Great place for drinks!! I wanted to try their deep fried cheesecake but they were out. Definitely will return.

This is the worst place I have ever been to. First of all, me and my group of state agency employees, all ordered meals. I did not get any chips and salsa. We waited 20 minutes and still none. The waitress with the glasses barely came back to the table. She kept going to help other people instead. I also got charged almost 3 dollars for two sauces to dip my quesadilla in. There was no sour cream or anything else on my quesadilla that was supposed to come with it. Please do not go here. The service is slow, they overcharge, and they only have one good waitress. A sweet girl with braids.

We didn't order any food, we just came for drinks. And we were not disappointed! The customer service was superb and the drinks we had were amazing. It was a great atmosphere everyone was nice and the waitresses were very attentive which was what I love the most. Prices of the drinks are affordable and worth every $ that was spent. They have alot of selections like margarita towers, buckets, beer, mix drinks etc . We will definitely be back and I've told some other people about how amazing Tios is!
