Adair Concepts Set to Launch Its First Locations Beyond Houston

Adair Concepts Expands Beyond Houston: New Ventures in Fredericksburg and San Antonio

In an exciting development for food lovers in Texas, Adair Concepts, the beloved family-owned restaurant group known for its neighborhood-focused vibe, is set to expand its culinary footprint. The group will kick off this expansion with the 2024 opening of its signature restaurant, Los Tios, in Fredericksburg. Following that, San Antonio will welcome both Adair Kitchen and another Los Tios in early 2025. This marks a significant move for the Houston-based company, as they venture out of their familiar Bayou City.

A New Chapter in Fredericksburg

As the first Los Tios to open in Fredericksburg, this new location will be the seventh for the brand, which has a storied Tex-Mex heritage, known for its mouth-watering puffy queso and the innovation of the frozen margarita. Located at 203 E. San Antonio Street, in the city’s vibrant historic district, the restaurant will inhabit a spacious 5,000-square-foot building that was formerly home to August E’s Restaurant. The Adair family has deep ties to Fredericksburg, as Nick Adair and his wife, Alice, are also the owners of the popular Trueheart Hotel—a charming 13-room boutique inn steeped in Southern hospitality.

“We already have strong connections in Fredericksburg, which greatly influenced our decision to open a location here,” commented Nick Adair, President of Adair Concepts. “We are eager to provide families and friends with exceptional Tex-Mex cuisine in a setting that contributes to the community’s unique charm.” This strategic move not only aligns with the group’s dedication to community enrichment, but also taps into Fredericksburg’s thriving tourism and local dining culture.

Embracing San Antonio's Culinary Scene

The momentum doesn’t stop in Fredericksburg. The historic city of San Antonio is next on Adair Concepts’ radar. With its rich food culture and vibrant community spirit, San Antonio presents an ideal backdrop for the group’s comfortable and family-friendly dining experience. Nick Adair expressed his excitement about the new venture, stating, “We have tremendous affection for San Antonio and can’t wait to be part of a community so rich in history and passionate about food.”

In early 2025, Adair Kitchen will establish its presence in San Antonio, taking over the former Jim’s Restaurant located at 4108 Broadway. This new eatery will offer an all-day dining experience, serving everything from breakfast staples like farm-fresh egg dishes and breakfast tacos to hearty dinners featuring steak frites and green chile chicken enchiladas. The 4,000-square-foot space, currently undergoing extensive renovations, is strategically placed just north of downtown, making it easily accessible for locals and visitors alike.

What’s more, San Antonio will soon see another Los Tios location, which is slated to launch in the spring of 2025. This restaurant will be just steps away from Adair Kitchen, situated in a 5,500-square-foot space that formerly housed La Madeleine. This dual opening demonstrates Adair Concepts’ commitment to creating a lively dining hub that captures the hearts of its community.

Looking Ahead: More Than Just Food

Adair Concepts is not merely expanding geographically; they’re expanding their mission to bring quality dining experiences to new families and communities. Their philosophy emphasizes loyalty, family, and familiarity, making them a perfect fit for the tight-knit communities they’re entering. Each restaurant will be built on the classic staples that have made their original locations in Houston so beloved, ensuring that the ethos of Adair Concepts remains intact even as they venture into new territory.

In conclusion, the expansion of Adair Concepts into Fredericksburg and San Antonio is a testament to their success in Houston and a great opportunity for these Texas towns to welcome a signature dining experience. With a focus on quality ingredients, family-oriented environments, and a longstanding commitment to community, Adair Concepts is poised to make a significant mark in their new locations. Tex-Mex lovers and food enthusiasts alike will undoubtedly have something to look forward to as this family-owned restaurant group embarks on its exciting new journey.
