This goes to tell you how popular the restaurant is amongst the locals. Despite being full when we arrived, we were still seated relatively quickly (within 10 minutes). We started with chips and queso/salsa and some drinks for the table then ordered some family platter fajita wraps and shrimp quesadillas. It was a large meal for a group of three, and we were all savoring every bite. The food was so good that I completely blanked on taking pictures of it before we devoured the plates. The environment was very lively on Saturday night, and performers walked the dining area serenading various guests. I also caught two tables nearby with birthday celebrations, which added to the festive vibes in the restaurant. One recommendation to make the experience even better would be more training for the waiters to recognize when is appropriate to check on needs at the table without being overbearing. Our waiter came by the table multiple times and interrupted our conversations while asking the same question: how is everything going? Aside from some minor improvement opportunity for the service, everything else was great and we will definitely be stopping by again in the near future.

We were craving Mexican food and wanted to try somewhere new. Los Tios is located in Sugar Land in the corner of a small shopping center filled with small businesses. We walked in and was greeted right away. It was the beginning of lunch so it wasn't just as crowded yet. We were seated in a booth. It was weird because the table wobbly. We stayed in the booth and didn't make it a big deal however, it was weird. As usual when coming to a Mexican Restaurant, they bring the chips and dip. Always a favorite. After looking at the menu, we decided we would share mesquite grilled fajitas. The for 2 combo that included chicken and beef was our choice because we wanted a little variety. All of them are served with guac, pico de gallo, sour cream, and fresh tortillas. Mexican rice and your choice of beans was on the side. The food was really good. The meat was tasty especially the beef. Maaaaan. The beef was seasoned to perfection. The chicken was good and seasoned well also however, it was just something different about the beef. The vegetables that came with the sizzling plate were also good! At the end of our service, we were given pecan pralines. That was different to me. I have never had that happen before while leaving a Tex-Mex restaurant. I know I'll end up coming back again because it was quick and good service with satisfying food. [Review 52 for 2019.

It is cozy, clean, organized, and very inviting as soon as you walk in. I was immediately greeted by the hostess/waitress, who was incredibly eager and ready to answer all of my questions about the menu. They even have fresh flowers displayed throughout the restaurant on every single table. The Complimentary Starters, chips and salsa are perfect. The chips are light, thin, crispy, and fresh-definitely not expired or stale. The red salsa is served warm and has a great spice to it, while the green salsa is cold and tastes amazing (I believe it has some avocado mixed in). They also brought out a complementary cup of hot charro beans ready to eat. The Vibe they have is great with music playing throughout the restaurant, but it is kept at a perfect volume so it isn't overkill. There is also a nice, well-lit sitting bar located toward the back. Since it was my first time visiting, I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I ordered a shredded chicken tostada, a cheese enchilada, and a ground beef taco. Everything was absolutely amazing all the way around! The rice was flaky and delicious, and the beans were great. I absolutely Love the fact that the food was not overly seasoned. Usually when I eat Mexican food, it always has lots of flavor, but I can tell that there's soo much seasoning. The waitress was absolutely amazing throughout the entire meal. She was continuously checking on me to make sure I had everything I needed, and she even refilled my drink with a to-go tea on my way out! If you're near the First Colony Mall or the Sugar Land Town Square / City Center area, please make it a point to stop by this restaurant. I easily give it five stars or more! Note: They close at 9:00 PM during the weekdays, and likely a bit later on the weekends.

The server was also our bartender. She made a great margarita. In a glass without all that extra sour mix. The margarita didn't come to the top of the glass which some people would complain about but I knew it meant same amount of tequila just less sweet/sour mix which was perfect! The margaritas tasted good, had a good kick & not a lot of extra fluid. The garlic shrimp with veggies (squash/zucchini) was flavorful & the beans were good. (I often just skip the beans) It's a modest mom & pop restaurant & even though there are many Mexican restaurants in the area, this place is worth a try with friendly service and good margaritas & food.
