Something got mixed up with our online order, and they were kind enough to include extra tacos and sides!! Such kind service. We'll definitely return! read more

Authentic??? I don't think so. Basic white woman, definitely. In the limited exchange with the staff, I found everyone to be friendly. From sitting down to getting our food was less than five minutes. The food was extremely fair priced. However, I cannot call it authentic. The flour tortillas were clearly purchased at the Walmart supercenter. The El Cabrón burrito I ordered was chopped up chicken breast inside a cold flour tortilla, smothered in queso. The beans were very watery and the rice was very good. Once I mix the beans and rice together, the beans seem to have a little flavor. Did I mention the burrito only had chicken inside nothing else? We also get the mango tacos, which was a mini version of the El Cabron burrito with some mango juice poured over the meat. It was fast. It was an expensive and it was filling. It did not remind me of Mexico. When we ordered the mango tacos, I expected some kind of mango chutney on the chicken, unfortunately, it was like someone opened a can of ocean spray and pour it on the meat. We will return, but it was boring. read more

Greeted politely when my husband and I came in. Took a bit for the waiter to come for our drink orders. The menu is busy!! Lots to choose from. I got pollo loco hubby got chori pollo. Let me say if you don't like spice DO NOT eat the salsa. Plus the salsa is not complimentary like most Mexican places. My food was not very well seasoned but spicy basically lacking flavor, only could feel the "heat". Hubby said his was good. The music was techno which was odd but honestly better than loud mariachi music, honestly. The staff was on their phones a lot! Which is probably why I didn't get a refill for my beverage and it took 15 minutes to get him to come and take the payment for our meal. So basically this was a meh experience at best. read more

I've had mixed experiences here. One time there was sooo many flies. They were all over our food. They had the patio doors open so that could have been the reason. You have to pay for chips and salsa. The food is okay but nothing super interesting. Overall its good but not my first pick. read more

Came here with a group and while the service was good and everyone was friendly, I thought the tacos were in a flavorful as others comparatively that I've had before. I got the Beria tacos and they seemed a little lackluster in flavor. They also fell apart very quickly. The tacos are made with corn tortillas. And while I understand that birria tacos typically come with consome, others in my group also got different tacos and they quickly fell apart too. I would come back though and try them again. read more

Tried out this brand new spot in Ofallon. Parking was kinda tight for a good sized restaurant but still easy to find and park. Service was prompt upon walking in and getting seated, very very nice staff! Menu had a lot of options, prices also reasonable. I definitely need to come back and try their margaritas. They had a whole list of specialty margs. Food was good, everything fresh and actually really tasty! I like the concept of the fajita bowls, very creative. Will definitely be back again! read more

We've been here several times and always have a great experience. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help or make substitutions. The place is clean, the bathrooms are clean, and the patio is AWESOME in the warmer months. The food is delicious AND they have lots of options. They even have a couple veggie or rice bowl creations in case you're the only one in the group not craving Mexican on that particular occasion. (Ask me how I know! Ha!) But also, the entrees are wonderful. And they have Horchata! read more

We waited over 45 minutes for food to arrive. Kids drinks come with the meal as a juice box, no where does it state it can not be a fountain drink. Then they charge you extra for the fountain drink. The child's burger you are charged $1.25 extra to add a sprinkle of cheese to, and does not come with a side. We had to pay another Then 3 of the meals cMe out while we waited another 15 minutes for the other 2 meals. Food was ok. The Margherita Rice Bowl. Came out luke warm. The refried beans had a burned taste to them. Everytime we tried to explain an issue there seemed to be a large language barrier. There was no attempt to make anything right. I will say we did come on Cinco De Mayo. We arrived before noon and the restaurant had a small crowd, but plenty of open tables. read more

Tio's is amazing. Anything with the cheese sauce is a welcome addition. Even better having a good restaurant on the east side of O'Town. We have visited Tio's several times and had 1 mess up. The manager adequately addressed our concern to our satisfaction. Great customer service. read more

Wasn't too bad. This is in walking distance of where we are temporarily staying. It's not far from SAFB. Right off Troy Scott Rd. I ordered a mango margarita ( strong )with these little soft tortillas shells and steak they put like a sweet sauce over it. It was good for what it was. Husband ordered a Modelo beer on draft. With a chimichanga. ( you can get it bottled too) Kids had smoothies, which they both enjoyed. The service was a little lacking , but our server herself was nice. They weren't even that slammed. They have a nice set up where if it's nice they open ip the garage doors but the bar. They could add some out door seating or hangout with table tops and heat lamps for when it cools down. The food itself wasn't bad. But not the greatest if that makes any sense. Chips weren't hot out the oven. You do pay extra for that. It's not included prior. This business shares a lot space with other non food related companies. They could work on some things. It could be a great hangout spot. It's also across from McKendree rec plex. read more

Tios works. But I feel like it could work better. The space is beautiful. Brand new and shiny clean. So the first impression is very positive. I ordered the chipotle burrito. But first I ordered chips and salsa for two dollars and I have to admit, that really bothers me. I can go to any of their competition and get endless chips and salsa for free. Why would I come to Tios and fork over another two dollars? I'm pretty sure the price of eating out has gone up enough over the last two years without paying for things that are usually comped. Having said that, the chipotle burrito was excellent. It came with rice, but no beans. Not a problem. I'm sure I'll be back but certainly not as often as I would like to be. The burrito was $12.99 which I felt was fair. But it became 14.99 with chips. If you're OK with that, then you can make my four star rating a five star rating. read more

I have given Tio's a chance 3 times, all 3 times horrible service! The first 2 times food was OK at best, don't like that they charge for chips and salsa. On the third and final visit, it took several minutes for a host to greet us as the employees were all just standing further back just talking and laughing while looking at us when we stood there. After finally getting seated, we sat for 15 minutes for us to just leave due to never getting a server! As we walked out, the same hostess that seated us said have a nice day, as we replied we were leaving because we got no service! No apology, or anything as we walked out! Left there to go down the street to Los Amigos, within a minute we were seated with chips and salsa and water! Will absolutely never give Tio's another chance! read more

First of all, they charge for chips and salsa (red flag) After eating the chipotle chicken burrito, which was small and not very flavorful, I got sick with food poisoning. Brutal experience read more

Best place to eat!! We eat there as often as we can because they have authentic Mexican food. The plus of eating there is you order and you have your food fresh and hot in under 10 minutes!! They are fast!!! read more

We had some time to kill between games. We were in a softball tournament nearby and had a party of 20 (kids & parents). My experience as of late, when you walk into a restaurant unannounced with a large party, you're treated like you're a hindrance more than a valued customer, but not here. The greeter went right to work organizing tables to accommodate our large party. The waiter took our orders promptly and the food was served hot and on time. I can't remember what it was called, but I had chicken over a bed of rice, smothered in a habanero pineapple sauce. It was delicious! We will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Sister and I got two meals with steak- both our meals were a few pieces of steak and you can tell they mixed pork or some other meat in. If I'm paying for steak I want steak we love this restaurant but I don't think we're going back after this read more

This was GOOD, but some issues kept it from the GREAT rating. My Tacos de Birria were DELICIOUS, but as mentioned in other reviews, not a lot of food for the money. They seem to have put a LOT of money into the decor of this place, and maybe that's why they charge more for the food, but I'd rather NOT have to pay all that much, and have the place a bit simpler. The service was attentive, but our server struggled with the English language, making questions difficult. One thing people may not like is that they don't give free chips and salsa. I LOVE that! More authentic as far as I'm concerned. And I'd rather fill up on an entree! Their system for payment automatically includes a credit card charge, and they take it off if you pay in cash, but the fact that it's on the receipt was confusing for us. I'd come again. read more

Ok the reason I posted a pic of my check: Lemonade is what she put for a milk I asked if I could get for my son instead of juice. Don't know if you have kids but we all know he didn't drink $3 worth of milk. Couldve said hey that's $3 and NOT a substitute. Nope just wrote it down. Rice and beans were what I thought I was substituting for the side for him. That's my bad but the sides are right above the kids menu and I messed up. Oh well I guess. So I am mostly irritated because last time I went there I had the same irritation. But I'll always give more than one chance. Our server asked if we wanted chips and salsa. We said sure. They charge for chips and salsa FYI!!!! I don't think I've ever been charged for chips and salsa but maybe I've just been lucky. We were in a hurry so I didn't look at the menu and just told the dude chicken and rice with the normal salad side of whatever comes with it - pico de gallo or tomato or guac and he said ok ok. I've never seen so much up charging in my life. He literally charged me for a $16 chicken meal and then tomatoes for 1.95 and pico de gallo for 1.95 and avocado for whatever the price was for every extra thing I said. I was even charged for cheese I asked to NOT be put on there. A GOOD SERVER would see what's on the menu like that and make a few adjustments so I'm not charged for every little thing. Our meal of chicken and rice with a few veggies and my son's meal ended up being $40. All this to say, the burger is fire. The food I've had was delicious. The service was good enough, just be aware of the up charges for everything. Ambiance is more sports bar than anything. Low lit, which I like. I'll prob end up back here because it's close to our home but best believe I will be sure of what I say to the server and verify we are understanding each other. Maybe I can update my review to more stars. Plus I hate posting negative reviews!!! :( read more

I couldn't wait to try this place and was a little disappointed. Not in the service because that was top notch. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food came out in like 3 minutes after ordering. I just didn't think the size justified the price. I've had my share of street tacos, but $14 for 3 miniature street tacos is a little bit too outrageous. They should be listed under the appetizer menu, that's how small they are. The rice and beans were bland as well. Tasted made from a box or can. The salsa was just your average jarred store bought sauce. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it just falls short. read more

Was excited to come here after practice with some dance friends, as I've been eyeing for quite a while. It didn't disappoint! Most of our party got margaritas, which they seemed to really enjoy. It wasn't a good idea for me to partake, so I had a lime agua fresca instead. It was huge! And very tasty. I didn't have anything else, but what I really liked about the place was its ambiance. You wouldn't be able to tell from the humble outside, but it has a nice, comfortable dining room with colorful art throughout. And, they have a trendy indoor/outdoor bar area in the back with those metal garage-like restaurant doors. I am so glad someone suggested we hop over there, and I am looking forward to coming back again for a full meal and to try one of those great-looking margaritas! read more

After moving here from California, we were searching for a Mexican food spot that could compare to the food that we love. This is the spot. The food selection is amazing. We have enjoyed a bunch of different dishes and have not been disappointed. It is so close to home! Their margarita selection is awesome. Their alcohol selection in general is great. They are always busy (which is a good thing). Lunch or dinner, the service is always good. Food comes out pretty quick regardless of how many people are there. This is a must try spot! The only thing that we mildly get annoyed with is the charging for chips and salsa. If you want extra salsa, it will cost. We don't mind paying for it and it doesn't break the bank....just not something we are used to. That is all. It does not stop us from coming in here at all! If you are in the area, stop in and order whatever. It will not disappoint. read more

Stopped by Tio's for lunch. Food was great and service was great. We had our food in minutes and our server was extremely attentive even when the inside was full. We had the cochinita and birria tacos. Both were great. Also had the mango lime juice which was refreshing. It's nice to see some unique mexican food offerings in the area. Will definitely come again to try some other options on this menu! read more

We love the margaritas at Tios! Each one we've tried has been delicious & tastes "fresh!" I'm also obsessed with their spicy tomatillo salsa. We've been able to try many items on their menu & never had something we didn't like. My personal favorite is the pollo picoso, which is the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and savory. read more

Great food, great service & one of the cleanest public restrooms that I've seen in a long time! That being said, there are a few cons as well. There's absolutely nothing on the tables, not even salt & pepper which I found odd. Also they charge for the tortilla chips & salsa. Unlike other Mexican restaurants that don't. So that's why the 4 star rating. Maybe if it changes, I can give them 5 stars ‍ read more

Went here Saturday night for dinner. Had heard it was great - well unfortunately for us it was not. I was shocked to see that we had to pay for chips and salsa. About 40 minutes after ordering our food - the waiter came back saying the kitchen is not keeping up with the orders and apologized, about 10 minutes later he comes back and asked us what we ordered so he can make sure it gets to the top of the list. (Why didn't he know what we had ordered???). After approximately 20 minutes later we received our food. For $12.00 a plate I expected more. Taco's were the size of street taco's not regular taco size we have had at other Mexican restaurants. No rice or beans for my meal (which I knew and they had some kind of corn on a stick - it was cold and disgusting). Husband did got rice - appears about 2 tablespoons in a small bowl. We had asked for the sauce not to be put on his tacos - it was on them. When we received the food from the runner we asked for a couple of limes - never received them. We did receive a few apologies from the waiter, but no compensation, no manager came over, nothing. It wasn't like they were busy when we got there - appears they are very disorganized. My taco's were tasty, but not enough to go back. Needless to say we won't be going back. read more

Awesome experience at Tio's! The drinks were amazing with very generous pours. Chips and salsa were fresh and yummy. My entree was Pollo Loco, which was a nice size and with a side of rice and beans, and covered with warm white queso cheese. Our server was fast and friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

I wanted to love this place and the people are so nice, but it wasn't for me and my friend. The chicken and pineapple fajitas were average. It was basically just chicken fajita with barely any pineapple. I thought the pineapple would be bigger, but they were tiny and not very plentiful. So the queso tasted good, but wasn't very warm and had a big unmelted chunk floating in the middle. My friend ordered tacos that weren't supposed to have cheese that they put a rectangular prism of cheese on. I love cheese, but I would need shredded cheese. The giant chunk of cheese honestly freaks me out. They also don't offer pitcher's of margaritas which is a bummer. The restaurant is nice. We sat in the bar area which has the ability to open up to the outside in warmer weather. I don't think I'll be back, but the people were so kind. I was hoping this would be a place would we regularly visit, but unfortunately it wasn't what we hoped for. read more

I loved the food the service and the atmosphere! Great margaritas and the salsa was perfect! Recommend the outside seating on a sunny day!

This place is new, open almost three months. We saw some great Facebook comments and decided to try out. Was not disappointed. My partner had mango tacos, I had the El Gordo burrito. Frozen margaritas for both of us. Secret trick-get an extra shot of patron tequila on the side and use some in the margaritas- you'll find it helps reduce or prevent hangovers . But I digress. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. HIGHLY recommend! read more

My husband and I had heard of this place and wanted to try it. We had to go to Breese one day, so on the way home, I ordered online, and within five minutes, got a text that our order was ready! We pulled in, my husband went in and picked up the food, and we were on our way home to eat. It smelled so good! We finally got home and got the food out, which looked as good as it smelled. We both ordered the steak street tacos with rice, and after the first bite, I was so happy. It comes with spicy salsa on top which I loved. The rice was even really good. I also ordered chips and salsa and they gave us a lot. The only thing we regretted was not ordering more food because we wanted more!!! Definitely recommend and will definitely go back to try something else. read more

Food is good. Drinks are top notch. Would definitely recommend to visit, especially if you like Mexican food.
