Houston Tex-Mex dining institution Los Tios Mexican Restaurants will open its first San Antonio location in the Broadway space vacated last month by La Madeleine, state records show.
The the 54-year-old restaurant chain will spend nearly $531,000 renovating La Madeleine’s former Alamo Heights outpost at 4820 Broadway, according to details filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The project is scheduled to start in June and finish Nov. 1.
The six-store Los Tios chain bills itself as the restaurant that introduced frozen margaritas to Houston in 1975. Its menu includes Tex-Mex standards such as fajitas and enchiladas along with a creation it calls “puffy queso.”
Los Tios is owned by the Adair Concepts restaurant group, which operates multiple Houston-area concepts. Last year, the company announced plans to open one of its Adair Kitchen family-dining restaurants in the shuttered Jim’s Restaurant at 4108 Broadway, a few blocks down from the planned Los Tios unit.
Adair Concepts president Nick Adair and his wife Alice also own and operate the boutique Trueheart Hotel in the Hill Country town of Fredericksburg, according to the Express-News. Adair Concepts also has a Los Tios in the works near the hotel.
The Broadway La Madeleine location closed in January after nearly three decades of operation. It was the chain’s first Alamo City store.
