Basically, all you can eat chips and salsa with other free add ons such as lemon, cabbage. Service was simple and easy (order at the counter and food gets delivered at your table). Place is very small so not recommended for a large party (9 people or more) due to limited tables/chairs, and space inside. They do have a small outside area that you can eat, but, it's also small! What I didn't like- Got carnitas, instead! There is really no service besides you ordering, so everything else is up to you to get. Limited space inside so if you don't mind eating with a stranger, it's a good fit.

Looking forward to coming back. Restaurant was kept very clean and tidy

I have probably been coming to this location for over 10 years. The food has never changed. The tea is quite amazing.

Food is tasty, not too spicy, but has flavor. The ladies who work here are always so very nice! The service is usually very fast, yet relaxed. Prices are good and I just love this little Converse staple!

She then said they have no picadillo. Weird because the taco salad had a picadillo option. I guess she couldn't just do picadillo with some rice and beans à la carte. Rice was bland, beans were mid. My taco salad inedible. The salad was mostly lettuce. The steak fajitas kinda chewy and not very flavorful. The carne guisada looked ok. The only thing that was decent was probably the chips and salsa. If you prefer a blander taste (everybody is different) then this is the place for you. Lots of older folks were there so obviously it would be ideal in that case.

This all changed when I made the journey to Rios Barbacoa #19 location. As a former frequent customer of the Rios Barbacoa location off​ Huebner Rd, finding high-quality barbacoa has been a challenge. Upon driving to this new location, their sign and menu have a more modern feel, but don't let this fool you: new look, but same great taste. Also, do not let their limited establishment hours deter you from experiencing this delicious barbacoa. Walking into the establishment, you are greeted instantly with smiling faces from the staff and the savory aroma of fresh barbacoa. I proceeded to order my usual; Special #1. With the new sign and new location, I had some questions while drivi​ng home. Was their barbacoa the same quality as their other locations? Did it have that rich taste, without the mushy and greasy texture like other establishments that sell barbacoa? When I took that first bite into my tacos, my taste buds were ecstatic to know that the answer to all those questions was a 100% yes. Being one of their newest locations, I highly recommend Rios Barbacoa for quality barbacoa and friendly staff. Do not let the location or small establishment fool you; this barbacoa does not and will not disappoint.

The food and service are amazing. Best tasting Barbacoa I've had in awhile. Love it!!read more

I am so glad Tia's taco hut opened up close to me! They have the best deal running on the summer…read morespecial, you get a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and a beef taco for $5.99! They do bring you complementary chips and salsa, but they only filled a tiny little cup of salsa halfway so it's almost like a sample of salsa compared to the amount of chips they give you. We ended up ordering more chips and salsa, which is only $1.99 so that wasn't bad at all, but if the little cup would've actually been filled up, I probably would not have needed to order more. The enchilada was superb, and their rice is really good. I love how they always have different specials on the menu. I've been to some of the other locations and they have much better service, the one in Stone Oak is a bit subpar, but not horrible. And I love the very rust Spanish decor all over the restaurant. They do have a drive-through, but I prefer to call my order in because it does take really long in the drive-through. Great addition to this area!

She was also pretty timely taking our order and getting us chips and salsa. The chips were good and the red salsa was really good. After we ordered we began thinking we made a mistake coming because we waited 30 minutes for our food and the place was about 1/3 filled. Then we noticed that it looked like they only had our server - taking orders, busing tables, bringing food out - not sure if they were short handed for some reason, but she was working her tail off! My wife had the Jalisco Burrito which had carne guisada in it. I had some and it was very good. The refried beans were also very good because they had real flavor! The rice was also flavorful, which is refreshing because many places serve bland rice. I had the fajita chicken taco salad. It was very good. It had refried beans; fajita chicken and onions/peppers; lettuce; tomatoes; and guacamole (I opted out of the sour cream). It was very flavorful and the taco shell was prepared well. Our server brought us green sauce which was also very good! We'll come back and hopefully the service issue will be fixed. But for that, it would have been a 5-star.
