good folks, and it's certainly a clean/cozy restaurant. Check this place out!

Cincoooo De Mayo celebration!!! Was a miss as they were overwhelmed it seemed. There was a wait for a table but there were plenty of open tables available. The service was the most friendly and very appreciative of that but the food just took way too long. The kitchen seemed very backed up and for our appetizers it took 45 minutes. Besides that hiccup, the food was delicious and tasty! The green sauce was very good and had to be asked for separately. The ambiance was fun and a great place to hang out with friends and family on a Friday after a long week of work. Will be back...maybe just at another time when the occasion is slower. Enjoy!

Confession #08093557 I LOVE El Tio! The steak fajitas NEVER miss. I had it delivered it during my mom's visit in July and she is still wishing it ate it all least a couple more times before she left. And she looked for it in Texas Lol I've been ordering this for years and realized I hadn't given them their flowers .
