This should really be a separate entry, because it is owned by someone else, has a different name, and has a very different menu. Of course they do have both signs up still, so it's a little confusing. There are some diner items left on the menu: a few burgers, and some breakfast. But mainly there's a huge Mexican menu, with Mexican breakfast, lunch, dinners, drinks, etc. Met Mike here for lunch. It wasn't super busy at noon on a weekday. Service was great, although it was a little slow towards the end when we waited on our check. But in general, very good. Huge menu with lots of interesting stuff on it. I got esquite, Mexican street corn but in a dish instead of on the cob. Very good. Big portion. And I got carnitas. A pretty standard version, but very moist and tender, very flavorful. Came with fresh corn tortillas, plus the usual rice and beans, etc. I was starving and ate all of both, but both were pretty big portions, so I normally would've had a few leftovers. Definitely more on the menu I wanna try. A nice place to eat. Still feels like a diner, but somewhat redecorated. Prices were reasonable for quantity and quality.

It was everything that I expected. The food was great. The customer service was great, the place was clean, and the prices were reasonable. I even like how they have a bar on the other side of the room from where I was dining. I found that to be very cute. I will definitely go back, and I recommend this place to others.

I like their all-day breakfast better now than the previous owners! After re-visiting for dinner, I wanted to give this spot a shout-out. Made from scratch, good food that is priced reasonably, bring the family. Plenty of seating, great service.

Food is always fantastic, nice portions, family friendly service!. they offer a huge menu from breakfast to dinner items. 10/10

Dan's is here no more, but Tio's is, so Tex/Mex fans rejoice! The walls are still awash with old diner kitsch. And now they have US & Mexican flags to add to the ambience. The breakfast is still enormous, even though it speaks a bit more Spanish than it used to. Lunch looks hearty. Dinner was more than ample. And the service is as agradable as can be. My Carnitas filled more than 1/3 of my plata. Mom's Popeye chicken (with spinach of course) filled half of her platter, and was a wonderful mix of "run for the border" flavors... heading south that is, because running the other way sucks. My margarita came with a generous slice of orange, a wedge of lemon, and blueberries under an umbrella. I was a bit slow on the trigger for pix, but from what so vices on my plate, I hope you can see that my Carnitas were done to perfection. The cheese dip was cheese dip, and the salsa was salsa. No surprises, just the food you'd expect your uncle to serve you when you stop in. Awesome stuff, guys. Muy bueno. Muy rico. ¡Muchas gracias, mis amigos nuevos! New note... cerveza only on Sundays until further notice. But still great food. Tonight mom & I both had the giant flan. It's all still very good here & well worth the trip south.

What an amazing place. Best Mexican on the South Side hands down. Great margaritas, Quesa Fundido, Chimichangas! I've been here for breakfast also and it's amazing. The food and service is so great. Inexpensive and such great quality.

I had a delightful second visit, with exceptional food and service. The breakfast offerings boasted generous portions, while the mimosa and margarita were particularly impressive. The staff displayed remarkable friendliness and attentiveness. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the delectable French toast, complemented by fresh strawberries. Overall, this establishment proved to be an outstanding destination, complete with a fully stocked bar!

Good ol diner vibes but with both greasy spoon diner eats PLUS super tasty Mexican comida! 100% loved it. Friendly, quick service, tasty food, amazing prices. This is a simple neighborhood diner - it's not fancy or pretentious but these are some of my favorite spots! We had Mexican eats this time and got completely stuffed for about $30. Love it and will def be back.

The food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The portions were big and we were given free chips and Salsa. The service was impeccable and the environment was kind and friendly. Can highly recommend.

Good hidden gem in the south side of columbus! Bae loves Mexican food and tios diner is the spot! They was quick and food was perfect. The French toast was so delicious! They play Mexican music and the decor is Elvis lol It's very clean and right off of 104 freeway!
