    1 holder of chips allowed!
    Karen C.

    Very disappointed again. This is so sad because our first time there was so nice! Management did send a gift card after the bad experience so I figured giving them the district managers card they may be different. Nope! 1 bowl of both salsas only allowed. 1 container of chips allowed. This is unheard of! Queso came out semi warm with 4 chips! Yes 4 chips! And can't order anymore because not allowed so had to take back to Austin. Ordered the 1 lb or angus beef fajitas. They came out and we questioned the amount and was told it was a pound. We each had 2 fajitas that we could only put in 2 pieces of meat in each. Had to fill up with the guacamole, sour cream and pico. A table next to us got this very large fajita platter and I asked if that was 1 pound and they said yes. We asked our waitress about the amount again and was told we got what we got. We have moved from Houston now and this was our last meal in the city. If ever back in Houston. Will NOT be coming back!

    is it good? yes. but if you want to try the puffy queso get it stuffed otherwise it's just a taco shell ball w/cheese

    MR fajita taco al carbon as requested!!!

    Service was extremely disappointing. Perhaps I came at a shift change, but my waiter & all waiters disappeared after my food was delivered. No one checked in on me. I needed water & salsa. I stacked my dishes & pushed them onto the outer corner of my table. No one came. Eventually I had to go to the bar to get someone to bring my check. That said, I was impressed with my food. I asked if I could get the beef fajita medium rare on my taco al carbon & I did! Pappasitos is often unable to do that on an order of fajitas. I used to visit Los Tios Bellaire with my grandmother way back in the 70s. As I became old enough to drink I have vivid memories of her drinking margaritas, getting a brain freeze, touching her head & saying, "It hurts." I hope that the Bellaire location stays open so that I can visit the same location that I spent my childhood at & took my grandmother to as an adult. I will give this location another chance. I love the gorgeous decor & building.

    This is my favorite Los Tios location with the Westheimer store coming in close second. I enjoy the ambiance the San Felipe location provides. They have a nice bar area that is split into two sides and the main dining is also split between two sections. This helps mitigate the crowd noise during peak hours. From my experience the value is fair until you start getting into customizations. That goes primarily for alcohol but has been known to apply to certain food add ons as well. Also worth noting I have experienced the occasional stale puffy queso. I've addressed this with management where it was quickly reconciled. I would certainly recommend visiting the Los Tios San Felipe location for any occasion. Favorites include: Fajitas, tacos, guacamole, fajita enchiladas and blood orange margaritas: The only aspect I'm not a fan of is the tablets the servers are required to operate when taking an order. It creates awkward moments and is not as personable. Restaurants using this technique should advocate for a better solution.

    Enchiladas Carbon Dinner
    Amanda C.

    This review is long overdue. I'm posting this because of the wonderful service Carla always provides. It's actually been two weeks since we last dined here but I haven't forgotten how wonderful her service is and the food. It's actually my husband's favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Houston. My husband always orders the enchiladas Al carbon which consists of enchiladas beef fajitas. This was my first time ordering the Veracruz. It was red fish with a delicious sauce. My son always orders the bacon wrapped shrimp. Every time we come, we always look for a table in the bar area because it's where Carla is. She always greets us with a warm welcome.

    Supermex Bowl Easily one of the best bowls in Houston. Great price, huge portion, and I get it at least twice a week!

    Los Tios never misses! Great Mexican food, good prices, and such a fun atmosphere. The service is always friendly, and it's one of those places you keep coming back to!

    I've been to Los Tios twice now for lunch and happy hour. Los Tios is a relaxed vibe with good Tex Mex and tasty margaritas. I like the margarita specials they have during the week and happy hour. Can't really beat it. I really enjoyed the puffy for lunch. It's surprisingly filling. Stuffed with beef and whatever toppings you want. The enchiladas al carbon were also good. Got them with sour cream sauce.

    I've never had a puffy queso and I just had to try one here. I got mine stuffed with chicken and pork which looked and tasted yummy . If you are really hungry you might want to get a combo with it included or else you might need more. Luckily for me I had filled up on chips and queso which were just as delicious! My kids 4&6 enjoyed their meals , a quesadillas and bean burrito) and we were able to customize part of the meal for their picky nuances. The service was great and we were able to get in and out quickly without any complaints from the kids.

    Tacos al Carbon - Chicken
    Linda S.

    It was a lot of food! Portions were really good. I wish I had the option of switching out my taco shell for a soft taco. It wasn't my favorite Tex Mex place but it did have a big diverse menu. I was seated by the kitchen so it had a cleaning smell to my seat. The place was more run down but it was still homey inside. The puffy queso was interesting and something that was unique. The food itself was okay but again wasn't my favorite taco.

    Jeremy D.

    I will definitely be coming here again! I live pretty close and always pass this restaurants. We decided to try this place out for lunch, and it did not disappoint! The food was fantastic and service was good. Definitely come here if you're craving some good food!

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
