4 stars for the food and drinks and 2 stars for service. Kitchen made excellent food. Absolutely delicious! Bartender made an awesome Margarita on the rocks. However, poor service started at the front door. No greeting. Had to ask for a menu and sat at the bar. Had to wave down the bartender for service. No greeting. No smile. Staff in general did not seem to care whatsoever about patrons. They interacted with each other a lot and talked with the manager, but not a lot of attention for the paying customer. You can see the whole general picture of what goes on in a restaurant by sitting at the bar. Complete disregard for customer service. I would love to tell you a specific bartender or server name, but nobody ever greeted me with a smile and a name, just "what can I get you?" read more

I am so delighted to be able to depend upon Los Tios to throw a party. My nephew and I gave a party for 45. It was to celebrate my brother's 70th birthday. Sasha and her incredible staff made it so easy. The food was great and constantly replenished without having to remind the wait staff. The bartenders never kept a guest waiting and yet they respected our budget. The restaurant's décor makes folks want to celebrate. Entertaining like this makes me want to do it again or think of another excuse for a party there. Thank you Los Tios. read more

I decided to give this place another try since our last time of coming to eat. The food had no seasoning in it it was soooo bland i would not recommend eating here if you want Mexican food, they have big parties so no Covid regulations are being enforced and as we were eating there was dirty dishes next to our table and a waitress went to another table and got their plates and places it next to ours so clearly cleaning is not a priority here. The dirty dishes sat there for most of our meal and waiters kept adding to it it was disgusting. I don't like the fact that we don't know who our waiter or waitress is. I just know I won't be coming back. The food was flavorless there are plenty of better restaurants closer then this place. read more

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was awesome. I ordered the deluxe tacos and it was more than enough. The happy hour $5margaritas are great as well! I will definitely be back! read more

Good 'old Tex Mex! If you are looking for delicious and typical Tex Mex you should definitely come to the Los Tios on San Felipe. The interior is very well done, very cute touches from metal cactus sculptures when you enter, to a 2 level bar. High top seats at the entrance and a lower bar seating in the main dining room. There is also a large enclosed sun room adjacent to the main dining room. Our server Emily was absolutely wonderful, sweet & attentive. I would definitely ask for her again. We ordered a $5 "create your own" puffy queso. We added beef fajita meat and guacamole on top. It was yummy. Then I got the Meatless Special (queso puff, guacamole and 2 cheese enchiladas) and my mom ordered the Acapulco meal (crispy taco, queso puff, tamale and 1 cheese enchilada) both came out hot and tasty. As if that wasnt enough we also ordered the sopapillas. They were hot and fresh and served with honey and caramel. They are crispy and chewy and dusted lightly with cinnamon and powdered sugar. YUM! I highly recommend you go! read more

I was expecting a better meal and a better experience. We were visiting Houston from LA and searching for a good Mexican restaurant. Los Tios seemed like a nice place with great food. However, it was not a good experience. The salsa was watered downed and flavorless. My food was cold. The waiter was absolutely awful. She literally threw our plates down and had a nasty attitude. We tried to talk to her and cheer her up to change the negative energy we were sensing but nothing helped. We also heard her arguing with her coworker over which tables they were each waiting. It was not the relaxing delicious Mexican meal I was expecting. Very disappointing. read more

Love Los Tios for a great marg and good! I want to be selfish and keep this secret to myself but I can't it's not fair! If you come in def ask to be in Alejandro section! He is an outstanding waiter and on top of it at all times even with a crazy busy section. I will of course be back and sitting in my favs section!! read more

Were in The Galleria & decided to stop & eat at Los Tios on San Felipe. We were able to sit by the window in the enclosed patio area. It has been over 20-years since we ate at a Los Tios...too easy to eat at a nearby spot. We had a great waiter! Ordered Margaritas & you could taste the Tequila! They were delish! We both ordered a Combo (#2 & #3) - both were wonderful. The Queso Puff & Cheese Enchiladas were amazing! Made us both realize it had been too long - so we will be back! read more

Went to pick up takeout during quarantine and ordered a lb of fajitas. They said it would be enough for 4. It a was not. They also did not leave any tortillas in the bag that I didn't figure out until I got home. So I called to let them know I was on my way back to pick up the tortillas which they said they would tell the manager and meet me there. I get there and nothing was offered to me I need another half a pound of meat because the fajitas were not enough for four. I fully expected them to comp the meat for me having to come all the way back for the tortillas and they did not. Keep in mind that we tipped the waitress very well due to the circumstances. Check your food every time you order and make sure everything is there before you drive away read more

Amazing food, had our food ready and literally sizzling in 20 minutes. The food was so good, and we were joking about how we were gonna call the manager over to tell him how good the food and service was, but he actually was already coming around to table to check on everyone, which was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend if you love great food, great service and a comforting environment! read more

Amazing fajitas! Beans are flavorful, tortillas homemade, and rice great flavor as well! A+

LOs Tíos is right next to my work and is so much fun! Full of young people. Love the decoration inside it really makes you feel like you're in Mexico. The parking is a little hard but it didn't bother me . The service is excellent. The MARGARITAS on the Rock or frozen are the best! Food was good, did I mention the Margaritas ... no seriously go and tried this place you will love it !! read more

I used to go to Los Tios , years ago, in Meyerland a lot. It is1- Tex Mex. i was surprised when they took over their new location, as it was so upscale. The new atmosphere was nice . We had a party of 8, for lunch, and I was told it was a 15 minute wait. No big deal. I had wanted to make a reservation, but I couldn't find where to make one online. We waited and waited, watching parties of 4 and 5 get seated. Our 15 minutes turned into 45 minutes. Not fun with 3 four year olds. And a 93 year old! Finally , after several nudges from me, we were seated. We had good service , but the famous chile con queso came out cold , for those of us that ordered it. We sent it back, and we got our meals about 15 minutes later. It was room temperature, but i was not sending it back again. As i was leaving, the hostess asked how it was- i said ok, but some food items were cold. She asked if a manager checked on us- he was supposed to. I answered "no". If i had been told a 30-45 minute wait- i could have gone somewhere else. I had not planned on spending almost two hours at Los Tios. We were offered chips and salsa while we waited. read more

Some of the worst texmex you can find here in Houston. I live nearby and decided to give this place a second chance after the first time was less than satisfactory. What a mistake. Ordered to go last night and the first red flag, that we did not notice till we got home, was the smallest bag of chips they gave us for a queso and two enchilada entrees. My bf had to leave again and go to the store to buy more tortilla chips so we could have a proper meal. Secondly is the food poising this place gave us. My bf woke up throwing up like crazy, and I doubted him saying he had just not let his food go down before laying down. That was until I was throwing up at work within the next few hours, and had to leave and go home for the day. I am now here typing this as I am running to the restroom every hour to puke. There are so many better, affordable texmex places in Houston; please do yourself a favor and go there instead. read more

A traditional menu and perfectly executed TEX-MEX. The fajitas were flavorful and tender. The enchilada gravy delicious, mild, and on the peppery side. Thumbs-up on the green sauce! read more

Where to start with the absolutely beautiful restaurant. I love good food and in Houston there is so many choices. This restaurant is where we take friends and family who are visiting because it not only has great ceviche and drinks but it has a great ambience . read more

My friends and I went tonight around 9:30, the host said it was fine to come in even though the sign on the door said closed at 9. The restaurant had several occupied tables. The waiter rushed us even though the manager told us to take our time. We ordered a second round of margaritas, which came out awful, and when we asked to have them changed the waiter said he will just take it off the bill, the bar is closed. I have never felt so rushed by all the staff, except the manager. We will not be going back unfortunately. read more

The best things that I can say about Los Tios/San Felipe is that their location and decor is nice. That's about it. That being said...the food is okay. Then again...it is only "Tex-Mex". The menu prices for this Tex-Mex was pretty $$$. C'mon! $24 for a Carne Asada plate?!?! $60 for a "1lb" of prime beef fillet fajitas?!?! BTW...some of the most prestigious steak houses serves a prime Wagyu Angus steaks for $60 and this place has the audacity to compare their "fajitas" to them in the same way?!?! The ambience has the potential to be nice, but get a group of rowdy women coworkers, a screaming toddler, 20 other patrons, and Mexican music on overhead speaker...you can't even hear yourself think or much less carry a conversation. My throat was sore and I was happy to be in parking lot after dinner. The staff was nice but lacked experience. We asked for a spicier salsa (the salsa that came with the chips was soooo weak) and it took 3x to remind the waitress about it. She was nice but not very attentive. Overall, I feel that this place was not any different than your average Tex Mex restaurant (Taco Cabana included). The menu prices were simply outrageous due to the location I'm sure. However, if I had a choice to go Los Tios/San Felipe or any other typical Tex Mex place...I'd choose any another. read more

With excitement and a bit of timidity, my husband and I joined Los Tios during their grand opening this week. Though we are avid customers at one of their sister locations, I knew Los Tios would have to be extra special for me return because, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." With that said, our visit was an exceptional one to say the least. We were instantly greeted with smiles and offered a table. We were sat instantly and our waitress brought out our complimentary chips and salsa and gave us an opportunity to look over the menu. I ordered the Supermex Bowl and my husband ordered the Enchiladas al Carbon. Both of our plates and bowls were scraped clean. This is a traditional TexMex location but has a home feel to it. Even the surrounding staff filled our tea glasses when they were starting to get low (but never empty). We will be continued loyal customers at their sister loaction but Los Tios, their staff and managment have done an outstanding job creating a resturant worth visiting at least once a week! We will be returning, very soon! read more

OK this place is by far hands-down way better than Ninfas!!! I'm from South Texas and the food here is so authentic and original, it reminds me of back home! So happy I found my new spot for street tacos and crispy tacos Deeelicioussss read more

I love this location! Alejandro and the rest of the team here are incredible. Drinks are strong, food is hot, service is great! 10/10

this place is consistently good... I love the red and green salsa. such good crispy chips too. can't beat the beef fajitas.

We come here often as locals and the food is ALWAYS food! Shout out to Simra for amazing service while it was busy! You rock girl.

Let me start by saying the atmosphere in this restaurant is amazing, beautiful decorations, always a full house, and well kept and put together. I just stumbled upon this place 3 weeks ago and for the past 3 weekends I have visited I have had the same wonderful server every time , Alexcia. It seems like she gets more amazing each time, she is fast and efficient, has an amazing memory and great recommendations. She was always smiling when talking to us and a great conversationalist. If your ever there at night ask for her you wont be disappointed. read more

los tios has been a houston tex mex staple for almost 50 years. favorite tables, favorite waiters and most importantly, favorite margaritas, have become rituals for so many houston families over the years. in fact, many houstonians had their first sip of a frozen margarita at los tios in 1975 when it introduced the city's first. read more

I really wanted to like them more than the meal and experience ended up being. So overall I'll start with the good. The location is Very spacious with plenty of table options and bar seating. The decor fits well and gives it an upscale feel while still being cozy. I was greeted and seated promptly and the service from the waitress was great. She was attentive offered good suggestions and overall very nice throughout. Now the issues were fairly ranging and some definitely more impactful than others. The salsas are fairly good although not much heat to either option and the really could have used a little more flavor. I tried the chicken plate and it came about close to done without being pink but the flavoring again was nothing out of the ordinary and it really needed the compliment of guac and toppings to be satisfying. Tried also a couple of the breakfast tacos which again were lacking In seasoning. The tortillas were really the best thing about the meal overall. Now the one thing that really was under par in my opinion was the facilities. Having a little in toe it's hard enough to get them to go without having to avoid spills on the floor and overall just probably could have been a bit cleaner. Not overwhelmingly compelled to try them again but not necessarily opposed either if the opportunity presents itself in the future. read more

I'm from Sacramento , cali . I was just in town a couple days as I always am every couple of months. Alejandro took such good care of me and my drunken friends on the first day I had to come back a second day . I came alone , my friends had to much fun the night before . Once again he treated me with the upmost respect and made me feel like I was actually from here. I was very comfortable just talking to him. And he knew the menu like the back of his hand. So much so I came in for a third meal which I'm sitting at now , and still have no complaints. He's quick , great service , bilingual , and the food here is absolutely amazing . Thanks so much Alejandro , can't wait to come back to los tios. read more

Dinner was great! Ask for Alexcia, one of the best servers we've ever had! She was fast and efficient

This is no joke! A well oiled machined. The food, service and decor is extremely pleasing. We had the chicken fajitas and the queso puff. Delicious! The only negative( if you want to call it that) was that everything came out in a super efficient manner so you almost felt rushed. read more

Food was absolutely amazing! Service could have been a little better but they may have been a little understaffed due to COVID. Overall, I ate so much, I am miserable! Will definitely be back when visiting Houston. read more

We live in Austin but I grew up in Houston with the Los Tios on Memorial. We make a point to go there on Houston visits. This was our first time to go to the San Felipe location! Nice bar and beautiful space. You can't beat the puffy quesos, golden tacos, enchiladas ... chips and hot sauce and margaritas- a great start. Our waiter - Alejandro- super friendly and provided fun and fantastic service! Thank you Adair family for keeping this TexMex tradition going strong! read more

Our server Alejandro was amazing! Super nice and helpful!! They have great happy hour frozen margaritas.

The filet fajitas were the most tender fajita I have ever had. Happy hour runs Monday-Friday 3-7. Great atmosphere and great Tex-mex food. The manager came to greet us. Great service. This will be our go-to Tex mex in Houston. read more

We have been going to Los Tios for years and not only do we trust and respect the family who owns it, the food is consistently good. Moreover, I recently ordered food from Los Tios via DoorDash. The restaurant gave the driver only one of my two bags of food, and after delivery, the DoorDash driver was not interested in helping or acknowledging the problem at all. I called the restaurant and they were quick to offer to drive the rest of my order over themselves. Thank you to Serfin Perez for going above and beyond your job description for a customer. I was very impressed and appreciate your service. read more

I've been to Los Tios no less than 200 times. Typically for business lunches, but a few dinners in between. The food, service, and all, is awesome. I highly recommend Alejandro and Alexcia in the Galleria location and Giovani in the west Houston location. read more

It was a pleasure dinning experience Staff was great and Restraunt is perfect. Had quail and my wife had Enchiladas with green sauce. Both really well prepared. Someone tell Gary to be Dog friendly please. read more

Forty of my PoolPeeps from the Trotter YMCA pool aerobics classes had a fantastic lunch at this location on Wed 2 Oct. We had two waitresses, Leticia and Azucena, but honestly I thought each of our four tables had a dedicated server. Lety and Susy took such great care with us, our food, hot and delicious, arrived to the right spot, our glasses were well tended for the whole almost 90 minutes, and our checks were accurate. We had a leisurely lunch that was enjoyed by all. Please know how highly we all will praise your newest site and your exceptional staff and menu. read more

We have come here since we moved to Houston and we always have a great time. The food is so good and reminds me of back home. The service is simply the best! Thank you Alejandro!! read more

we come here often for dinner and today met an exceptional server, her name is Sylvia she's very attentive, observant and super friendly.

My boyfriend and I came in for late lunch so it was not crowded at all. Our waiter came off kind of rude from the moment we sat down. He asked us what we wanted to drink and that was it. Never took our order or came to check up on us until we asked someone else where were our drinks and that we wanted our ticket so we could leave. I won't be going back. One thing I hate is bad customer service. read more
