From hand-made tortillas to smoky salsas crafted daily, Tacos El Tio brings the warmth of authentic Mexican cooking to the heart of Lexington on South Limestone.
Tacos El Tio was born from a simple belief: that the best meals come from real ingredients, patient techniques, and the kind of hospitality that makes strangers feel like family. Every dish on our menu carries the same warmth and intention we'd serve at our own table.
Whether you're joining us for a quick weekday lunch, a Friday night with friends, or a family celebration, Tacos El Tio is designed to feel like home.
Rich wood tones, soft lighting, and open kitchen views create a space that's as comfortable as it is beautiful.
Our bar features classic Mexican cocktails, local craft beers, and a rotating selection of house-infused spirits.
Host your next gathering with us. We offer private dining options and catering for events of all sizes.
Hands down the best Mexican food in Lexington. The carnitas tacos are incredible — you can taste the care that goes into every bite. We come here every Friday night now.
The atmosphere is exactly what you want — lively but not loud, stylish but comfortable. The margaritas are strong and the staff makes you feel right at home.
We hosted our anniversary dinner here and it was perfect. The private dining area was lovely, and the tasting menu was a wonderful surprise. Truly special.
Reserve your spot at Tacos El Tio and experience the warmth, flavor, and hospitality that keeps our guests coming back.
