Tio's Tacos - Riverside

Today we went to Tio's Tacos and I love that they have a dedicated vegan menu right next to their regular menu. They offer several options but I got there vegan Tacos de Papa. They were so delicious and filling. It's always nice when an establishment has their vegan menu right out front and center so you don't have to wonder how they feel about it.

Love this place for the setting of assemblage art that just surrounds you! The delicious Mexican food is a bonus. Lots of seating and our large group was able to get their lunches and then sit together which made it so easy. We sat on the back patio but there?s lots of fun options and you just can?t stop looking around. we had lunch here and then walked to the Cheech so it was perfect.

Due traffic, we missed our breakfast reservations and made arrangements to eat somewhere else. We Googled restaurants in the area and Tio Taco had great reviews, and was within walking distance. It's a quirky, artsy place where the decor was created using discarded and unused materials. It has several dining patios and you can also eat inside. We all ordered tacos which were delicious, my fish taco was a little overcooked but was good.

There may be other Mexican nearby that has better food and etc but none will be as unique and artistically pleasant to dine at than Tio's. Depending on the foods, it ranges from good to average. We love going to Tio's for the unique whimsical environment that the owner has created. It is a very special place that needs to be protected for others to enjoy in the future. Love the staffs and the service they offered.

We were driving, and passed these huge statues of mariachis made completely out of paint cans and lids! We had to stop! We entered thru the middle section and saw all the wonderful art pieces everywhere! They have outdoor dining and that's where most of the people sat. Definitely going back soon!
