Tucked away in Mableton, Georgia, Carniceria El Tio offers a bold, flavor-packed menu that celebrates authentic Mexican cuisine with heart and soul. The first thing that grabs attention is their generous Taco plates, available with your choice of meats like al pastor, carne asada, lengua, and barbacoa—each one juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. These tacos come loaded on warm corn tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and a side of vibrant salsa that brings the heat just right.
One standout on the menu is the Tortas, Mexican sandwiches stacked high with your protein of choice, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, mayo, and jalapeños, all nestled in a soft yet toasted roll. For a deeper comfort food experience, their Gorditas—thick masa pockets filled with meat, beans, and cheese—deliver hearty satisfaction in every bite.
The Burritos are a meal and a half, wrapped tightly and stuffed to the brim with rice, beans, protein, and optional toppings like sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. Don’t skip the Tamales—made fresh with just the right amount of masa and fillings like shredded pork or chicken, wrapped in a corn husk and steamed to perfection.
Carniceria El Tio also features Menudo, a traditional tripe soup served on weekends, rich in flavor and perfect for those craving something deeply authentic. For lighter options, their Quesadillas are ooey-gooey with cheese, served with a side of crema and pico de gallo, while their Sopes provide a thick, hand-pressed base topped with beans, meat, lettuce, cheese, and salsa.
Meat lovers will appreciate the Carne Asada plates, which come with grilled steak, rice, beans, tortillas, and grilled onions, creating a full, satisfying meal. They also serve up Chicharrón en Salsa Verde, tender pork rinds simmered in green sauce, that pairs beautifully with warm tortillas.
Every dish bursts with genuine Mexican flair, and portions are impressively generous. Whether you’re craving street-style tacos or a filling combination plate, the menu at Carniceria El Tio doesn’t hold back.
