Being a local, I can't really hate on Tito's Tacos. For starters, it's within walking distance of where I live. It's a step up from Taco Bell if you want to get a more "real" taco. But it's true, the shells are tough sometimes, the meat is pretty mysterious, the guac a bit watery.
Who cares, I just want some tacos!!!
3.5 stars.
I have a warm spot in my heart for these tacos. I especially like the salsa, its not super spicy but really good--so good I could drink it. The all beef burrito is really good. They give you a huge amount of chips, too!
Some things to keep in mind:
1. they can be a bit salty at times
2. be prepared to wait in a long line.
3. they are cash only so make sure you have cash(they do have an ATM next to their building)
Disaster, Dichotomy, Depressing, Damn
I am not usually one to follow the crowd, but when it comes to food, a long line is usually a harbinger of good things to come.
Not at Tito's.
Why so many people line up for generic, greasy, and gross tacos that have no flavor astounds me. If a restaurant ever displayed signs of suffering from abusive spouse syndrome this one takes it. People must realize how bad the food is, yet they keep coming back.
Tito's was at the top of my "why haven't I ever eaten there" list and after ordering 3 tacos, a chicken tamale and a root beer I was able to cross it off.
The tacos have absolutely no flavor and talk about mystery meat, it's more of a paste and shares no resemblance no any meat you'd find in a decent taco.
The Salsa is pretty much just pureed tomatoes, I'd rather smother my tacos in V-8 juice.
No. gracias.
Not impressed at all.
The "mush" that they stuff their taco shells with resembles a Jack In The Box taco, which are . They're really greasy, which if the actual taco was good wouldn't matter, but they're not good at all. At $1.70 a taco ($2.20 if you want them to "sprinkle" cheese on the fucking thing) I expect something tasty and worthy of a drive to Culver City. Sadly it doesn't live up to the hipster hype.
This place is awful! I don't understand the hype, lines, or other good reviews.
This stuff would be considered bad camp food. It is slop that is slapped on. I've had the beef burrito, which is shredded beef, not carne asada and the enchiladas, which require a knife to ge through since the middle is just a log of cheese, and nasty cheese. Of course they don't provide knives, or sour cream, or a handful of other staples by the way.
It is cash only and I feel like they should be paying me cash to eat their "food."
Honestly? HONESTLY??
Southern California, a place that has such a plethora of exceptional Mexican and Latin American food and so many people are still eating here? I understand that it's a long time resident of the L.A. area and that deserves the star and the one time visit...but I'll be honest...it barely deserves that. There must be other reasons why people continue to come here....I'll have to look into that.
The salsa is very tomato heavy and seems as though it was produced in a blender. There is no subtle kick, no mixture of tasty vegetables and spices. It tastes like someone put too many tomatoes in a blender, added a couple of other ingredients, and pushed FRAPPE. Have some dedication Tito's Tacos...some attention to detail...rather than mass production.
Ah HA! I just found out the reason for the deserving of a star. Mass production. They are quick. You pay your dollars and your tacos are on their way. But AYE, THERE'S THE RUB - the tacos and burritos that are given to you are relatively bland and there is no succulent salsa to save them! My short visit to Tito's Tacos has become my last visit. For quick tacos....you know where I'm going.
Oh King Taco, where art thou delicious lengua tacos!?
Wow, Tito's appears to be quite the divisive issue!
When I first had Tito's, I hated it. But I think we got off on the wrong foot. I was new to the westside, and one of my (Mexican) friends took me to this place that had the "best" tacos. I was expecting tacos like those from a taco trunk... soft corn tortilla, onions, cilantro, spicy salsa, a selection of meats, and radish & lime on the side. When I saw the menu, I was horrified. Cheddar cheese on a taco?? wtf. and the salsa tasted like blended tomatoes. If that was my only experience with Tito's, I'd have written a scathing review and that would have been the end of it.
But, fortunately, I ate the tacos a few more times over the years because others served them in their homes and I didn't want to be rude. Once I accepted Tito's for what it is, I really liked it. It is not authentic Mexican food, so don't expect authentic Mexican food. I guess I would say to expect a fast food 'version of' Mexican food. I love drenching the tacos in Tito's "guacamole," which is really a watery avocado sauce that has an appealing flavor, and their salsa, which is mild for my tastes but really fresh.
The meat and bean burrito is also really good. The meat is not carne asada. Rather it's chunk/shredded beef, like that in chile colorado. but it's good. And the flour tortilla is soft and delicious.
that's about all I order from Tito's, and I highly recommend both. see if they grow on you. and you won't be settling, you'll just be more open-minded. lol.
ps. I heard (***possibly a rumor***) that Tito's is not owned/operated by Mexicans. So don't expect authentic Mexican food! haha. no, really.
pss. Tito's is not representative of Mexican food in L.A. Enough with the regional chest thumping. Get out and about in L.A. more.
If it was possible to leave ZERO stars or even NEAGTIVE stars...consider it done. There is so much hype about this place and it makes no sense. I came here with 5 other people to give it a try and see what the buzz was all about. I ordered beef tacos and chili con carne.
If you have ever had the fried tacos from Jack In The Box then you've had a SUPERIOR taco than Tito's tacos. They have similar style but the Tito Taco could not be more bland and lame. The chili was equally as disappointing. The only item I had that wasn't HORRIBLE was the salsa.
This place is just trendy. People think it's "cool" to eat here and say they have..,.THAT'S IT!!!
Don't believe me....think I'm exaggerating? PLEASE go try it for yourself and if you know anything/nothing about Mexican food...you'll see.
i really like taco bell. I really love del taco. In fact, del taco is way superior to taco bell because they use thinner shredded cheese. (but taco bell has the better chicken quesadilla)
Tito's is like half way between a fake taco and an 'real' taco. It's like they tried to make the taco bell taco authentic by subbing in a real fried tortilla and 'real' shredded beef. It's like replicating a Guess bag. Ew and why.
Frying a tortilla makes it unnaturally hard and I personally enjoy Taco Bell's flavorfull ground beef and the nice thin taco hardshell.
Not to mention Tito's hard shells makes your jaws work. No bueno.
I can't understand why people rave about their drunken adventures at Taco Bell and then turn around and rail on Tito's Tacos. For five or six bucks you get lots of decent crispy tacos, chips, salsa, and a tummy ache four hours later.
What's not to love?
I really want to like Tito's. I really, really do.
I can also admit that - for the first year I lived here - their little ditty was stuck in my head. Nonstop. I woke up whistling it, then fell asleep mumbling it - much to the chagrin of the parade of strange bedfellows I beguiled in those days. (Ah, my 20's. I miss you so.)
I pretty much told everyone that "the only thing better than a ___fill_in_the_blank___, is two," and enunciated it in the cadence of the famous ditty. This practice summarily ended when I quite stupidly repeated the practice to an LAPD officer as he issued me a citation. I'm sure you can imagine he was none-too-impressed when I said, "The only thing better than a fix-it ticket - is two!" But I digress...
Finally, my friend took me to actually eat at Tito's. Would the reality live up to the hype?
Sadly, I was neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed. No, I was decidedly just whelmed (so much so that I don't care it's not a word.)
I make better tacos using Old El Paso seasoning mixes and a little 'guero' ingenuity. Or so I thought. The tacos I had were bland. Unremarkable. Edible, yeah. Not bad by any means. But worth all the hype? No.
Since everyone has a bad day, I promise to give Tito's another try, but I will no longer be singing their song until they redeem themselves (and never again, incidentally, to a cop issuing me a ticket.)
I love Titos Tacos, and you'll love Titos TOO!
I wouldn't suggest that you go there thinking you'll have the BEST tacos on the planet! It's really all about the cheap authentic experience that gets your foot in the door, while the crunchy tacos (+cheese is a must!) and crazy delicious salsa that keeps you coming back! It's definitely a MUST for anyone living in LA.
Tacos are cheap and yummy.
Enchiladas are cheap and not so yummy.
The salsa is quite delicious. And so is the watery guacamole.
Try the window inside for quicker service.
Park in the tiny lot or along the street.
PS. the 50 cents extra for cheese is so worth it!
Tito's is an establishment unto itself. I remember coming here when I was little and being amazed at the lines of people walking away with boxes upon boxes of their famous taco. Now for those expecting a gourmet or authentic taco, Titos may not be the spot for you. It's greasy, deep fried, cheesy delicious taco, way better than any fast food stand could make. And they give you a boatload of chips and salsa.
You can not deny an L.A. tradition.
I actually kept typing "Tit's Tacos" by mistake to review this place, and was knocked off my feet (at first) that no one had reviewed it. "The Pink Taco" kept turning up instead. Whoops, 831 reviews.
This place is a cultural landmark. It is thronging with people every time I have been. It is a mixed crowd, a lot of Spanish spoken, people from all walks of life. Some families, some teens, some 30-something's.
The salsa is delicious, and so is the rest of the food - chili con carne, tacos, burritos. It's served in a cardboard box with chips thrown on top, which is charming, in its own way. I don't get the negative reviews at all. Go here every chance I get.
The food: Please note that I LOVE Mexican food and finding small, fast and inexpensive places to feed my craving. I've heard a lot about Tito's Taco and every time I drive by (no matter the day or time) there is always a swarm of people out front. I decided to try it out for the first time this past Sunday for dinner. I ordered a burrito and my boyfriend ordered a burrito and taco. I liked that we got chips and salsa with the burritos which were very tasty, but as far as the burrito went I was only satisfied. I didn't find the food extra special or better than my other favorite locations. The salsa was okay... I've had better.
The location: There is a tiny parking lot that always seems full and some street metered parking under the freeway. When driving, be careful for the jaywalkers who also are having a Tito's craving.
The service: I really don't understand their service system. One person is assigned to take your order, prepare the food, collect your money, then give you your order (in that order). I feel that it makes the process so chaotic. Who took my order? Where did she go? Wait... why don't I pay now? You can definitely tell the newbie customers with the look of confusion on their face (yes... that was me on Sunday). I guess I just like the traditional way of ordering... order & pay in one line, then wait for your order number to be called in another line. On the bright side, they had a lot of people working and everyone was busy and made sure the line was moving fast.
Final thoughts: I think I might try this place out another night when I am in the area and craving quick Mexican food. I'll probably try out a different item... maybe the enchiladas? I just wasn't that impressed by my first encounter and obviously don't see what everyone is talking about.
I don't know if I'm really feeling the Tito's Tacos. I think the meat is what kills it... it's kinda nasty and disappointing.
This place gets 1 star for the chips and salsa and 1 star for the delicious cheese that they put on the tacos. That cheese is freaking awesome and tastes like I just grated it from a huge block of cheddar.
Other than that, not much else going for Tito's. I'm not really into waiting in line. I just feel like there are a million other similar Mexican places that have just as good of food but with less hassle and more selection. Once my friend took me to the place Cinco De Mayo right next door and they have a bomb California burrito that I would take over Tito's any day. Also El Tarasco is way better.
Had to kill time due to the Germans designing a crappy VW Beetle and breaking down on a road trip. We had to choose between two taco shops directly next door to each other, so we chose the one with the line.
TITO TACO- Big, hard, thick (that's what she said! BAH-ZING!) shell w/ shredded beef, lettuce and QUESO QUESO QUESO. All around, tacos were perfect minus the beef. The beef is your typical shredded lack of any flavor meat.
They give you a grip of the thick fresh tortilla chips (needs more salt) and a bucket of salsa. The salsa lacks any type of chunks and is bland. It basically adds wetness to anything you may think is dry.
They don't have sour cream at all, not even as an add on.
Guac- very tasty, but blended. No chunks at all.
I would definitely go here again if I ever drive a crappy VW Beetle and break down again in the city of Culver.
What else can I say than it would be my last meal on earth! I LOVE Tito's. The tacos and the salsa are my favorite! The tacos are made with a hard shell and shredded beef and have lettuce and cheese, or you can ask they not add cheese. The secret is to add the chunky salsa to the taco. They also have tostadas, burritos tamales and other traditioal Mexican dishes. But everyone I know who goes there, primarily goes for the Tacos. The chips and salsa are awesome as well. I always order extra chips and salsa to take home with me. I grew up on Tito's. I've been going there since before I could speak! I used to live nearby but now I live in the Valley. But let me tell you that I do make the drive on the 405 to get me some Tito's! Mmmmm.....
Yeah... meh...
All hype and there is a strange sheep mentality when people see long lines. This place is virtually an LA landmark kind of but not really. The food is not so tasty and very mediocre. I've tried so hard to like this place because many people I know and love swear by it. But I must respectfully disagree. No matter how many people adore Tito's... I just can't justify a reason to fight my way thru hordes of hungry people for this food.
Quoting a Canadian national " LA is like Mexico... but a little bit little cleaner...."
There is much better Mexican and fake Mexican food out there. So stop telling people this is the best taco and that they HAVE to come here. Because they don't..
Ooooh long lines... must be good... LIES.
Not Recommended
As far removed from mexican food as Tito's is, I still love the place for its' uniqueness. You can always spot when someone is carrying around the brown box. I can list all the things sooooo inexcusably wrong with this place, but, my predecessors have already eloquently done so for me. I will, however, point out the oft cliched question, where are the pigeons out on the patio???
But, I digress. I lean toward the burritos more so than the tacos. I always get a large cup of the salsa, even if I order only a burrito or 1 taco. That thing must have crack in it. I can honestly say that I can eat that thing all day til I threw up. The quacamole is watered down and I don't believe there's any avocado in it. Its still got a good taste though.
Don't be fooled by the long lines. The little ladies behind the counter turn out goods faster than you can run to the bathroom after eating here. Good times!
If your from LA, and you haven't been to Tito's somethings wrong with you. For the locals, we all know it can get pretty packed and waiting lines go down to the street.
Casual setting, nothing fancy, a basic menu to choose from.
What I order is usually the bean and cheese burrito, couple tacos and a regular burrito. Prices are cheap, and the food is really delicious.
Just thinking about Titos, makes me wish I was back home. I MISS U CALI!
I was really expecting a lot more out of this place.
There is so my hype, thats all it is, just hype. I would not make the drive out here, its not even worth the wait. The crowd outside is ridiculous! The tacos are good, very crunchy, just like the chips. However, nothing really wowed me about them, and the cheese costs extra $0.50, for EACH taco... what a rip off. There are many local taco places you can find the same or better quality w/o having to drive here or wait in a super long line. Probably cheaper too. I'll just stick to Chano's down the street from my house...
You hear a lot of hype about a lot of places, but this is one that does not live up to its reputation. The hard-shelled tacos are good, but so are Taco Bell's. The guacamole is good. The burritos however, are just bad.
Granted, if you're drunk and hungry, as people often are, the greasy food here will definitely satisfy.
There must be crack in the tacos because when I come I want like 10 tacos for myself. Deep fried and deadly but sooo good in my mouth. I love their fresh chips that they give you for whatever it is that you order but the salsa is rather weak. Kinda bland and could be so much better but it's so cheap, what do you want? Each taco is like a buck something and stuffed with cheese.
The downers, well parking sucks and the line is crazy. Each time we come we have to wait like 30 minutes to get to the front of the line. The tamales, burritos, rice and beans are weak. I would not come here for that, I would come just for the tacos.
Let's start with the pros:
*fast service
*crispiest tortilla I've had
*cheap
Now the cons:
*greasy tacos
*bland
*having to wait in line
Overall, this place is so over-hyped. I'm still trying to figure out its success. I think it's the catchy name: Tito's Tacos, and their very crunchy tortilla, and decent sized portions. They give plenty of chips and salsa. And you know L.A. folks...they love to eat and they LOVE big portions and greasy food.
Went here for a burrito a while ago. Gross. I guess that's why they call it Tito's TACOS and not Tito's BURRITOS. I haven't tried their tacos though. But if they're using the same meat as they do for their burritos, I'm sure it will be gross as well.
I've always had a suspicion that they were filling the burritos with dog food.
I've never known a Mexican to say this place is good.
The following could be review No. 829 for Tito's, so in lieu of stepping on the observations of others, I'll keep it short.
This place used to be dyn-o-mite, and worth the ungodly wait in line. Not anymore. The prices have risen steadily in the last ten-or-so years, while the quality and quantity have similarly declined.
The coup de grace responsible for me ditching this place for good was when I noticed about two years ago that the tortilla chips--the biggest, thickest and best chips I had experienced anywhere--were being made with a whiter, blander, undoubtedly cheaper corn meal than the yellow corn meal previously used.
I blame this on the Lynne Davidson regime, which apparently believes it can dick(er) with and bastardize the traditional recipes, and the suckers will never know the difference. The joint has probably lost enough discerning customers so that, for the last few years, the regime has found it necessary to run cable TV commercials for this one-store chain. Back in the day, advertising Tito's would have been a ludicrous waste of money.
To recapture the flavor and quality of the now-defunct Tito's chip, buy a $1.79 bag of Valu Plus tortilla chips at Top Valu market, Inglewood Ave. at Braddock Drive. Then, if you must, take the chips to Tito's and order a side of refritos and a medium salsa rojo, HOLD THE CHIPS!
I just had my second go at Tito's after a 9 year hiatus and now I know why I've never gone back since:
The food sucks.
The burritos are exactly what you'd find on sale for 10/$10 at Ralphs in the frozen food section, except it's fresh and you waited 45 mins to get it. For all of you who love this place and claim to love Mexican food, shame on you.
These things taste okay, but they are not tacos. Jack and the box also has tasty things in a tortilla shell, but those are not tacos either. Nothing about this place is "authentic Mexican."
I think they make the salsa by opening a can of crushed tomatoes, straining the liquid into a Styrofoam cup and handing that cup to you. Its nothing more then red, tomato flavored water.
If you like this place, please don't let me stop you from enjoying what you call a Taco. But if you decide you want to experience the best Mexican food outside of Mexico, i suggest El Taurino. Try it and you might have different feelings about Titos.
I spite Tito's Tacos,
You spite Tito's too.
These are awful tacos.
Find a taco truck near you.
Give lots of chips to hide the burritos,
tacos, enchiladas too...
the only thing that's worse than a Tito's Taco,
is the queue*
I say the best rating that this place deserves,
is two.
* queue (kyoo)
n. A line of waiting people or vehicles. Rhythms with too.
This is an all time LA classic for cheap, fried, simple mexican food. The guacamole is awesome.
Anyone on yelp who claims they like Taco Hell, or Del(do) Taco better has obviously been raised their whole life in a 5x5 corporate franchise box, fed processed meat grinder slosh , and been trained to oink and squeal at commercials starring animated chihuahuas... like the good little piggy consumers that they've been bred to be.
They have good enchiladas and guacamole. Yeah, yeah it's not "real Mexican" food but who cares. Taco Bell is awesome and no one's complaining about that.
The only gripe I have about this place are the lines. They're seriously ridiculous. The only reason I go is because it's kinda close to where I live, they're open pretty late, and it's cheap (surprise, surprise).
During my 4 years in high school, all I would hear from the faculty members was "OMG, YOU'RE GETTING TITO'S!? CAN YOU GET ME SOME TACOS!?", and from the students, "LUCKY! OMG TITO'S TACOS ARE SOOO GOOD!". I never got to try them back in high school though because it was a little out of the way for me.
Finally, I decided to go out of my way after hearing all the rave about it. Again, I didn't go on Yelp, and again, I was punished with this 2-star rated food. I expected some quality, authentic Mexican tacos with some juicy carne asada! Well, I parked the car in the already crowded parking lot, and went and waited in the long line for about 15 minutes. I saw other people with their tacos already and didn't see any carne asada--only shredded beef?! WTF?! ok whatever, I calmed down and decided to take the experience for what it was so I could enjoy it. My turn to order...2 Tacos and a soda please! Got my order within 10 minutes since it was so crowded so this was reasonable enough and they included a large batch of chips and salsa--SCORE!
Salsa sucked balls. No lies here. It was pretty bland and I like my stuff spicy. This wasn't gonna cut it. My tacos--well, let's just say I had to eat it because I would've felt terrible throwing away 2 whole tacos and all those chips even though it only costed me less than $5. The shell of the taco was a little too hard for me, the shredded beef just lacked flavor, and I didn't really like that they only topped it with only lettuce and cheddar cheese. I wanted my onions and cilantro but hey, this wasn't one of those types of places so I REALLY tried to just take it for what it was. But honestly, I sat there thinking, "TACO BELL IS 10x better than this!" and that is TRUE LIFE, my friend.
If you're a hype-whore, go here.
If you like Mexican food that's isn't cooked for Mexican people, then go here.
If you're looking for a fairly cheap meal, go here.
If you're looking for some authentic Mexican food, go elsewhere.
I've think I've done a little too much damage to them already. It wouldn't really matter though, they still have lines going out the door and people all over them. Not me though--noooo thank you.
Sometimes, you just want some super greasy junk food. Tito's Tacos can deliver that. Well, they don't actually deliver like.. pizza deliver. you know what I mean. :P
Is Tito's Tacos a place that serves great tacos? great Mexican food? A lot of people here seem to complain that isn't the case. I don't come to Tito's for any of that, though. I come to Tito's to get my awesome delicious greasy food fix, and for that, it is PERFECT.
hates - the salsa. bleh. but whatever, it's free.
loves - guac - it's quite tasty, worth the extra cash. chips - free! nuff said. oh yeah... the TACOS.
This place is really really good. But not gourmet good so don't get it confused. This is, just a little over a dollar for a greasy, yet tasty taco good.
I am from the SF bay area and my sister in law took my wife and I here. I have been to plenty of real mexican food places. I don't think I would consider this true mexican food but it is soooooo tasty. We just ordered a bunch of tacos, a few drinks and a side of beans and rice. They gave us a butt load of chips and salsa (which were also to die for). Have you napkins ready, everything is greasy and delicious. I could see going to a place like this after a night of heavy drinking. The lines are a bit long but to me it was worth the wait.
I can't attest to the other items on the menu but they looked good as well.
It's not the best place in the world, especially if you have to wait a long ass time for a small order, but its worth a try.
Personally, I like it. Everything tastes fresh. I don't know any other word to describe it, but it just tastes fresh. I ordered a bean and cheese... how to you make a bean and cheese taste fresh? It's beyond me, but they do it.
There is a lack of seating and parking can be rough. Then, they only take cash. How are you going to have commercials, but not afford card transactions. I'm sorry, but these things alone make it not a five star.
I don't know what everybody is talking about it not being authentic Mexican food. Maybe its not, but there are definitely Mexicans here and that satisfies my rule of thumb: don't eat food that doesn't attract its own culture.
Not real mexican tacos. these are the fried tortilla kind. hard shell. My mom makes something similar but ofcourse hers are home made. But taste very similar. The lines for this place are a bit ridiculous. The way they take your order and get served is chaotic. A simple pickup aisle would work wonders for this place instead of standing around were you just payed to get your food.
The Tacos are great. at least to me. The put alot of cheese and the meat is tender. The tomato salsa and chips is ok. the tomato salsa is a bit watered down, not spicy at all. Relatively cheap. I have come to this place several times.
You will see people of all shapes, colours, and sizes coming to get food here. Many of them get them to go.
I'm still on what is turning into a never-ending quest to find a good Mexican place in LA near me. My latest attempt landed me at Tito's Tacos. Some people, including LA natives, swear Tito's is the place to go. And they have this wonderful commercial with a catchy song.
When I got there, the building looked sufficiently "hole-in-the-wall"-ish and there was a line. The set up was like a large taco stand. You went up to a window, placed your order and sat at one of the few picnic style tables outside. Promising... I looked around for the menu which turned out to be a large board behind the counter with only a few listings. Hrm... I see "burrito" and the only options were beans, meat w/ beans and...that's it? What sort of meat? Shredded beef? No carne asada?!?!?! Well, damn...there goes my hopes and dreams.
I ordered a meat burrito but without the beans; I'm a believer in the carne asada + guacamole + cheese + pico de gallo burrito. None of that rice n' beans filler stuff. I want MEAT! I also ordered 2 tacos for my husband, plain with just meat n' cheese. Since they only accept cash at Tito's Tacos, I had to make use of the atm machine on the side of the building. I waited for about 5 minutes before my order was called. I paid ($9 + change) and got my food which was packaged in a box (think In-n-Out) with a cover.
When I got home and opened up the box, I saw a fairly plump burrito, two very sad looking tacos, chips and a cup of salsa.
I didn't try the tacos but the husband said they weren't very good and that he would be fine if he never ate them again. Taco Bell has better.
As for the burrito, it was stuffed full of shredded beef and some cheese but it was bland. I kept throwing more and more Tapatio just to get some flavor. It really was unappetizing and I had to force myself to finish it ("Thou shalt not waste food..."). The amount of meat in it was...heavy, almost bordering on too much. It is a filling burrito and if there was something for my taste buds to latch on to, it would have been okay.
I guess the best part of the meal were the chips which were a little stale and the very mild salsa. I should have dumped the salsa into the burrito...
I don't understand how people think Tito's Tacos is great. What am I missing? This was probably the worst Mexican food I've ever had and I doubt I will return. The fact that I dished out almost $10 for it just adds salt to the wound.
For the first time ever, the Catty Critic gives out a hairball rating. I wish Yelp allowed 0 stars cuz that's what I really want to give Tito's Tacos.
Now to convince the husband that, no, we really should move back to San Diego, if only so I can get GOOD Mexican food again...
