Chicken Enchiladas with red sauce
Natalie C.

So I had mixed feelings writing this review. On one hand - the poor waitress just didn't listen to a darn thing we ordered (salsa and chips became guacamole and chips. Chicken enchiladas with green sauce came with red sauce. Split the check down the middle, only one card was charged). On the other hand - EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. As someone who grew up with authentic Mexican food and has been on the search for great Mexican food in the Philadelphia area (it's limited), this was such a welcome treat! The enchiladas were full of meet and delicious. The tostadas fantastically crunchy. Great authentic Mexican food, so I will be back!

Quesabirria
Kelly N.

The best birria in the suburbs that we've tried so far! Nice portions of flavorful meat with the signature melty cheese and the rich consommé for dipping...the quesabirria has to be our favorite dish here! The regular tacos are also good. The fish tacos have a nice kick to them with the sauce. The waitress was nice and the ambiance feels like a normal Mexican restaurant. We return here again and again just for the quesabirria!

Front window and sign

It was nice evening so we sat outside on their front porch. There are two tables of 4. I ordered the wet burrito with shrimp and green sauce. Because of COVID-19 the food came out in Styrofoam containers and with plastic ware. The sodas are bottled soda. The menu is small but large enough for everyone to find good to eat. They have appetizers and desserts. They have plenty of parking in the front and the back of the building. Try it.

We stumbled on this restaurant after deciding not to wait for a nearby one and we're not disappointed. I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants across the US and this was one of the best in both taste and value. I got the Chicken Fajitas which were well seasoned beyond the norm I've experienced elsewhere. My wife got the steak tacos and liked them as well, although she felt the steak was slightly spicy for her liking. We finished with the churros which were also very good. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great meal at an affordable price!

Mixed Fajitas (put together at home)

We love getting takeout from El Tio. Ordering and paying over the phone is easy and the curbside pick up is perfect for the current circumstances. We really enjoy the mixed fajitas and you get a nice large portion of chicken, beef, shrimp, onions, and peppers. The quantity of fixings isn't nearly enough for the filling, but the meat and veggies are tasty on their own anyway. The pork al pastor is also yummy and we like their quesadillas too! I'm a self proclaimed guac snob and it is so delicious! We always order a large side of guac and put it on everything.

Wet Burrito with Molé as served
Jack M.

Top notch execution on the molé and crema. Burrito was too rice & bean forward with inadequate flavor emphasis on it's protein. I ordered the Al Pastor Burrito, wet with Molé. The Molé was incredible. So delightfully fluffy and smooth on the palate with a delicate balance of sweet and earthy. I'm no Molé connoisseur, but this version was excellent. Unfortunately the Al Pastor was completely lost in this dish. The burrito was dominated by beans and rice. I pork I could barely notice was veiled in the strength of the other ingredients. I did notice a savory and fresh cheese with a pleasant structure just below the chewy burrito tortilla.
