    This place has solid tacos. They aren't the most authentic in Utah, but still good for Provo. Cost was reasonable for the amount of meat you get. And the salsa bar is loaded with goodies including pickled onions and jalapenos! Service was fast and friendly, and the inside is clean and bright!

    El tio special

    I got the "El Tio Special" which was 3 birria tacos and it was amazing to say the least. I also got one shrimp taco on the side which was even better. It was a little small inside but everything was great tasting and I would definitely go back.

    El Tio Taco is our new go-to taco dealer! The owners and employees were all so welcoming and kind. I felt like we were eating at a friend's place. Though the decor is simple, it is very clean and the warmth of the welcome and great food filled us. They have great options for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, and more. One tell for us is meat that is clean, without gristle or fat. We tried the asada, pork verde, carnitas, al pastor, birria, chicken, crispy potato, and nopales. We will have to try the rest next time. Everything was very good. So good. Enough that I am still thinking about it. I look forward to trying breakfast and more of the menu on our next visits, which will be happening soon.

    Our neighbor couldn't stop raving about this spot, so my husband and I decided to check it out--and we're so glad we did! For our first visit, we tried a variety of tacos, including the blackened fish, al pastor, and potato. While they were all tasty, the standout favorites were definitely the Birria and the salsa verde pork--absolutely phenomenal! We're already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the taco options, and I'm especially excited to dive into the rest of the menu. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the space itself was clean with a bright, airy aesthetic. All around, a great first visit!

    Went to el tio today and food was fresh quick and delicious. It's also not too expensive. Not the biggest burrito but i got my fill. Service was good cashier explained the dishes to my mom and overall restaurant had nice seating and a nice atmosphere. I'd be back.

    This place is killer. I've been craving birria tacos for a few weeks now so I'm super glad we found El Tio Taco! We ordered birria quesatacos, carnitas quesatacos, Jamaica, horchata, and chips/guac. Everything was EXCELLENT! The birria and carnitas were tender, juicy, and flavorful. Those were the only tacos we tried, but I imagine they're all great. The owner and employees were extremely kind. They came and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying everything, and thanked us multiple times for coming in. The restaurant was super clean. You can tell they are careful while cleaning the tables, floors, etc. All in all, we had a very positive experience and plan to come back soon. They are pretty new, so make sure to show these guys some love. You won't regret it!

    We were so impressed with the quality of the food! It is delicious! The fish and shrimp tacos are amazing! The horchata is the best I have had! The owners are so incredibly nice and the service is really good! The place is clean and it's pretty convenient to get to! It's located in the supreme burger shopping center in Provo!

    Quiero Mas was recommended to me by another local Yelper and I knew I had to give them a go! I…read moredrove all the way from Lehi just to check them out and boy, I am glad I did. It was super easy to find and because of the time of day, I found parking without a problem. I do suppose it is harder to find parking when the businesses in the area are busier. I did have a bit of trouble opening the door so the guy had to come let me in. I saw a few other people have the same issue as I was eating--it seemed to be stuck. The guy ringing up my order recommended the burritos but I had already made up my mind before I arrived: Birria Tacos and Elote on the cop...but in a cup. They also had Jamaica which I thought was awesome because I have only been able to find Jamaica in more southern areas like Houston...so I ordered a glass of that too! The food came out super quickly. The Birria Tacos were a bit small but they were also less than $10 so I still consider that a win! They were packed with flavor and I loved the consume on the side as well. Now, the whole reason I came is because I have seen the trend of Mexican Street Corn and wanted to try it for myself. Not a lot of places I have been to offer it so I was excited to find a place that did offer it. I like all the ingredients within the dish so I thought I would love it...but I didn't :( I really didn't like it at all. I rarely don't finish my food and I didn't finish my cup of corn. One thing I will say though, is it seems like I just don't like this specific food and it has nothing to do with the way it was made. It was presentable and exactly what they said it would be. I am just not sure why I didn't like it. As for everything else, it was awesome. I really really really got a kick out of the decor inside. It is more than cute and you can tell they put so much effort into the design of the place. It is also very spacious--there is plenty of seating for you and your friends. I drove from Lehi just to go here and I recommend people in the area do the same!!

    More of a 3.5 ishhh for me. Service was great! They got our…read moreorder out quickly considering how many different things in the menu we ordered. One thing I did appreciate about this place is the amount of meat you get on your taco. They are not stingy at all! Carnitas tacos for me were okay. I wanted to love it but it was a little dry and bland. When I added sauces it tasted a little better. I'd say like a 2.5/5 Gringas pastor- 4/5 I wished there was more pineapple I felt like it paired well with the meat. For there being cheese on top I expected it to be a little crispy but it wasn't. I still thought it was good. Gringas asada- 5/5 the asada meat was good Birria tacos with consume- 3/5- I felt like the Birria was a little bland and needed more salt. Still enjoyed it but didn't hit the spot. I did however wish I tried this dish as the QUESO BIRRIA- which there being cheese on it I think makes the taco a little more solid. So maybe I'll try that next time. Esquites - 5/5 it was delicious. All the sauces they had though were delicious so anything you paired it with tasted a little better. Overall this place I liked. They have such a variety in their menu that I wouldn't mind coming back if I'm in the area and trying other things out. Staff were really great and friendly. The ambiance there is super cute and mellow.

You can order by phone as well. They have pozole and menudo as well if you're interested in some authentic Mexican soup. They have a small salsa bar so you can get whatever kind you want. As of 05/2020 they do not have a website. A scammer set up a fake one that takes your money, but your order and money does not go to the restaurant. One of my favorite places I've recently found in Provo. Los mejores sopes que he probado en Provo. Las carnitas y asada tienen muy buen sabor. Su horario ha sido un poco esporádico a causa de las nuevas reglas del coronavirus. Últimamente, yo les he marcado para averiguar si están abiertos o no. Se puede hacer la orden por teléfono también. Tienen pozole y menudo por si les interesa. También tienen un bar de salsas para que puedan escoger el tipo que deseen. A partir del 05/2020 no tienen un sitio web. Un estafador creó una página falsa que toma su dinero, pero su pedido y dinero no van al restaurante. Sin duda es uno de mis restaurantes favoritos que yo recién he encontrado en Provo.
