Good: Excellent - we all had seafood and the coconut shrimp and shrimp with a white sauce (very light, as it should be - not a heavy sauce) were excellent. Generous portions with nice sides for each entree. Service: Excellent - very patient with our order, offered suggestions based on our preferences. Excellent and generous Margaritas. -and I had one with a high label tequila and a side car - really a nice drink and fun experience to try Ambiance: Excellent -it's a large building with themed dining area - feels uncrowded with space due to spacing of tables. Great for groups and larger gatherings, yet small enough to find a table for two in an area that feels special. All and all an excellent choice. We are glad we chose it - because we saw other friends we weren't expecting to see too! read more

Great service. Beautiful restaurant AND tortillas that taste just like my mom makes them. A taste of home that's priced well and is guaranteed to leave you full. But honestly, the owners are absolutely lovely and that made the experience even better than it already was just based on the great food! No photos because we dove right into the dishes as soon as they landed read more

What a disappointment. Looked online at reviews and this was the highest rated place in town, so we thought we'd give it a try. The beans and rice are terrible. The rice tastes like steamed rice with no seasonings whatsoever. The beans were bland and runny. They don't even top the beans with cheese. The Chili Rojo was spicy. That's it. Spicy. The beef had no flavor other than spicy. My wife had a chicken fajita which got a thumbs down from her. read more

Service was okay but food left a lot to be desired. Not very flavorful. I ordered flautas which were rock hard. I needed a knife to cut them which I had to ask for as there was only a single fork and a paper napkin on the table. No salt, pepper or anything else either. Ordered a Pepsi which arrived in a glass with no ice. The place was attractive enough, but no greeting as we entered. Salsa was good but I probably won't be back. read more

On the first day of an approaching heat wave I rode my new KTM to Klamath Falls for lunch. This new restaurant relocated from Dorris. The empanada dish had three empanadas with lettuce, diced tomato and cheese on top. It didn't have a strong flavor; no jalapeño ingredients. The chips were good but the salsa was too watery.The staff are friendly and efficient. The matching chairs and tables look nice but aren't very practical. The chair backs are rounded--not easy to hang a coat over, and have large round bases, as do the tables. So if you move your chair close to the table, your feet are crunched between the bases of chair and table. There is amble parking. read more

El Tio Chuy - Lots of parking after 12:30 for my 890 Adventure. - Mexican Near Me - Klamath Falls, Oregon

I'm so happy we found this place in Klamath Falls. We recently moved here from DFW Texas and we haven't been able to find a Mexican restaurant that even comes close to what we could get in TX. We certainly found it here. The staff are lovely people and the atmosphere is comfortable. Think we found our "go to" spot. Highly recommend! read more

My Wife and I went once before with the in laws when the restaurant first opened and, to keep it short, we never planned on going back. Tonight she mentioned going out to eat and we wanted something "new" so we decided to give it another shot. BOY am I glad that we did! The food was INCREDIBLE! Small enough restaurant to enjoy excellent vibes paired with consistent service and hospitality. Amazing food, amazing service 10/10! read more

Ordered the carne asada with the shrimp - so much food cooked to perfection! The carne asada was a bit thicker than I'm used to, still thinner than regular steak. Not a bad thing, though. Shrimp was tender - not chewy. Fresh chips and salsa, too. The waitress was attentive without being annoying. Not crowded at lunch time so I could enjoy and relax. I'm new to the area, and this is my new favorite spot. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant, Amazing and delicious food! Charming and comfortable atmosphere, sweet and good hearted service! 5 Stars!! read more

El Tio Chuy - Mexican Near Me - Klamath Falls, Oregon

Well place looks absolutely beautiful! Our server was nice and helpful, the menu is extensive but we immediately noticed it seemed pretty expensive. We got 2 regular margaritas (@$13.50 each) and we split the steak fajitas ($24). The fajitas looked and tasted good but the "steak" was very tough and chewy. It came with 3 homemade tortillas but they were kinda small and we needed 1 more. Overall was ok but we were disappointed in the fajitas and the expense. read more

We were passing through Klamath Falls and stopped here for dinner. WOW! Food was amazing, service very friendly. Husbands had Chili Verde and I had Birria Quesadilla. Both were the best we've ever had. Highly recommend!! read more

This place is gem. It's freaking delicious!! Their menu has a good variety of traditional dishes. Portions are good sized. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food. The flavors and presentation are fantastic. Margaritas are delicious and potent. They are not serving the same dishes as everyone else in town. I had the barbacoa and that alone will make me a regular. It came with dipping broth that was so savory. Absolute perfection. My boyfriend had a Chile relleno. It was the biggest chili I have seen. Very flavorful and not greasy. The margaritas have great flavor and more of a real fruit taste. They pack a punch too. Service was very good. Prompt and attentive. The owner even came to see how we liked our meal. So if you are feeling like Mexican food and don't want the same old stuff definitely stop by this place! read more

My wife and I were traveling through Klamath Falls after visiting Crater Lake and stopped by El Tio Chuy. Food and service was outstanding and perfect and the ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. Would definitely go back again! read more

Awesome experience! The ceviche was the best I've had in a long time! I will definitely be back. This place is going to be on the top of my list for their salsa and all the food that everyone had was amazing. read more

Stopped by for lunch while here visiting family in Klamath and we cannot say enough about the food here. It is the freshest and best tasting Mexican food our family has ever had. I am originally from Southern California and we currently live in North Texas and nothing we've ever had even comes close to the flavor here. My husband travels and has tried every variation of Mexican food all over the country and you cannot find anything better than El Tio Chuy in our opinion. The owners are very kind and personable and we truly hope this place will be in Klamath Falls for years to come. read more

Absolutely delicous food with kind staff. Food is priced similar to other upscale mexican restaurants but you recieve a large portion. This is my new favorite mexican restaurant. The food is more traditional than your typical mexican-american fare and really reminded me of the food I recieved while actually in Mexico. Could not be happier! read more

Food was great and service was exceptional. I had the signature dish, El Tio Chuy and it was delicious. I ordered it with light habanero! (I will go with full strength next time!) It is great to be able to get special orders. Owner came out to ask me how I would like it. That was amazing. Probably wouldn't happen if they were swamped busy. The margarita was plenty strong! Hubby had chicken enchiladas that he said were very good. I would say top 2 Mexican restaurants in the Basin. read more

First time coming here and we will definitely return! We came in on a Friday evening and the 1st floor was packed. We went up to the 2nd floor and the waiters were very attentive. The food was delicious and we also had fresh made complementary chips and salsa.the portions were huge and ended up taking some to go. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner. My husband had the chili relleno and I had empanadas. The chili relleno was excellent, one of the best he's ever had. The only thing to make it better would be to make adding shrimp or some other meat an option. My empanadas were also really good. I could tell they were handmade since the masa was not of totally equal thickness. I love masa so I don't mind when I get one a little thicker. It could have used a little more chicken, but it did have good flavor. I tried adding the chipotle sauce to it to get a little more heat, which I like. The sauce has some heat and a lot of garlic which added to the empanadas nicely. The prices were right in line with other places in the area at $40 for our two dinners and one beer. read more

Great service, love the atmosphere, and best of all- the food! Chili is banging! Tacos! Yum read more

El Tio Chuy - Birria tacos and carnitas taco - Mexican Near Me - Klamath Falls, Oregon

The food was fantastic and the service was great too. In a town saturated with Mexican food (and pizza), this is a place above the rest.

It's nice to give positive reviews to new restaurants. Tonight we went to El Tio Chuy. Although few patrons were there when we arrived, it was pretty busy when we left. We were seated and attended by pleasant staff, and after chips and (a bit watery but still spicy) salsa, our order came rather quickly. Really good birria tacos and the best chili relleno I've had in a long time. This place is my current Mexican restaurant favorite in town, and I hope they do well while keeping high standards. Advice: hire more wait staff. Our guy had at least 14 tables going. read more

The ambiance was very nice. Everything was clean and in order. The staff and owners were very sweet and helpful. The food was fresh and flavorful and delicious . My only complaint was prices seemed a little high. read more

Tried El Tio last night for the first time with wife and grandson and his girl friend. The food,service and decore were great. Will definitely return. Loved the custom chairs (where did they get them). Very traditional food. Keep up the good work read more

Great food and service!! The food has a Guanajuato background. The El Tio Chuy with chicken was great, rice, chicken, garlic and habanero. Great spice and flavor. Another in our group had the carne asada enchiladas with rice and beans. Another had the sopes and a taco birria great flavor! Very good size portions. Based on the quality of the dishes, authentic homemade flavors really shine. We will definitely go again soon! Very clean restaurant with great ambiance! read more
