Tio's Tacos From Gastro Obscura

THIS TAQUERIA IS LOCATED IN the heart of historic Downtown Riverside. The food is that of your average Southern Californian fast-casual Mexican eatery; however, the incredible collection of folk art allows patrons to experience something completely unique to Tio’s Tacos.


This is from the informative plaques, located throughout the property, "Martín Sánchez is a proud Mexican immigrant from Sahuayo, a small town in the state of Michoacán. He is grateful for this country, the United States of America, which he now considers his own and to which he arrived at a very young age with lots of dreams, and just like many other immigrants who have seen in the U.S., the hope of a better tomorrow. The poverty which he lived in during his childhood gave him the idea of finding a use for the things that have been utilized, and in this country considered useless, then discarded. Although for him and many that come from poor countries, these items are considered treasures; with his ingenuity and creativity, he has rescued them and given them new life."

Plaques continued, "Come and Taste the Delicious Flavor of our Traditional & Real Mexican Cuisine, while you enjoy and appreciate one acre of amazing and beautiful gardens, created entirely from recycled items, waste material, and junk. See for yourself how the genius and profound creativity of Mr. Martín Sánchez, owner of Tio's Tacos #1, has transformed them into a beautiful pieces of art."



This close up is an excellent example of what Martin's creations are filled with. So interesting.








Tio's wasn't just a feast for our eyes. This was the first time I've had vegan tofu fajitas and they were delicious. What a perfect place to feed ourselves with creativity and food (and to have fun photo opportunities).
