El Tio Taco Shop

I had to update my review after tonight’s meal. There was much less food on my plate and my wife’s plate tonight. There is also no longer a military discount on the street taco special. The food also looked like they just threw it onto the plate with no care at all (refer to pic). My ground beef taco had the worst ground beef I have ever had, it was dry and cold. The only good thing they still have is the salsa bar. We were very disappointed as we liked this place. We won’t be returning. My wife and I eat here semi often and we always get the street tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays when they are $1.89 each. The tacos are small but they have a nice salsa bar with chopped onions, cilantro, carrots and jalapeños, radishes, and various red and green salsas starting with the mildest salsas all the way to the left and increasing spiciness going to the right of the salsa bar. There is a military discount which is very nice. The service is usually pretty friendly and helpful. I deducted a star because this one time my wife got sick eating there and I tried the shredded chicken one time to find it was dry and tasteless but they would not replace it or refund me after only eating a single bite of it. There are also always several flies hanging around there. Also they changed the endless complimentary tortilla chips to one bowl (after one you have to pay for each extra bowl) which is understandable since people were taking advantage of the complimentary chips. Overall, I recommend this place as it is probably one of the best Mexican food places in town.

Didn't rate the atmosphere being as I used the Drive-Through. But the parking lot was clean and well maintained. Ordered 2 beef hard tacos and 2 chicken hard tacos. The quality of the food was outstanding. The cost was $3.54 each taco, a great value for the quantity and quality. I look forward to returning and trying other items on the menu. My only criticism is that I asked for guacamole on the tacos, and could barely find it once I began eating. But there was a dollop on each taco, so technically I did get guacamole as requested.

Their street tacos are the best I work swing shift and I drive for a living and I sometimes have to make a quick pit stop so I can eat can I get tired of eating McDonald's and food like that so the other night I stopped in there Tuesday and I got some street tacos they were so delicious the asada carne asada tacos are the best oh my goodness at the service was excellent I told him I was in a hurry and they had my order ready for me within 7 minutes I was so happy I got to eat my tacos and they were so delicious and they filled me up I couldn't believe that four tacos would fill me up like that but they did and they were excellent

We stopped here for a quick bite and the food was delicious. I got the Lulu Bowl and it was amazing.

This place used to be pretty good, I don’t know what happened. Couple months ago, we ate here and were very disappointed with the food. Everything was cold on the inside, like it had been microwaved. We were skeptical about trying it again, but wanted Mexican food, and something close to us. So we decided to give it a second chance. Waited for almost 30 minutes for our order, which wouldn’t be an issue considering we are expecting everything to be made fresh. But when we arrived home, we faced the same issue as last time. The inside of his burrito was cold, the cheese wasn’t even melted inside and the meat on my meal tasted as if it had been sitting in water then had seasoning thrown on top. Spent over 25 dollars on a dinner that was microwaved. Not impressed, definitely won’t be returning.
