The SceneTake it to Tila's tiny terra-cotta adobe for smooth margaritas and earthy, Santa Fe-style ambience. Expect a well-heeled clientele who are comfortable forking over extra pesos to hang in their element and nosh on designer Mexican food. The FoodSophisticated eating starts with rosy, tequila-marinated smoked salmon or rich nutmeg-laced corn and carrot bisque. Don't let the poorly dressed ensalada No. 1 derail you. Keep it complex with engaging (albeit uneven) mains: stuffed chicken endive or spicy pork tenderloin medallions with basil-mint pesto. Or go traditional with tangy, chili-sauced spinach enchiladas and smoky black beans, deftly prepared chili rellenos, or generous tortas stuffed with roasted carnitas and the works. Finish with the dubious sounding but decadent ancho fudge pie or cinnamon-kissed Mexican hot cocoa--both wickedly warming.

Don't waste your time or money
By bangshady on 06/26/2007
This place has gone majorly downhill. Service is slow and not good because the waiters do not care. The owner is rude and yells across the room to her staff while people are eating and she does not care. The drinks are grossly watered down and not worth the 5-10 dollars you pay for each of them. The food is expensive and not worth the money you pay for it. Tila is one of the rudest, most unprofessional owners I have ever met and I will never go back to support her restaurant or recommend it to anyone unless I want them to recieve poor service and rude waiters, managers and owners

It ain't Tex-Mex

Tila's is the closest approximation of a good Mexico City restaurant you can find in Houston. It is one of our favorite rsstaurants. The food is consistently good and the outside patio wonderful when the weather cooperates.

03-18-04 I would like to know if your type of bussiness is only for anglo customers. I sat in your place of bussines for one hour the waiter was not polite except to the anglo customers. We left the place without seen food out on the table.
