Reviews for Tio's Tamales in Honolulu, HI
Very good breakfast burritos! I suggest getting half red an half green chili, just to see what you like best! Great prices too..... it's a breakfast/lunch spot. Not a dinner spot Read more
Not very good for vegetarians. The vegetarian option is bean burrito, but was just beans and rice with a little bit of cheese.... The guy was very nice, but the burrito was extremely bland. Should add like fajitas or avocado or even pico di gallo. Was justbeans and rice in enchilada sauce. The chille relleno was good. Read more
Brah?. Brah?. BRAH?. Have I got a story for you? I have been wanting to come here for awhile, but I don?t really eat out much?... today I had forgotten that I was supposed to pick up beautiful daughter after practice so I hopped in the car to pick her upasap! When I got there she was HANGRY!! J/K?. But she was hungry?. One of her favorite foods is carne asada fries?. I wanted usto try a new place and there was a restaurant I wanted us to try? Tio?s Tamales. They feature New Mexican cuisine and I havebeen wanting to go, but rarely go out and very picky on my Mexican food being a Tejano? but we gave it a try? I was greeted bythe owner Ray Mascarenas? this was a very small eatery with only one small table inside and very warm, but Ray was beyond cooland made me feel like a brother once I entered? I felt that even if I didn?t like the food I would probably come back justbecause this guy was sooo freakin? nice! He is from New Mexico and moved here in 2010? he said the people here made him feellike he was home. Almost everything had green chile sauce on it ? even their hamburgers?! But the pics looked so dang good? Icouldn?t make up my mind. I decided to play it safe with a burrito and carne asada fries. My daughter didn?t want to eat therebecause there was no air conditioning so we headed to McDonald?s?. Ray handed me the bag with my order and it was HEAVY!! I knewthat meant this would be my food for the weekend? We got to McDonald?s and I got us some drinks and the food did notdisappoint. It was funny ? beautiful daughter thought the fries were spicy and I just thought it was flavorful? I had to get heran ice cream afterwards to cool her down? regardless? it looks like I will be coming back here again?. Mahalo Ray! Read more

We ordered tamales for NYE, a dozen chicken and half dozen pork. We also ordered a chicken taco plate and smothered chicken... burrito to go. Delicious and authentic New Mexico style food, it's so addictive that we want to go every week now! Read more
My go to place whenever I crave for Mexican food. Been a fan since its first opening. Their food is unique and not your typical... Mexican food in Hawaii. The breakfast burrito will get you full for hours and ready to start your day. Must try the MexicanHamburger it's SO ONO!!!! The owner is friendly and cool. Support local!! Read more
Awesome place! If you are looking for a great spot in Honolulu for tamales or Mexican food in Honolulu, look no further. The... menu is simple with tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, tamales, and carne asada fries. (Sides and drinks as well) keeping itsimple is a great idea, do a few things very well and people will notice. The whole restaurant is very clean, even to the pointthat you'd think this was a brand new location. So kudos to the staff for keeping things looking amazing. The only bad part isthat I wish I knew of this spot sooner. I also need to mention they have a vegetarian tamale, I didn't try it this time but Iwill next time I come. Enjoy the photos, they will speak volumes of the taste. Read more
