Truly an experience to remember! The service is always excellent. They make you feel welcome and part of their family. The food is a delight for the senses! Every dining experience I have ever had has been exceptional. The margaritas are top notch.
Amazing local Mexican restaurant in the Outer Richmond. The drinks are strong and the food is plentiful. Friday and weekend nights are the most lively--would recommend making reservations so you don't have to wait. The queso appetizer is a MUST!!!! Love the chile rellenos. Wish the rice was fluffier and more flavorful. If you like spicy, make sure you get the their special salsa!
The queso is the way queso is meant to be. Hot, bubbly, and so cheesy! Bottomless chips and salsa are complimentary. The margaritas are 99% tequila which isn't my thing but other people seem to enjoy that. Enchiladas are just okay and I'll pass next time. The surprise for me was the burrito. So big and full of flavor! Next time, I'm trying the chimichanga. Vibes of the restaurant are dark and intimate, which I enjoy. Prices can be high but the plates are big enough for 2 people to share. Especially if you start with the queso, which I 100% recommend. I recommend making a reservation which is easy to get. The waitlist can get long and the bar area is always full. Parking can be tricky, so plan ahead and expect to circle a few times. Overall, love this place!
Great food with large portions Service was great with nice bday Singing and special treat The Margaritas are potent a few will do it Only downside is parking be prepared To drive around Best parking on Geary We plan to return soon Good job Tia Margarita for a fun night out
Margarita was great with perfect ratio of alcohol and sweetness! Refried beans and rice were to die for! I personally got one beef and one chicken flauta and it was delicious! My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Prices are definitely on the higher side hence the minus of a single star, but other than that everything was great! Portions of the food were huge, interior and atmosphere were great, and the waiters were personable and kind!
So glad to visit Tia's again today. Great food, reasonably-sized portions, fantastic margaritas, and incredibly friendly/attentive service to boot. A solid choice for those with kids and plenty of budget-friendly menu options. We sat outside, but the vibe was perfect. Honestly can't think of much more I'd look for in a neighborhood restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit.
We literally only had margaritas and paloma's and chips but the vibes were immaculate. Antonio as our server and was a sweet angel. He brought so much joy to our day and we felt transported to mexico with the music, patio, and flowers outside. 10/10 recommend a sunny Sunday here!
