Read More On Citysearch WBSkidmore 4/16/2010 - Fantastic restaurantI frequently visit Tila's for lunch and dinner. This time, the day was late, and my date and I went just to try out several varieties of the restaurant's tequilas at the bar. Our bartender, Roberto, was very knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and offered great advice. Then, we had the privilege of spending some time with the owner, Tila. She was absolutely delightful and genuinely interested ...
Read More On Citysearch WDallas 2/11/2010 - TILA - THE OWNER - needs Psychological HELP!My fiance and I went to dinner at Tila's 2/4/2010, and we had previously purchased a $25 coupon from restaurant dot com that we had planned to use that night. After we handed the coupon to the server with the check, he said that they had no longer done business w/ Restaurant dot com and he had to notify Tila (The owner) to see if she would accept it. Tila came over to our table, with a laminated ...

We brought the dog so we had to sit outside... Tilas brough me a blanket and a personal heater to keep warm...then brough doggy treats and water for the dog. And then recommended the BEST margaritas we have ever had! Delicious. My mom had the cheese souffle (yummy) and I had a Carne Asada which were both definite "do overs!" overall an e...
Read More On Citysearch Victoria Schlesinger 11/1/2009 - Great Food and Wine95% of Mexican Restaurants in Houston are Tex-Mex. This one is real authentic Mexican food and it is delicious. It is a great place to take a date. It has good atmosphere, and the service is outstanding. I had the rotiserre half chicken and I had to take some of it home because I got full. It is also reasonablly priced so you can be cheap without appearing to be cheap. I highly reccommed th...
Read More On Citysearch springsteenfan2009 4/6/2009 - bad reviews disappearingI find it interesting that the bad reviews I have seen on here have disappeared. Guess what DON'T GO HERE! The other reviews are FAKES! The service is usually very good, the food is really good. BUT THE INTRUSIVE OWNER IS RIDICULOUS! I read one review on here about a month ago that stated she kept jarring on person's chair and yelled at them to move their table over because she felt the other tab...
Read More On Citysearch noname2003 4/2/2009 - Perfect for brunch on a nice dayWe sat outside on the patio for brunch, and it was a very nice atmosphere. I had chilequiles with scrambled egg which was delicious! My bf had the juevos rancheros and he was equally impressed. The margaritas were good as well. Bloody mary is too spicy though.

Read More On Citysearch Anon8 2/27/2009 - best waiter in a mexican restauranti just recently went to a great mexican restaurant on the curve of south shepherd in the river oaks this weekend. my husband and our freinds were so impressed by the food and most important the waiter we had. His name was Frank and he remembered all of our names at the table. We ordered one of all the specials he mentioned to us. His tequila knowledge blew us away not being latino, we were wowed...
Read More On Citysearch dollyhouston 9/7/2008 - Great Food, Service and Tequila!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 cal...
Read More On Citysearch Tgiampaolo 8/6/2008 - Wonderful!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 romanti...
Read More On Citysearch medina86 6/6/2008 - Great food and atmosphere!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...
Read More On Citysearch lvcooper 4/1/2008 - Great food and friendly ownerMy 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 ...

Read More On Citysearch ekwilks 6/27/2007 - Good place to try
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 ...
Read More On Citysearch huyhong 3/21/2007 - Fun place for different foodI 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 ...
Read More On Citysearch tx07 11/7/2006 - Good times here.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 :)
Read More On Citysearch Silly_Mongoose 10/7/2006 - great atmosphere and great margaritasTila'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.
Read More On Citysearch spiffy44 9/14/2006 - Yummy-oso!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....

Read More On Citysearch hotfries21 9/14/2006 - Great Sunday afternoon hangout on the patio!I read below about the slow service and I wanted to comment on that. The food is well worth the wait. I'm happy that they take the time to prepare the food perfectly. Yes, that's right, perfectly. The food tastes as great as it looks. Very nice presentation. The menu is quite extensive for how small of a place it is. I love the grilled scallions and roasted ear of corn appetizers. Not a big marga...
Read More On Citysearch adgiant 8/29/2006 - Best Food in Town - and you'll want to hire their decorator!While their mexican food may not be 'authentico' it is muy excellente! They will make it as spicy as you like [and for a gal from San Antone, that's pretty darn spicy!] and will not forget to check on your table. I took my friend from California here and he had never had such good 'ritas. Their margaritas, compared to most of those I've tried my year and a half of living in Houston, actually ar...
Read More On Citysearch kawaiicat7 8/12/2006 - Great First Impression!My 1st time experience was great for service, food, staff attention. Whoever said the salsa was too hot needs to go back north. I'm Texas born and it was not hot. Both the green and red salsas were just right. The salmon marinated in tequila and the trio of enchiladas was great! I'll definitely go back. The margarita I had straight up was great also.
Read More On Citysearch miss_mona 10/11/2005 - User review by jpclarkmbaGoing to the bar? Ask for Alex. Alex is one of the best bartenders in town, and with an awesome sense of humor, he can make anyone's bad day turn good. Looking to dine? Ask for Manuel, you'll never go wrong. Like Alex, he's been there for years, and he's the best!
The best items are: 1) Chilean Sea Bass (an off-the-menu item) 2) Stuffed Filet Mignon, and 3) Pork Tenderloin Medallions. A...
Read More On Citysearch jpclarkmba 7/18/2005 - Unique, Spicy, Relaxed... Tasty!!Tilas is a wonderfully decorated, well-situated mexican restaurant just north of the confluence of West Grey and Shepard. It's packed with all sorts of interesting Mexican art, but is still full of room to relax and enjoy the excellent food. The atmosphere is softenend by the warm colors, and the outdoor deck, with its overhanging plants, offers a sense of intimacy while still being outdoors. ...
Read More On Citysearch magnolia_hotel_houston 6/4/2005 - Fun, different Mexican experienceIf you're looking for a fun, casual atmosphere for Mexican, choose Tila's! It has fabulous outdoor dining, and the chicken endive is to die for. Great margaritas, too!
Read More On Citysearch marymoll 5/26/2005 - Poor Service & SelectionMy wife & I had heard good things about this place; however, our experience didn't live up to its reputation nor our expectation. We had a long wait, and there was only 2 of us. It took 10 minutes to get a drink at the bar while waiting. The mexican food slections were miniscule along with the portions. Nothing special about the fajitas nor the shrimp tacos. Good thing the chips were good, e...
Read More On Citysearch sra_123 1/27/2005 - Great little placeWhile I would agree that Tila's is not the most authentic Mexican food in Houston, it is, however, extremely tasty fare. Difficult to characterize with a single ethnicity, especially with dishes such as the pear and brie quesadilla (which is wonderful, by the by), it does seem to have a new southwestern/mexican edge. Only big drawback is the abyssmal parking situation, on par with it's tasty ne...
