In reading these reviews, looks the first obvious thing to report back on is - THIS IS NOT A SPECIAL OCCASSION RESTAURANT. Do not come here if you are looking for a fancy place to eat mexican food bc you will be disappointed. That being said, yall, i love Tios! They will use a lot of cheese, you have been warned, but I personally like it. I love their tostada bowl, I love their chile relleno, I actually really like their chili verde and i love their breakfast, my favorite being the huevos rancheros. I like coming to the tios on Lemon but the one by Day Creek is just as clean and nice. I love tios and I don't understand the negative reviews other than perhaps you were expecting a sit down restaurant, which its not since you are expected to order and pay for your food at the cashier, so theres that. The service is always great, you order at the cashier but they will bring you your food and clean up the table too so thats where your tip is going if you eat in. They also serve beer. See ya soon, Tios! read more

Food: 1, Service: -5, Cleanliness: 0 I've been living in this city for 16 months, and this is the worst Mexican food I've had. read more

They have a Tuesday special where they do tacos you have a choice of potato, shredded meat, or chicken. It's buy one get one free, which is the only way I would get it. I wouldn't pay full price for these they're OK and I get it. It's an abundance that they probably make. It was wild to me that they charge for green salsa, which majority of places don't When I come back, only if I was in the area, I wouldn't go out of my way read more

My FAVORITE MEXICAN FOOD! The food is always FRESH, HOT & Delicious. They never disappoint. I love the beans & rice here. The entrees are amazing. The salsa bar has these carrots that are marinated or something that is wonderful and they are mild NOT HOT! They go right along with whichever entree you pick. I've ate at a lot of Mexican Restaurant's and this is my absolute hands down favorite place to eat!! read more

I ordered Saturday spend $82 for birthday. We ordered asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, fish tacos, asada nachos, 2 beef enchilada combo, 1 beef burito... only nacho not so great... the chips is so stale, beans not hot. I will not order nachos no more. The rest is pretty good. read more

Long time customer, great food, good atmosphere and excellent service. Really like the chile verde and the crispy tacos.

Great service, friendly staff fast service. Food is c+ but it's close and fast that's why I go

I've been coming to Tio's for many years! I was introduced to it by a family friend and I've had the honor of introducing my family and other friends to it as well over the years. I've never had anything bad here. The food is SO GOOD! Definitely satisfies the craving when you want good Mexican food! Their burritos are PACKED! Lately I've been ordering their chicken taquitos and they are so good. Their rice and beans are amazing as well. They also have a decent salsa bar and they let me grab a couple of little to-go cups of their salsa to take with me when I order for take out. This place is SO nice after the remodel. So happy they were able to stay in the same spot and just expand. Nice decor and plenty of seating. And it's very clean. I typically order for take out these days and I like coming in myself because the staff is so friendly. A couple of them still remember me from when I was in college lol! I definitely recommend giving Tio's a try. This is the original location and I feel like it's honestly the best one. read more

Where do I begin? I asked for a chicken quesadilla and all I got was chicken and a flour tortilla. The quesadilla was wrapped like a burrito. (See photos)and the sad part about it is that the lady said that she's just as shocked as we are well get your people and get them together and make sure they know how to cook cause when people are spending their hard earned money and this economy I'm gonna need you to do better. I feel that you guys have dropped the ball this time and I feel like you need to do better in the near future for other customers cause you just lost one. read more

$16 for a small, very cold, sorry excuse for a carne asada burrito. Such a shame after growing up with this place, but never again. The taco stand gives you twice the food and better quality for only $10. read more

We've been going here for years. As the kids appetite grew, their Taco Tuesday has been a saving grace to help the pain of the shrinking wallet. With picky eaters, their hard shell tacos have yet to disappoint especially after the kids hard workout/game. Lately we've either gone to-go or dined outside. In either case, the service has been great. We've always been offered chips while waiting for the order. Their fresh sliced lemons are a nice touch to their salsa/jalapeño "bar". While it's busy on Tuesday afternoon/evening, the ambiance is still a good place to go to end the day. read more

I ordered a Mexican salad with chicken and a carne asada torta. I've attached the images, and I hope they speak for themselves. The shredded lettuce and shredded yellow cheese departure these plates from traditional ingredients. It literally looks like the salads or sandwiches you can buy at a local gas station. I was extremely disappointed, and I will never step foot in here again. read more

Tio's on Lemon has great food! Taco Tuesdays is Buy one Get one Free hard shell tacos, the best! Their nachos are loaded and the chips are freshly made. We enjoy their burritos- they are not skimpy in the filling and quite large and heavy, get them with rice and beans in the side when you order a dinner plate. Great horchata and freshly made churros too. Nice and clean with great service. read more

The food is alright but this place is way overpriced We all know how much Price and Ref Beans and rice cost and they're very expensive read more

Have been coming here since they opened years ago. Love their hard shell tacos and enchiladas. Have had them cater 2 parties as well. Always friendly service. Great chips and salsa. read more

When in town, this is always our family's go-to Mexican takeout option. They're quick with the order, but the food quality feels elevated compared to a standard food chain. Splurge for rice and beans and chips, and try all the salsas on the side. The whole family will find something they love here! Plenty of seating inside if you decide to dine in. Kind service behind the counter, too. We always return! read more

I always call in my order and the food is always ready when they say it will be ready. It is hot and fresh and tastes amazing! This location is 100% better than the one on Daycreek! read more

they are very unwelcoming they don't greet you. They look like they don't get paid to do their job. The food was horrible.

The service was prompt and friendly But the best part was when I give my burrito the first bite Hands down the best chile verde burrito ever and I have had quite a few (my husband says I'm a professional chile verde eater) The chorizo burrito was also amazing can't wait to come back and see what other surprises they have read more

Way too expensive for whatever food and small burrito, 15$!!! Service was also bad, a genuinely horrible place to eat at, maybe even worst Mexican food I've had read more

Food is too pricey for what it is. Period. Restaurant is clean inside and servers are friendly. But their prices are a little too much. $15-20 depending on what you get. read more

Not sure if they have new staff or ordering through Uber eats screws up your order. Today my order was missing items asked for and also the meat was super salty. This restaurant has become a true hit or miss which makes it one of those restaurants that you consider no longer ordering from. Train your staff to higher standards when it comes to your food. I will not order from this place anymore, I work hard to spend my money at places like this if they can't get a simple request fulfilled. read more

Food is always dry and they skimp out on the meat. Flavor is bland as well. Ambiance is nice but wouldn't recommend for their food.

Went here for taco Tuesday however only hard tacos were included in the TT deal. Soft tacos are $6.50. Tacos were okay and were evidently bogo but chips are extra. Salsa was good just not enough room for more than one person at a time. Ambiance is your typical strip mall food place. read more

This place does not disappoint with their crunchy tacos. It's our go-to. "Taco Tuesday" spot!

I don't know why the ratings for this place are so low. I went here yesterday for taco Tuesday. Ordered take out around 2pm. For being after lunch, the restaurant was pretty packed with people. There were even people outside eating in the dinning area. The place was clean inside and out. The carne asada plate was delicious. I carne asada didn't have any pieces of fat or tendons around it like most restaurants. The meat was seasoned nicely and it had sour cream and cheese inside. The rice and beans were good. Not the best I've had but definitely acceptable. The rice lacked some salt and was overly fluffy for my liking. The beans were good, but a tad dry for me. I also had their buy one get one free tacos for taco Tuesday. I had the beef and potato tacos. Both were good. I love the crunch on their tacos! And their hot sauce at the salsa bar is nice and tasty. It has a Smokey flavor to it similar to the salsa at King Taco but not as spicy. Good food and good prices! read more

Burrito portions are half the size of other places but prices are the same. Meat is still on the dryer side. You'll need quite a bit of sauce or water with it. Tacos were average. Nothing stood out. read more

I checked in recently for Breakfast and had an incredible Experience!! My Hostess and Server (I think her name was Alejandra, the beautiful Senorita with the Sensually Eye Catching Red Lipstick) was so kind and modeled the best Morning Hospitality Manners! Her Energy was peaceful, friendly, relaxed, and enthusiastically accomodating when I ordered a Bacon Omelette with Fresh Avocado Slices added ;0) I paired it with a Freshly made Horchata and a hot cup of soothing Coffee, and even though Pancakes were crossed out on the Menu I was so stoked to see BUNUELOS made here!!!! My Church Aunties make it every Christmas for our Cookie Exchange but I've never had one fresh out of the Fryer so I was so excited to have it for my Breakfast Feast ;0) While my Food was being prepared fresh, I happily helped myself at the Salsa Bar and set the mood with some of my Favorite Salsas and pickled Vegetables! My Hostess was so fun to talk to as we chatted about the Novelas we enjoyed watching and the Actors and Actresses we respected in that Profession. Another Patrona came out and greeted us in warm and caring Espanol too!!! I really love how this Cave is full of Authentically Rich Mexican Hospitality, from the delicious Recipes to the Conversation and Wordplay from the Fun Senoritas running the Front of the House Fiesta!!! Everything seriously hit the spot and I had plenty left over for another meal too. GET THE BUNUELO IF YOU HAVEN'T TASTED IT YET YOU HAVEN'T TASTED LIFE!!!!!! read more

Great as always! Fast, friendly service. We LOVE their chicken tacos as well as other meals.

It's a lovely place. Three out of five meals we ordered was cold. I sent mine back and went to the counter three times to find out how long my meal was going to take, each time I was hit with, what food? I asked for it to go because everyone in my party was done eating. It wasn't busy we were there after 4 but before 5. I won't be going back, tired of paying more for less, at least make the meal hot. read more

yum yummy. Everything is authentic and yummy have been going here for years and it doesn't disappoint

So thankful and happy with the service and the food! We ordered several trays of beef and chicken tacos, beans, and rice for my daughter 16th birthday dinner and everyone at the party was raving and asking where we got the food. The prices were great as well. I called ahead to let them know k was on the way and everything was ready to go. They were so nice. Thank you Tios for making everything easy and tasty! read more

Taco tuesday! A dozen hard shell beef tacos for half price. This is another standard restaurant that has been around for a long time and has a phenomenal following. The offerings given for hard shell tacos are chicken, potato, and real shredded beef, read that taco smells... real shredded beef not that mystery meat by product they pass off as beef. Lots of shredded iceberg lettuce and lots of shredded cheese, white and yellow. Their salsa bar has only three offerings, a hot sauce, a mild sauce and a pickled jalapeño, carrots and onion accompaniment. We did this as a take out, but after seeing the other items being served in the restaurant, I think another trip to eat in is warranted. The other restaurant offerings looked impressive and real mouth watering/salivating. read more

I'd like to start off by saying this restaurant is a very clean place to eat at. Although the customer service is terrible. They're completely rude and unwelcoming people who take your order. I definitely wouldn't recommend this service. The only reason I give them 3 stars is because The food is absolutely delicious and authentic. Also very overpriced! read more
