We were looking for a great Mexican restaurant in Egg Harbor Township and Yelp led us to Tacos El…read moreTio. There were several Mexican restaurants to choose from and many had great Yelp reviews. After careful consideration .... Tacos El Tio was our pick and so glad it was! What a gem. And they have a full liquor license with tons of great drinks, especially if you're looking for a margarita! I opted for a nice Mandarin Jarritos soda -- i was just in the mood. They also have screens with sporting events on + an area with a full bar to hang. They have booths and areas for large tables too - so it's great for the whole family or a nice date night. My husband loved his steak fajitas and could not stop raving about them. He loved them! I ordered the chicken fajita enchilada..and it was ginormous - - you could make two meals out of it! Sorry I dont have more photos - - we were hungry! :) And I cannot forget our awesome server, Jose! He was a super nice server and loved that he was from Ecuador - - where we recently traveled! We will definitely be back. I just made your Mexican restaurant selection for Egg Harbor Township easy!

A fun time at Egg Harbor's second-best Mexican restaurant…read more If you look at Yelp, you'll see there's another Mexican restaurant that has a slightly better rating than Tacos El Tio. HOWEVER, that other place is BYOB, and if you want to have an alcoholic beverage, for example, a margarita, you'll need to bring your own tequila. Tacos El Tio is a full-service Mexican restaurant that offers well-crafted beverages alongside delicious food. Now, to the specifics... TET has lots of parking. The inside is large, clean, and offers plenty of comfortable seating. You might prefer a table or booth that's on the far side of the dining room, well away from the bar area with its speakers and any loud conversations. Our server, Julie, was attentive, efficient, and delightful. They offer a range of margaritas, from specialty concoctions to their margaritas-on-tap. The on-tap version is about half the cost of the concocted version and, in my opinion, a far better value. As for food, all we tried, all we had to try, was their Los Nachos El Tio. That was a plate, heaped high with corn tortillas, layered with nacho stuff, along with generous portions of beef, chicken, and chorizo. And, unlike the nachos offered by some places, the good stuff wasn't merely a topping; it was interspersed with chips from top to bottom. And it was enough that even though we started off hungry, and even though it was delicious, my wife and I couldn't finish it. The only thing we'll do at our next visit is leave out the chorizo; it was our least favorite of the three proteins. TLDR: Sit somewhere far from the bar, get the least expensive margaritas, order the nachos (maybe without the chorizo), and leave your tequila at home.

This simple yet incredibly cute Mexican spot tucked into a strip mall serves truly top-level…read moreauthentic food. The TR Bowl is no joke, the protein portion alone is enough for several people to share (see photo). I've honestly never seen a restaurant be this generous with their protein. The Birria Egg Rolls with consomé are bursting with flavor. One bite and you'll immediately understand why they stand out and what I am talking about. The Birria Ramen arrives in an insanely large bowl and includes three tacos, making it an excellent value. Don't skip dessert!!! Do yourself a favor and get the churrios. They come out hot, crispy and dusted with sugar. The prices are spot on for what you are getting. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I promise you will leave smiling!

We had the fish tacos, which were fresh and full of flavor and also surprisingly not lacking in quantity, which is something I feel like I typically struggle with when order fish tacos. The birria fries can be passed on. Again huge amount but the fries were nothing special so I would definitely try a burrito, taco or other birria item on the menu next time

First we started with a Mexican Coke and they never disappoint. The wife and I started off with the Al Pastor and the steak tacos, which were outstanding!!!! This will definitely be one of my top two taco spots! Next we had the guacamole with chicharron which was amazing and it included tortilla chips. Lastly we ended our lunch with the Birria Egg Rolls they were on another level of greatness, we will get them again for sure. Now let's talk about the 5 star service, our waitress Gabriela was freaking excellent we couldn't have asked for a better waitress. She was so friendly and pleasant I wish more waitresses were more like her. The ambiance was great the eating area has a pink theme and they decorated for Christmas very well because the colors did not clash it all blended well. We cannot wait to come back, but next time we will bring the whole family. Do not think twice about it just walk in and be ready for some greatness! I had to comeback and edit my post. I forgot one of the most important parts of the meal, the tortillas are homemade and they are phenomenal!!!!!

But like I said the flavoring was its saving grace. On the opposite side the quesadilla was underdone, the cheese wasn't hardly melted. I ordered guac and chips and ended up with pico and chips... not ideal. Not a fan of pico so the chips were fine. Order was fast but enough wrong that made it a bit disappointing considering we had been dying to try this place since we got to OC 4 days ago!

Great little place in the old Hutch's (or Heinzers) Corner Store, next to the old Finkbinders TV for all you old people that went to the NJ Avenue School back in the day. I mean way back, when there where no electric typewriters. Anyway, it's a BYOB place with very good food. I had a dinner that was on the top of the third page of the menu, called the Grand Fiesta Combo which include Rice, Beans, Taco, Tostada, Chicken Sope, and an Enchilada. Too much for me to eat. Wife got Burrito with the Rice and beans. Would bring my own Salsa next time because theirs was a little tame for me, however nice dinner and close to home. Prices are very reasonable and menu is on web site. Will be back.
