Family recipes passed down, cooked with fire and served with heart.

Tacos y Parrilladas Los Politos started as a simple dream — to bring the bold, smoky flavors of traditional Mexican grilling to the neighborhoods of Houston. Every taco, every cut of meat, every salsa is made the way it's always been done: from scratch, with care, and without shortcuts.

We source locally when we can and import the spices and chiles that make our recipes unmistakably authentic. The result is food that tastes like it was made for family — because that's exactly who we're cooking for.
