Small space with big burritos Owner is super nice and the tamales were good too. It’s more of a Mexican-American place (like Beto’s in Utah iykyk)-the rice and beans were definitely on the American side. I really want to try the carne asada fries or nachos next time

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 it’s 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, it’s so addictive that we want to go every week now!

After driving past and seeing the Tio’s Tamales sign, my partner and i decided to try it for the first time recently. This was a clear case of “better late than never” as they’ve been in business for 6 years…6 years we have’t been in the know about this awesome eatery that’s small in space but BIG on portions, quality, and service.

I can’t believe I’ve been passing this place by for so long. The tiny street front doesn’t do this place justice. It is a hidden jam in a hole in the wall spot. I was impressed as soon as walked in. The dining room was clean and neat and inwas greeted warmly. Pricing is low/ average. I got a two tamale plate, heaped with beans and rice, and a coke for $13. The tamales are large. I had the pork and they were incredibly good. Plenty of meat, and the right amount of spicy to provide plenty of flavor and not too much kick. Overall, excellent. I will be back to try out the rest of the menue.

I mean I’m not sure about authentic, but being from California, and knowing the culture very well, they make a mean tamale. I would recommend probably over any other Spanish/Mexican food.
