Tello was born in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina. He was the son of José Tello, a Spanish businessman born in Zamora, and Josefa Zalazar, an Argentine woman.

He represented a variety of districts in the Jujuy legislature between 1875 and 1883: Ledesma Department from 1875 to 1876, Humahuaca from 1877 to 1878 and again in 1880, and San Pedro de Jujuy in 1879 and again from 1881 to 1883.[1] He ultimately became president of the legislature, and then was elected governor of the province. From 1886 to 1895, he served as a senator for Jujuy in the national legislature. Then, from 1895 to 1898, he served as governor of Chubut (then a national territory). In 1897, he went to the Genoa Valley to put down a rebellion commanded by the cacique Salpul. A year later, he left Chubut territory and became governor of Río Negro territory, a post he held until 1905.

He died in 1924 in Buenos Aires, where he lived the last years of his life.
