Tios is my favorite go to restaurant! The staff are always pleasant and the owners are amazing people! I have a few favorite dishes, one of them being Arroz Con Pollo! Oh and the fried fish tacos are definitely worth a try!! I’ve seen comments saying the prices are a tad bit high but what restaurant, gas station or supermarket have you been to lately that hasn’t been affected by inflation? Support your mom and pop businesses, we all need each other.

yasmine was the sweetest persons ever! always checked in on us and asked if we needed anything and always had a smile on her face!! will definitely be asking her to be my server every time i come in! i loved her!!! 10/10

I had yasmine for a waitress, absolutely perfect!! She was here every ten minutes to make sure we were okay! Best service in years!!

I ordered a chicken quesadilla and this is what i got. Thin slices of cheese No lettuce, no tomato, no onions literally barley any chicken and the chicken was bad. Fist time and last time, I usually dont rate or review even if bad. But this is terrible, i threw up after eating 3 slices. Dont recommend its that bad

Very disappointed in my first experience. Nobody was at the door to greet us so we just came in & sat down. Food was very dry & not like any Mexican food I’ve ever had. Good good people & the drinks were great. But food was very disappointing. Nothing how it portrays on Facebook.

skimpiest steak taco ever not skimpy on the steak just the onion and cilantro. it’s seriously just a tortilla and steak it tastes good don’t get me wrong but i mean 9$ for 2 tacos to have almost nothing on them kinda messed up but ok

Convenient location in Columbia and offered a wide array of options on the menu. Service was fantastic and quick. The Mexican Pizza was filling and delicious and big enough to last for two meals.

We were greeted by a sweet waitress named Reagan. Everything from there to the minute we walked out the door was good. Regan was informative. The time from order to getting our food was quick. And, the food was delicious. Definitely a place we'll visit on any return trips to Columbia.

This place is a gem! I thoroughly enjoyed the blackened salmon tacos that Abby, my amazing server, recommended. Abby was patient, kind and just an overall great server! I noticed another server treating a foreign student in an abrasive manner and although Abby did not know the extent of what the other server told the student, Abby stepped right in to save the day and tried to diffuse the situation. Abby did not know I was watching or listening, but I did take note of her leadership skills. Great job Abby! Great tacos, Tios!

My first time trying Tios viva Uber eats I must say the food was delicious and fresh I ordered the chimichanga with queso fries and it was soooo good will be ordering again
