About Tios Tacos
Tios Tacos was dreamed up by Martin Sanchez, who proudly migrated from Sahuayo Michoacán, Mexico. From a very young age, Sanchez had aspirations to get out of poverty and live out a better tomorrow. While living in poverty though, Sanchez learned how to be innovative and work with everything around him, which included trash and discarded items. He did not see them this way though and instead as unique treasures that could be crafted.
While you’re in the area, make sure to hike Mr. Rubidoux nearby!
When visiting Tios Tacos, you will immediately see how Martin’s childhood hobby of working with throwaway items has been manifested into a wonderland of art installations. Make sure to get up close and study each piece and hopefully leave feeling inspired.
Combine the aesthetics with delicious food and drinks and you will quickly see why we keep visiting this place over and over again! The fresh fruit margaritas and agua frescas are sooooo delicious! Make sure to take a walk around this area after eating. It has a lot of unique buildings, including the famous Mission Inn Hotel & Spa.
Best margarita I’ve ever had, hands down:
The fresh fruit drinks are sooooo good!
There is a small chapel here where the walls are made of glass bottles:
