Welcome to El Tio Restaurant
The Flavor of Our Family
El Tío brings authentic Latin comfort food inspired by our family’s roots in El Salvador.
The same flavors that filled our home growing up are now served to our Charlottesville community — with love, tradition, and that special touch only Tío could give.
It feels like home.
