One of Houston's most iconic Tex-Mex restaurants, Los Tios, has officially opened its first Fredericksburg location. Located at 203 E. San Antonio St., a new Los Tios in Fredericksburg began serving customers on April 1, bringing its signature puffy tacos and frozen margaritas to the Texas Hill Country.

Los Tios, owned by Adair Concepts hospitality group, has been a Space City staple since 1970. Now with six locations, the mini-chain has become a family favorite for classic dishes like fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, and chiles rellenos.

Although each dining room has its own flair, they are all meant to evoke the warmth of Mexican home kitchens, using flourishes like Saltillo tile, richly patterned oilcloth wallpaper, leather booths, and pierced tin sconces. Each outpost also showcases artwork and collectibles gathered from the owners' regular trips through Mexico.

The restaurant can accommodate a ton of guests. The main dining room seats 100, while a circular bar seats another 44. The front and back patios make room for another 91 diners. A private dining space is also available for special occasions.

The new restaurant represents a significant investment from Adair Concepts in the popular tourist town. Company president Nick Adair and his wife, Alice, live in Fredericksburg, where they run the tiny boutique property Trueheart Hotel.

The Fredericksburg Los Tios is Adair Concepts' first restaurant opening outside its Houston homebase, but it is quickly growing its Texas footprint. Previously, the company announced it was bringing Los Tios and comfort food spot Adair Kitchen to San Antonio.

"We're excited to be part of two proud Texas communities, each with its own distinct culture and personality," says Adair in a release. "We look forward to making friends and creating memories with our proven commitment to hospitality and our own unique style of cuisine that Texas cherishes."
