Tacos El Tio — Restaurant in Oak Park

Inconsistent in quality.

First visit: when the place first opened I decided to try it out with a friend, we order two taco dinners to go. They were ok no complaints seemed alright could have used a little more... idk salt?

Second visit: I order the caldo de pollo aka checken soup and tamales to go. They tell me they don't have tamales... How does a mexican restaurant not serve tamales? In any case moving on, I order chips and guacamole as a substitute. It takes 45 minutes and they almost accidentally give my order to someone else by mistake. I get home and find guacamole with no chips, the soup has one full carrot diced and an onion with a raw chicken leg in broth I dispose of it. At this point I'm questioning a return visit but keep the guacamole being this all cost around $40

Third visit: I order a burrito to go, it's massive I get home and begin to bite into this monster it's not bad but half way through i begin to feel sick, I look and the meat is practically raw. I run to the bathroom and you can guess what happened next. If I could give zero stars I would.

If you're low income and not concerned with quality this is your place, they will charge you double what any standard Mexican place charges and the food might be ok depending on who's working the grill.

They should put this place on kitchen nightmares, they...

I normally order my food for delivery but decided to stop by and pick it up. I got a notification saying my food was ready for pickup. A waiter approached me and he asked me what was I there for I showed him my order and said I was there to pick up. He went and checked the food on the rack and said none of them was my order. I stood to the side and the waitress working there didn’t greet me but instead told me to move and wait on the other side of the line belt. I move. Many others received their food so I asked again if the food on the rack was mine and was told no. I stated my name and my order several times at this point while also showing them in my phone. After 10 minutes the rude waitress asked again what my order was and I showed her in my phone. She went and check them handed me my food. It was there this whole time (the only packaged food). She told me he didn’t give me my food bc I didn’t show him my name, which made me livid bc I stood there this whole time telling him and showing him in my phone. This was my favorite taco place until now. I’ll find...

First time trying this place out! My order came with extra grease and seasonings, on a steak burrito smh. On top of that the meat was burnt and my fries were half done. I mean for $16 bucks this is what you give me? Then what makes things interesting is I ordered over the phone they tell me it will be ready in 10mins I get there in five they had it packaged up ready to go when I arrived. I’m the only person standing in line waiting, there are two waiter’s one is serving the dine in customers and the other is busy scrolling Facebook. It would take either one less than 15secs to ring me and send me on my way but no that didn’t happened I patiently waited almost twenty minutes before I was finally served. The place wasn’t even packed which makes it worse. I was told that the food was good by someone I know that’s the only reason I did business with them in the first place but they won’t have to worry about my money anymore I’ll take it where it’s we’ll...
