Reviews for Los Tios in Houston, TX
The restaurant was rather busy for a Wednesday night, and we figured the food must be really good since so many people were... there. We were seated in under 10 mins. Great ambience and decor inside the restaurant- it?s a blend of traditional and modernstyles, which I thought was very cool. Service was alright- we gave some grace because of how busy it was. Food and drinks didcome out relatively fast once ordered. Loved that the guacamole came with jalapeños! Lots of areas for improvement on theentrees. I ordered the fish tacos. Overall, it tasted rather bland, and did not come with any sauces to help improve the flavor.The big tortilla overpowered any flavor in the fillings. There was also very little fish in each taco. My second taco broke inthe middle, so I decided to just eat the fish and veggies instead. I noticed the fish was actually well seasoned. The veggies,not at all. The flavor of the fish got overshadowed in the whole meal. My daughter had the street tacos with beef. The meat wascooked to perfection and had such a great flavor. The rest of the meal, however, was bland, and the flavor of the meat got lostin it. Another odd thing was the amount of oil on the tacos. My daughter ended up eating just the meat on her last taco becauseof the oil, and that was how we discovered the beef also actually tasted great. We had such high expectations going in, andreally hoped to be wowed by the food. Granted, we didn?t try their signature dish, the puffy queso (lactose intolerance,) but weexpected so much more from the main meals. Read more
Excellent Tex Mex food, service and atmosphere. The food was hot, tasted great, our drinks stayed full, service was attentive,... and the owner visited to ensure a satisfactory dining experience. Very enjoyable for a business lunch. Read more
Good Mexican food in the heart of Uptown. Was seated immediately at dinner time. Crowd wasn't as bad as you'd imagine. To have... many choices right around the corner; you certainly won't be disappointed with your selection of Los Tios. Read more
this place is so beautifully decorated, chairs are kinda weird but look the part. a true feeling of eating somewhere else. food... was basic but solid and service was attentive but somehow they forgot some items that are included in the options we chose.lunch price looks amazing and if I was by myself, i would definitely get that. free chips are super thin and delicious, dips arenot too spicy (the green is my favorite and non spicy), perfect!

I loved it. The interior is amazing. Old world Mexican rustic takes my breathe away every time. I usually am not overly... emotional but I think I gasped when I walked in ???? but I digress. I ordered the taquitos and a margaritas on the rocks - bothwere excellent. Even the bathrooms were really cool. The staff was really nice. We sat in the interior patio that reminded meof being inside a greenhouse. It was simply amazing. I loved it and can?t wait to go back. When the center is busy, it?s alittle tricky to find a parking spot. We will be back for sure. Read more
The people were really nice. The food was average. I had the chicken quesadillas. They were bland and a bit dry. Maybe I ordered... the wrong thing? Everyone else?s food looked more appealing than mine and everyone else enjoyed their meals. The complimentarychips and salsa they give are good. We ordered beef tacos, fajitas with chicken, shrimp, and quail, and red snapper withveggies. I tried a puffy with cheese sauce and hated it. We had Sopapillas for dessert. The caramel sauce we good. Not memorableenough for me to return Read more
We had a great experience here! The server was very friendly, and was always making sure our chips and drinks were full. The... service was fast and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was great and very culturally appropriate. It was average cost for asit down restaurant but well worth it for the service and food we received. Excellent and recommended! Read more
Visited with a group a friends for Friday night dinner. There was no wait for a table to accommodate all 6 of us. The server was... really nice and attentive. He made sure all of our needs were met. The food was basic but good. There was nothing spectacularabout it but it was hot and fresh. The margaritas are strong. I added strawberry syrup to my first one and felt it was a wasteof money. I did not like how they didn?t mix the flavor in the actual drink instead they just poured it on the bottom. Overall,our experience was great ! Read more
