Chef Lynden Zuniga grew up in Honduras, CA and worked in kitchens through high school to pay rent. He quickly realized making people happy through his cooking would be his lifelong passion. Shortly after marrying his wife Sally, they dreamt of their concept of Tio's and in 2018 it became a reality!

Quality matters. We're committed to serve the highest quality steak, pork, chicken, and seafood. Our proteins are always fresh- sourced locally and domestically across the United States.

You'll hear the sizzle of the grill in our open kitchen as each meal is made to order. Pairing our high-quality proteins with our delicious salsas and vegetables, rice, beans, and tortillas is a winning combination. We pride ourselves on making great tasting food made with simple ingredients.

You might be entering Tio's for the first time as a guest, but we hope you leave as a friend. We hope you enjoy your experience. Thank you for dining with us.

Cheers,
Lynden & Sally Zuniga

My two guests enjoyed their enchiladas and tacos very much. I opted for a Cuban dish I had enjoyed on a cruise. It was pretty good. It was surprising the restaurant was not at all busy.

I think they were understaffed, but we had to wait a long time for service, food, etc. Kids were tired and hungry. Normally we gave fast abs great service!

Reserved table inside - 1/2 my party arrived before me and were seated outside. They had overbooked for an “event” that evening so after a few minutes they seated 6 of us at a table for 4. While the waiter was very nice and attentive, the hostesses were not as accommodating. Once the food came the carne asada was inedible it was so raw, had to be sent back. The cheese quesadillas were not cooked all the way in the middle with the cheese not melted. Overall the food wasn’t great - highlights were the queso and salsa and chips. For what it’s worth, I rarely ever leave negative reviews but last night was such a good time, I felt compelled.
