I wish it were more food because I could have eaten 6-9 of these things. Great flavor. The ladies working were incredibly nice and the place was clean.

I'll definitely be eating here again. Their tacos are hard to beat.

I was super excited to try this place after reading reviews and hearing from a friend. It looks…read morelike a very legit Mexican spot. They have all the meats that I've heard of. I tried the adobada, which I love at other places. It was just good here. It was reddish and had sauce all over it. Not what I was used to with adobada. And not close to amazing. Maybe their carne asada is better. A friend got that plate, and it looked good. One friend got enchiladas. It was just ok. Like 2 stars. And another friend (I forgot what she ordered) said her food wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Place was small but could still fit a decent amount of people. And the service was friendly and patient. I'd try it again. Something must be amazing there.

I didn't try the hot sauce. Most meals are just the burritos or tacos. You have to order the rice and beans separate. I like this because I would rather eat several of those yummy tacos. They started out as a food truck. This was our first time to have this and we are hooked. We were told they will have a second location in Webb city mo. They have a drive thru. They have a food challenge. 6 pound burrito in 10 min. So far no one had been able to finish it. Their menu is small but I feel you should keep it small and focus on quality and that's what they are doing. They were really busy but we had excellent service. People will complain about their small menu, but you can go else where. You won't find meat this delicious! Love small family owned businesses!! Great job!

Ambience is on point - you can tell they put a lot of work into the building as far as remodel and keep things very clean. Food and drink - FANTASTIC. They are very quick and food is consistent and always warm. It's also a plus their margaritas are very good! Sometimes I feel like restaurants have good drinks or good food, but with Mi Torito you get both in one stop!

Let me caveat this review with - we were in town from LA (where authentic Mexican spots are…read moreeverywhere) visiting family, and I'm married to a Mexican. I specifically wanted Tex-Mex Mexican food, and this place hit the spot. It's not authentic Mexican food lol, but it's delicious! The prices were so good for the portions and quality. My toddler loved the robot that brought some of the food out. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh. The queso on everything was obvi my fav part (and is the most non-Mexican part of it all). The margarita tower was insane! It was around $32 and we got the mango one. I lost count of how many it poured, and we had 5 adults drinking on it, yet didn't finish it. We got at least 9 full cups out of it and there were 2-3 left when we left. If you're in the mood for some good Tex-Mex that's super cheap with big portions, this is your spot.

A Hawaiian themed restaurant in downtown Joplin…read more I wasn't sure what to expect, but the reviews were good, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. I was feeling like poke and jumped at the woman behind the counter's suggestion for a couple of tacos and a side of macaroni salad. It doesn't look like much, but it was filling. It was also really good. A small note -the restaurant's layout is a little tight and it takes a little bit to bust out a line, but the staff is really nice and happy to help with any questions you have.

Its located in an old burger chain, I think a former Burger King not that this matters. Its completely rebuild and looks nothing like a burger joint anymore. We have been in several times, (actually I've written a Yelp before but it has disappeared). And each time we have been impressed. There are so many Mexican restaurants in Joplin of very style and price point. Some offer really good interiors like its a theme part or movie set. Some are as simple as can be with authentic menu's and no effort to be fancy or touristy. Speedy is somewhere in-between. Some of the menu is typical of many American-Mex chains only better prepared. Then again some menu items are normally only found at authentic Tex-Mex, roadside and Southwestern style Mexican based in real family recipes and flavors you'd find south of the boarder. There is a small bar, service is friendly and prompt and the bright decor is refreshing.
