Tio's Tamales: Reviews & Ratings
So ono. Best burrito Ive ever had in town. The spice level was perfect for me and seemed to get better than more I ate. Mahalo 1010
Went to check out this place after I saw the khon review. Had the green Chile cheeseburger. Good size burger, smoked flavor and lots of green Chile. Delicious, good fries. This guy is from Northern New Mexico. Family run really cool owner. ...
Worth the walk from downtown! Got the vegetarian tamale plate wonderful! Was warm inside, so if you need to be cool, take it with. Ill be back! UPDATE the chile relleno plate is heavenly!
Great atmosphere. Good Vibes and delicious food!
I ordered the carne asada fries, smothered carne asada burrito, and 2 tamales. My order came out to a little over 50, so I was kinda worried about the quality... it was so worth it. ...
Chorizo breakfast burritos were amazing! The seasoning was complex with a nice little kick. Price was very friendly. A great grab before heading to the beach. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other offerings.
My go to place whenever I crave for Mexican food. Been a fan since its first opening. Their food is unique and not your typical Mexican food in Hawaii. The breakfast burrito will get you full for hours and ready to start your day. Must try the Mexican Hamburger its SO ONO!!!! The owner is friendly and cool. Support local!!
We ordered tamales for NYE, a dozen chicken and half dozen pork. We also ordered a chicken taco plate and smothered chicken burrito to go. Delicious and authentic New Mexico style food, its so addictive that we want to go every week now!
