“Best Mexican Food in the Area!”

This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Alexandria. I've been going to Los Tios since they opened (with only 6 or so tables!), and have loved every minute of my time there. The staff is so friendly and wonderful, especially the owner, Herman. The drinks are awesome and BIG. The food is amazing. I personally love their pupusas, their tamal de elote and the tostada salad with beef. Their beef is flavored so well!! The chips and salsa are neverending, and always refilled before they are empty. I go here at least twice a month and always take visitors here!

It's good. But I still prefer Taqueria Poblano down the street.

“Good for kids”

Los Tios Grill

Jun 21, 2008

If you want a family friendly place, this is a good choice in the Del Ray area of Alexandria--inside is very noisy and they're forgiving of kids running around. The portions are ample, if the food's not outstanding. The Salvadoran dishes are better than the Mexican ones; hard tacos are better than the soft. Stick with beer or soft drinks--the margaritas are extremely sweet and they seem to have stopped putting alcohol in them. At $12 for a large, it's an expensive limeade.
