Mexican Food & Culture History

Restaurant Description

Welcome to El Tipco Mexican American Restaurant, Toledo's first Mexican restaurant. El Tipco has been family owned and located in the same Toledo location since 1968. From the moment you walk in the door you'll notice the little differences that set El Tipco apart from other Mexican restaurants. You can be sure your meal was prepared using the same family recipes El Tipco has used since 1968, to ensure you're having the best meal you've ever had. Everything is made fresh everyday in their kitchen from hand-cut vegetables and meats to their secret salsas. Each recipe is unique and authentic to Mexico. El Tipco's menu features Mexican specialties including a large variety of appetizers and dips, fresh salads, homemade soups, and main dishes that specialize in steak, chicken, beef and vegetarian entrees. El Tipco is open six days a week (closed on Sunday) and located minutes from The Toledo Zoo, just West of Anthony Wayne on South Avenue. Lunch orders can be phoned in ahead of time and will be ready when you arrive. Large orders and party platters are also available, check out their party menu on this site.

Was a great family eatery before GREED set in. taco bell could teach Bob alotabout presentation and value. Especially regaurding location. Same dirty carpet for years (smells) cieling apears smoke tainted, Menudo-a bowl of soup thats been frozen for EIGHT DOLLARS???? Craaazzyyy!!!! I took my 84 yr. old mom there today 4 her bday. when she is gone I'll never have a logical reason to go there again. Unless they make prices reasonable for their location. and bring the ambience up a few notches.
Ps the food is great, GREAT!!!But grossly over priced.REINVENT yourself, a once crowded fun place to eat, reasonably priced, now barely a customer to be found.

I had the Philly Steak Sandwich, my wife had a burger, and we both had fries. They were excellent. The place is nice, clean, and friendly. Remember, this is a pub; if that's what you're looking for, I highly recommend it.

We were drawn in by the beautiful architecture. The building was beautiful, inside and out. We were a bit put off by the lack of people there on a Saturday night, but gave it a chance. The service was good. The drinks were good. The food, on the othe ...
