Tios is the BEST Mexican restaurant in Ann Arbor!! The portions are generous, the service is always friendly, and every dish I've tried has been outstanding. You have to try to wet burrito, it's as delicious as it is gigantic. The best part about the place is they are open late (2AM) and deliver all over A2. If you're looking for tasty Mexican, although not authentic, Tios is your best bet.

Very ho hum for Mexican food. Having come from California I can only say that Tio's in no way is great Mexican food. There is little flavor, no cumin or hint of spice, none of the traditional flavors. Edible but very bland. Their redeeming value is their deep-fried cheesecake. It might not be traditional but it sure is delicious.

Simply delicious. Refried beans are a (sometimes overlooked) staple in many TexMex dishes, and Tios' beans cannot be beat. Forget the flavorless mush that passes for beans at most TexMex restaurants; Tios' beans have the perfect blend of spices and take many of Tios' dishes from great to outstanding. Their attention to detail doesn't end with beans: from their milkshakes to their incredible wet burritos, Tios is an Ann Arbor institution for a reason!

I've only done take-out and delivery from this restaurant, so can't comment on things like ambience,cleanliness, etc. As to the food, though, it's not offensive, but it's pretty indifferent, and not a whole lot better than Taco Bell; but it's WAY too expensive for what it is; my wife & I just spent $26.00 (BEFORE the tip to the delivery guy) for two a la carte entrees, that were cold when they got here and, as I mentioned, weren't appreciably better than the Taco Bell equivalents. We've decided that we're never ordering from Tios ever again.
