Riverside proud, family made
Tio's Mexican Food is a neighborhood institution on Van Buren Boulevard — built on family recipes and the belief that honest, bold cooking is always enough.
Tio's Mexican Food | Our Story
A spot the neighborhood claimed
On Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside's Orangecrest community, Tio's became the place people don't just visit — they claim as their own.
Food made the family way
Everything here starts with tradition — the kind of recipes you pass down, not look up. The walls carry old Spanish proverbs, and the kitchen carries the same spirit: straightforward, generous, made with care.
The taco that keeps people coming back
The crispy hard shell taco is the heart of the menu — a golden shell packed with seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and house-made mild salsa.
The whole menu tells the story
Hand-rolled taquitos, loaded carne asada burritos, all-day breakfast, birria, and kid's meals — every dish made fresh daily, no shortcuts.
Feeding the Inland Empire
We've been serving the Inland Empire community with love and dedication. From our signature crispy hard Shell Tacos to our loaded Carne Asada Burritos packed with grilled steak, creamy guacamole, and fresh pico de gallo, every bite is a celebration of flavor. From catering trays for thirty to a solo weekday lunch, Tio's shows up with generous portions and genuine warmth every single time. We proudly serve Riverside, Moreno Valley, Perris, Corona, and all surrounding communities.
