Tio's Latin American Kitchen is in Shelter Cove Towne Centre, and it is a relaxed place to eat tacos, empanadas and Cuban sandwiches without dressing up for it. The menu mixes Latin American dishes with Mexican favorites, and local reviewers regularly mention the vegan options. The chef, Lynden Zuniga, grew up in Honduras, and the menu leans on that background. If you searched for Tios HHI, this is the Shelter Cove restaurant; the company also has a second location in Bluffton.
