The penne was never overcooked, the chicken was properly done, and the vodka sauce was terrific. They serve garlic-parmesan knots for table bread, and a side salad with the entrees. They are maybe a bit on the pricey side compared to some local restaurants, with $22 entrees and $9 tiramisu, but everything is expensive these days, and these guys are probably one of the nicer places in town. Would recommend.

We waited at least 10 minutes before our server appeared. Fortunately we weren't in a hurry. Our drinks didn't take long but since there was hardly anyone in the place, at least two people that appeared to be managers and 4-5 servers it seemed a little long for beer. Our order came out quickly but the chicken was cold and tough. Perhaps left over from lunch rush- it was 12:45- and microwaved. Our slider burgers were NOT cooked. In addition to this our server appeared to be high as a kite or on some type of medication that I might want to know about. A typical Chili's vibe but the music was way too loud for time of day and noise in the restaurant. I am not old, would like to have a conversation, or perhaps that is why the music is loud. To get you out the door. When we left all but two servers were standing around a booth talking to a friend. Not against socializing on the job but there were people obviously waiting to order/check out. Don't waste your time or money.

I had higher hopes for this place based on reviews. However, when I arrived to make a to go order…read more There was no one around. Once someone showed up they tried to take my order and talk to the guy behind me at the same time. I asked for a taco salad sour cream on the side and sopaipillas' with the ice cream on the side as well. When I got my food. Neither one had the items on the side. There was a large section of sour cream on the salad and ice cream melting all over my sopaipillas. I told them I had asked for those items on the side and they just looked at me and said, what, do you want us to fix it? I said yes. When I got it back they had taken a spoon and just scraped the items off the side of the food. Once I started to eat my taco salad. I mixed it up and it looked and had the texture of baby food. Just not worth the money or time.

Despite some of the negative reviews I saw on here, I found Tio's to be decent--not the best place…read morein town, but it was fine. My chicken fajitas came out piping hot and the chicken was cooked properly. Strangely enough, I found it to be a bit underseasoned, when usually the opposite is true at many Mexican places. Beans and rice were good, so were the chips and tortillas. Portions were plenty big. I also really liked their salsa picosa (spicy salsa) which is available upon request--I'm guessing its a mix of smoky chipotle and chile de arbol peppers. I would definitely not have a problem coming back again, especially if I was staying at the hotels next door.

My friend and I availed ourselves of this TexMex joint that opened almost a year ago…read more Of course, we went early during the workweek, which meant Taco Tuesday! For just $1.00 each, you can choose from shredded chicken and ground beef tacos in a crunchy shell. If you want soft shells, the price goes up to $2.50 each. I devoured five chicken tacos, and quite enjoyed the flavor. Included in the price is a sprinkling of grated white cheese and lettuce. I tried their guacamole, and thought that it was quite well-prepared. Their complimentary salsa was quite thin (lacking texture) and a bit spicy. I'm glad to have tried this place, especially since it didn't require spending much money. Three and a half stars, rounded down to three stars because the service wasn't very attentive.

Even the cooks looked up, smiled, and welcomed us in, and the owner's mom, who was our waitress, was delightful. The menu has tons of great salad and wrap/sandwich options, and they're more than willing to customize your order for you. Seriously, ask! No extra charge for adding avocado, either, which is insane. Prices are reasonable and you definitely get your money's worth. Everything we had was good (potato soup, Cobb salad, chicken caesar wrap, pasta salad, club sandwich), but I think the salads are the star of the show here.
