Tila's Mexican Restaurante & Bar

Great Food, Service and Tequila! 8/5/2008

by Tgiampaolo at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My husband and I were looking for a new place to meet some friends for dinner and tequila tasting when we found Tila's. We had the best time sampling tequilas and eating some great mexican food! We ordered several appetizers, carne asada and chicken enchilades, all of which were incredible. Then was the true test of a mexican restaurant......the margarita. Most places use sweet & sour and call it a "margarita". I was thrilled when I found out that Tila makes REAL margaritas, no sweet & sour to be found! If you're looking for great food, service and tequila then Tila's is for you! Frank took care of us all night and before we knew it, we had been there for almost 4 wonderful hours. I can't wait to go back for more! Thanks Tila's!! Pros: Great Selection of Tequilas & Authentic Margaritas Cons: None that we could find more

Wonderful! 6/6/2008

Tilas is wonderful! In our experience, the service is outstanding. It is best to go later in the night if it is on a weekend or on a weekday when things are less hectic. My boyfriend and I eat there frequently and we have never had a bad dish. The grilled chicken is the best I have ever had, the gazpacho is filling and delicious, and the ensalada one is a dream. Definitely eat here! It is romantic and trendy all at once. Pros: Great food, unique decor, outside seating Cons: Can get busy on peak dinner hours, but worth the wait more

Great food and atmosphere! 4/1/2008

by lvcooper at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

We traveled over 50 miles for dinner and a show in Houston a couple of weeks ago, and we decided on Tila's simply from reading restaurant reviews online. That can sometimes be a risk, but the reviews were top notch, so we gave it a try. We could not have been more satisfied with our entire experience. The food was perfection, the margaritas were great, the atmosphere was relaxing and fun, and the staff was supreme. Our waiter was quite friendly but not overbearing, and he even sent a staff member over who had been to the nearby comedy club we were going to give us directions and make sure we took the best route. We were treated like royalty and have returned home to tell all our friends, family and coworkers about Tila's. We were given a menu upon leaving and we've shared it with many who are very anxious to go try it out. This restaurant is highly recommended and we plan to return this coming weekend! more

Great food and friendly owner 1/19/2008

by zeppelinfan at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My girlfriend and I came in from Chicago to visit a friend and we went to dinner at Tila's last night. The host was very friendly and helpful in getting us seats at the bar for the few minutes we had to wait for a table. We found the staff to be very friendly and concerned with making sure we enjoyed our dinner. The owner came out personally to clarify how our friend wanted her margarita, and she was very hands on throughout the entire evening, giving us supplemental information about the specials and stopping by to check on us. The food was excellent - unique dishes (particularly the specials), the right amount of spice and pretty healthy (at least on a relative basis). The prices were also very reasonable. more

Good place to try 3/21/2007

by huyhong at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My girlfriend and I usually try to find new places to eat. We tried this restaurant recently and were not that impressed. The atmosphere is nice but the food is just average. Our waiter wasn?t very attentive and there were 2 tables next to us that both had mistakes with their dishes. The margarita was average also. Overall, this restaurant is a nice place to check out but don?t go expecting too much. Pros: good chips? Cons: Margarita, Too crowded with tables, Food more

Fun place for different food 11/6/2006

by tx07 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I am a huge Tex-Mex fan and this is what I was expecting here, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food, which was still Mexican but definitely of a different flavor. The authentic quesadillas were amazing, as were the chilequiles with green sauce. The appetizer taquitos, however, were the highlight of my meal. The outdoor patio is fun to sit on, and the interior of the restaurant is decorated in a very fun way as well. I can't wait to go back. Pros: great, different food Cons: staff was not the most friendly more

Good times here. 10/6/2006

by Silly_Mongoose at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I have dined here several times over the years. I have had the funnest times on the patio in the fall when they turn on the outdoor heaters - great for dates. The food is always fresh and not loaded down with cheesy oil (like other mexican food). Salsas are good too and go well with the banana chips. Ritas could be a bit stiffer though :) Pros: Great location and good food. more

This is what it says on the menu and it is TRUE. You have to try the agua de orchata with the fudge ancho pie. A combination you cannot miss!!! Or the Ceviche!! Yummmm!!! Or the enchiladas the mole!!! Or if you are a healthy one, try the chicken caesar salad, it is like no other!!! I have been at TILA'S many times and I have never been disappointed. Try it and if you are worried about parking...you shouldn't be. Their valet service is wonderful and FREE. What else can you ask for. Pros: AUTHENTIC Mexican Food; service Cons: none more

great atmosphere and great margaritas 9/13/2006

Tila's has a very warm, inviting atmosphere. It's a great place to go with a few friends. I love their homemade margaritas they're so much better than the frozen ones you'll find at other mexican restaurants. They have an incredible variety of tequila too - just ask for their tequila list and you'll see for yourself. Pros: one-of-a-kind mexican food Cons: far from my house! more
