👍 The margarita had an "off" taste. The sopa was delicious and the presentation of the skirt steak was fun! Chips were terrible, but the green salsa was perfectly caliente. People often mention great, meat,

    Sad they didn’t have the cabrito available, but my grilled meat/veg skewer was amazing. Flour tortillas also delicious.

    Great Restaurant. Great menu choices. Also perfect for family dinner selections, menu packaged deals for to share with the family , if you wish not to do seperated individual dinners. Either way, foods are excellent, staff is personable.

    The only reason why I put 1 star is for the salad that I appreciated. But the service was really bad. I asked for a water with gaz, the guy asks me "a limonade ?". "No, agua con gaz". Then I ask for a 150 pesos range price of wine. The waiter showed me the "360 pesos" range of wine many times insisting. I ask for a red meat, he shows me all the "chicken part". And I need to say that I speak fluent spanish. Then I finished by taking is chicken that was OVERCOOKED and burnt. My boyfriend asked for red meat : they served it UNCOOKED - totally UNCOOKED like if you get it out of the fridged and put it on the plate !! You can't do that. I took a photo. I passed a horrible time and finished in a bad mood knowing I was spending my money here and hoping to have a good time.

    This Monterrey-style steakhouse had been on my list of places to try for years! Last night, a group of four of us finally made our way there for dinner. The restaurant offers several package deals, and we opted for one that included 2 appetizers, unlimited alcoholic drinks, and a choice between NY steak or Rib Eye, all priced at $700 pesos. For our appetizers, we enjoyed guacamole, cheese fondue, and sausage. I chose the rib eye, which was served with a small baked potato, grilled onions, delicious tortillas, and a small bowl of charro beans. Bring your appetite because they bring a lot of food! The restaurant itself, along with the bathrooms, was very clean with a nice ambiance, and the service was attentive. Overall, it was a good dining experience

    Worked well for our family. The place wasn't crowded at the time (they had just opened for the day). Love that they brought 3 types of salsas for the chips. But made our kids happy to have a non spicy option.

    If you come here for the packages you're in for a treat. The cuts of meat are great and the New York is well worth the 60 peso extra. If you are feeling thirsty the package with unlimited (great guacamole, cheese fondue and sausage with a great cut of meat and unlimited alcoholic drinks for 3 hours is just spectacular. For the 480 peso you will have a great and super cheap meal. Service is great as well!

    If you are hungry for a delicious meat burger, you can get it here. A superb thick beef patty surrounded by a nice bacon belt, under a warm brioche bun. Just yumm! Great service, ambiance and price. El Tio is a local gem. Definitely recommend !
