Los Tios - Houston

I 've been enjoying Tex Mex food at Los Tios for a long time. (Since they first opened in Meyerland the '70s. It 's always been good but since the original owners sold it, I 've noticed a slight dialing down of the spiciness. Everyone is different but I prefer that this type of cuisine to have stronger flavor without having to add a lot of hot sauce. My biggest complaint is the enchilada gravy. Very bland and too much of it. It would be better to have a chili con carne gravy on cheese enchiladas than the low flavor gravy they use. That 's just me and I know that the locals that frequent this location must be okay with it. Anyway, I 'm glad Los Tios has survived this long and I 'll still return but will choose different things that have more flavor.

One of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner! Edit: Back again! Here's a nice photo this time! ?

We just happened upon this restaurant. ? Fabulous place to eat. We were seated immediately, even though it was fairly busy. Jose was our waiter. He was very attentive to our table. We ordered beef enchiladas and panchuga (sp? Monterey. Both plates of food were EXTREMELY hot. Both are full of flavor. It was also nice that they had someone that was constantly filling our tea and water glasses. As well as our bowl of chips/salsa. The restaurant tables were beautiful. They had cloth table cloths. As well as cloth napkins. And the tables were a good size to hold all the plates and glasses. We will make it a new place to eat regularly now. You want delicious food?! Stop here. You want great service?! Stop here. You won't be disappointed

Nice Tex Mex place. It's changed a _lot_ since I last ate there (before Harvey). Decoration wise, it's nothing special, but it's clean, nice and you wouldn't mind eating here. The food is good. The red salsa with the chips was nice. Unlike a lot of restaurant salsas, it has texture and some flavor. For entrees, I enjoyed the grilled snapper Veracruz. It was properly done not overcooked. And it comes with a lot of grilled vegetables. I'd recommend it. It's not fancy, but it doesn't pretend to be.

I would not really recommend this place, but I probably have higher standards for Mexican food than most. Average at best. Food was hot when it came to the table, but it lacked flavor and season. I had a stuffed puffy queso with chicken and my wife had the black beam soup. Our waiter was absent most of the time and I had to ask someone else to fill my water. They had plenty of staff. He just wasn't on the floor as much as others. I won't be back.
