Tio’s Cafe is a family-owned breakfast and lunch restaurant on Tapo Street in Simi Valley, serving a mix of Mexican and American food, from burritos and chilaquiles to burgers, sandwiches, and eggs. I eat there often for breakfast and lunch, so Tricia and I stopped in to talk with Adam.
What is Tio’s Cafe like?
Adam described it as a family-owned restaurant with home-style, fresh food, where they put a lot of heart into the kitchen and the dining experience. That matches what I see every time I go in: the staff is great, and they really care about their customers.
What should you order at Tio’s Cafe?
- Homemade turkey sausage benedict: Adam’s first recommendation.
- Chilaquiles: with your choice of three sauces: tomatillo, red, or spicy.
- Everything else: burritos, burgers, egg dishes, sandwiches, and, from what I’ve seen, chicken and waffles too.
