It wasn’t great. They serve cold chips, which I don’t really understand. It was almost like they went to the store, bought a bag of Tostitos chips, and dumped them into a bowl. The fries were not very good either, and the taco was alright, yet below average. The margarita was pretty good, and the waiter was a cool guy. Probably won’t go again though.

It’s great that they offer tofu, vegetarian refried beans and vegan cheese, but the food is so bland and dry that it just didn’t please me at all. My wife got nachos and they were really sorry looking. My veggie burrito was just ok, too much rice and not enough beans or veggies. Ehhh!

Hello me and a coworker went here for lunch. We only had an hour for lunch. It’s a really short walk to the place. I had never been there before, I received a gift card for my birthday and decided to try it out. We walked in and they immediately told us we can sit anywhere we would like, so we picked a booth near the window. The waitress came to us immediately, it was not crowded. She was nice and personable and made a joke with us, so I assumed this was going to be a great experience. I think it shifted when I ask to see the lunch specials. We are sitting in the booth, she gave us waters, no straws and offered and received Chips and Salsa. Before she could ask us another question about ordering then the group of 15 guest came in. The gentlemen immediately said while standing at the door, we need to get in and out we do not have a lot of time. But it’s lunch time, most people only get 1 hour for lunch. So our waitress stopped talking to us and immediately began to assist the other waitress with the large group that just arrived. Both waitress took the waters and drink orders. While our waitress was taking over their drinks, she stopped by our table gave us our straws and told us she would be back to take our order. Mind you we arrived around 12:05 it was now 12:15 and we only had water and chips and salsa, and we now have about 45 minutes left for lunch. It is still lingering in the air, “I will be back to take your order”….She began to take the orders of the 15 guest instead. Well, our time was limited as well and now its about 12:20, so we left. What do you think? Did we overreact and should have waited patiently to be served?

Loved it. The price is great and the food is amazing! Def will come back. The waitress was super kind, she always tried to help. The food itself is always a big portion and comes with nacho which I loved it. I have to começar back to try other meals. Looking forward to it.

We didn’t order any food, we just came for drinks. And we were not disappointed! The customer service was superb and the drinks we had were amazing. It was a great atmosphere everyone was nice and the waitresses were very attentive which was what I love the most. Prices of the drinks are affordable and worth every $ that was spent. They have alot of selections like margarita towers, buckets, beer, mix drinks etc . We will definitely be back and I’ve told some other people about how amazing Tios is!

This is the worst place I have ever been to. First of all, me and my group of state agency employees, all ordered meals. I did not get any chips and salsa. We waited 20 minutes and still none. The waitress with the glasses barely came back to the table. She kept going to help other people instead. I also got charged almost 3 dollars for two sauces to dip my quesadilla in. There was no sour cream or anything else on my quesadilla that was supposed to come with it. Please do not go here. The service is slow, they overcharge, and they only have one good waitress. A sweet girl with braids.
