“ Although I lived in the area years ago, this is not necessarily a section of town I'm in that often anymore which is a bit of a shame as it has some character (and characters). And good food, please, don't forget about the good food. I had stopped at Food City for some supplies and was starving- I know, hard to believe. My stomach was screaming, just hit at Taco Bell or McDonalds and get it over with. You'll feel better immediately and then wonder why you did it 30 minutes later. Luckily, cooler minds prevailed. I happened to spy Gorditas El Tio from across the parking lot and Yelp confirmed it was worth trying. So glad I did! I love combo Mexican dishes. Rice, beans, and (fill-in the blank-enchiladas this time). I went with the Bo Derek, (#10) and it was close! Really delicious chicken enchiladas with some great house salsa. Washed it all down with horchata that was as authentic as it gets. Yelpers are spot on, this is definitely a four-star place-worth trying! ”
“ It takes 32 minutes. (The time needed to get from SW baggage claim to the curbside pick-up to the highway to the very first stop on my every trip to Phoenix - authentic Mexican food at Alberto's....I mean, El Tio....same diff...and good at any location. They'll tell you they're different and that there is some type of territorial feud going on between the two locally-operated chains. But, don't believe the hype....they just like to give you reason to keep jumping back and forth between both their great menus! Go for the burritos, stay for the chips with pseudo-guac and homemade salsas!) ”
