Our experience was amazing! Valentines night was very busy but they did everything they could to get us seated. The food came out hot and fast while our drinks tasted amazing! I don’t remeber our servers name but she was amazing! We sat right by the host stand in a four person table, she was so sweet! We will 100% be back! More

This Mexican restaurant hits all the notes with great food and great service. I had the street corn and the Beria tacos. Service by Francisco was top notch. The staff welcomed me in quickly and served me pretty fast. Definitely recommend this place for some good authentic Mexican food

Always good food. Plenty of cocktails Mexican cocktails to choose from.
I've been going to Taco El Tio in Egg Harbor for 5 years now and everything is always good. My favorite dish is the chicken steak and shrimp fajitas always full of flavor everything from the meat to onions and peppers are so tender it comes out sizzling hot! Yummy! The burritos are also very big. If your looking for a good Mexican restaurant try Tacos El Tio you will not be disappointed and make sure you try one of their many margaritas

What's better on a Friday night than Taco's and Margaritas? Everything from the food, service, and atmosphere was great. There was so much energy, and the decor reminded me of a cantina in Cozumel. We even found out the husband of our waitress and my son both worked on medical helicopters. She saw a picture of my son that pilots them. What a perfect night out with my kids.

The food was good, the portions large, and the service was spectacular. My only complaint was the noise level, but given the large, open space and high ceilings, I don't imagine there's anything that can change that . More

Was only in for a minute to pick up my order but looked super cute inside. Packed on a Friday eve so that's a good sign. I Definitely will be back to enjoy a cocktail and more great food. From Texas, so finding good tacos and burritos here I've been super picky. My chicken burrito was fully loaded and very flavorful. I'd say the price was good but ordering on line i wish there was an option to add items. Shredded Lettuce would have added the crunch I like :) All around a good meal.

Food was delicious except for the queso, it’s nacho cheese & definitely not authentic. It was crowded Friday night and the waitress wasn’t as attentive, she didn’t realize when we were out of drinks. Highly recommend the shrimp quesadillas … More

Tacos El Tio is hands down the top spot for authentic Mexican cuisine! Their chicken fajitas are my go-to — incredibly flavorful and unmatched in taste. The food is always fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. If you haven’t been yet, it’s a must-try!

I literally ate here 2 weeks in a row… no that’s not an exaggeration!
Phenomenal & consistent food had me back every night! & Even better than the food, the bartenders. Mike, Amanda and the other 5-6 people I ran into during that span were all awesome! I eat late, so I understand it’s not ideal, showing up 35min to a hour before close, but I never felt like they were bothered! Always felt very welcomed, accompanied by hot food and great drinks!
Can’t wait until my next trip, I wouldn’t consider another dinner place in the area!

I'm from CA and when I visited my mom, always order food from Tacos El Tio. From the moment I called to place my order, I could feel the kindness and genuine interest of the young woman who helped me with takeout. When I arrived, her service was even better — friendly, attentive, and truly professional. She told me to remember her last name by thinking of Santa Claus’s laugh — “Ho Ho Ho” — and I definitely won’t forget it!
The food, as always, was delicious and authentic. For me, customer service is just as important as the quality of the food, and Tacos El Tío excels at both. Highly recommended!

The service was excellent, the atmosphere was terrific, and the food tasted good, but be careful with the chimichangas. The first time I had a bad experience and could not hold it in. Not sure if I got food poisoning or if it was just something in the sauce, but I tried again today. I’ll update you on how this experience goes. More

This was our second visit here and I can say it was better than the first time. I had an absolute delicious red snapper that our waiter Hassan recommended. My wife was jealous on how good it was. Even though her shrimp tacos we also good. I wish this restaurant was closer to my home. Mojito's we had were perfect. Waiter was great. Thank you for a great experience!
