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!

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

Was looking for dinner late at night and found this place opened after 9 pm. The food was awesome and not expensive. 3 of us had dinner and drinks for under $100.

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
