IMO, it's EXACTLY what a Tex-Mex place is supposed to be.
Bissonnet at Fondren. opened in 1970.
Los Tios stands the test of time.
A great new Aggie lady owned children's boutique at the same center as the Kirkwood/Memorial Los Tios. Check it out after some margaritas. Threadfare.
Did not expect one of those weirdo kid "boutique" joints to get advertised on a bumped 14 year old thread about mediocre TexMex.
Men, you do NOT have to let your wife dress your sons in this garbage.

Haha. I should have figured this would be the response. Flame away my Aggie internet friends.

Pretty sure all online ads are targeted towards your online activity….so whatcha been shopping for?
Los Tios and your wife dressing your son in essentially girl dresses with shorts sewn on the bottom? AI must be getting better because this sounds exactly like my life.
I went to the Kirkwood location on a week night a few months ago and couldn't believe the happy hour crowd! I hadn't eaten there in ages and definitely thought the food was better! We tried to go again on a Friday recently and couldn't find a place to park so ended up at La Hacienda instead...also a classic!!
This type of apparel is a gateway to transdom. /me, a xennial who was forced to wear pretty much the exact same fruity sh** for holidays back in the early 80'sMega Lops said:

Hell, to make matters worse, I even had to wear the white knee-high panty hose with it.
Yeah Los Tios gets crazy packed. Saw that they are even selling merch up front now too.megs03 said:

La Hacienda used to be a solid dependable place from what I remember, but last time we went (6-8 mo ago) it was noticeably worse. Still, not horrible, as I don't know if there is such a thing as horrible Tex-mex down here, but we were disappointed. Hopefully just an off night.
Juan Jesus singing Louisiana Saturday night at LaHa on a Friday night is all-time classic, love Joan Jesus...
I used to go to the Los Tios on Westheimer back in the late '70's and early '80's with my folks. I think it was near Fondren either in the same parking lot as Houston Jewelry (loved shopping there) or close to it.
Good stuff.

If that's the old Karaoke singer that used to rock La Hacienda back in the nineties/early 2000's, we saw him do "Enter Sandman" one night and it was awesome.RustyBV said:

I live by LA Ha and definitely drive past it to go to Los Tios. Even Ninfas next door is better but also a step up in price.
I was back in the Tine for work and went to the Tanglewood Los Tios. Not an old-school location, but food is pretty much the same. Tacos didn't seem quite as puffy, but otherwise the same as I've had for 50 years.
Will say that the bar there was talent-rich.

SE corner or Sage and San Felipe. Randall's center
Los Tios
What was the price of a Los tios puffy queso in 1970?
I'm not sure, but I remember the Acapulco platter that has one on the first course plate with a taco and guac, followed by two cheese, tamale and rice and beans being only a few bucks in the mid/late 70's (Kirkwood). Best Tex-Mex platter ever. Hasn't changed except for price.Stat Monitor Repairman said:

I remember one time when we took my best friend to Los Tios (also a Kirkwood regular) and he wowed us by ordering an extra side of chile gravy. This is how we felt:
Still there, still amazing!!!
Love me some Los Tios. I used to eat at the Meyerland location weekly. Wish they had one north of I-10.
You go to La Hacienda for the atmosphere, not the food. You haven't lived until you've heard the old man at the karaoke machine belt out 80's country music while two dozen kids are playing a game of tag, and their moms are ignoring them while slamming down margs.
La Ha is my favorite, grew up going there. Best queso anywhere. Mom always loved to ask not to sit next to the singer…I've heard him sing Barney's "I Love You" song too many times.

This. Food is garbage, drinks are garbage. Vibe and entertainment is great though and kids can be loud.
Los Tios just cant be beat. Food is great, margs are cheap and strong, and prices across the menu are much lower compared to any other mexican food place thats in the same ballpark.
I love Los Tios, meyerland location
Used to love Lopez when it was still in the strip mall. This was a long long time ago.

Love Los tios for many reasons but food quality isn't why. It's priced right for what it is imho. Plenty of higher quality local chains.
They did a good job with Tanglewood location for sure. We walk there from our office and is a CRE Friday margarita lunch hot spot.
The neighborhood location on kirkwood at memorial is much less quality food but is the neighborhood favorite so we go a lot with other families and is fine.
Took my daughter there yesterday during a dad/daughter date and service was just terrible. Like atrocious.
Over all a great OG houston brand. Good cheap drinks, good for kids, with ok food. There are some good things on the menu but fajitas and typical staples are sub par.

While we're talking about Los Tios, can I lament them letting Skeeters wither? I loved skeeters when I was in hs
Meyerland location was like family. Wife and I were regulars on Friday nights pre-kids, then back with kids in car seats and high chairs for every birthday. When all of us Meyerlanders got flooded out by Harvey, a lot of our regular waiters were at the Sugar Land location exiled with us. They were back in Meyerland when we moved back to the area after 5 years on the Norf Side (we did La Hacienda as our spot there).Ragoo said:

The corn tortillas were switched out years ago and the new ones suck. Also, on the #6 they now put the crunchy taco and chees puff on the same hot plate as the boiling hot cheese enchilada, which ruins the taco and cheese puff. Those used to come on separate plates. Other Mexican joints with the same basic combo still know to use a cold plate for the taco and cheese puff and a separate, hotter-than-the-sun plate for the enchilada. My family went to Los Tios for as long as I can remember (at least back into the 70's) but I stopped going after those changes. Wasn't worth the drive anymore.
#6 is still the jam. i end up smashing up the taco and puffy queso into a pile and scooping it up with chips.
it's too bougie now. and no arcade corner.ChipFTAC01 said:
