    The enchiladas verdes were delicious.  They're served with sour cream but I order them without.
    Maria S.

    I went for happy hour. Unfortunately, the only food item for happy hour is a queso puff. I had the margarita on the rocks for $6. For dinner I ordered spinach enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. They do have vegetarian black beans. The waiter offered grilled veggies instead of the rice because the rice is prepared with chicken stock. The problem arose when I got the bill. He didn't mention I'd be charged $1.50 extra for grilled veggies. I mentioned it to him. He said he could give me $2 back. I said it's ok but didn't tip him for the veggies. He should mention it beforehand.

    10/23/2025: I am always surprised at the consistency of LT across all locations. My home location is the Kirkwood restaurant, but I frequent the Westheimer location from time to time. The decor in the San Felipe location is the prettiest, but I digress. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night. They have regular table with chairs seating, booth seating, and bar area seating. The service is always spot on and I love that the waitstaff wears the traditional Latin America guayabera shirts. It sets a tone and feels more authentic. THE STAPLES (i.e. meal #1): We all know Texans base a good Mexican restaurant on the chips, salsa, and margs to start. Anything good after that is just a bones. I love their chips. Thin and crispy, with a small tiny bit of visible grease that adheres the salsa and salt perfectly to the chip. They are always hot when they arrive to the table. I love their salsa. They serve both red (cold) and the creamy green (also cold). I have many times turned down an invite to a Mexican restaurant just based on the chip/salsa quality and options. Many times my response will be, "let do LT instead... they have that good salsa and green sauce". The margs are unbeatable. Always a buzzy feel even if you get the house marg. Right out of the gate, you are off to a great start with those 3 items in check. If you are not a Texan and you are scratching your head reading this, trust us. We are closest to the border and we know our stuff! Don't ever try a Florida Mexican restaurant if you are new to Mexican. You will not understand the love. Sorry, Florida. I love you as my home away from home, but the Mexican food needs some serious help. Y'all stick with the seafood. (although, we know how to do seafood in South Texas too!) THE NEXT PHASE (i.e. meal #2): I usually have my main items I order every time. Either the tacos al carbon (beef) or the cheese enchiladas. This time, I decided to order the beef quesadillas. I added a side of rice since I love LTs' rice. The quesadillas were terrific. They were cut in small pizza shaped wedges all nicely lined up on the plate for a nice presentation. They come with sour cream, guac, and diced tomatoes. I was only able to eat half, so I ended up with leftovers, which is always a win. SERVICE: Always friendly and fast service. I think our meal was out in under 10 minutes for our table of 4. Our drinks were never empty and our waiter consistently bused our table well. I highly recommend LT. Start to finish, I always have a great experience.

    I love Los Tios! Margaritas are always on point! My favorite thing is the truly puffy queso puff. No one else in town has a legit puffy queso puff. Other places just turn a small taco shell upside down and pour queso on it. Service is excellent as is the atmosphere!

    This is my go to place for lunch during the workday Love the lunch specials they have. The Cheese Enchiladas are amazing. Tried the burger as well, and it was quite good. Staff was friendly and the service was fast The ambiance is like any other Tex Mex spot, but nothing wrong with that

    $6 happy hour margaritas

    Happy hour 3-7, nachos & margaritas are awesome. Inside ambiance is pleasant and relaxing. Ask for Ramiro.

    Food was very delicious. I had the Texas quail and a single enchilada and it was so good. The prices are really great. The ambience is really wonderful because you can pick from the bar or from the dining room. It's a little bit more quiet, depending on your mood, the service was Beyond amazing and friendly. We loved the host all the way to our waiter Abraham amazing time for my first time, my husband goes all the time so it was a wonderful experience you should go. FOOD was so good. I didn't even get to take pictures but believe me it was amazing. a sizzling Texas quail is what I suggest you go with.

    Ever since Chuy's closed down the street Los Tios has been my local go to affordable Tex-Mex spot. I've been a few times prior but now more than before. I like to get the enchiladas el carbon (with fajita steak meat). Their happy hour goes til 7pm and they have $5 house margaritas (lime, on the rocks or frozen) which is a great deal. This location is huge and spacious and also has a private room in the back for reservations. The waitstaff is friendly and they're always fully staffed with is harder to find nowadays in the restaurant business. Their parking lot is shared with the shopping strip and looks big but the rows are very narrow and also diagonal so I recommend parking farther away to be safer.

    I hate to be ignored, especially I'm the customer. I came to Los Tios Restaurant on Westheimer for a meeting during a weekday. I arrived at the lobby searching for my group. There were 2 entrances from the parking lot and 2 more entrances to the dining halls. I can't say if they were connected. I saw waiters walking across from one hall to another rapidly. I didn't get a chance to open my mouth and they were gone. I can vaguely see men and women written on 2 separate doors separated by a stand. This lobby is so creepily dark. Okay guys. Am I invisible or you don't see an Asian man standing there? I had to ask my friend to come to get me from the misery. The meeting room had a TV on the wall and setting for buffet line. Wait staff took the order without a smile. But I was there to present at the meeting. I didn't know my food arrived. Chips and salsa were fresh. But there was no spoon. So, I had to use a chip to scoop salsa for my tasteless fish tacos. The fish strips were over cooked and tasted fishy (not fresh). I prayed to Los Díos - I don't want to get sick eating here. Amen.

    tasty choices
    Danny G.

    We've been to 3 locations and all satisfied with . Food has great Tex-Mex flavors and the staple refried beans/Spanish rice are some of the best seasoned just right and damn near perfect. All dishes are tasty and have not been disappointed. Margaritas rule; choose one from drink menu and can't go wrong. Service staff is very friendly and spot on as we appreciate being recognized upon entering. I prefer sitting in bar area at Tanglewilde location as the decor has elevated the look and made it classy. We dine here very often and highly recommend it. Priced well, too.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent.
