The food was delicious and full of flavor. The music, wall art and colors bring life to this beautiful restaurant. All of the staff was friendly and the service was fast.
A good environment. But the food took way too long to get out. 6 people in our group and everyone got their food 20-30 min apart. I got mine almost 2 hours after ordering.

This place is CLEAN! Fresh ingredients and beautiful atmosphere thanks to the wonderful staff. Felt welcome the second I stepped in. Homemade tortillas are on point and presentation of those delicious grilled shrimp tacos, legit. Matgarita was simple, strong, and made with love. Small fenced patio for well-behaved 2-4 legged creatures AND a full bar. Can't go wrong with this place! If I'm back in town, this will be my first stop.

Tacos are great I had the fish taco and a Carne asada taco. The best fish and Carne asada tacos I have ever had in my life, seriously! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. And the home made hot sauce, oh my, as good as I make. Only detractors I could mention is that it gets very loud.

My boyfriend and I shared the Molcajete, it was just ok, not worth the cost. We've had better. Older gentlemen needs to look and behave more professional, his pants were sagging, messy hair, saw him poking his butt after coming out of the bathroom. Won't be

I am very particular about my Mexican food but Tipzys beat my expectations!! WOW. From the moment you walk through the door it gives a favorite Tias house (if you know you know) Friendly service is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! I opted for the Mulita combo plate asada!!! I tried the beans and rice first, as that's always the best indicator if it's good Mexican food or average Mexican food...One bite had me doing a cumbia in my seat, you could tell no can was used they were not beans but Frijoles!! The rice was cooked to perfection by the time I got to the Mulita they had already won my stomach over. Highly recommend!! Great Food, Great atmosphere AMAZING staff!!

Amazing food with HUGE portions. You won't leave hungry. I also had a Michelada which is one of the best I've ever had.
This place is AMAZING! The food is amazing......reminds me of my grandma's food. Customer service you feel like your at home with the family. Their homemade tortillas are beyond delicious. Please come and support these amazing latina ladies!!!!!!

This is my new favorite Mexican place. Not only do they have made to order food but they have homemade tortillas. Ask for the chef Richard he can guide you or Georgie the server.Give it a try!!

Confession: This is the first time I've been to Tipzys Tacos so review may change later. It is right in the heart of tower, across from my favorite Dollar twenty five tree. It is owned by a former DJ named DJ TipzyAmbiance- The restaurant is a smaller scale than other restaurants. Upon entering, you are greeted with beautiful Mexican Folk Art and bright colors that make you feel like you are in San Diego. There is a main backdrop at the bar. I was not dressed, but if you want cute photo drops, especially on holidays, this is the place. You have beautiful Dia de los muertos Art and larging paintings of the greats such as Vicente Fernandez, Frida Kahlo, Selenas and Antonio Aguilar. Very cute! I personally think if they painted all the walls with more folk art and decorate the tables a little more, it would bring the restaurant aesthetic to another level. Pretty colorful Runner, colorful flower centerpieces, Mexcan Papels, little DOD statues, some floor vases. Service- Our waitress was very friendly and sweet. It is true about other reviews that our service was a little slow. We were not offered a drink menu. She had to double check what we ordered. The restaurant was not packed since it was a Thursday night. One thing I always like is getting my drinks right away, especially since I get a cocktail, water and coke. Lol. Food- I wanted the Tower Mariscos- Seafood Tower, but I decided for a 2 shrimp taco plate with rice and beans. My husband got 3 combo plate with shredded beef enchiladas, chorizo taco and rice and beans. Our food was made with homemade corn tortillas. He also ordered a homemade flour tortillas with butter on the side which gave him a nostalgic feeling of sitting on his mom's kitchen counter eating his tortilla with butter while she continued making tortillas. Tortillas- The homemade corn tortillas were definitely the star of the show when it came to our entrees. Rice- We really liked the garlicky taste. My husband who is Mexican could swear his mom was back there making this rice.Beans- Good. Shrimp tacos- I am very picky when it comes to shrimp tacos. I honestly have never found one I liked until now. The grilled shrimp was extremely delicious. The garnish of red cabbage, sauce, pico and a squeeze of lemon was very good. They gave us a red, smokey salsa and I honestly did not need it. Margarita- Everyone knows I like margarita on the rocks with salted rim. I got a house margarita for $5 and it was made perfect. Wasn't too strong, very flavorful and gave me a decent buzz. Price: For 2 entrees, one imported beer, one cocktail $5, one $4 appetizers, another $4 appetizer and 2 sodas, it came out to 72 with tax and tip. Not super cheap, but not bad for what we ordered. I definitely want to return for karaoke and breakfast.

The food was delicious. We were there for Happy Hour and enjoyed margaritas and beer at good prices. The service was very good and the restaurant was clean with a nice decor.
