    Lunch special. Puffy Queso and cheese enchilada.
    Ricky R.

    The wife and I decided to take a weekend trip to Fredericksburg. We loaded up the car and hit the road. Once we hit Fredericksburg around lunchtime, we were hungry and looked for lunch. I cannot tell you how giddy I was when I noticed a Los Tios was here. I told the wife it was non-negotiable, and we would be eating here for lunch. For those who do not know, Los Tios is a restaurant that has a long standing existence in Houston dating back to the early 1970s. Even though I reside in the San Antonio area, I grew up in the Houston area, and have a very fond memories of Los Tios. As a tot, I shared many a good meal with my parents and grandparents. So yeah, stumbling across this was huge in my book! We arrived and were greeted promptly. They had the typical Mexican restaurant decor and big open floor plan. While walking to our table, I was digging the Stevie Ray Vaughan music playing throughout the restaurant. We put our name on a list, and after a brief 5-10 minute wait we were seated. We were greeted promptly by two nice waitresses. One waitress was in training and learning the ropes. They took our drink order and we were left to peruse the menu. Chips and salsa came while we waited for our drinks. Chips and salsa always tells the story if a Mexican restaurant will have good food. Knowing the quality of Los Tios, I was not worried. As expected, the chips and salsa were just as delicious as I remembered having them as a tot! We picked at chips and browsed the menu. On a side note.. When in Rome... You must get a puffy queso. This is one of their signature dishes you get here. It is an actual queso puff and not a cheap imitation taco shell flipped over with queso on top. This is the real deal. I ordered the lunch special of one puffy queso and one cheese enchilada. The wife ordered the chicken fajita tacos, but did not get a puffy queso. Her loss.... After a nice visit with the wife, and in good time, our food arrived. Very hot plate, so I went to knock out the puffy queso first. It was absolutely delicious. Crunchy, cheesy, and really good. After my plate cooled down a scarfed down the rest. All of it was very delicious. Not one spec of food left on my plate. The wife enjoyed her tacos. We paid our bill and made our way out the door. On the way out they have a big bowl of Andes mints, so I grabbed some before heading to the car. The entire experience was nostalgic and delicious. Everything was excellent just as I remembered it. If you are in Fredericksburg, I highly recommend you stop in and get you some good Tex-Mex. You will not be disappointed. According to local news, Los Tios is/was supposed to come to San Antonio. It cannot get here soon enough. Hey Los Tios, what is the ETA on that? Can you provide me with a date? Enjoy!

    My husband and I are frequent visitors of Fredericksburg (San Antonio residents) and had yet to try a Mexican restaurant there. 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!

    Great Mexican food! We're here for a long weekend and I was craving Mexican food. Conveniently located off the main street with Publix parking lot across the street. We got there a little after 5 on a Friday evening and wait time was 15 minutes. We definitely beat the dinner rush because it very quickly became packed. We shared the 1lb black angus beef fajitas and it was absolutely delicious. Homemade tortillas were excellent. $6 house margaritas before 6pm and there great. Service was wonderful. Would definitely come back again!

    Bean chalupa & puffy queso was awesome.
    Scott B.

    Busy here- 30 min Tuesday night wait. Good food and service though. The passionately perfect margarita was superb (my wife thought it was too sweet) and a cheese stuffed chile Relleno was excellent.

    Been here several times and they have Great food and service. The fajitas, from my experience, are the best in town and we'll be back soon.

    We traveled to Fredericksburg for a bachelorette weekend and decided to try Los Tios Mexican Restaurant after finding it on Yelp. I had no idea Los Tios was originally a Houston establishment, so that was a pleasant surprise! We ordered the puffed queso and crispy tacos--both were good and very filling. The tacos were a little on the greasy side, but honestly, I still enjoyed them. The chips and salsa were so good, definitely one of my favorite parts of the meal. I didn't order a drink myself, but I tried my sister's margarita and it was strong and yummy, just the way a margarita should be. The ambiance was eccentric and fun, which made it a great spot for a bachelorette trip and added to the overall experience. The service was great! Manager came out to greet us! Overall, it was a solid stop during our trip, and since I live in Houston, I'll definitely be checking out a location there to compare. Would recommend if you're in the area and craving classic Tex-Mex.

    What a fun and tasty spot! I was invited here, and I see why people around here like it. The bartenders were friendly/smiley and all staff here seemed to check on you regardless of whom your main server was. That is huge in this day and age. I really enjoyed the green sauce they served with the chips. The red sauce seemed a bit watery...could just have been an off day. So I will give that one a shot again next time. The fixtures around the bar area were gorgeous, as well as the presentation of the drinks and food. The margaritas were refreshing and a really great deal during happy hour. My only complaint was the bar area had some fruit flies. But that is an easy fix. Overall, I would definitely come back here and try more dishes with this type of welcoming and professional atmosphere.

    Great appearance and lively ambience. We hoped to sit outside as billed on a Wednesday- "Not tonight." A 25 minute wait so we sat at the bar. I guess we were in a weird spot. 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

    Cheese Enchiladas
    Karisa A.

    Disappointing Mexican food! 100% Skip! Ambiance & Service: the restaurant is large with a cute ambiance and lots of seating. Service was fine but nothing to write home about! Food: - Cheese Enchiladas with Spanish Sauce: Soggy, lacked flavor, and too salty! The sauce was practically just chunky marinara sauce. Completely off-putting! TL;DR: Cute place for drinks but food was a huge miss. Stay away from the Spanish Sauce!

    Great bar - ask for Kevin

    Great food, perfect drinks, intense location - awesome Friday night for us. Money well spent.. Must try

    StevenBrenda p.

    Quick service. They threw in a puffed Queso shell. It was not the star of the show. In fact, not really great at all. Instead of salsa and queso like most places, they serve salsa and guac dip. Fresh sauces and fresh hot chips. Excellent. Happy hour $6 margs were okay. I could actually taste the tequila. 4:00 was perfect. They got slammed after we got there. Cool bar, lots of i door and outdoor seating. Street tacos 9/10 Salsa 9/10 Guac sauce 10/10 Margs 6/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 9/10.

    Food was tasty as we enjoyed street tacos with rice and beans. All was yummy and service was on point. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

    Los Tios in Fredericksburg is a must-visit! The food is outstanding, with the chips and salsa being a personal favorite--fresh and full of flavor. Happy hour starts at 3 PM, making it a perfect spot to unwind. I can't say enough about the service, especially from bartender Luke, who was exceptional! His friendly vibe and drink recommendations truly enhanced the experience. If you're looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere, Los Tios is the place to be!

Their potato sausage and egg taco barely had any discernible sausage to it. It's the communal salsa bar that really makes the tacos extra special. They do have a fountain drink station, bottled soda on ice and a pot of coffee by the order window. You can get quite a variety of mixed drinks like margaritas along with numerous beer choices, although no local beers. Because of the value and sauces, I would definitely come back to this spot again. And just so you know, they do not have a public bathroom here and they are closed Monday.

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.

Furthermore, the toast was also very dry. I would have gotten butter to put on them, but the waiter never came back to check on us. The wife's eggs were cooked over hard, the bacon was rubbery, and very underwhelming. Our drinks went empty and we never got refills, again. We paid the bill and went shopping.
