Overpriced and stingy. They do not even give chips! Then, there was a bill dispute and the manager was extremely aggravated to help. The food is not bad but nothing to brag about. I do like the fish tacos. I've ordered them several times. Then, I found out that the manager was making the staff do weird things to get Yelp and Google reviews. That was kind of weird. Anyway, after the manager was rude to me, I did not want to go back read more

Very basic. Needs more variety. The restaurant is a good size. Wait staff is friendly. Wasn't what I was expecting. Not authentic at all but the empanadas are delicious. read more

Tacos are tasty. You can mix and match styles. Great selection of drinks and tequila. Service slow. Our waiter, Cash, very un attentive. Had to get the manager a few times just to get service. Definately come again but a different waiter. read more

Good food Great drinks and a wonderful staff. Thanks for the warm welcome for the 7 of us 10 minutes before the kitchen closed.

Food was amazing..Jolie was our server and she was awesome. Thank you for a great time read more

Food was good. Drinks were okay, nothing to rave about. I had the Hell High drink thinking it would have a slight spice with the habanero tequila but it was just okay. My date and I started with chips and guac which was fantastic. The house made chips were the best I've had in a long time. We both got fried fish tacos and shrimp tacos, both pretty good. Our server was Ashley and she was extremely sweet & nice!! read more

Went there for a drink on a Monday and found that Margaritas were 1/2 price on Mondays. You need to pay for chips and salsa unlike most Mex. places. read more

So my best friend and I found this spot on Instagram and we could not wait to experience this place as we both love tacos! The ambiance of the place was decent a little dark if you ask me we had to use our flash light on our phones to look at the menu, which is weird for a restaurant lol. But the biggest issue for me was when we ordered our food, I ordered 3 tacos as there is a 2 taco minimum, the tacos was trash. I only partially ate one and it was enough for me to know that I hated it and didn't want the other two. So I spoke with manager KELLY and she assured me that it was ok that I could order something else instead of the previous sucky tacos. So I went ahead and ordered the chicken nachos that my best friend daughter had ordered cuz I knew those were ok. I would not have ordered a different entree had I known they would charge me for any of those tacos. When I spoke with Manager KELLY about the bill she was dismissive as well as nonchalant about it insisting that I ate the whole taco which never happened and that she did us a favor by taking the other two untouched tacos off. For me it isn't about the money you know, it's more about customer satisfaction and the deception for me. I would have never ordered another full entree had they been forth coming about the charges. As well as because of the wait for my second meal I was no longer hungry so I barely touched the nachos lol. I wish Manager KELLY was more clear about her intentions with our bill instead of assuming that we knew her intent. Going forward I think this place could benefit from better lighting, and better manager customer communication. I know that all this could of been avoided had she been more clear as opposed to assuming. Cuz we all know what they say about assuming........ read more

My friends and I went to Tio Taco + Tequila last Friday night, and wow was it absolutely delicious. There was a very long wait of an hour and 40 minutes, but honestly it was worth it! The food was so flavorful and fresh. The beef empanadas were my favorite. Definitely will be coming back. read more

A bit of a wait but seating outside is beautiful! The food was all really good but the drinks weren't amazing - do not recommend getting whiskey at a tequila bar. 10/10 for wait staff - shout out Steve! read more

Amazing food and fun atmosphere.... drinks are a m a z i n g!!! Trendy with a great TRADITIONAL Mexican feel. Staff are eager to please. Nice outdoor space and a great fit for the area which has limited fun restaurants.. GO!! I really think you will love it.. forget the " Imitation" Mexican joints... go to the more authentic read more

Tio Taco + Tequila Bar - Wall art - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Me and my boyfriend LOVE this place. I love the margaritas. My fav !!!! My boyfriend is obsessed with the fajitas lol. But the food is amazing as well. Bartenders are really great , service is good. I can't complain. They take care of their customers for sure. I recommend this place!!!!!!!!!! read more

First time guest here. No wait to get a table, even though restaurant was very full! Waitress immediately came to our table, and our drinks, appetizers, and food were all brought out less than ten minutes after we ordered each of them!! Food was absolutely delicious, waitress was helpful in recommending items as well as checking in on us every so often. Prices were good for the amount of food you get & the quality of it. I got the fish taco and the Al pastor taco--both were absolutely delicious. The fish on the fish taco was some of the best I've ever tasted in my life. Also--ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer. Chips were flavorful and there was more than enough salsa! Churros for dessert were very delicious--appreciated that the chocolate sauce they came with was not just Hershey's chocolate syrup, but was actually rich-tasting fudge. Restaurant was very clean and beautiful as well (maybe a little dark). Music they played was super fun! Will definitely be back! read more

Came here the other night and it was phenomenal! The Chipotle Chicken Torta was so delicious along with the Margarita Flight (not really that strong so we ordered a shot to add into the drinks). It was a bit pricey but the atmosphere, service and COVID precautions were great! I'll definitely be coming back here. read more

The only thing I liked about this place was the drink I had. Our app was over seasoned, the waitress recommended one of their specials that qwas absolutely disappointing. Overall, it's just not authentic Mexican cuisine. I wouldn't come to this place. Although service was mediocre! read more

Grilled shrimp and grilled fish taco's were very good. My only problem with the restaurant is that there is a $5.00 charge for chips and salsa. $5.00 doesn't seem like much but it's the principle of it. read more

A new Mexican restaurant that opened up in the Edison area and Mexican cuisine is one of my favorite. My friends and I ordered the quesadilla, nachos and veggie fajitas. The quesadilla was average. It was a tortilla stuffed with cheese served with lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. However, the nachos and fajitas were excellent. The base of the nachos is a housemade salted lime tortilla chips topped with an assortment of Mexican three cheese blend, pico de gallo, jalapeños and cotija cheese, served with sour cream, salsa verde and refried beans. The salsa verde was tangy and spicy, which was perfect. Lastly, the fajitas were simply mouthwatering. There were onions, bell pepper, sweet potato, and grilled mushroom in the sizzling fajitas. The tortilla was warm and the side of rice and beans was awesome. All in all, a good Mexican restaurant that needs some changes to make it a perfect restaurant. For instance, there are few vegetarian options and the quantity is less for the price paid. read more

We had dinner here tonight and were absolutely happy with everything. Their COVID compliance was perfect - spaced tables, everyone wearing masks, etc. We ordered the ranchero guacamole for an appetizer and it was awesome. We got tacos (pork belly, avocado, and short rib) and a chicken quesadilla in addition to margaritas (house blood orange, classic, and prickly pear). Everything was superb. The blood orange margarita was a little too sweet for me, but that's the fruit's fault, not the restaurant! Our server was attentive and friendly and overall we had no complaints. Will definitely be back to try the rest of those tacos! read more

Bad service. The waiter was rude and refused to help us when we asked. The food portions were small and tasted average. Would not recommend.

The food was great and so were the drinks. I'm not a fan of corn, but the elote was delicious. We ended up ordering more food than we could stomach, because everything looked so appetizing. Service was amazing; someone was always coming by to make sure that we were doing good, in a non-intrusive kind of way. You're going to get your money's worth for sure. read more

Not a fan of the food. The ambiance and service was fine. The beans that came with the food felt like it was straight out of a can. No seasoning or anything. The guac felt under seasoned and the fajitas severely lacked salt. read more

This place is horrible. They charge full price for the "to go" drinks that are in tiny plastic cups filled halfway. The sangria just wasn't good. The food gave me heartburn and just wasn't good mexican. Definitely wouldn't bother wasting your time here. Please bring back Zinburger! read more

Saturday Sep 26, 1pm sat outside Should Mexican themed restaurants play dance music to create ambiance? I'd rather have no music than listen to that crap. We order 2 beers ... almost 10min for them to be served. Bar was 10ft away from our seats. We order before he disappears again: we would like to start with chips and salsa and then an order of fish tacos and chicken tacos. He says, got it. 15min later, he's passing by, I ask, hey, chips and salsa??? His response, hey, don't worry about it, it's coming. It was said in a polite way without any attitude. My point is, a customer doesn't want to hear their wait person respond to any question with "don't worry about it". Poor choice of words. If I wasn't concerned where my chips and salsa were after 15min, I wouldn't have asked, right? Almost 25min and they serve chips and salsa along with 1 fish taco and 1 chicken taco instead of an order of fish tacos and an order of chicken tacos. I think an experienced wait person would have asked: so that's one order with 1 fish and 1 chicken? Outside was 3/4 full and inside was 3/4 empty. .. why 25min for such a small order? Chips were basic, salsa was ok, tacos were decent. All the margaritas were $10 ... :( I suppose they need some more practice read more

Good service, great tequila options and taco Tuesday is a must. This place can get pretty busy so I would plan accordingly.

Worst service. I got sat to the table , waiting for ever and then a server come to us to take the drinks . We were waiting for our drinks and another server came with our drinks and just drop to the table so we thought the probably this girl was helping our sever . So then after a few minutes waiting to be taken our order, this server came and said to us that the girl brought our drinks was taking our order and become our server too. It was a mess everything really . And the end we order many items and drinks our bill was almost $100 between 2 people and we hadn't finish our drinks and food and the server place our check on the table so we really disfruta pay attention because we didn't ask for the check and then the manager came to us to said that we were already 90 minutes on the table so people was waiting to be seated too. I can't believe this happened to us, come on my bill was $100 in less than 90 minutes and you said that I have to leave , what kind pf profesional is this manager ??? No recommended this restaurant , treat me like shit read more

Tio Taco + Tequila Bar - Fajitas and strawberry margarita - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

As die hard Tommy's fans we couldn't wait to try Tio Eh All I can say The staff is very efficient but cmon - give some salsa and chips! Appetizers are good; pricy and DECENT Entrees are standard but pricier and much smaller than the competition Fajitas had very little meat!!!!! Where's the BEEF??? The chimichanga was good but we laughed- All rice and beans - could not find chicken anywhere Overall the competition gives you a better and heartier product Rice and beans were old and the guac that came with the fajitas was embarrassing- like a teaspoon! Cocktails- $$$ for Edison in my opinion I like the tequila based list but they were out of several things including watermelon which is an option or in a couple things Idk Hostess was kind, perturbed we didn't want to sit in the colder 'bar seating' facing a glass wall-which we would've if there didn't have tables available!!! Very rushed to pay and get out-which I get and am very aware of, even though there was no wait and tables available- and I had just ordered a full cocktail! Overall could be a fun hopping concept but for us, the competition is much much MUCH better That being Jose Tajas read more

Omg if I could give this place 100 stars I would!!!! The food is sooooo freaking good and that elote is heavenly!!!! The service is amazing as well Jennifer was the sweetest and attentive Not to mention the music is so good makes the whole experience such a great time!!! Also if your not sure what drink to get frozen drink to get the frozen flight is a great choice for variety. The wait is quite long but well worth it!!! read more

Went for the first time last week we loved our waitress she was cool and down to earth plus the Vibe and the food was good , I will return ! read more

If you modify menu items they don't come out as ordered. Some bar staff are very good, others seem overwhelmed. Needed silverware and had to take them off another table. Experience are hit or miss. read more

Second time here. This time I blew out my WW points lol. Had the skirt steak w rice, black beans & maduros (sweet plantains). Absolutely delicious - no regrets. Waitress was very nice & checked on us more than once (that happened my first time there too so clearly they have a good training set up). Nice variety in their cocktail list. No doubt will go back. read more

Chimichanga on point. Kids quesadilla love it. Service was good and food price fair. Overall definitely coming back.

Horrible customer service is an understatement. Even the manager was rude. I was waiting to be acknowledged while the hostesses chatted and sat other parties. The hostess gave me an attitude when I told her I have been standing here waiting she told me " no I wasn't" then said " well then how can I help you". When I asked for the manager and explained my experience he said "I find that hard to believe". The hassle and the level of unprofessionalism was not even worth staying for a meal. read more

Decided to come back again to Tio Taco the day before Cinco de Mayo, beat the crowd lol. We ordered lots of apps: the chicken flautas were fantastic & so was the street corn! Quesadillas were delicious as well. The empanadas were just okay, our least favorite. Of course their tacos are terrific, especially the chorizo & pork. I had the blackened chicken salad as my main course. Can't go wrong! For dessert we shared the churros...there were plenty to go around! We will be trying their newest location next time!!! Xoxo read more

I hate to give a "bad" review but unfortunately, this one calls for it. My girlfriends and I ate here this past weekend and were completely unimpressed. The decor is nice but we'd see it better (and our menu) if the lighting wasn't so low. The music was so loud that we had to yell to talk to each other. The margarita on the rocks I had was all rocks and overpriced. The food...oh boy...no flavor. My friend's flautas were cold and flavorless (not even salt). My other friend's quesadilla was very overdone and solidly dark brown. I don't eat salsa but my friend said it was not great. My fajita was ok but the amount of toppings was very lacking. They brought us another plate of toppings so that was good. Everything was pretty bland. There was another order of fajitas and some tacos....nobody was really happy. Our waitress was a nice girl...so that's good. We're not going to make another trip back. read more

Personally, didn't care for what I ordered, chicken enchiladas. I thought they were dry and the sides were bland, rice and beans. My daughter had the skirt steak which was tasty. The nachos were the star of the meal. If you want good Mexican, you might want to go elsewhere. Waitress was wonderful! read more

Love Tios Tacos! Came here on a date with my hubby and Bobby was our server. He was the most attentive server we have had in a long time! Was a great dinner and even better service. Thanks guys!!! read more

Delicious tacos and would have given four stars if the tacos would come with some chips and some salsa. There is a minimum of two tacos per order so roughly $12 for the two. Tossing in some chips would be no big deal. For a rice and beans side dish it will cost an extra six bucks! Seems ludicrous. The tortas do include fries so why not the tacos? Feels odd Hubby had very tasty fajitas and guess what? It cane with rice and beans! Good luck in the new Marlboro location. read more

First time and I chose to throw a Bday dinner for babygirl. The location's decor is awesome: Fresh and modern interpretation on a Texmexican style. The staff is friendly and helpful. But the food was disappointing. Ordered a few apps: wings (I don't eat meat so I didn't try them but the wing lovers didn't gobble them up either), and nachos which were terrible. Taco Bell nachos are better than the soggy mess that was served up. It lacked the usual fresh toppings too. But it did come with a side of sour cream that was frozen solid. I dont drink liquor but my crew does, and they commented on the weak portion in their cocktails. My main entre (salmon burger with fries) was so bad that I sent it back and I didn't bother to reorder a replacement. The bun was cold like it had been in the refrigerator and the fries were not fresh but definitely had been sitting around for a while to. Inspite of weak drinks and food that was kinda awful we made the best of it and enjoyed the celebration. Our waiter and a beautiful dark haired female manager really tried to accommodate us and fix the food issues but the kitchen was not up to par. To end on a positive note perhaps it was just a bad night which took place during their first week of operation. Also the fried cheese cake dessert was really yummy. Based on how crowded it got, if the kitchen and bar can pull it together, this trendy venue could become a go to spot. As for me, I won't be back but I wish them luck! read more
