2025 Update: Service (5): Absolutely lovely. The person womanning the register, dining room and phone lines was killing it and so charming + friendly all around despite wearing her many hats. We had a takeout order that was timed exactly as she said it would be. Takeout Packaging (1): This is the type of takeout packaging that makes me self flagellate and resolve never to do this again.... Most items came in polystyrene -- e.g. non recyclable, non compostable styrofoam. And each of the sopes we received in our order (three per order) came packaged separately in small containers, which was wildly inefficient. (Why not have all three sopes in an order come in a single container at least?) Some of the order was packaged in aluminum and clear plastic containers, which usually recycle if clean. Food (3): Let's start with the good: The kitchen still uses beautiful, ripe avocados. And stewed animal proteins were commendably slow cooked and tender. But the "sopes" were made with very thick cut, flat, hard, dry, packaged tortillas, not the boat-like kind with a ridge, shaped by hand from masa, freshly fried. We are spoiled by our access to the latter, so Tio's current version was quite disappointing. In years past, I remember the sopes being made from masa harina and griddled at least, if not deep fried, not just reheated from a package. Sauces used for enchiladas and other dishes were quite clearly straight from a can or a jar. Food was serviceable for our hurried meal, but not something we feel like we need to do again, especially given how far Latin and South American cuisines have come in these parts over the last 10+ years. There are inflationary pressures everywhere, and Tio's portion sizes remain enormous, so it makes sense that quality would have to concede some ground. It has clearly done so since our last try. If something has to give, my personal druthers would be for portion sizes to be smaller and/or prices to reflect inflation, rather than experience this kind of reduction in quality. This kitchen has the ability to do so much better. read more

Love this place! The chips and salsa are great along with the fajitas, tostadas and steak tacos. You can't go wrong - everything is fresh!!

We live in San Diego where the Mexican food is generally excellent. When we visit Watchtower Ed Center in Patterson NY, we have been very happy to "find" Tios. The Mexican food is authentic and excellent, the prices very fair and the service great. we try to go each time we're in town. read more

Love this place. Great dinner w my little guy here tonight. Service is quick and attentive, atmosphere is casual and relaxed. Food is delicious. If you're in the area definitely check this place out! read more

Shockingly subpar. Drinks and food were not good. Tacos were tasteless, rice and beans were dry and old. :( I also don't think they serve alcohol, but never mentioned that to us when we ordered margaritas. $10 for a tequila-less margarita read more

Terrible food, the meat looked like a processed Steak-ummm. I didn't taste anything authentic about the food. Seriously in need of a revamp of the food and decor. read more

I love tios so much. The service is incredibly friendly and the food is just on another leve. I will definitely be coming again. I specifically love the salsa. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Tio's on Wednesday September 27th for dinner. This was our first time. Our waiter appeared to be the only front of house staff working on this night and he was wonderful. We were the only two eating in. We had some delicious margaritas, the best guacamole we have ever had and 2 awesome meals. My girlfriend had the tacos and I had the Huaraches. Total including drinks/guac was $55 before tip, so $25 per person date night is very reasonable in 2023! Will go again soon. read more

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. Fresh, homemade and authentic. Going to Tios felt just like going to my "aunt and uncles" place. Right when you walk in, you immediately feel at home. The feels, the vibes, bring you right in. Its not a huge restaurant nor is it your typical food chain so don't expect that. It's a family owned business with close friends that work here. They truly take care of you and are extremely sweet and attentive. Expect to be greeted with a smile and chips with salsa. Can't say no to that! Going for the first time I was just expecting the typical "Mexican" food that I'm used to: melted cheddar cheese, lots of sour cream, the usual. I was completely wrong. Upon ordering different things on the menu I particularly fell in love with the Huarache. Not only was it vegetarian friendly it was amazing. Made with a fresh handmade tortilla, fresh ingredients, crispy vegetables, crumbled white cheese and delicious aaahhhh-vocado. This dish was outstanding. Some of the dishes are big enough to share. I would recommend splitting a guacamole with chips and sharing a plate. You will be satisfied with all the flavors that explode in your mouth and the refreshing fresh ingredients will leave you wanting more. Bottom line, go for the margaritas, don't skip guac, come hungry but make sure to split your food. You will love it. Just be patient, don't come rushed and be nice to them. They're great people! read more

this place needs a serious renovation. It is old and rundown.. the food was terrible. The red wine came extremely cold and it was brown and the white wine came extremely hot so that they brought ice and all the ice immediately melted in the hot wine. We will not be back. read more

Yes, yes, yes. We order from here once and awhile and tonight we had a complicated order and they went above and beyond... they don't offer sides online order but they sent black beans and rice - and we aren't all vegan here but one of us is, it was like they read my mind. The food is 100% delicious and tastes like authentic (Oaxaca?) Mexican. They subbed everything we asked and I thought thatd be a stretch bc we were high maintenance w this order. read more

Tios Restaurant And Cantina - Enchiladas Suizas w chicken, enchiladas suizas veggies, vegan style - lots of black beans, taco salad A+ & rice & beans they sent - Mexican Near Me - Patterson, New York

Authentic Mexican cuisine in a family owned family style restaurant. They enforce all cdc protocols and the place is spotless! The food is amazing and my huaraches were delicious. You can't beat homemade tortillas! Suzy was our waitress and she made us fed right at home. My wife had a burrito that was great and big enough for me to help her finish. Menu has many options and as I'm vegan they were able to accommodate. Music is played in the background and makes you feel like dancing. read more

We have tried Tios a few times, we really wanted to support local small business. Today we ordered tacos for a take out, and they were so bland. They had no flavor, very dry meat with onions and cilantro on top. Rice and beans were dry too. Salsa that came with them was unnaturally bright red and green colors, and tasted very spicy. We won't be back, unfortunately. read more

Great place with authentic food. Highly recommend the burrito. Good cocktails and friendly service.

Driving around while our son was sleeping and spotted this gem! We eat outside on the patio which was great even in 87 degree weather. The food was delish! We got the fajitas and Ter de Mar both were amazing and huge amount to bring home. Def would recommend! read more

I've driven past Tios restaurant several times and wondered how it was. Well, I'm sorry I waited so long to stop in. It's a diamond in the rough! When we arrived, it seemed as if there was a dinner rush and it was nearing the end. Several tables had not been clean, but we found one and were told to sit where we wanted. When our waitress came over she was super sweet and polite! She asked if we needed menus or were ok with the QR code and asked if we wanted to start with drinks! Wow! The Margaritas were amazing! We ordered Quesadillas and Chicken Enchiladas to share! Amazingly tasty and they looked great! Portion sizes were huge! Strongly recommend giving Tios a try! We will definitely be back. If I had one critique, I would say to get that young lady some help, but she really did a great job! Every guest seemed to leave super happy, I know we did! read more

Called ahead letting the Owner know we would be 8 Locals celebrating 2 birthdays and asked for a table in the bar area not knowing the bar was not in service and we had to stare at the back of furniture all night AND the heat wasn't turned on and their thermostat said 55 degrees. What's worse the one waiter/bartender there to take care of us, the bar and their dinning room never asked if everything was ok while we sat there like idiots with literally our winter Parker's on. Did he really not notice all 8 of us were freezing? So no frozen margaritas. Drinks were hard to get. Waiter was more concerned with his order pad then guests. Guac was great, chips and salsa good too, but they added some neon food cool that looked like Christmas exploded on your plate and all I could think of is why taint good food with artificial food coloring? Needless to say we work a stone's throw and this great opportunity for business was completely blown. John thanks for a crappy birthday! read more

The best, most authentic mexican food that we've had on the East Coast. Our first visit here, we just drove by and decided to stop for lunch. We happen to be in the area for the day. We ordered carnitas tacos, grilled salmon tacos, and margaritas! The food was very fresh! Large portions! The salmon tacos with the chipotle sauce were so delicious! The margaritas were large, and so good! I can't say enough about the food! The restaurant itself has a humble and clean decor! Definitely stop there if you are in the area! read more

When I first entered, I was a little thrown by the fact we were greeted with a dark room full of children staring at us, like we were interrupting the show on their iPad. Thankfully, this was just the party room, and after making a quick right turn and walking down a short hallway, we came to the main dining room, which was very bright, and nicely decorated. The waitstaff was incredibly nice, and we were offered free chips and salsa, which was very good and very different than the "usual" free salsa that most places have. You know the kind I'm talking about. The food itself was more on the authentic side than a lot of the places I've visited, which was a very welcome change. The sauces were very tasty and meats were cooked very well. However I found everything to be so so rich. Incredibly rich, perhaps even more so than Jeff Bezos. I could only make it through 2/3 of the tostadas on my dish because of how rich they were. Even though the small side of guac I got was creamy and very indulgent, it was still very good. Overall a really good Mexican restaurant, definitely the best in the area. read more

Delicious and authentic food!! You can't beat going to a family owned restaurant. Always friendly and attentive service. They treat you like friends and are so happy to have you in their restaurant. Chips and salsa always fresh and yummy. Great guacamole. Tacos are great. My favorite is the chorizo torta. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Nice sized portions. Prices are very reasonable and they have good deals on certain days of the week. read more

Stopped here last eve for some nachos. They've got the best nachos in NYS & believe me, everywhere I stop , if there's nachos on the menu, I order them. We actually called ahead & places our order & by the time we arrived the waitress was bring them out to the table. We decided to eat out in the patio & that wasn't a problem for the waitress to shift everything around. Kudos to them and making everything work with Covid lurking around. read more

First off, the salsa seemed to be jarred tomato sauce. No so good. The food was not authentic. Guacamole was not good. Service was very good. I should have went down the road to Fiesta but wanted to try something new read more

This is a great little place doesn't look like much on the road but super awesome reasonably priced dishes. My favorite is the tostadas. The one chef cooked at another highly rated restaurant in Pawling. If your hungry for good Mexican at a reasonable price this is a great little place. read more

Very authentic Mexican food. The owners recreate the food from their childhood and present the smells and flavor of Mexico. We tried several things off the menu and everything was great. Good size portions and friendly and hospitable service. read more

I've been there for lunch in a number of occasions & have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh & made to order. It's not your run if the mill Mexican food that we've become accustomed to, this is authentic! Always a treat for your eyes as well as your pallet. Their American menu is just as delicious with the best Cobb Salad hands down in the area. Service is always welcoming & accommodating to special requests. If you can manage room at the end of the meal, I highly suggest you try their Flan or my favorite, Strawberry Tres Leche cake. read more

Tios Restaurant And Cantina - Shrimp Tostadas - Mexican Near Me - Patterson, New York

Great environment. Excellent service. I ordered red chicken enchiladas. They had a spice to them. Not mild and not spicy. Just right. Not only were they some of the best enchiladas I've had. The presentation was incredible. The side of rice & beans was lean and delicious. Our waitress was incredible. Ask for Raven. Tell her I sent you. You'll get the best seat in the house. . To top it off the chef came out when we asked to tell him hi personally. He happens to also be the owner. What's the take away from this review??? Go visit your Tio. .........While you're there. Head down the road and take a tour of watchtower Patterson read more

Best Mexican Food in the area. Was reading some of the other reviews and I don't understand why they rated the way they did. The staff is amazing. The food is amazing. About everything you get can be shared with another person. These are HONEST people. There are some new comers to the staff because of the season but it's still great! They also have opened their bar and make amazing Margaritas!!!! read more

Came here with the boyfriend just for the flan. 5 bucks a slice. Really good. They have tasty warm tortilla chips and salad for free in the beginning as well. read more

What a nice little restaurant! We thought Tio's had very tasty, homemade food and although the margarita wasn't made with fresh lime juice, it was still a good size and pretty good. I had beef tongue sopes which were delicious. My husband(a die hard burger guy) had the Mexican burger and fries which he described as a good homemade patty with yummy melted cheese. Our friend had the chicken tacos and he loved them. The atmosphere was pretty plain but didn't detract from our experience. Overall, since the food tasted homemade and the staff was friendly, we'll be happy to come here again. read more

Love Tios!! The nachos are absolutely delicious and to die for!! The staff is always friendly and attentive to guests. Would highly recommend if you are looking for some great Mexican style food! read more

Bless their hearts for trying. Waitstaff was sweet and friendly...what?? the waitstaff was sweet and friendly.... what, I cant hear you.... THE WAIT STAFF WAS SWEET AND FRIENDLY... the acoustics in the place suck. OK to review the place It was very loud even though it wasn't crowded. There wasn't much to absorb the sound. Some decor, but not what I was expecting as a previous reviewer commented on the decor, so I guess I expected a little more. Was nervous because I read the complaints on the salsa... the salsa I didn't believe to be jarred... and it was fresh. HOWEVER wasn't the chopped up tomatoes/onions etc people believe fresh salsa to look like..... this was more blended. Food was (I hate giving a bad review) less than mediocre. Don't come here for the food...or conversation .......come for the drinks. OHHHHHHH wait no. they don't have a liquor license -- so there are no drinks. Ummmmmm again the waitstaff was sweet and friendly. read more

We loved this Mexican restaurant and will come back. My husband had sopes topped w lettuce crema mexicana, cotija queso, y salsa. Yummm 10.95 for 3 sopes. I had tacos de bisteak con cilantro, cebolla y limón. Next time we'll take pics! Prices are reasonable for the amount of food given. I liked the decor. It reminds me of home....Texas. read more

Not sure what some reviewers were talking about. I thought the food was excellent, authenic and fresh. Plus, they have fantastic prices. The service is super friendly and thoughtful if a little slow. I let this slide since this place is pretty new and they seemed short staffed. Hubs and I went on a Tues night and the dining room was over half full. Good sign. I got tacos as an attempt at an accurate baseline. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered lengua (beef tongue) as a meat option. It comes with 3, I got lengua, chicken and al pastor. The al pastor could be the best I've ever had. The portions are generous especially for the price. Three tacos (of which, I could only eat two) plus beans and rice for only $10! Hubbie got enchiladas poblanas with a mole sauce. Also a huge portion for around $13. He was also pleased to see an authentic mole sauce. Overall, we'll definitely be back. There's a few menu options that look interesting that you couldn't find at your typical gringo-style Mexican joint. read more

This place is a little gem up here. LOVE their beef tongue tacos! The salsas are great too! When my husband and I crave tacos, this is the place to go. read more

Decor a bit outdated and restaurant is small but the food and service more than makes up for it. Monday's are $2.50 tacos and $7.50 margaritas. Tacos are really good and fresh, meats have great flavor and tacos are a nice size!! Margaritas are really good, they also have a good selection of beer. Guacamole not made right in front of you but was actually pretty good. We enjoyed the salsa that came with the chips as you waited on your meals. Menu prices are very reasonable. I would be happy to visit again. read more
