  One of those crazy places you have to visit. The good news is the food lives up to the hype. This place is busy and you wait in line to order but the staff is as skilled as they are friendly so the line moves pretty quick and most people are having a good time watching the action.

  Before this was Tio's Tacos I met my former wife in the building upstairs in 1983. I moved away to Austin Texas and came back to find Tio's Tacos. -- The owner is very nice. The place is amazing and just as I loved it. The food is top quality . The bottle buildings are just as I wanted in my yard. Much as I had in Austin.

  The food is good and the service is fast, and of course the weird art is a good attraction. However, the outside area was absolutely invested with flies and birds the last time I went. We had to spend more time shooing them away than enjoying our food and drinks.
