My wife has been raving about Kitos for ages, now I know why. We were lucky to be seated right away, and decided to share a quesadilla and quesabirria (pictures attached). I was sad when I finished my plate, I wanted those tastes to go on forever. I suppose I can come back and eat there again, no? In any case if you're in the area I say GO! NOW! read more

I hadn't been here before, but the reviews convinced me to give it a try. Parking was easy since there was plenty of street parking right in front. I came around 4:30pm, and the restaurant was empty, so we were seated immediately. Service was quick and efficient. I did hear a lot of the loud conversation between the two girls at the register about Instagram and TikTok.... I ordered the super burrito, which was nicely toasted, but overall it was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out either. There was no real spice or bold flavor, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was missing. The horchata was pretty basic. It tasted more like plain milk with cinnamon sprinkled on top rather than the richer, more flavorful horchata you'd expect. I also tried the Baja fish tacos, which were disappointing. The fish wasn't crispy enough and lacked flavor. The tortilla was easily breaking apart. It's like they took the tortilla straight out of the bag because it was cold and didn't look cooked. It came with tortilla chips that were over-fried and borderline burnt, though I wasn't sure if that was intentional. Another reason this ended up being a lower rating for me is the owner's response to feedback. As you can see in other reviews, Tommy tends to get very defensive when customers leave criticism, which I found pretty unprofessional. After I posted my review, he actually messaged me directly (see screenshot), which was honestly off-putting. Yelp is meant to be a space for customers to share their honest experiences, whether positive or negative, and responding in that way doesn't reflect well on the business. I also live in San Francisco, where there's no shortage of authentic and high-quality Mexican food, so I stand by my opinion. Being told my palate isn't "on point" felt dismissive rather than constructive. If anything, I'd just caution others that if you leave feedback here, be prepared for a defensive response from ownership, which may impact your overall experience beyond just the food. Overall, I was surprised given the strong reviews. The meal felt pretty bland across the board, and unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. Also the owner's attitude doesn't deserve any business. After the owners negative and defensive responses, I know I won't come back. read more

First time eating at Kitos, came in for a late lunch. The girl at The counter who took our order was nice and was able to answer all our questions about the menu. the interior was nice, clean, and uniquely decorate. My wife and I both got the Baja fish taco's and split an order of nachos. The fried fish in the tacos was done perfectly, the salsa and avocado goes good with the tacos. The nachos were good as well, the chips are thick and you can tell they are home made. read more

Stopped by after a long hike and this was the perfect meal to have as a reward. I would usually overlook the quesadilla in favor of a burrito or taco but I'm so glad I didn't in this case. The chicken quesadilla was almost the size of a burrito and the tortilla wrap was crispy and cheesy. It included lots of great fillings including avocado and the accompaniments were top notch. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! They also do pre orders on their own website - not on DoorDash. read more

Sweet neighborhood taco shop. We started with the Queso Fundido (aka "Mexican Fondue)--it was delicious and filling with lots of very crispy tortilla chips. I ordered the scallop taco and grilled fish taco. My friends ordered Quesabirria tacos and a breaded fish taco. The aguas frescas we had today are: horchata, watermelon, and mango. You stand in line to order and pay, then they bring out your food--we sat at one of the long, family style tables. It was lively but spacious. read more

Kito's tacos are solid! I had pretty much given up on Mexican food in the Bay Area because most places that are supposedly good with high ratings on review sites have left me wondering if I'm being gaslit. I have been to Kito's twice now and both times the tacos were delicious! I highly recommend the "Tacos Campechanos." Service is also friendly, but not cloying. read more

Maybe a bad day? Sorry, high hopes with good reviews. Maybe a bad day? Tacos were not very good. Only 1 small corn tortilla, which would be a problem with juicy tacos, but the meat was so rubbery n dry, not a problem. The salsas were good. I love taco trucks, kinds missed the spot when you dont get a few chips or grilled pepper n onions. Ph yeah, Im not sure if it was a dish or a fish monger visiting, but the smell of fish at one time was enough to wrap up and leave. Maybe other days are better, but I likelyy wont find out. read more

Kitos Taco Shop - Sad tacos - Tacos Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Perfect way to end a long hike. My friends and I hiked near Larkspur and conveniently stumbled upon Kito's Taco Shop on our drive back home. The food was very tasty, we ordered the fish tacos and a quesadilla, a hibiscus refresher, and a watermelon refresher. The staff was very attentive and the food came out quickly. I think it took a total of 25 minutes or so from entering the shop to getting the food on our table. I also appreciated the decoration and shop floor plan as a whole. It feels very authentic, mom and pop, and homey. It looks small on the inside, but it actually seats quite a few people. Also the noise level was perfect. Would love to come back here again! read more

My group of 4 friends enjoy regular dinners here, as there is something for everyone and the food is consistently high quality and flavorful. My vegetarian friend likes to get the veggie taco with sides of beans and elote. My friend with a dairy sensitivity likes to get the burrito without cheese. I have a nut allergy and the staff are accommodating of it - today I got the salmon fish taco plate and loved it! The southwest salad with shrimp that my other friend got looked tasty and I will try it next time. Helpful staff and casual ambiance. read more

Stopped by last weekend with the family and LOVED it. I've been wanting to try Kitos for a while, and I'm glad we finally had a chance to go. It's a cozy, lively and bright little shop that has good and friendly service and delicious eats. We came during prime lunch time on a Sunday, so naturally, it was busy, but it only took us a few minutes to find a table. It was pretty crowded since it's a relatively small shop. The food took a little longer than expected, but giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was really busy. Plus I'm a true believer that GOOD FOOD TAKES TIME. The way my quesadilla was crafted was a work of art. It was so evenly distributed (I think we have all encountered the burrito that is rice and beans for the first 10 bites before you even get a piece of meat) and every bite was loaded with flavor. I think the only thing that could've made it better was the salsa. The salsas have a lot of great flavor, but has zero kick. My guess is they cater to the county's taste, but if the salsa were actually spicy, this would be a 6 star rating. read more

First time eating here today. Friendly, warm and welcoming young staff in a well designed little space. The exterior caught my eye while in traffic. Fish tacos were great. My family has owned a fish market in Dana Point for over 40 years (Jon's Fish Market), so I am fluent in what makes a tasty fish taco. Kitos does not disappoint. Some have made mention of the pricing ($18.95 for my tacos), but the quality is there (amazing, well seasoned homemade chips and tortillas), and this is Marin, so...‍ I've been blessed enough to spend a few months in Paris the last couple years. My Dad asked me how I afford the restaurants, to which I responded, "Dad, I live in Marin. I'm saving $ on meals in Paris!" Give Kitos a try. You'll dig it. read more

The place was so cute but we had to get takeout and the Baja fish tacos were goooood! Thick filets of fish gently fried with a dash of spice and finely shredded slaw - the chips with a dash of chili - this dish was outstanding. The guacamole is handmade and delicious. We also got the tater tot loader fries but ate those too fast to photograph. Great little hidden spot worth the stop read more

Kitos Taco Shop - Baja fish tacos to-go - Tacos Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Kitos is a colorful, cozy taco shop that's taken over the teeny tiny original Burmatown space in Corte Madera. This is a lunch to early dinner (open all day, but closes at 7 pm weekdays, 8 pm Friday & Saturday) spot run by a Marin local, who is originally from So Cal and whose Grama Kito, is the namesake. Favorites include Kito's chicken and carne asada quesadillas, full of homemade salsa and the charred protein of your choice, and guacamole. Their quesadilla is sizable and griddled. Other tables put in orders for their grilled chicken salad. Street tacos here are tiny but good, and especially well priced on taco Tuesdays: carne asada, chicken and vegetarian tacos, that you can mix and match. It's hard to make a meal of the tacos, they are more of a snack. The veggie taco features black refried beans & their chips & their salsas taste homemade. read more

My first experience here was on a Taco Tuesday - 3 tacos for $11.50, but only limited to chicken, asada, carnitas, and veggie (full price for shrimp or fish). The woman who took my phone order said you could mix and match any of them, so I tried one of each meat. The first thing I noticed was that there was only 1 tortilla per taco. While I would normally prefer a single, this was the only instance where I wished there were 2 because they were perfectly thin and there was enough filling to split. This was also the only instance in which I preferred the chicken taco over the other meats (I'm normally a carnitas kind of gal) - it was moist and better seasoned than the beef and pork. Overall, I called my first time a win and enough to bring me back again. My second time had the same types of filling, with the majority of them being chicken tacos - all of them were a little drier and saltier this time around. I was disappointed to see that I wasn't charged the promo price for all of them. This was the primary reason I come on Tuesdays. The employee should have disclosed that mixing and matching would change the cost this time around. It didn't burn my wallet, but it was the principle and I was expecting it to be similar to my first experience. If the employee got it wrong that first time, then I understand, but for now, round 2 was just a bunch of sad tacos. read more

Just took my wife and grandchildren here. I have been here in the past, and the food was overpriced, yet palatable. Last time I went here, however, it was not. Don't get me wrong, it was still GROSSLY overpriced, but the food was just awful. Tasted like everything was cooked in week old oil. To top it off, I'm pretty sure the owner was looking at one of my younger (16!!!) grandkids. Absolute joke of an establishment. The owner is a FOOL. I have never been driven to use this website before, but after this experience I was compelled to. AVOID! read more

This is a small restaurant that has a fun ambience. We ordered at the counter and had the food served to us. We tried the elote, loaded nacho tots, chicken quesadilla, fish tacos, and shrimp taco.

Good food. Got the carna asada street tacos and a single salmon taco. Food was good but a little pricey

When I tell you that Marin County is no hot-bed of late night eateries believe me. A recent visit to Kito's Taco Shop confirmed that we're barely even a purveyor of eateries during normal dining hours. Walking into Kito's just past 7 p.m. I learned that they close at 7 p.m.; I could place an order but only if I'd place it as a to-go order. Two "Taco Tuesday" orders ($11.50 apiece) were placed, each consisting of 3 small "street tacos" with a choice of protein. 2 carne asada street tacos and 1 al pastor later - consumed from the comforts of my car's front seat - I was happily sated, remarking that I'd liked not just the tacos but also the red and green salsas provided as accompaniments. The street tacos are very small (and only one tortilla apiece) but also very filled with flavors; both of us consumers were already talking about a pre-7p.m. return visit as we boxed up our garbage. As might be expected from a Lakspur taco shop, Kito's is neither inexpensive nor does it feel like one of the more authentic taco shops to be found in, say, parts of San Rafael. This is an observation rather than a dig. Kito's feels perfect for the neighborhood in which they exist and their colorful menu and atmosphere has left me certain that I'll be returning on another evening, well before their 7 p.m. closing time. read more

This is not a taco shop. Too much hype on this place and doesn't live up to it. Placed a To Go order on taco Tuesday and wasn't impressed. Steak and chicken tacos super dried. I should have known when I called and spoke to Blondie that was something off about this place. Total lack customer service. I've been too spoiled by Taqueria Molcajetes in Santa Rosa, approved by Guy F. This is what sucks about living in Marin. Can't find any decent tacos. read more

Let me get one thing out of the way; it ain't cheap. If you choose where you eat based on "perceived" value, you may have sticker shock. And I'm definitely not taking my sons here. But the "actual" value (sorry, I got all marketing-ish there) is excellent because the food is fantastic. Clearly made in-house with excellent ingredients. I got the Al Pastor tacos and it was some of the best Al Pastor I've had; juicy, tender, a slight bite and subtle pineapple. My wife got the veggie taco and loved it. The salsas that come with the tacos are excellent too (the red was my favorite but the green is great too). We were still hungry, so got the chips and salsa. The chips were clearly made in-house, and they had coated them with something. That's really vague I know, sorry; my marketing-speak escaped me. But the chips and Pico de Gallo were both amazing. Lastly, I loved the watermelon agua fresca; clearly made in-house, and not too sweet. We already know what we're getting next time... read more

Food was edible, that's about it. In hindsight, shoulda done the family-owned place. Prices were outrageously expensive (and, that is considering that this was in Marin). Flavors of salsa and guacamole were off - I am lactose intolerant, and it was clear that the guac was mostly SOUR CREAM, which the person who took my order neglected to mention. Soup was edible, but tasted funny - the flavors and spicing simply didn't work. Burrito had mashed potatoes (!) instead of rice, and no beans in sight. Just plain bizarre. So, if you're looking for traditional (or non-traditional) comida mexicana, give Kito's a wide berth, i.e. pass on it, except for the watermelon agua fresca. read more

Fantastic! Excellent meat (I had Carne Asada, Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos), fresh ingredients, skillfully prepared, courteously served, and heck yeah I will be back.

A quick stop for dinner for some food at Kitos. I took advantage of the taco Tuesday deal. Three tacos for $11.50 and $4 beer! I ordered first and then grabbed a seat with my number. You can also order takeout and wait for your name to be called. Food came out quick, the decor is so adorable, and tables are always open inside or outside. I grabbed a bite from my partner's burrito and it was so good. I appreciated the burrito crust from being grilled for an added texture. Pro tip: ask for the spicy sauce if you want a little more heat. They are also open at lunch. read more
