The pros: - Great ambiance. Well decorated with dim lighting and beautiful color scheme. Warm and inviting on a freezing winter night. - Friendly servers. - Decent food. The cons: - I think it's a bit disingenuous to ask if we want chips and salsa to "munch on while you look at the menus" without mentioning that chips and salsa cost $4, because how could we know that without having had a chance to look at the menus first. Especially when chips and salsa are free at a lot of Mexican places. - My girlfriend and I both got the Cody's Sugar Shack Birria Quesatacos (3 tacos + rice and beans). I thought $20 was a bit steep for the presentation, portion size, and overall flavor. - not related to us since we dined in, but buyer beware: they charge 5% service fee and automatic 20% gratuity to all take out orders. read more

It must be a popular restaurant in that area cuz more and more local people was coming and greeting them in a snowstorm night. I love that Sombrero burger wrap that Josh recommended. The crispy cheese inside made the wrap so impressive. And Josh is a very nice guy. Will definitely back when we go to ski next time. read more

This place has a charming vibe, and the Classic Margarita was sooo good. We ordered the White Bean Tacos off the specials menu and they were delicious. Very fresh and a good combination of flavors. Service was quick and friendly, though on a Tuesday it wasn't busy. We're only in this area about once a year, and it's always worth a visit. read more

This place is definitely off the beat and path. It's randomly tucked in a residential area, so easy to miss. Inside is brightly colored honoring Mexican culture and traditions. The staff is extremely kindand welcoming. They are very knowledgeable on the menu. We were playing silly games with my son and the joined in. They had a bunch of unique flavors for their margaritas that had fruit on the straw. They ha unique tacos like brisket or cheese curds. They had had Mexican flowers on it that were dang right delicious. read more

I just picked up an order for three burritos. $104.00. Really? Oh my. Bill a $ 4.00 non cash fee , $3.75 surcharge. And a $16.00 automatic tip! Really !!!!! I left a tip on top of that not realizing This was all for a to go order. $70.00 food bill came to $114.00. When I questioned it I was given some ridiculous reason like " it's because people Get to go orders and deplete our inventory. What?????? Won't be going back !!!!! Sad because the food was good. I was given a refund of $20.00 after I questioned it and left the restaurant. The manager came out to my car. Melissa C. Kindly give me an email address I might send you a message to. read more

Walk in and you feel like you belong. We went late afternoon for an early dinner on a Friday around 4:45. We were asked if we had a reservation even though there was one couple in the place. When we said no, there was a pause. They then gave us a table near the front. Mind you it was a very nice table. There were a few people at the bar and as time went by people did start to come in. Some with reservations but most with none. Everyone was seated so I can only imagine that the place fills up quickly for dinner. And there is a reason for that. Josh our server couldn't have been more in tune with us and everyone else he encountered. His energy and recommendations were at mind reading levels. He was available for water and drink refills without being asked and left us alone to enjoy our meal but engaged enough to have some fun light banter. Onto the drinks. The specialty margaritas are among the best we have ever had. We had bourbon, and tequila libations that were both nuanced in their flavors without sacrificing the taste of the primary liquor. Refreshing and with a nice "punch". Then came the food. First some chips, green and red salsa for the table. Perfect crunch to the fried triangles and salsas so fresh and flavorful. The entrees are plentiful. Nachos with chicken can feed a family. The ground beef soft tacos are perfectly on point for getting the staple of a taco restaurant. The birria tacos were unctuous and the jus silky. The haddock tacos were perfectly cooked without a hint of "fishiness". Didn't have room for dessert but ordered anyway. Homemade churros with chocolate dipping sauce and a tres leches apple cinnamon with whipped cream are the stuff of legends. This is a must stop if you are in the area. Just make a reservation. read more

Had a wonderful dinner! Surprisingly, the best place ive found to eat in the Catskills! Finally I can order food that isn't fried! Great menu! Delicious grilled shrimp tacos (only comment is grilled shrimp would have been even better charred..but great quality.) Love the rice & beans & fresh guacamole. Wraps were filling & Margaritas as pretty as delicious! Great wine choices...I tried something different, recommended by waitress & loved it! Generous portions. Wonderful, friendly, helpful, genuine, people work here. Surprisingly cool vibe in decorative surroundings creates a welcoming atmosphere. Love the light fixtures above the bar! I really enjoyed this place & can't wait to return. read more

The manager is nasty and the service awful. The place was empty and they made us sit by the bar when it was freezing out because we had no reservation. Too many rules and bad vibe. Food not great and a lot of rules/charges. Won't be returning ever read more

Let me first start by saying it was the most incredible place ! From the moment I walked in with my 5 friends we were welcomed. We came from a hike and were hungry and Mexican sounded perfect. Our server who might have been an.owner was attentive and gave us the specials and helped lead us in the right direction on how to order . He gave us a few minutes and then took our drink order. The drinks were delicious and homemade. The red sangria had a hint of cinnamon and some fruit in it . Outrageous! My friends ordered various maritias . Their margaritas were different flavored and presented in the most beautiful way. From sugared cranberries and sugared pineapples to beautiful garnish each flavor being delicious. I am not much of a Drinker but that sangria hit the spot and thoughout the dinner wound up drinking a total of 3!. Now to the meal. My friend ordered the sweet potato and corn bisque which she said was perfect. I had the chicken wings. They were sprinkled with conjito cheese and served with blue cheese perfection. Now the main course. They had a bunch of delcious options for tacos. From Brussels sprouts, duck , pork, chicken.etc. We wanted all of them and wanted to eat the whole menu! So we did a lot of sharing including a burrito bowl and pork burrito and got each of the tacos mentioned. Each taco was served with rice and beans or a salad. We all tried the rice and beans because we were all hungry and happy to try them. Everything was beyond delcious. Our attentive server hooked us up with many hot sauces and then a homemade bluebery and ghost pepper sauce. Everything we ate and experianced in this cozy place was exactly what we wanted and left so happy! Thank you we can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely obsessed, fresh delicious food. I currently live in LA and I said that it was better than any meal I've had since being there. Staff were so nice and the restaurant had a nice vibe to it. Cozy and authentic. We got the maple sirarcha chicken tacos and the orange tres leches and wow. Some of the best mexican food i've ever had. Almost went again the next day just cause it was so good.

Surprised to hear how many people 'stumble across' this place as there's not much of anything in the area. It almost feels like you're Cicely Alaska form Northern Exposure fame. I half expected to see a moose walking down the street. That said, the vibe is great. I wasn't expecting it to be so large inside either. The food was excellent. I had the Cody's Sugar Shack Birria Quesataco and my wife had the Spiced Ground Beef Tacos. We also had the Guac (chips tasted like they had been sitting out a while) and a classic margarita. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

Went to this little gem while visiting my daughter in the Catskills, she and her partner recommended it and I can see why. Sitting on the main drag of one of the countless tiny hamlets in the area, this is a great find. It is a small restaurant but nicely festooned with Mexican decorative objects including a striking version of La Catrina Calavera, a. very famous Day of the Dead caricature developed by the great Mexican printmaker José Posada. But I digress. Great food and very attentive service, house made tortilla chips and salsa, yummy tacos, and much better quality rice and beans than the usual throwaway version. Highly recommend! read more

Thankful to have a good, fun Mexican restaurant nearby. Tito serves noticeably fresh, clean food that is well prepared with a nice menu and decent margaritas. I'd give them 4 stars on food alone. Service was off however with our party of 6 getting our entrees over an hour after we were seated. Place didn't appear overly busy either. Owner apologized and was gracious. read more

Patrons beware. I ordered takeout that amounted to $92.00 without taxes but came out to 137.00 because of at least $30 in surcharges. 5% to go surcharge (4.89), another phantom 4.89 surcharge lower down in the bill, and 20.54 for gratuity. When I called them out on this they said that's what the fees are. Really? To top it off, they have a suggested tip totals on the bottom of the receipt. Unfortunately, I can't support Tito Bandito's with these shady billing practices. read more

Delicious food, excellent drinks and great vibe. Hidden little gem in the Catskills!

A really nice little place with a lot of character! The food was awesome and the waiter was very nice! I highly recommend this restaurant!

From the ambiance, to the staff and the food everything was top notch. We started with 4 different types of margaritas. Then chips, salsa (they give you two kinds) and an overflowing guac bowl that was delicious. Two of our party had the special blackened snapper tacos that they said were fresh and delicious. My husband had the pulled pork tacos and I had the Cody's Sugar shack brisket tacos. Excellent! The waitress was very friendly and answered a few of our questions before we left We will be back. read more

Stumbled upon this place after a long day of skiing and the guac and chips HIT THE SPOT. It was a really big portion and was super fresh and tasty! Chips were crispy and perfectly salted. Definitely also get the churros with the chocolate sauce because the churros are super light while the chocolate is dense and rich! A perfect combo. The birria tacos were all right, the meat inside was kind of tough and it was not super cheesy. The consome was pretty good though! read more

What a hidden Tito Bandidos is, we were staying in Fleischman's at an Airbnb and found this on Yelp and to be honest the town is quite rundown, but this place was amazing culinary experience , I had a blackberry bourbon margarita and the Aji tuna, fish tacos and everything was really really good. The staff was awesome with recommendations, my only regret is it two hours away or else I would go there at least once a week. read more

I was excited at the potential of this restaurant but was unfortunately underwhelmed by the food. I tried the duck tacos and I could have made them better myself. There was no flavor and they fell apart the instant I picked them up (soft shell was cracked in the center and the small amount of food inside came tumbling to the plate). And it was just two small tacos with no sides for $11. Those are city prices for food that is just not worth it. The classic guacamole was fine, but I think it left me and my family with sour stomachs the next day, I'll spare the details. My son got a quesadilla from the kids menu and while he enjoyed it, I was disappointed at how expensive the meal was for the amount of food we received. The quesadilla was tiny and the rice and beans that came with it was also barely anything and it cost $10 - my son was still hungry when we got home so I had to make him more food. The blood orange margarita was good but the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was too boozy. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the ambiance was nice, but we won't be returning unless the food drastically changes. read more

Great place to meet up for drinks and appetizers. The vibe is great! Unfortunately the food was lackluster and if your looking for rice and beans it's extra. Chips should be complementary. It was a solid 3 but I know I will be back as there is not many local places for dinner to dine in this area. Want to keep it real . read more

Traveling from PA to ski at Bellayre on our annual Catskills trip. Stopped in Tito's for drinks on Thursday, and was impressed enough by the Atmosphere & the drinks to get a reservation for Valentine's Day. Arrived and were immediately seated in the back area near the busy kitchen. Very impressed w the service. I am not a big Mexican food lover, but my wife is an aficionado so we end up eating it more than I like, all over the country. What can I say? We tried both the Classic Guacamole and the Apple Tequila Guac. Both were creamy and light, flavorful And fresh; I'll say the best I"ve ever have had in umpteen decades on this earth. Not a big fan of the Tequila Apple version but my wife loved it. I also opted for the Duck Tacos and found them savory and tasty, if not a bit on the small side, but I was already full on guac and chips, so that was no big deal. My wife had the chicken Enchiladas and enjoyed the mild heat and smokiness of the sauce and the overall experience. I batted cleanup on her large portion, and found the sauce to equal to my 2nd Gen Italian Mom's all day simmered "Sunday Gravy" w meat (but with a Mexican Flair of) All in all, we had a tremendous experience and spent this evening looking at returning in a few weeks to ski and eat here again, it was that much fun! read more

We were visiting from out of town and found this place and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a quirky vibe. Our margaritas were delicious, shoutout to Kurtis. We had the carne asada and shrimp tacos. Both were very good, but wish it was a bigger portion or included one more taco. Guac was fresh and chips also came with two delicious salsas. I believe they are new and it definitely looks like they put a lot of work into the place. Their website also says they will expand menu which would be great- my husband was really craving fajitas but they didn't have them. Service was friendly. Great find near Belleayre. read more
