Los Tios

We are German tourists and enjoy trying different Mexican restaurants in Texas because we really love Mexican food. This Mexican restaurant stood out as one we particularly enjoyed. We felt very comfortable here, and all the dishes were excellent. We will always be happy to come back here.

I was simply craving good food while in the Galleria area, and this Tex-Mex restaurant hit the spot perfectly. The atmosphere had a welcoming, lively vibe that made the whole experience feel special without trying too hard.The puffy queso and guacamole were absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and indulgent in the best way. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. This place is worth seeking out, whether you're local or just passing through.

Another Sunday brunch assessment to deliver. My friends suggested this new place in the Galleria area and we all agreed. (and excited because we had never been) The restaurant was extremely clean and tidy with a pleasing setting in a Hacienda themed surrounding. Our waiter Jose was extremely professional and knew exactly when to approach our table. He was always there to be sure our glasses were full. After we order our food was promptly brought to the table. Regrettably, the food was not at all what we anticipated, it was bland and so chain-like. I ordered the migas- and it felt like they counted every tortilla chip and every diced onion. The worst part was the lame coffee, it was extremely weak and felt like I was drinking hot water. The up scale to the bad food experience was that the prices are very reasonable… so I guess you can say we got what we paid for. Perhaps the lunch or dinner menu will prove to be better, but I don’t recommend a brunch visit.

I have to say I’m a big fan of this place. Foods great the chips and salsa are fresh, great green sauce! The best part as you can actually have a conversation. The musics not too loud or you can’t hear yourself think. I was recommended the spot by a bunch of Houstonians and it did not disappoint. I’d give it a 10 out of 10.

I had a wonderful experience at Los Tíos Mexican Restaurant. The place is very pleasant, with a divine atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Our server was extremely efficient and friendly, providing excellent service throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great Mexican food in a lovely setting!

Los Tito’s – A Local Favorite That Never Disappoints Every time I visit Los Tito’s, I’m reminded why it’s one of my favorite spots for a great meal and a relaxing experience. I stopped in for lunch recently, and everything—from the food to the atmosphere to the service—was top-notch as always. Right from the start, the customer service was exceptional. The staff greeted us warmly, and they even offered to make some delicious mocktails for us, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. It’s those little details that make the experience feel special and personal. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. One of the things I love most about Los Tito’s is how consistent they are—the flavors are always spot-on. My favorite thing on the menu is their rice. I know it might sound simple, but their rice is seriously next level: fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. During this visit, I ordered one of their lunch specials, and it was such a great value. For just $11, I got a full meal that included soup, salad, rice, and beans—everything was fresh, satisfying, and generously portioned. It’s so nice to find a place that offers real quality at such an affordable price. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and very clean. Whether you’re dining in for a quick bite or taking your time to enjoy a meal with friends or family, the atmosphere is cozy, tasteful, and welcoming. You can tell they really take pride in their space. Parking is super convenient as well. Los Tito’s is located in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking, so you’ll never have to worry about circling the lot or walking far. It’s also nice to have other shops around if you want to explore a bit before or after your meal. Overall, I can’t recommend Los Tito’s enough. The food is consistently delicious, the service makes you feel like family, and the prices are more than fair. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’re in for a great experience. I already can’t wait to go back!

If you come from a Mexican background or are use to authentic Mexican food, I wouldn't recommend eating here. It is good, but more pricey and not as authentic as I had hoped. I got the stuffed puff, which is just a puffed up tortilla. I requested to have queso fresco in it, but there was only shredded American cheese. The chicken inside was actually just grilled chicken, not very much of the Mexicana flavoring, which was disappointing. GREAT service, though!

Enjoyed a farewell lunch with co workers today. The guest of honor chose this location. I had not been here prior. The facility is huge. The service was great as they are very attentive. The food prep was quick and the meal was prepared to our liking. No concerns here, you will enjoy.

This is my favorite Los Tios location with the Westheimer store coming in close second. I enjoy the ambiance the San Felipe location provides. They have a nice bar area that is split into two sides and the main dining is also split between two sections. This helps mitigate the crowd noise during peak hours. From my experience the value is fair until you start getting into customizations. That goes primarily for alcohol but has been known to apply to certain food add ons as well. Also worth noting I have experienced the occasional stale puffy queso. I've addressed this with management where it was quickly reconciled. I would certainly recommend visiting the Los Tios San Felipe location for any occasion. Favorites include: Fajitas, tacos, guacamole, fajita enchiladas and blood orange margaritas: The only aspect I'm not a fan of is the tablets the servers are required to operate when taking an order. It creates awkward moments and is not as personable. Restaurants using this technique should advocate for a better solution.

2 stars for the host. Very sweet person 0 stars for food Tortillas Soup warm no taste my chicken enchiladas , no seasoning and the soup omg just water so disappointed this place been at Kirkwood/memorial for years. A waste of money and time! What happened the past few years not good. I tried to revisit thinking it was just an off day but NO. It was terrible again How do you stay open

Love the food here, but every single time I place a to go order or delivery order there are things missing or the order is flat out incorrect. This time we ordered 1lb of combination fajitas and we were sent all beef. I placed the order through their website and unfortunately my boyfriend didn't check the order when he picked it up. I called to speak with a manager about it and he was very condescending and lackadaisical. He asked me what did I want him to do about it...obviously I want the correct order. He offered to remake the fajita portion, I explained to him that means all the other food we ordered including the queso was going to be cold by the time we drove back over there to pick the fajitas up and got home. He finally agreed to remake the entire order. I took the full order back and received a new one, but it was a hassle to have to drive back over there as we were getting ready to have lunch before we went to an appointment. Orders should be double checked before handing it off to the customer, this obviously had to go through the kitchen staff and also the person that packaged it up before it got to us....and not one employee noticed that it was the wrong order. Again, this has happened multiple times when I've ordered online. I would also suggest management be more empathetic and learn how to handle situations like this with grace and a quick solution instead of asking the customer what would they like the restaurant to do. Mistakes happen, but it is all about admitting it and offering a resolution that is favorable for the restaurant and the customer.

This review is long overdue. I'm posting this because of the wonderful service Carla always provides. It's actually been two weeks since we last dined here but I haven't forgotten how wonderful her service is and the food. It's actually my husband's favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Houston. My husband always orders the enchiladas Al carbon which consists of enchiladas beef fajitas. This was my first time ordering the Veracruz. It was red fish with a delicious sauce. My son always orders the bacon wrapped shrimp. Every time we come, we always look for a table in the bar area because it's where Carla is. She always greets us with a warm welcome.

I've been to Los Tios twice now for lunch and happy hour. Los Tios is a relaxed vibe with good Tex Mex and tasty margaritas. I like the margarita specials they have during the week and happy hour. Can't really beat it. I really enjoyed the puffy for lunch. It's surprisingly filling. Stuffed with beef and whatever toppings you want. The enchiladas al carbon were also good. Got them with sour cream sauce.

I've never had a puffy queso and I just had to try one here. I got mine stuffed with chicken and pork which looked and tasted yummy . If you are really hungry you might want to get a combo with it included or else you might need more. Luckily for me I had filled up on chips and queso which were just as delicious! My kids 4&6 enjoyed their meals , a quesadillas and bean burrito) and we were able to customize part of the meal for their picky nuances. The service was great and we were able to get in and out quickly without any complaints from the kids.

Our office has made numerous orders for delivery and most of the time the food is delivered hot, fresh and really good. Yesterday's order was horrible. We all ordered flautas which were almost burnt, there was no pico as described on the Grub Hub menu, the grilled vegetables were barely cooked and the guacamole was already turning gray. Needless to say we were disappointed and our lunch did not meet our expectations. Cindy S.

Let's start off with the drinks. The alcoholic beverages make up for the food not being the best...they were delicious--smooth, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. Service was great, though there was no host at the front, so we just sat ourselves. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. The ambiance was a highlight. The windows open, good airflow, and it gave off that nostalgic '90s Mexican restaurant vibe. Now, the food... not up to par. The enchiladas with green tomatillo salsa tasted...weird. Which was disappointing. That said, the rice and beans were solid. But honestly, I wouldn't come back for the food or just the drinks

I will definitely be coming here again! I live pretty close and always pass this restaurants. We decided to try this place out for lunch, and it did not disappoint! The food was fantastic and service was good. Definitely come here if you're craving some good food!

It was a lot of food! Portions were really good. I wish I had the option of switching out my taco shell for a soft taco. It wasn't my favorite Tex Mex place but it did have a big diverse menu. I was seated by the kitchen so it had a cleaning smell to my seat. The place was more run down but it was still homey inside. The puffy queso was interesting and something that was unique. The food itself was okay but again wasn't my favorite taco.

It's been a year or so since I've been but glad to have been back. Sat at the bar. Service was attentive and quick. My only suggestion is to have a tv on each side of the bar. We sat on the end and really had to stretch our neck to see the Astros game

I ate hear last week for the very first time. I never went here before because I figured it was just another Mexican restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu options were great. The food was fantastic. The chips and salsa and the green sauce was great as was the food that our group ordered. The wait staff was superb and very attentive. The inside of the restaurant open, ivery clean and appropriately decorated. I will be back!

Love this place and come all the time. I usually get the queso and the tacos al carbon. This place gets packed even on weekdays, so I would call ahead or do the online wait-list. Service is great and everyone is really friendly and attentive.

I grew up on LT, so I have been a fan for many years. This location is new and impressive compared to the others. High ceilings, expansive decor, and beautiful lighting. They have a regular high top bar at the entrance, and on the other side, the bar extends with a seating area lower to the floor. It's unique and pretty. We had a family dinner for my birthday this past week. We went on a Thursday night around 7:30. We were seated immediately in a booth per our request. The service was good, the food was good, and the prices are decent. My only notable insight to share is the noise level. As I always state, I am a noise sensitive person, so I am not a fan of loud places. The high ceiling in this restaurant make for a loud environment, especially at prime dinner time. It was a little hard to hear the full conversation between the 4 of us, and remember, we were in a booth against the wall under the shorter ceiling area. I can't even imagine how it must sound in the high ceiling area. I always mention noise levels because dining with my family, significant other, and/or friends, means a lot to me. I enjoy that time to talk with each other and not have to shout. As pretty as the restaurant was, I probably will not return due to the noise level. At best, I would choose a different time to go. As we neared the end of our dinner, around 9:00 PM, the noise level did get better. However, it could have been the margaritas kicking in and making me not care as much. Cheers!

Stopped in for happy hour which is until 7 which is great considering it's basically in the Galleria. Loved that it was a feel of being the neighborhood Mexican restaurant where folks brought families and not just people going out before a night out. We sat at the bar. I had a Mexican mule which was good. My husband seemed to enjoy both the on the rocks and frozen margs. It was nice they were got three complimentary nachos each sitting at the bar. For the meal, I went basic taco salad since it's been awhile. Nothing crazy special about that or the queso. The bartender constantly was checking in. She was polite. I'd go back again.

Very good food and great service. Stopped by on our way out of town. Very good and our server was very efficient

They really need to move to a bigger location because it's so good everyone goes there and it's always packed!! Great service, delicious food. Also if you've never tried the quail, get it next time!! SO GOOD!!

We were invited to Los Tios, on Buffalo Speedway, for our grandsons graduation lunch. The food was great, but the chairs were placed so close together it was uncomfortable. He had reserved the alcove near the front that would have served well, but a screen had been placed between us and another party. This made it hard for wait staff to properly attend the guest and awkward for guests to get to and from the buffet. There was not enough serving spoons or small dishes available for queso making it a bit messy. But whoever was in the kitchen knew what they were doing.

I really want to leave a fake bad review so that this restaurant doesn't get flooded with people but I cantttttt. This restaurant is so good. The drinks are good the vibe is good and the food is amazing. Best shrimp enchiladas I have ever had! Ninfas and El Tiempo do not compare, sorry. Also, the price is really affordable. I absolutely had to leave a review because I ordered take-out for the first time and it was still so good! Packaged amazingly, and had the same great taste. A job well done to the owners and managers of this location!

Great place to go for lunch! The service is always great. The puff queso thing is cute and tasty too!

What an hidden gem in Houston. This place was so good I created a yep account to share with others. Great food, brings me back to my childhood. Good service, my only complaint is the bathrooms were not clean enough to eat in there. Overall great experience, will be coming back!

Poolside spinach & mushroom quesadillas... If you haven't had them, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Best quesadillas I've ever had. I ordered chicken too but the spinach ones were impressive. Ordered through doordash again and it was a hit! Once again, the packaging always preserves the life of the food. Quality ingredients and great service.

Expected better, but shouldn't have been so surprised. Commercial and mid, hardly authentic. Chips and salsa great, but all else was no good. Service was fine, food average at best.

I have visited this location on several occasions. I have notice the waiters are not as attentive when I sit at a table vs the bar. Yesterday, we stopped in for a quick bite to eat and we sat at the bar. The margaritas were great as usual. Tried the smash burger...it was actually pretty good. We ordered a queso which was served COLD! They did take the queso off our bill. This location has a smaller bar area but a nice size patio. Definitely, should check out one of their locations.

Delicious food, yummy drinks, great atmosphere! I can't think of anything bad to say. Highly recommend for a fun and flavorful meal!

This restaurant definitely has an authentic feel to it when you come in so you just know the food is going to be good! Came here once before just for house margaritas and tried their queso w/beef which was good. This time I actually ordered food. I came here on a Monday for the five dollar house margarita special. I love their frozen margaritas and that they have the option to put tajin on the rim. I prefer the frozen over on the rocks as it is more potent. I ordered the enchiladas al carbon one beef fajita, one chicken with cream sauce and on the side of refried beans and rice super delicious and cheesy. My sister ordered the anniversary nachos and a side of queso for extra she loved them. They have easily became one of my new favorite Mexican spots on this side of town as there aren't very many authentic options over here. The service was as great as it was the first time we came. They are very attentive. Highly recommend coming here!

Didn't make reservations but the wait was short and they got us a table even quicker than they said it would be. Waiter could've checked in on us more but the food was great and the restaurant was gorgeous!

I'll eat there for lunch about once a week or dinner depending on my work schedule and the staff is great. The food is great and can't say enough good stuff about Los tios. Excellent place to go to

The absolute best Tex-Mex restaurant in Houston! Fast service, great food, casual-upscale vibes, and perfectly made drinks. Have tried many other places around town and nothing compares. Definitely worth a visit and will quickly become a regular spot!

Great place, good food and fun atmosphere. We ordered the queso and ground beef appetizer and that was delicious. We also ordered two different combos and it came with plenty of food all of it hot and tasted great. We were there about 30 minutes before they closed so there was a lot going on around us but we understood. The only thing I would say is I didn't love the salsa choices. They were a little generic, but everything else was delicious.

5.0 - quesadilla, beef fajita 3.0 - Queso 4.5 - Queso with beef fajita 2.5 - Rice, Mexican. 3.0 - Tamale DESERT 3 - Sopapillas. Good but probably not worth the calories. If you like, los Cucos, you'll probably like this one.

Me and my friends went here to celebrate cinco de mayo (Friday night). The place was packed!! We got $5 margaritas (which were really good!!) and played cornhole outside & hung out in the parking lot tent. The frozen margaritas were also yummy. The bartenders were nice as well, and you can tell the restaurant was very nicely decorated for cinco de mayo. They had a food vendor selling record (2 for $7) and they were a little expensive for the taste/quantity. I'd have to come back here to try more food though. Overall, it was a good experience, I'd probably come back here to try the food!

Dined in for my birthday weekend and I would say it is mediocre at best. You can find good fajitas anywhere, and while these were exquisite-- for me, the price point nor the customer service matched. The drinks were strong and great. Chips and salsa were below average for me, and the waiter got more than one mistake on a table of fourteen. While I understand serving large parties, I also have been a waitress, and more than one mistake is being careless or lazy. They also refused to split the tab on the toast app, which is totally doable, leaving margin for error if the guests choose to split the tab and do the math. Come for the $5 margaritas, but get the food at Ninfa's or elsewhere.

I had a wonderful time at Los Tios - Ambiance, service and food included! The beef tacos after incredibly juicy and tender - highly recommend!! The service was very warm and accommodating, and the ambiance of this restaurant takes me straight to Mexico. I would highly recommend checking out this spot!

This is our go to Tex-Mex for the neighborhood, especially when we're bringing our daughter out. They're family friendly, (but not so much that it ruins your dining experience without a kid) they have great happy hour prices on margs, ranch waters, wine, etc., and the Tex-Mex is good and well priced. There isn't another Tex-Mex spot in the Galleria that compares, especially price to quality comparison.

I came here for Sunday brunch and I must say this is one of the nicer Los Tios locations. They serve breakfast from 10:00AM until 2:00PM which I love because I'm a huge breakfast person. My friend and I both got the chilaquiles and we both enjoyed them. Service was excellent and their prices are reasonable too. I'll come back here again soon.

Staying in the Galleria area I knew I was in the mood for Mexican food but also knew I wanted to try someplace new. Turning to Yelp I discovered Los Tios and I must say, yet again, Yelp has come through! Located in the front corner of a rather busy shopping center Los Tios was quite easy to locate, but the busy shopping center made navigating to parking a bit of a pain...but that is the only bad thing I can say about Los Tios. I was seated almost immediately in their beautiful covered patio space. After a very brief wait I was greeted by my server who brought me water and afforded me a few minutes with the menu. Chips and salsa came as I was perusing said menus and I found myself ordering a Happy Hour Modelo and their Meatless Special Dinner Plate. The food came out quickly and I was very happy with my selection. The Meatless Special included a puffy queso, guacamole salad, and two cheese enchiladas topped with Spanish sauce. Everything came out fresh and was delicious and service was attentive and great without feeling rushed. Start-to-finish my server was at the top of their game and I noticed all of the staff throughout engaged with the customers in a warm and friendly manner and everyone seemed to be enjoying their evening. Suffice it to say that another visit to Los Tios will be in my future on my next trip to Houston. Their wonderful food is reason enough to dine here again and the incredible service is an added bonus that ensures I'll be a return patron very soon.

Come on I'm in Texas. Great tacos, great music,, great drinks and overall a great place.

Good Mexican food. The place can get a little messy when large crowd is present but the food is good.

One of my two favorite Tex-Mex restaurants in all of Houston! I go for Happy Hour at the bar and enjoy the outstanding frozen margaritas, chips and salsa and then gravitate to the Garden Room for a delicious dinner of their famous enchiladas (my favs are shrimp or chicken) with all the trimmings and of course another frozen margarita. The bartenders and servers are top notch and know what I want without me even asking. All of the food is outstanding and the prices are most reasonable.

Ok- the quail tasted like cold road kill- boiled- and the service was terrible???!!!! How can the chef keep his job??&$$?? A horrible "Mexican food" experience- how do they stay in business???!$&$??!! Other than that....oh- and a stomach ache all night!!!

The service is very quick and the food was filling. I ordered the red fish on the half shell, and I enjoyed the meal a lot. It was very filling but not too greasy. I would definitely come back!

Ordered Door Dash Los Tíos and it was terrible. I order from here multiple times and this is the first time food has arrived ICE COLD and BURNT. I will be calling when they open up for business.

This was one of the best Mexican food restaurants I've had!! Good service, great ambiance, but most of all everything was delicious!! I came here two days in a row!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Houston! Came for happy hour (until 7 pm weekdays) and had the $5 margaritas and puffy queso. Super fast service and great atmosphere.

It's that old time Tex Mex that so many got rid of. I find it very refreshing to eat and those puffy cheese puffs send you back to elementary school enjoying them with my husband now! Good margaritas

Loved sharing on the 53 cent enchiladas yesterday . So yummy and happy birthday wishes to Los Tios.

Service was amazing ! Food and margaritas were awesome as well . Would definitely eat here again .

Everything was absolutely great. Held a business lunch of 20 guests - and all was wonderful. Food was yummy; service was great. We will be back!
