El Tio Restaurant y Tienda

"Amazing food! Not many restaurants in Charlottesville come close and none at this price point. The staff was very friendly and had good recommendations. Service was a bit slow, but they were slammed and the food was fresh and delicious when it did come. Can’t recommend enough. It’s my new favorite restaurant in Charlottesville by a good margin."

"I got some pupusas from this place while I was in the area, they are very good, being that I know what good quality pupusas was well as other food is compared to other places that is, this place is one of the best pupusas that I've had, there's people around where it live that make them, just not as good as they make them at this place unfortunately for me taste wise."

"Amazing food with reasonable prices. Pupusa is a must try!"

"The best food i ever had is so amazing The place clean Service is amazing super nice people very friendly people If you are looking for a good place and food this is the right location for you"

"An authentic El Salvadoran restaurant that offers excellent service and all the comfort foods seasoned to perfection. Close to UVA, 250 and 29 in the old Tokyo Rose. Service: GREAT! We were happily greeted by Leo who explained the menu and took our orders. He was super polite to those with us not familiar with the cuisine. Food: Arrived to the table quickly and tasted AMAZING. Items that were not advertised as spicy came out as expected. The portions were very hearty and easily shared. Pricing: Pricing is right on point. We had 4 appetizers, 3 entrees and 1 dessert for $56. Venue: The restaurant itself is very clean. The decor is tasteful and they even have an 8ft shadow box displaying items representing El Salvador! If casino games are your thing... those too are available. Bathrooms: The only con for this location can be found here. It was difficult to get around the items stored in the hall to get in and out of the bathroom. They were clean, but the hot water men's room sink took a very long time to get hot. Overall, this is a great location. We will be returning with friends!"
