On 9/30/2025 Elna Brown had this to say:
This was my first time having lunch with my friend at El Tio Tex-Mex Grill in Gainesville, and wow—what an experience! We’ve been to plenty of Mexican places, but this one is exceptional: ✨ Cleanliness: 100% ✨ Food: 1,000% ✨ Service: 2,000% First and foremost—the salsa and chips. I can’t get over them! Every bite was heavenly, and that hint of cilantro (I think!) after each bite had me going, oh my goodness!!! I ordered the Pescado Cancun—grilled salmon topped with shrimp and scallops in the most incredible sauce. It was so good, I found myself scraping up the sauce with my leftover rice to take home so not a single drop of flavor would go to waste. 😂 The service was just as impressive. Ms. Esperanza took wonderful care of us, and on our way out, the friendliest manager, Oscar, greeted us warmly. That short conversation ended with an unexpected treat—I got to bring home their signature house margarita and (yes!) more salsa and chips. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down, one of the best Tex-Mex dining experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!

Must say the customer service at this location is phenomenal!! We did an Uber Eats (El Tio) order and the driver forgot the chips (with the queso we ordered), along with the small bags of chips and salsa that El Tio provides with their meals. The MANAGER brought them herself to our home!!! And a ENTIRE PLATTER!!! Great food. Great place. Great people!!! I appreciate good customer service and she truly went above and beyond. As most wouldn’t have done this. Thanks, El Tio!!! We will be back!

Good food. Good service. If you like spicy hot ask for the habanaro salsa. We've been many, many times and will be back again and again.

This is our go to Mexican restaurant in Gainesville. Definitely the best in town. This time around we ordered steak tacos and steak burrito and everything was excellent. Service is very quick. They promptly give you chips and salsa, and water. I wish they had arroz con pollo and the Virginia white sauce you can find at some Mexican restaurants.
