    I genuinely wanted to like Nurys on Main. I really did. Hope springs eternal, especially in…read moreFredericksburg, where good food is usually a sure bet. Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

    I didn't care for it. We were a large party and sat immediately, which was nice, and the restaurant…read morewas calm and nearly empty for a Sunday but honestly, there's a reason it was so dead. Right away, the service felt off. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks before jumping straight to, "Are you ready to order food?" Then she disappeared for long periods, even though we were basically her only table besides one other couple. The food was extremely underwhelming -- basic, barely warm, and nothing memorable. On top of that, there were so many flies inside that we were nonstop swatting them away. And to make matters worse, there was a bug in my drink when it was served to me. That was pretty much the final straw. Overall, a very forgettable and disappointing experience. We probably won't come again, and I would not recommend it.

Outdoor bar & restrooms available too. The inside is clean, bright, upscale comfortable vibes. Multiple seating options and a private room available. Large menu. I enjoyed the 1/2 sandwich combo with BLTA and salad. The sourdough was buttery deliciousness! Sturdy enough to hold up the thick bacon, lettuce, tomato, mashed avocado and had a light layer of aioli that I appreciated did not take over the sandwich. The salad was light, tasty, & the glazed pecans were a special treat. The other dishes enjoyed were the Texas Triple and 1/2 Chicken salad sandwich with potato corn soup. This a wonderful place that you should try when in the area. They don't take reservations unless you're George Strait. We went on a Monday just before noon (before summer break) and there was no wait.

    We were really disappointed with our anniversary dinner experience. My husband ordered the tri-tip,…read moreand when ordering, the waiter stated it could only be prepared medium-rare or more well done -- not rarer -- and we placed the order based on that. When the dish arrived, however, the steak was clearly overcooked and closer to well done than medium-rare. When we raised the concern, the waiter claimed she had told us the meat would come out anywhere from medium-rare to well done due to how it sits in the warmer, and then suggested we must have misunderstood her initial explanation. This contradiction was frustrating and unprofessional, especially as it felt like our concern was being dismissed rather than addressed. Both the waiter and manager insisted the steak was cooked correctly, despite it clearly not being medium-rare. After we sent it back, they replaced it with a filet that was prepared properly. They did remove the original entrée from the bill, but then charged us for the filet at cost. Given the situation, it would have been more appropriate to simply substitute the filet at the original menu price. Unfortunately, my meal was also very underwhelming. The fish lacked flavor and was not enjoyable. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially for a special anniversary dinner. I will say -- the hummus plate was delightful. Light and great flavor for an appetizer. The drinks were also very good too.

We stumbled upon Los Tios the last time we were there and decided we had to try. Immediately upon entering we noticed the beautiful decor, inviting bar area and comfortable seating throughout the restaurant. Our complimentary chips and salsa were already spread throughout our table upon seating along with menus which I really appreciated. Usually we have to wait for both at many restaurants so it was nice touch. We did call ahead and make reservations so I'm not sure if they do this only for reservations or for everybody , but regardless it was nice to sit down and start eating as some of us were hungry after the drive there ! I ordered a skinny margarita , queso (didn't get a pic but the chips that come with it reminded us of a thick soapapilla chip but not as sweet - they were DELICIOUS but you cannot order a bigger order of them), and combo #5. The puffy queso was delightful. I couldn't wait to try one. San Antonio used to have something similar at a Mexican restaurant that shut down so I loved that they had these ! It's their specialty apparently, highly recommend trying. My young kiddos and entire family enjoyed their food. We all tried a little bit of everything. We decided next time we make a trip to f-burg we are absolutely going back to Los Tios! Thank you for your delicious food and service! Please consider expanding to SA!

But they fixed us. We ordered the combos. It looked like a lot of food but some of the reviews were true. No on the puffy queso. Yes the chips dips fall flat. Mediocre
