This is probably one of very few places that serve close to authentic Mexican food in Utah County! Service was prompt and friendly, clean interior, and well kept. We ordered the birria plate, with side order of carne asada tacos . Everything was fantastic and they have a salsa bar for toppings to serve yourself. Will come back to this restaurant! read more

This is a definitely yes! It's a casual, order at the counter, kind of spot. They deliver it to your table with a smile. There is seating indoors and out. Plenty of parking and easy access in a convenient location. We had the blackened fish and shrimp tacos, which were stuffed full and very tasty. Some of the best tacos I've had! The salsa bar gives you options to add even more flavor. The side of beans was also delicious. Great food, prepared fresh, delicious flavors. This is a no-brainer. Tacos tonight! read more

The El Tio combo came to play! Whoever El Tio is, he knows how to whip up some quesabirria tacos and consommé proper. $11 for an incredible amount of flavor and food! If I lived closer I'd be here for lunch often! I already can't wait to come back!! There are a bunch of other tacos you can order so there will be something for everyone but I strongly recommend El Tio Combo. There is plenty of seating inside, it seemed like a popular place, for good reason! Service was quick and simple, quick in and out. Exactly what we wanted, with flavors that exceeded expectations! Would highly recommend. read more

I heard great things about this place from my parents! My little sister and I went and it was super busy inside on Friday at lunchtime. Despite the busyness, we were well taken care of. The location was clean and bright which was nice as well. I ordered the Blackened Fish Burrito and my sister got the Birria Taco Special. She liked the consume a lot! I thought my burrito was on the wet side. We loved their picked red onion and radishes! We would definitely be back to try their other tacos. Just a note the green mild salsa is HOT! read more

Delicious! I was with a big group and someone suggested we hit here for dinner. We had chicken, al pator, shrimp, and fish with and without queso and every one was delicious! The big surprise was the chicken which was so moist and delicious, way above average chicken taco. They have lots of really good salsas, and they have a unique flare. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. read more

This place has solid tacos. They aren't the most authentic in Utah, but still good for Provo. Cost was reasonable for the amount of meat you get.

El Tio Taco is our new go-to taco dealer! The owners and employees were all so welcoming and kind. I felt like we were eating at a friend's place. Though the decor is simple, it is very clean and the warmth of the welcome and great food filled us. They have great options for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, and more. One tell for us is meat that is clean, without gristle or fat. We tried the asada, pork verde, carnitas, al pastor, birria, chicken, crispy potato, and nopales. We will have to try the rest next time. Everything was very good. So good. Enough that I am still thinking about it. I look forward to trying breakfast and more of the menu on our next visits, which will be happening soon. read more

Our neighbor couldn't stop raving about this spot, so my husband and I decided to check it out--and we're so glad we did! For our first visit, we tried a variety of tacos, including the blackened fish, al pastor, and potato. While they were all tasty, the standout favorites were definitely the Birria and the salsa verde pork--absolutely phenomenal! We're already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the taco options, and I'm especially excited to dive into the rest of the menu. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the space itself was clean with a bright, airy aesthetic. All around, a great first visit! read more

This place is killer. I've been craving birria tacos for a few weeks now so I'm super glad we found El Tio Taco! We ordered birria quesatacos, carnitas quesatacos, Jamaica, horchata, and chips/guac. Everything was EXCELLENT! The birria and carnitas were tender, juicy, and flavorful. Those were the only tacos we tried, but I imagine they're all great. The owner and employees were extremely kind. They came and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying everything, and thanked us multiple times for coming in. The restaurant was super clean. You can tell they are careful while cleaning the tables, floors, etc. All in all, we had a very positive experience and plan to come back soon. They are pretty new, so make sure to show these guys some love. You won't regret it! read more

We stopped by for dinner. I got a Burria burrito and my wife got the El Tio Bowl with carnitas. The bowl was huge and delicious. The burrito was smaller than you'd get at a lot of other Mexican places but tasty. We both thought the ingredients were really high quality. No chunks of fat on the carnitas that you often get, for example. The horchata was fabulous and clearly fresh. The service was super friendly. We were greeted when we came in and were thanked by three different people on our way out. The inside was bright and very clean. The table we had been sitting at was being cleaned before we were even in our car. We will be back to try the tacos. read more

Love the carnitas and the mushroom taco. This place is amazing the salsa bar has lots of good options and the chips are so fresh.

Opinion from my boyfriend who was born and raised in Mexico- Al pastor and birria tacos were good. He said he would come back for both of them. He did not like the chorizo BUT keep in mind he has never had chorizo in the US that he liked or that tasted like the stuff in Mexico. Refried beans were good. Rice was different but ok. Service was excellent. Overall, we will go back for sure read more

Best tacos I've ever had in Utah! Get the special! Staff is super friendly and the place is nice and clean. Definitely will be coming back soon! read more

The meat was fantastic. I got some Al pastor tacos and some Al pastor quesatacos. The one thing that could rank this place higher is a better sauce selection and probably some better portion sizes. Maybe some sort of combo plate? read more

Fantastic tacos! Definitely our new favorite taco place. We have been searching for good street tacos (and chips and salsa) since we moved here from San Diego 4 years ago. We FINALLY found it! Great variety of taco meats, delicious chips and flavorful fresh salsa. They also had a well stocked salsa bar with more options (including pickled red onions which we added to all our tacos as well as their Dueña sauce). Also very clean and nicely decorated. Can't wait to return and try more food! read more

The quality of their meat is better than most. They have a unique menu and keep it authentic. One of my favorite new spots

from Gilbert, AZ (which will either mean everything or nothing to you) and this is the best bean and cheese burrito I've ever had in UT!! chips also slayed and tacos were great, too read more

Best Mexican Food we've found in Utah valley. Always fresh, clean, friendly, and great quality. Can't stop coming back.

I usually don't write reviews but I had to for El Tio's!! This place is fantastic!! The owner, Enrique, is very friendly and welcoming, and a master in the kitchen. The flavor in the dishes here is incredible. I've had the tacos, burritos, quesabirrias, and horchata so far and none of them have disappointed! Give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

My husband and I are both Mexican so we're particularly picky about our Mexican food. I had some Al pastor, asada, and chile verde tacos. The only one I liked was the chile verde. Asada was okay but too charred for my liking. The al pastor was a bit hard and flavorless. I thought I was eating chicken. My husband had the chilaquiles with asada. He liked it but salsa was a bit chunky. The horchata tasted more like Salvadorian horchata than Mexican, the two have very different flavors. I would come again just for the chile verde but probably not anytime soon. Place is very clean and workers were nice. read more
