Great value for good food. My family and I goto A Tacoria when we crave quesadillas, tacos, and…read moremenudo. The menu is expansive from regular hits like korean fusion tacos to traditional lengua, tripa, and al pastor. It is a family run small business where they treat you well and remember your kids. Always greeted with a smile and friendly service. The taco plate is our goto. You cannot go wrong with bulgogi, al pastor, or if you are adventurous the lengua and tripa are cooked perfectly. Their fresh salsa is delicious and queso are favorties as well. Give it a try at least once if you are local and you wont be mad at how crazy prices have surged.

I don't throw this around lightly, but this place gets it right. The moment you hit the salsa bar, you know. Fresh radishes, house-made salsas with real depth, hot carrots--no shortcuts, no watered-down versions. It's the kind of detail that tells you everything before you even take a bite. The food backs it up. From carne asada tacos to a proper California burrito, everything tastes like it should--simple, bold, and done with intention. It genuinely took me back home. The space itself is small, but it carries a ton of character. The service is what really sets it apart--friendly, sharp, and seamless. Watching the team move between Spanish, Korean, and English without missing a beat is impressive and says a lot about the culture behind the place. And that's what makes this spot special. It's Korean-owned, but there's a real respect for the food and the tradition behind it--and they execute it the right way. You get a mix of people in here too--regulars, first-timers, families--all there for the same reason: the food is legit. This has quickly made its way into my weekly rotation. If they had a drive-thru, I'd probably be here every day. Places like this deserve to be supported--not just because they remind you of home, but because they go out of their way to do something right. And this place absolutely does.

The portion sizes are amazing for the price. The food is flavorful. And the salsas they serve are fresh and flavorful. I probably put half a squeeze bottle in my togo container of their orange crema sauce. That stuff is amazing. The burrito was the size of my head and I could only finish half of it. My sister got a carne asada plate and it covered half the plate, came perfectly cooked and had roasted potatoes, beans and rice. I also got an al pastor quesa taco to try and it was fantastic. While there is double tortillas, they are light and airy, and then there's just this whopping layer of fried cheese that brings the hit of umami. The sides get frico'd and crispy. There's a generous portion of meat and a nice lime wedge to top it all off. The service was excellent, and the inside is vey nice. I would say it gave a little more upscale vibe but the food is down to earth. This is food that is meant to fill you up. I will be going back to try other items on the menu.

EL TIO remains one of my favorite places for simple, yet delicious Mexican tacos, pork tamales and absolutely my favorite place for Beef Milanesa. Some days I get it with a scrambled egg because it makes for such a great breakfast. Other days I make tacos out of it with all the ingredients included with the plate. The staff is small and they can be very busy during typical lunch hours, so keep that in mind if you are crunched for time. FINAL THOUGHTS A surprisingly delicious Mexican restaurant tucked away inside of a Chevron gas station that is serving up some of the best tacos, tamales and Milanesa around! ENJOY 2022 / 81 #update

The tortillas are also the best and it's hard to beat the chips and any dip because they turn those amazing tortillas into chips. I also love the spicy rojo salsa. It zings in the right way. Only negative is the price has gone up with the amounts going down. I mean where hasn't it, but it's still noticeable. Best bang for the $ is for sure the "baby" burrito. Also the people behind the counter are always as nice as can be.
