"We first dined here over 2 years ago and it was amazing; this last time, not so much.Food: Table Chips were store bought, table salsa tasted old, beef taco had no flavor, cheese enchilada was undercooked, and the house margarita looked and tasted like a slurpee. Table guacamole was the best tasting food item.Service: I’m not sure why but they appeared to be seriously understaffed. One server for the room of 13+ tables. Two expeditors/busters, one bartender and one other person who appeared to be doing multiple tasks. Menu was dirty with dried sauce or salsa, table and seats felt dirty, and the floors looked like the carpet had been taken out but they hadn’t finished the floors.Atmosphere: There was no music playing. When I asked the server, she apologized and gave a excuse of being “really busy” and “hadn’t had a chance to turn it on.” When the music did come on it was so slow in volume that you could barely tell it was playing. There was a big sign stating: “No host on duty.” Not sure if it’s budget or other costs, but a host/hostess is imperative. Overall the place felt dirty and neglected. It needs something. New flooring, a fresh coat of paint, LED lighting, just something. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu"

Super nice, local sort of bar, Jose the manager has a great crew. We are not from here but will be back sometime.

Still our favorite Mexican restaurant in San Diego, we always go there when we’re in town. Love the food, friendly staff.

First time here in probably 15 years. Not a crowded night. Waiter was polite and friendly. Service was quick and food was as good as I remembered. View menu

For vegetarian options, I always order the vegetarian burrito, which is delicious. I'm not sure how many other options are available, but the staff is knowledgeable and happy to help if you have questions!

I haven't been back here in about 8 years. The atmosphere has really gone downhill. Food and service was decent (nothing wrong but not noteworthy) but bathroom had vomit, the place was empty, and was missing the light casual atmosphere. Was kinda odd. I'll go again as it used to be a mainstay.

The food is good however our food was called in and I originally asked for a chicken tostada and they gave me shredded beef instead. So when I got home I had to drive back to the restaurant to go get my chicken tostada because I had no idea they screwed up. However again the food was good! Will still continue to eat here as the food is really good. View menu

The experience was mediocre at best. Overall, it was below average, and there are definitely better dining options available. It brought back memories of the bland Mexican food I encountered during a work trip on the East Coast, and after returning home, I was hoping for something better. Based on other reviews, it appears that Tio Leo's has seen a decline in quality in recent years, and unfortunately, I have to agree. I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews, but I feel the management needs to improve in order to keep up with the competition in the area.

We tried the burritos and a lettuce wrap with chicken and eggplant. I decided to sample the eggplant, even though I usually don't care for it; unsurprisingly, I wasn't a fan. However, I really enjoyed the chicken. Next time, I think I’ll stick with just the chicken as the helpful waitress recommended, or perhaps I'll try a fajita instead. This place has a lot of fun potential and plenty of space; they could definitely host lively happy hours with music, mixers, or games. As for parking, it's located on a hill/slope. There is a ramp on the side for wheelchair accessibility.
