I dropped in when I saw a bunch of folks going in. I had the Yamas Gyro. It was large and worth every penny - tasty too! I sat at the bar and service was very friendly. I'm eating here again.

This was our second visit to Tia Queta - our first was a few years ago with friends who had raved about it, and I honestly didn't pay that much attention. We went last night for Cinco de Mayo, and I was not impressed. The service was very slow and inconsistent, perhaps understandable for such a busy occasion, but they... More

What an awesome atmosphere! About 15 of us ate on the upstairs deck - the food was very tasty, and I wish I had time to try the desserts because they looked fabulous! The decor gave it a very authentic feel, and it was super cute, narrowly tucked away close to the Doubletree, where we were staying. The service was... More

This family-owned and run restaurant has been around for over 30 years and rightfully so. The food is exquisite and the service is warm and hospitable. In addition, the food is moderately priced. You just can't go wrong here. I usually get the carne asada and it comes with a wide variety of side dishes including- enchilada de mole, tamale,... More

We have been visiting Tia Queta for years. Roberto has ensured we have eaten some of our most memorable meals here. My wife has Celiac's Disease. And although this kitchen isn't strictly GF, it has accommodated her in every way, with no problems. In fact, Tia Queta has always been willing to tailor any dish to our desires. We hadn't... More

If you expect the standard Tex-Mex fare, go to a chain. I don't base my meal on the chips. If you want fantastic seafood prepared in the authentic Mexican tradition, there is no place better. Ask about the daily specials, sit back, enjoy a margarita on the roof-top and have a great meal. The owners and staff are gracious and... More

Good family owned mexican restaurant. Our family has enjoyed our visits to tia queta over the years for authentic mexican. My favorite is mole bueno and my wife enjoys the seafood dishes (pescado tia queta, pescado veracruzano). The restaurant is family owned, by the same family, probably since the late 70's. The ownership hasn't changed certainly since we've been going... More

Tia Queta has HORRIBLE food, minuscule portions, high prices, and lousy service. The "grilled" chicken breast entree was worthy of an airline. It was light grey, rubbery, and tasteless and was apparently microwaved. The "enchiladas" were 3 almost empty corn tortillas folded in half and reminded me of a rural college dining hall's attempt to make Mexican food. In addition,... More
