4 stars is good and 5 is great! I ordered a Chile Relleno and the Fajitas Tropicana with shrimp and steak. The Chile Relleno was nice and crisp and packed great flavor with the smothered green chile. My Fajitas were served on a half pineapple and the flavor fully matched the great presentation. I highly recommend trying this!! My server was awesome and she kept our drinks full and checked in politely and appropriately. Whether you are a local that has not tried these items or someone passing by The Town of Platteville off HWY85, make sure to give Tio Juan's a try.

Unexpected gem in small town of Platteville. Happened to be driving by was unaware of the gem of it had not been for Google map. To my surprise the restaurant is larger than expected, menu quite diverse and many options in various price ranges. The prices were maybe a tad higher than I expected however it's worth it. The nice lady that provides service was quite amicable and professional. I opted for coffee which was fresh and delicious nothing fancy but fresh. The only downside there was no regular sugar on table. I ordered a molcajete. Usually my go to when I'm hungry. They brought complimentary chip and salsa and bean dip which was delicious and perfectly portioned. When the molcajete arrived it seemed a bit smaller than I expected , however it was good enough portion and I'm a big eater even though eating bit less it would suffice for majority of customers. As soon as tasted the first pieces of meats from molcajete I was surprised. The sauce was hardly present which tends to be a big thing with molcajete, however what it lacked in size and sauce it made up for in deliciousness in well cooked meats seasoned perfectly. The molcajete had streak , chicken, shrimp and to my surprise carnitas. I which it would had a little bit more steak but to my surprise the carnitas were quite delicious at the bottom along with nopales or cactus. Usually don't see many molcajete with carnitas but these were a nice surprise as they were quite flavorful so it was great. I would definitely recommend it , I'll probably stop by try other dishes when I get a chance. Just fyi, read some reviews, this is more homestyle as opposed to restaurant style cuisine the flavors may not be what many are accustomed , yet it is quite more enjoyable and hard to find in a restaurant setting.
