Stopped by here after my kids picked me up from the airport. I had read a magazine recommendation about their Nopalitos tacos, and since I had never tried this type of taco before, I decided to check them out. I ordered the street tacos with rice and beans--Barbacoa, Carne Asada, Carnitas, and Nopalito (cactus). All the tacos were generously filled with meat or cactus. I can see why a vegetarian would enjoy the Nopalito, but it wasn't for my palate. The Carnitas stood out the most--I'd order just that next time. My son had the Taquito combination and really enjoyed his meal. My daughter-in-law ordered the cheese enchilada and beef taco combination. She wasn't a fan of the enchilada sauce but thoroughly enjoyed the taco. The owners were very friendly. I would definitely recommend and return!

I have only had to go from here, but everything I have had has been amazing and it's one of my favorite places! They have the best bean and cheese burrito I have ever had. Their Albondigas is delicious (the meatballs were really pink, but I don't have Albondigas often so maybe that's typical? Either way the soup tasted really good!). My husband had the pozole which he loved and an Al pastor burrito wet which he also loved. They have the best salsa I have ever had, but be careful it says "mild" but had a really good kick to me. Their chips are also delicious. If we lived closer I would be here all the time. For now, it's a fun treat whenever my husband is in the area to pick up food. I've also had tacos and my husband has had a Chile relleno on a previous visit. I'm telling you, every single thing we have ordered here has been 10/10 on taste. Can't wait to go back again!

What a lovely restaurant. I visited this place today to satisfy my tortilla soup craving, and boy was I impressed. The portions were great. The soup had a a nice color to it. It was topped off with some sour cream and avocado. The tortilla strips were nice and crispy. The soup had chicken pieces and a variety of squash. It was delicious. They offer some chips and salsa. The green salsa was my favorite. Prices were decent and customer service was great. The restaurant was nice and tidy. Tables were clean.

Hidden gem! Yummy food with all The comforts of home. They have such a cozy and inviting place. I ordered food to go and It was so much that I had it for dinner. I ordered the taquitos with rice and beans. They gave me a warm bag of chips as well. Will definitely bring my work buddies here!

This is my favorite spot in Ontario and my wife and I have been here 5 times. The food is absolutely excellent and the service is usually good. Sometimes the owner (Marisa) can be a bit abrasive as you begin your order, but after we order, she is usually friendly and attentive. Today, I was driving Uber all day in the rain and it was still coming down heavily when I got in the restaurant. When I got inside, Marisa was helping someone else and she politely said, "I'll be right with you in a minute." When that person was done ordering, instead of saying "Hi, how are you?" since I have been there on multiple occasions, she bluntly asked, "What can I get for you?" And I told her I wanted the taco and enchilada combo. Next blunt question, "Beef or chicken?" After having a rough day, I responded somewhat strongly, "Beef!" I apologize that I couldn't have been more patient, but I also believe Marisa needs to get out of owner mode once in awhile and be a bit friendlier when taking orders especially when there's a torrential downpour outside and people aren't feeling great. I will still continue coming here. I still love this place. Next time I will be my normally patient, friendly self and let Marisa do her job even if she comes off abrasive but doesn't mean to do that.

El Tio Alex is a family owned/operated restaurant and catering business. Alex and his wife, Marisa, are the most gracious hosts, and their food is quite delicious. They have two indoor dining areas, and occasionally utilize the outside community patio area for special events. Plenty of parking available in a private lot. FOOD: We started with the Queso Fundido appetizer ($10.95 cheese only, $14.95 with chorizo), a small side of Guacamole ($5.95), both were okay. For our entrèe, we shared a Molcajete ($37.95), which included grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo sausage, and cactus, all swimming in a delicious red sauce. It was served with two plates of rice, beans, guacamole/salsa fresca, and warm corn & flour tortillas. The menu says that the molcajete is for two, however it's plenty big, and the three of us had no problem sharing, with some leftovers. This was truly a feast for the eyes, ears, and palate! I did have one minor issue with their "to go drink policy". I had ordered a fountain soda ($3.50), which comes with free refills, however when I asked for a to go cup to take about half of the soda that was already in my glass with me, I was told that they don't do that. Something to do with the people that come in from the business park. I've got to imagine that they provide cups for to go orders, so why not for dine-in customers who want to take the remaining soda with them? Other than that minor complaint, I highly recommend that you stop in and give them a try.
