    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 love Los Tios! Margaritas are always on point! My favorite thing is the truly puffy queso puff. No one else in town has a legit puffy queso puff. Other places just turn a small taco shell upside down and pour queso on it. Service is excellent as is the atmosphere!

    This is my go to place for lunch during the workday Love the lunch specials they have. The Cheese Enchiladas are amazing. Tried the burger as well, and it was quite good. Staff was friendly and the service was fast The ambiance is like any other Tex Mex spot, but nothing wrong with that

    $6 happy hour margaritas

    Happy hour 3-7, nachos & margaritas are awesome. Inside ambiance is pleasant and relaxing. Ask for Ramiro.

    Food was very delicious. I had the Texas quail and a single enchilada and it was so good. The prices are really great. The ambience is really wonderful because you can pick from the bar or from the dining room. It's a little bit more quiet, depending on your mood, the service was Beyond amazing and friendly. We loved the host all the way to our waiter Abraham amazing time for my first time, my husband goes all the time so it was a wonderful experience you should go. FOOD was so good. I didn't even get to take pictures but believe me it was amazing. a sizzling Texas quail is what I suggest you go with.

    Ever since Chuy's closed down the street Los Tios has been my local go to affordable Tex-Mex spot. I've been a few times prior but now more than before. I like to get the enchiladas el carbon (with fajita steak meat). Their happy hour goes til 7pm and they have $5 house margaritas (lime, on the rocks or frozen) which is a great deal. This location is huge and spacious and also has a private room in the back for reservations. The waitstaff is friendly and they're always fully staffed with is harder to find nowadays in the restaurant business. Their parking lot is shared with the shopping strip and looks big but the rows are very narrow and also diagonal so I recommend parking farther away to be safer.

    tasty choices

    We've been to 3 locations and all satisfied with . Food has great Tex-Mex flavors and the staple refried beans/Spanish rice are some of the best seasoned just right and damn near perfect. All dishes are tasty and have not been disappointed. Margaritas rule; choose one from drink menu and can't go wrong. Service staff is very friendly and spot on as we appreciate being recognized upon entering. I prefer sitting in bar area at Tanglewilde location as the decor has elevated the look and made it classy. We dine here very often and highly recommend it. Priced well, too.

    I hate to be ignored, especially I'm the customer. I came to Los Tios Restaurant on Westheimer for a meeting during a weekday. I arrived at the lobby searching for my group. There were 2 entrances from the parking lot and 2 more entrances to the dining halls. I can't say if they were connected. I saw waiters walking across from one hall to another rapidly. I didn't get a chance to open my mouth and they were gone. I can vaguely see men and women written on 2 separate doors separated by a stand. This lobby is so creepily dark. Okay guys. Am I invisible or you don't see an Asian man standing there? I had to ask my friend to come to get me from the misery. The meeting room had a TV on the wall and setting for buffet line. Wait staff took the order without a smile. But I was there to present at the meeting. I didn't know my food arrived. Chips and salsa were fresh. But there was no spoon. So, I had to use a chip to scoop salsa for my tasteless fish tacos. The fish strips were over cooked and tasted fishy (not fresh). I prayed to Los Díos - I don't want to get sick eating here. Amen.

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Ambiance: upon walking in, it was chaos and sooooo many people standing up and sitting down. Walking around with drinks. I felt like I was in a club. A server made her way to me to take my Togo order. While waiting, I grabbed a drink at the bar and just made the happy hour cut off. Service was great as I was able to get my order and it was a large order. Everything was correct. The house margarita was ok, I wish I had gotten the hibiscus flavor. Order; Crab Tostadas Mixed Fajitas Snapper Mole Enchilada Ninfa 2 Tacos Margarita Mix The only thing I would order again is the crab tostadas and the beef fajitas. The chicken had no flavor at all. The charros beans and rice were not anything special. I was not a fan of either. Overall, we are not planning to order from here again. It just wasn't what Mark Weins made it seem like on his review. Also, whoever the driver was practically could not wait for me to turn around. Sorry, I had to take a pic. Very rude.

    A Cali girl-lala enjoying some Tex Mex…read more While in HTX I was able to meet up with a friend from college. He mentioned margaritas (not pictured) and food! So we met at Candente. Upon walking in the restaurant was clean it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but the aroma of the food! OMG! Our server was really nice and patient because my friend and I talked for about 30 minutes before we finally ordered our food. He has the beef enchiladas with rice and black beans. He cleaned his plate...literally not a grain of rice in sight! I had the smoked chicken verde enchiladas and WOW! What an amazing dish. I consider myself a Mexican food connoisseur especially being from California. I have always said Tex Mex?.....eeeeyuck! But Candente has changed my tune! I will definitely be back to visit when I return!

    Glowing red. Burning. Candente…read more Let me start by saying that I'm not into Mexican food unless it's an auntie or grandma making it at their house. I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
