Was looking for a place that 'might' serve a good hamburger. We use to go to Ma's in Leesburg, but they changed their beef and it is not the same. Still a good place to eat. Did not want a chain/fast food place. Did not want frozen burger patties. Wanted a place with just good cooking. We had seen this place several times going to Tyler. Always thought we might stop and check it out. So, when we left Tyler and hadn't eaten yet, it was a perfect time to stop here. Only one lady waiting tables but she was quick for the amount of people. Husband had a cheese burger with grilled onions (no up charge and whole rings grilled not chopped) and crispy tater tots. I had the beef burrito à la cart with chili sauce. I thought ordering à la cart would mean a smaller burrito, not!! Everything was delicious. This is a 'regulars' joint. Where everyone that lives close, and some that don't, come to enjoy good food and good company. Will visit here again. read more

We used to go regularly and enjoyed our favorite waitress Pam. The restaurant actually had become so dirty. Pam opened up a diner next door and it is so much better. Clean, great food and great service. Pam's Diner is a much better choice! read more

Excellent staff, food, and service! Food is very reasonably priced. We will be back next time we're passing through.

I was visiting family for Christmas and they suggested we go here as it's one of their favorite local spots. My grandmother loves their shrimp quesadilla. My husband ordered the shrimp quesadilla and I got the huevos rancheros. The service started a little rocky but our server was very nice and helpful as I have a pork allergy and she was able to help me choose a save option to eat. The food came out pretty quick and was delicious! I had a side of hashbrowns with my meal and they were nice and crispy. All the food was fresh and it was just like having a nice hime cooked meal. read more

They have good home cooking. The service is good. It's got some cute stuff for decorations. read more

We had a pretty long day and we were starving (so we thought) and this place was perfect for us. A local restaurant with the local Winonians hanging out. It's a bit like stepping into the past with a kind, polite waitress giving us the specials and good info for eating there. We enjoyed hometown comfort foods and both my hubby and would order those meals again. I had the hamburger steak and he had fried catfish. These meals came with a dessert- peach pie and blackberry cobbler. We plan on making it to breakfast sometime in the near future. read more

Went for lunch. Today was Beef tips and rice. The best tasting food I have had in a very long time. And $9.99 for this. Wow. It was too much for me. If your traveling on I-20 it's a great place and not very far from the interstate. read more

Been told bout this place numerous times. Finally decided to stop on on and hit an order to go even though at this point in time they allowed sit down dining. Ordered the CFS with a side of fried okra and mac&cheese. Came with a little peach cobb desert. The mack&cheese plus the okra was delicious. The CFS was ok. Definitely good on the portion side. Wish I was in town still, I would like to go again. If you are driving through Winona TX, give this place a shot. read more

Great home cooking! I was in town working at the high school and Too's was recommended. I ordered the daily special and was not disappointed. The waitress could have been a bit more welcoming, but I won't hold that against them. Maybe she was just having an off day. ‍ read more

Service here is the worst there is one waiters that is friends with the owners and she has no customer service skills. She needs to find another job. There is only about two of the waiter that are nice and say hello and thank you. read more

Don't miss this place well worth the stop Chicken fried steak from dinner menu excellent for breakfast. Great staff super nice read more

Food was good, not great. Need to try again. Had CFS, decent. Green beans were excellent, mashed potatoes very good. Catfish by was OK, not outstanding. Onion Rings good, not great. Will go back and follow-up review. Overall - good/very good, but not great. Expected to be blown away (based on recommendations), but never happened. read more

Traditional Mexican food. Ambience lacking somewhat. Reasonably priced. Only one waitress working - taking orders, delivering food, and busing tables. Way overworked, but not overwhelmed. No surprise she had some attitude and was slow to respond to requests like silverware or cream for coffee. We gave her a nice tip. She was too busy to notice. read more

The restaurant is not upscale. It is a well used country restaurant located on the main highway in Winona. The service is somewhat slow. They have breakfast items, some Mexican food, and regular American food like burgers, and more. The food is fairly good. I have tried several different items. They have daily specials, as well as menu items. Their salsa is too hot for my liking. One thing I do not like, is that they do not wash their menus between customers, adding to spread of germs in this covid era. The parking is bad with potholes, and only one handicap spot. The friendliness has a lot to be desired. It seems they are always short handed on waitresses. The prices are reasonable for what you get. I may add more later. read more

Small restaurant, great food. Love their chicken fried steak. Inexpensive! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Can't say anything about the food! We never got to try it! Rude service from the second we walked in got nothing but nasty looks! We asked for sweet tea and was told no we close in 30 minutes and I'm not making more! Ok no problem we will leave! read more

Great food. Extremely lousy service. You'll grow old and draw a pension waiting on that second glass of tea. Service and food diametrically opposites. Great food, lousy service should be there motto. read more

Best local restaurant! Great daily specials and a wonderful breakfast. We go 2-3 times a week!

I been several times for breakfast and a quick lunch , always been fast, friendly and tasty ! Great place to grab a bite to eat !

Love this place. I eat here multiple times per week since it's the only restaurant in town but they definitely have some good food. The ladies are always so sweet and greet me by name when I come in. Love the enchiladas and street tacos with avocado salsa. The cheeseburgers are pretty delicious too! Will forever be a #BackporchBabe read more

Went there on Yelp recommendations. Had breakfast, pancakes, grits, eggs and bacon. All cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Great find! read more

Excellent food and service. I had the enchiladas and homemade salsa. Also had the homemade guacamole. Love this place.

Never would have stopped or even seen it without yelp, matter of fact had to make a u turn to find it but glad we did. From California and driving back from a trip wanted one last meal of good ol cookin before we left and that's exactly what we got. Great food, friendly people, thank you! We'll be back. read more

We stopped here on the way from Gladewater to Fort Worth. Great little diner, breakfast all day and daily specials plus Mexican food. Some might call it rustic but the food was excellent and such charming, friendly people. Husband had ham and cheese omelet, I had CFS mashed potatoes and great green beans. Free cobbler with specials! YUM!!! read more

Good food, great prices. The staff is always really nice and we like to get to go! I really enjoyed their breakfast tacos and burgers.

Great little local place we found off the hwy on the way back to Dallas. You get a lot of food for your money and the staff is friendly. If we lived near here, it would be a spot we would stop at often. read more

Since my previous review, we have discovered their onion rings... PERFECT!! We usually order a burger with fries, and another burger with onion rings, and my husband prefers his with tater tots!!! Yummy yum yum !!!! read more

On a recommendation, my husband and I made the drive from UT Health for breakfast in between appointments. It's a homey place. On the down side no cream for the coffee- milk or packaged powder creamer only. The sugar top was rusted and the coffee mug cracked and chipped. Back dining room has smoking, can smell the smoke in the front dining area. The prices are very reasonable. The food was excellent and so was the service! I gave it 3 stars for cleanliness and the smoke smell... I think we'd return. read more

Very good breakfast. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Used a quality, thick sliced, perfectly cooked bacon. Fluffy tender biscuits. Huge portion of crispy, yet tender hashbrowns. Will definitely stop again when we're traveling through. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner... maybe a fresh coat of paint would be a plus. read more

Small, friendly restaurant with your typical down home country fare. Fried everything, typical Mexican choices, and the standard peach cobbler. It's clean, but run down and in need of repair. Ladies room faucet drips, floors are rustic. All in all, not a bad little place for a bite to eat. read more

Hole in the wall but not a bad spot to grab a bite to eat to or fr Shreveport. Seat yourself w/ Mexican food. Waitress even filled Yeti full of tea w/ Sonic ice for the road. read more

Tio's Backporch Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Winona, Texas

Little roadside diner with a uncomplicated menu. We came here for breakfast, stack of plate sized pancakes, with good flavor and cooked perfectly. Side of sausage patties, standard issue and non remarkable. Biscuits and gravy. Gravy is the thick, powdered kind without added spice or actual sausage that is required to make a good gravy. Biscuits were light, fluffy, warm and had good flavor. Side of crispy, thick bacon. Prices are fair and our waitress was friendly, cute and attentive. read more

This place is a seriously hidden gem in east Texas. By far my favorite place to eat. The waitresses are so sweet and really good at what they do. The food is phenomenal. The breakfast- best breakfast for 100 miles. We drive 20mi to get here and eat. The omelets are huge, and hash browns are my favorite. The lunch special is fantastic. For 8$ you get a chicken fried steak, two fresh sides, and dessert. Also have catfish and one other option. They have Mexican food with chips and salsa, also great. You just can't go wrong here, and the prices are unbeatable. It feels like grandma is cooking for you. Consistently good service and food. The atmosphere may turn some people off, its old and outdated and they have a separate room where you can smoke but I grew up eating at places like this and I'm glad to see they still exist. The bathrooms are always clean. If that won't scare you away, which I suggest you get your food to go if it does, get in the car and go. Absolutely must take the time to check it out! read more
