Stopped by today for happy hour, just so happens to be half off a margarita flight on Wednesdays... got the Elotes for 9$ on HH. Flights were great. Really surprised by the fresh watermelon flavor. The passion fruit was tart and nostalgic. Elote portion was great, food was hot, would not order on a date tho. Definitely need floss after that one !!! Overall 10/10 calm vibe, World Cup games was on. Shoutout Karl behind the bar he was awesome. read more

I've been to Tios several times before and every time the food is delicious and fresh. Parking at this location is pretty tricky since they share a lot with Tommy's Tavern. You definitely have to circle around a few times to get a spot. When we went on a Tuesday night as a group of 3, although it was busy inside, we were seated immediately. It was busy and loud inside but we still were able to talk and hear each other without yelling. Our server Michael was great and super attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. Tuesdays are half off on tacos so I decided to order 4 tacos: the chicken tinga, al pastor, chorizo and potato, and the carne asada. I wanted to get 4 different tacos that I've never tried before and this was the perfect option since it was half off. This was an amazing idea because the portion size was huge and everything was so good. I was surprised by how much I liked the chorizo and potato taco because I don't usually get chorizo but I will definitely get it again. After eating we were too full to get dessert, but I would definitely like to try a dessert next time! read more

I went here on a Saturday evening with 3 other people. We arrived around 430 pm and the place was empty. I think they fill up later in the evening. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. She came by many times to check on us. All of us ordered something different and loved everything. We ordered the beef empanadas for an appetizer. They were great!! The sauce was a surprise. It was delicious. There was a lot of meat in the empanada. The restaurant was much smaller than I thought t would be but very nice. I would definitely go here again and try other items. read more

Came here on a Friday night with no reservation and was able to snag a seat at the bar (though I recommend making a reservation as it can get packed). Assuming there's a lot of overflow from folks who tried to go to Tommy's down the street but had a long wait time. Service was friendly and prompt! We started off with margaritas which came in fun glasses and a solid bang for your buck. For apps we tried the chicken flautas and the guac (stick with regular, not worth the upcharge for truffle). I got two tacos- the cauliflower and the impossible meat and the portion size was massive! I could barely finish one. The cauliflower taco left a lot to be desired, but the impossible meat taco was suprisingly very flavorful. The chicken taco was the star of the show and I would likely get that when I go again. Fun atmosphere and decorations! read more

It's like a walk in an open museum and restaurant in one. Seeing all the amazing work of art hanging everywhere from recyclable materials makes me wonder, who is this man behind the genius? So entertaining we came back for the second time! Not to mention service was fast, food was authentic and rich in flavor and the overall ambiance was a blast! Love, love the butterfly decors hanging outside for photo ops but there's more to this place than meets the eye, literally! Come visit this place and enjoy with friends and family! read more

Always a good place to come with huge tacos. Came twice now and had blackened shrimp tacos which were very flavorful and fresh with good veggies. Nachos were big but I wish came with more greens or ingredients on top. Flautas were big, not crunchy but had melted cheese and was good. Overall, I would come back again! read more

Loved Tio!!! This was a half way meeting point to meet family before Christmas. I wish we had one near us!!! We loved it!!! The drinks were awesome! The food was awesome!! We started with the guacamole and chips. It was the best guacamole I have ever had!! I had the Blackened Shrimp Bowl. Seems simple but it was delicious!! I do not like cilantro so I substituted the cilantro crema for a different sauce. Service was good and it was pretty busy. It was a little loud for me but it was to be expected as they were busy. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Stopped by Tio Taco on a weekday around 6:30 PM, and while parking was a bit of a struggle (lots of businesses sharing the lot), the experience inside made up for it! The place has a fun, vibrant vibe with cute decor that sets the mood. We ordered a pitcher of passionfruit margarita ($38), and let me tell you--it did not skimp on the tequila. Strong, refreshing, and plenty for 3-4 people. For food, I got the classic burrito bowl with chicken, and my friend went for the chicken quesadilla. Portions? Massive. Easily two meals in one. The food was delicious, so I can't wait to try other meals. read more

To start our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The customer service was exceptional the food was not. We ordered the empanadas as a starter. You get three large well filled beef empanadas with a tasty sauce on the side or it comes drizzled on top. The ground beef had zero flavor it was straight up bland. I ordered a chorizo taco and carne asada taco. The chorizo had no flavor which is shocking and the texture was a little off. The carne asada was minimally better. My husband ordered the carne asada taco as well and a pork belly taco. He felt the steak was bland and the pork belly was one long strip of fat which I anticipated so I didn't order it. If you're looking for good Mexican food look elsewhere. read more

Just stopped in for some coffee and dessert. This place is great as usual even on a Sunday evening. The place wasn't too crowded and the service was great as usual. Stopped by with my wife to get some dessert and coffee. The chimichanga dessert is awesome with the banana cream filling, whipped cream and ice cream. read more

Always enjoy stopping in after the yearly fly fishing expo that takes place in Edison at the convention center. This has been our 3rd trip here. My wife and I were quickly seated at a nice table by the windows. We chose the queso fundito appetizer to start. It was pretty greasy even though we chose not to add the chorizo to it. We enjoyed some cocktails. We picked the coconut and Cadillac margaritas. Very good , they offer a very extensive tequila selection along with plenty of other options. For our meals my wife chose the carne asada bowl. Very tasty, big portion. I chose the mix and max tacos - chicken tinga , carne asada and the Al pastor. Very good! Very fresh ! We also tried the special dessert of the rum banana chimichangas ! A different twist on a classic Mexican dish. I recommend stopping here if you visit the area. Parking is tight , especially when it shares the same lot as another restaurant. See you again next year ! They also offer some merchandise for sale - t shirt and hoodies ! read more

Atmosphere was cool. Wait staff attentive. But the menu says all tacos come w corn tortillas. These were our tacos. The Mgr came by to ask how everything was and it was all very tasty but I brought up the fact that the menu said that everything came corn unless requested. She very quickly said... oh those are corn. I politely responded, no ma'am. These are very clearly flour tortillas. She said well the package said it's a corn masa mix. Coming from a family with a corn tortilla FACTORY.... No. Just no. They might be a corn/flour blend but manager was sure there was zero flour. Low stars for clueless staff. Overall just eh for the price. Carne asada tacos should not have lettuce on them. read more

Came for drinks and apps with a friend on a Saturday evening and it was super packed. Hour wait for a table so we sat at the bar. I wanted to try something different for a drink and the pomegranate margarita caught my eye on the menu. It did not disappoint!! I usually stay away from flavored margaritas because of the heavy syrup taste but this one used pomegranate liqueur instead of syrup and it was delicious & refreshing. Highly recommend. The elote was also really delicious. The crema and other sauce they add (not sure what it is) paired well together. Now for the nachos...they had potential..because the chicken was really tender and good. But these were the driest nachos I've ever had. I had to order a side of queso and it was still very dry. I wouldn't order this again. This was my second time here and it won't be my last. Can't wait to come back! read more

Love the outdoor seating area. It was busy for a Saturday night but the wait wasn't outrageous. We were able to kill time at the bar, enjoying their seasonal cocktails. The watermelon basil margarita was amazing! Our server was super friendly. I was surprised that chips and salsa were not included. We definitely over ordered trying various seasonal specials. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

I stopped by during the week for dinner. We started with guacamole and chips. Was not crazy about the guac, I did not care for the cheese it came with. When we ordered our server asked if we wanted salsa so we agreed. It was okay and I was unaware that they charged for salsa, had I known I would've skipped it. My friend and I ordered margaritas. The drink tasted watered down. The entree was really lacking in flavor. I ordered the Al Pastor and carne asado tacos with a side of rice and beans. The Al Pastor was super bland! The carne asada was much better and had some flavor to it. The rice was average but the beans were awful! They tasted like they were straight from a can. This meal was not cheap and it was disappointing. Don't think I'll be returning. read more

I have passed by Tio Tequila so many times, and ATLAST I was able to taste the food here.. Conveniently located right on RT 1 , next to Top Golf. There are 2 taverns next to each other - and hence parking could get crazy .. I went in, not-so-peak time, and hence there was no wait time. I liked the interiors and so many tables to sit n dine. To start with, we ordered some drinks and Guacamole/Chips. Guac was good.. Chips had lemon chilly powder, and was a bit tangy. We then had Rice bowl with beans and it was ok... Too much cheese on the sides.. we liked the bean with Rice. Veggie enchiladas was not good.. TOOOOOO CHEESY.. it was almost like a cheese pizza.... Couldn't eat more than 1/2 pieces.. Portions of food was huge, and 2 people can possibly share one dish.. Price was a little more than few other restaurants. I wish there was less cheese in all dishes.. I liked margarita restaurant better since they had less cheese. Overall an average experience. Service was good Positives - Ambience and location. Good bar. Negatives - Food was Toooo Cheesy and a little expensive. read more

Came in, really excited, left very disappointed. Honestly would never come back. The food itself was not good, we didn't get past appetizers. The queso was wet, chunky, tasteless. We asked for the enchiladas, we requested one item to be changed, and we were told very politely that they are premade and delivered. Why on earth would I come to this place knowing now that it has frozen premade food. The service deserves an award for how bad it is. The front door staff was eating chips and enjoying themselves, the bar staff was super Duper loud about their private, dirty life and a lot of the customers around. We're very confused why they had to play the role of a counselor to this bartender named Manny. He ran around the bar, saying how his life sucks and he told us it's just bad day, and he runs around every time makes a bad drink and screams in the air. We asked for the bill and he's just gossiping and talking around. Go eat anywhere but here. We left and went to Tommy's Tavern. Where the people were nice and the food was good. read more

Loved the margarita flights both on the rocks and frozen margaritas they were made to perfection not too strong and not too late. Just absolutely perfect. The empanadas and guacamole and tacos were delicious. We celebrated a birthday and the fried ice cream is a must try. The ambience is very lively and great for an intimate setting or a group. The service was five stars. read more

Stopped by Tio's before trying out the new SuperCharged location in Edison. It's a good spot if you're craving some Mexican food and you're not someone who gets offended when people consider Chipotle Mexican food. I'm a native East Coaster so almost anywhere with burritos and margaritas are a good move. The atmosphere was average. Lots of seating options and the tables were clean, but the decor wasn't anything remarkable. The service was great though. Our waitress was very attentive and the managers came out to each table to check on everyone too. I also love a place that gives you free refills for non alcoholic drinks. We tried the carne asada fries, the short rib sopes (special), and the barbacoa burrito bowl. Everything was good - not the best I've ever had but still hit the spot. The meats were tender and really flavorful. The guacamole was really good and you get a good portion of everything in the burrito bowl. The prices were also very reasonable. read more

Spent my last Friday of the year at Tio's restaurant and I'm so glad I did . The music was on point , the food was delicious and the service was great.

I will be coming back for sure. read more

It was a short long wait but we had a great time nonetheless. The drinks were good and the food was good. Once we were finally seated, our food came pretty quickly. Everything was yummy. The vibe was great! Good music and nice staff. My only complaint would be that they should take reservations. We had a large group and the wait time was 2 hours. We ordered lots of food. We ate the Wings, Chicken empanadas, beef empanadas, chicken burrito bowl, quesadilla... and more but all were really tasty. For drinks we had lots of margaritas! Most were yummy. read more

I really enjoyed the restaurant. It was delicious for the price. Service was really fast and the waitress and staff constantly checked in. There's a lot of seating and there is also a bar. The restaurant is modern and busy, and it looks like a modern street art vibe with bricks. It is cute for date night or catching up with friends. It can get kinda loud though but it depends on how busy things get. You have the option for drinks! Lots of choices read more

This a review for my visit in February 2022. At the time Yelp would not allow you to review this location due to a unfair policy imposed on the staff by Management that threatened to fire them. I was going through pics to delete when I saw these & figured I guess I would write my long overdue review. So much time has passed that I cannot recall the specifics, but what I can remember is that I was unimpressed by the bland flavor of the main dishes. The appetizers: cornbread & street corn were great, but not enough to compel me to return. To date I never went back, as I was overall not impressed enough to do so. Maybe things have gotten better, but I know of better Mexican style restaurants. Attached is also a photo of the "scandal" that was going on at the time that prevented any review for this place. read more
