This place has it all. American, Mexican, a batshit crazy wait staff that you can't help but love. Basically picture Mexican Perkins. A true staple to the uptown living experience.

Little T's has been the place to go after bar close for big plates of enchiladas , burritos , and tacos for as long as we can remember. Read more

HUUUGE HAPPY HOUR DEALS!!! For food, the #6 and the #12. If you're hungry enough to "eat a horse", then get the fried Chimichanga ; make sure you get it Enchilada Style . Burgers here are to die for!!!

Dyl Maxberry

They are nothing fancy but for some reason their taco dinner rules. I love the way the beef is seasoned.

Alexia D.

Yum. Just yum. Period. Yum. One of the best mexican restaurants around, hands down. And now they have margaritas too! :)

Michael Villar

I love this place!!! So happy it is open again! So many amazing memories!

Laura Sutherland

The chocolate lava cake is a perfect end to a great meal of crunchy tacos and margaritas . At least according to my 8 year old.

Michael Malver

In my opinion, a half order of chips and cheese is just right for two people, if you also plan to get dinner .

Valerie Rayne

Great food awesome staff ! :) get a raspberry margarita .... And then a little tijuana margarita for a good time ;p

heidi wachter

Their crispy tacos and free sangria sample make me want to dance .

Robert Wohlfeil

They'll ask you, "Fried or Dry Chips ?" The dried are already fried, and the fried are those same chips re-dunked in the fryer and loaded with oil. Both are great, but you make the decision. :)

I've been a regular here for over 20 years. In. That time, I've varied as to prefering the tex-mex to the American, and back, but the service has never wavered; it's fantastic.
