I eat here frequently. Usually brunch but on occasion dinner. I love their coconut margarita and pork chops. On my last visit with my cousin we had brunch. The sign outside said sangria & mimosas which normally come in pitchers for 18.00. When went they said bottomless for 25.00 each person for 1.5 hrs. Ok they switched the brunch drinks cool. Our server took the order and never checked on us, the bartender was the one refilling our drinks from the bar. He saw an empty glass and came to refill it. If we looked like we were looking for the waitress he came and asked if we needed anything. When the bill came We paid splitting down the middle and wrote in a tip. While we were getting our Things to leave the unattractive waitress came and said we didn't leave enough tip. The nerve. She wanted the suggested 18.59. And said we never give her a big tip or the other guy. (Now you will never get one. You don't even wait on us you take the order bring the food and return with the bill sometimes an hour after we finish) She also had the nerve to say next time we come sheis going to add the gratuity to the bill. I said if you are adding it to everyone's bill fine make it policy but you will not just add it to our bill and single us out. The manager/owner is sitting at the bar not saying a thing. I think it was very tacky of her to approach us about her tip. She got 10.00 for doing nothing. She even pointed out the total we spent as if that should grant a higher tip. We had drinks and a brunch meal. I would probably never go again but my daughter likes their sweet potato fries. I'm just going to have to find her another spot that has those. Or I might just go again to see the...
Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at Tios Bistro and I must say, it was a delightful experience. My visit was completely improvised, but it turned out to be a wonderful evening of good food and great ambiance.
To start, we decided to share the calamari as an appetizer. The calamari was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The accompanying dipping sauce added a burst of flavor and complemented the dish perfectly.
For the main course, we opted for a burger and beef fajitas. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The toppings and condiments were fresh and added to the overall satisfaction of the dish. The beef fajitas were equally tasteful, with tender strips of beef, sautéed vegetables, and a delicious blend of spices.
One of the highlights of our evening was the wine tasting event happening at Tios Bistro. The staff kindly offered us the opportunity to participate, and we gladly accepted. The wine selection showcased a variety of Spanish wines from the region of La Mancha. Each wine had its own unique character and taste, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the different flavors and aromas. The wine tasting added an extra layer of sophistication to our dining experience.
The overall ambiance of Tios Bistro was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had a memorable dining experience. The decor was tastefully done, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
