Social Profile:

Los Tios Mexican Restaurants have been serving Houston authentic Tex-Mex for almost 5 decades. In that time, devoted diners have made Los Tios a family tradition handed down over generations. Favorite tables, favorite waiters and most importantly favorite dishes have become rituals with Houstonians who have named Los Tios “Houston’s Best Tex-Mex” time and again. Los Tios offers Tex-Mex favorites that include fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, nachos, tamales, burritos, quesadillas and our famous puffy shells dripping in creamy chile con queso. Many Houstonians got their first taste of a frozen margarita at Los Tios as we introduced Houston’s first frozen margaritas back in 1975.

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 had the Lunch Special with a Cheese Enchilada and Puffy Queso. The food was delicious and the staff was superb.
If I visit Houston again, I’ll definitely come back.

Chicken plate was dry and bland. The charo beans were very good. The rice was also bland. Seems like it is the go to place to eat for older white folks. At least that was 90% of the lunch crowd. We were in the area and decided to just try it out. Not impressed. The best thing about my meal was the beans and the green sauce.

The customer service is top-notch and the food is always very good. The restaurant is clean and has a great music selection. Sometimes we extend lunch just for the music! My favourite plate is the Supermex bowl – it is amazing. Highly recommend.

I live about 45 minutes from my brother and decided on the spur of the moment to go have dinner with him. Told him I wanted Mexican food and to pick a spot. It definitely did not disappoint. The place was inviting and the food was delicious!! Our server Erik great, especially considering he was new. The prices were more than reasonable as well!! We plan on another visit soon so that my son can try it too!!

I love their chicken. Its honestly the best I’ve had in any restaurant. Also their corn tortillas are to die for, homemade and very thick. Margaritas are on point. Service is great. No complaints.

Excellent place to grab lunch if you are in the area. The March Madness trifecta Margarita was amazing and only $5 is a great deal! Food was amazing as well. Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back in the future If we are in the area again.

First time dining here and I was greatly impressed! They gave me complimentary flour chips and queso. The service was fantastic, quick, prompt and personable. The food! Pictured is the Buffalo shrimp. Massive in size and out of this word delicious. They offer a pick 2 item lunch special and, because in always on the look out for a great breakfast, I posted a picture of that as well. The interior is spacious and tasteful. I will definitely be back often. Thank you!
