    1 holder of chips allowed!
    Karen C.

    Very disappointed again. This is so sad because our first time there was so nice! Management did send a gift card after the bad experience so I figured giving them the district managers card they may be different. Nope! 1 bowl of both salsas only allowed. 1 container of chips allowed. This is unheard of! Queso came out semi warm with 4 chips! Yes 4 chips! And can't order anymore because not allowed so had to take back to Austin. Ordered the 1 lb or angus beef fajitas. They came out and we questioned the amount and was told it was a pound. We each had 2 fajitas that we could only put in 2 pieces of meat in each. Had to fill up with the guacamole, sour cream and pico. A table next to us got this very large fajita platter and I asked if that was 1 pound and they said yes. We asked our waitress about the amount again and was told we got what we got. We have moved from Houston now and this was our last meal in the city. If ever back in Houston. Will NOT be coming back!

    is it good? yes. but if you want to try the puffy queso get it stuffed otherwise it's just a taco shell ball w/cheese

    MR fajita taco al carbon as requested!!!

    Service was extremely disappointing. Perhaps I came at a shift change, but my waiter & all waiters disappeared after my food was delivered. No one checked in on me. I needed water & salsa. I stacked my dishes & pushed them onto the outer corner of my table. No one came. Eventually I had to go to the bar to get someone to bring my check. That said, I was impressed with my food. I asked if I could get the beef fajita medium rare on my taco al carbon & I did! Pappasitos is often unable to do that on an order of fajitas. I used to visit Los Tios Bellaire with my grandmother way back in the 70s. As I became old enough to drink I have vivid memories of her drinking margaritas, getting a brain freeze, touching her head & saying, "It hurts." I hope that the Bellaire location stays open so that I can visit the same location that I spent my childhood at & took my grandmother to as an adult. I will give this location another chance. I love the gorgeous decor & building.

    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.

    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.

    Supermex Bowl Easily one of the best bowls in Houston. Great price, huge portion, and I get it at least twice a week!

    Los Tios never misses! Great Mexican food, good prices, and such a fun atmosphere. The service is always friendly, and it's one of those places you keep coming back to!

    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.

    Tacos al Carbon - Chicken
    Linda S.

    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.

Neither one of us had eaten and we were both starving. We had decided that when I was released we would just go to the restaurant that was in the same parking lot as the facility. I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you. Then they all suggested Maria Rita's. My wife and I had never heard of it before so we asked where it was and it was located 2min down the street. When we got there it was packed, but we decided to thug it out and wait for a table, this also gave us time to troll the parking lot and land a killer parking spot as people left. We finally got the notice that our table was ready. The inside was clean, awesome and had a savory aroma mixed with a Smokey grill Oder that just made us even more hungry than we already were. We both ordered this dish that came with fajitas and bacon wrapped shrimp with a cheese sauce that was Truly Amazing! When I finally was able to take a bite of one of the four gigantic shrimp after I completely destroyed my fajitas, I thought that I was going to pass out from the ecstasy that the flavor profile from that shrimp that overwhelmed my senses!

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
