El Tio Mexicano — Restaurant in Tallahassee

Tallahassee’s Hidden Street Food Treasure

How do I count the ways I loved El Tio Taco? Let's start with this— it became my go-to spot every single day I was in Tallahassee. If you're looking for the best taco truck in North Florida, this is it. Hands down.

This road trip gem had me doubling back before I even left town. The street tacos are only $2.99 each, but don't let the price fool you-—the flavor is bold, authentic, and unforgettable. Whether you're craving carne asada, al pastor, or something veggie-forward, every bite is loaded with seasoning and heart. The juice portions are massive, refreshing, and a great value. The guys working the truck in the afternoons are friendly, welcoming, and happy to make recommendations. You can tell they care about both the food and the people who show up.

Located just a short drive from FSU and the college area, this spot is perfect for students, locals, and travelers alike. The portions are hefty, the prices are fair, and the food hits every time.

I placed an order and needed to cancel. I called the restaurant 2 minutes after placing the order and explained what happened. The worker said he would contact the manager to see if I was able to get a refund. He then told me the manager approved the refund. I waited for the refund and never got it. I contacted them again to ask and they told me to call back at 9 when the manager was there. I called back at 8:55 and no one answered. I called back the next day and was told he needed to contact the manager again for the refund. I asked why wasn’t it processed when I first called and was told they are human. I asked to speak to the manager myself and was not allowed to and was just told the manager would get back with me. I waited a week patiently for my refund and was met with nothing but rudeness and vague answers and still no refund. I will have to dispute the charge since I did not receive my money back or my food and will never deal with this...

We like to check out food trucks when we get a chance. We typically find better food, from people that tend to still care how the day to day goes. This place did Not let us down! Small menu but deliciouso. I had the Quesa-birra add side rice & bf had carne asada dinner. His words might be New spot getting my money in tally. I would say the steak texture could be a bit better, However the flavor overcame all that. Hot tortillas good original Mexican rice n beans (he stole some of my dipping sauce from the birra). My birra was so tender n juicy...I would say. Give an option to get that beef or the steak for the dinner. Simple add to the menu! No food pics. Ate too fast. But menu as of today Hoping to add them to my state office food...
