I cannot wait to make a return visit to this absolutely fabulous restaurant in McLean. The tacos Al carbon (steak) were absolutely delicious , the best steak tacos I've ever had. Salsa and margaritas were also excellent . Don't think twice about giving this place a try. Although I live three hours away I am counting down the days until I can return. Fabulous food and service.

Honestly, this place was great. We're visiting D.C. this weekend, and were looking for a place to grab dinner around our hotel. El Tio had incredible service, our glasses and chip bowls were never empty. The food was INCREDIBLE. I cannot stop thinking about the corn tortillas. It is much, much better than what you would expect from your local tex mex restaurant. Cute interior, and even though it was incredibly busy, we were taken very well care of. Highly recommend.

My favorite casual Mexican food spot. I get the steak, chicken, shrimp fajitas and they are the best fajitas in the Mexican casual game right now. Queso is good, and great chips and salsa. Always love visiting here when I'm in town. Service is top notch and super attentive

Really great food! We were staying in a hotel nearby and liked El Tio's so much the first night that we got takeout again the next day. The first night, we got one order of veggie enchiladas and one combo: spinach enchiladas and the chile relleno. The second night, we got tortilla soup and the tamal de elote appetizer. Out of everything, the veggie enchiladas were definitely my favorite, and I also loved the beans, rice, pico, and guacamole that they were served with. The spinach enchiladas were also great, as was the tamal de elote. The tortilla soup was just alright. We ordered over the phone both nights, and both nights our order was ready in ten minutes! I definitely think this place would be my Mi Cancun if I lived close by. I hope I'm in the area again so I can try some more menu options! (Sorry for the lack of photos - I ate very quickly.)
