3 stars only because I've been coming here for over 20 years. The tacos with cheese, beef/cheese burrito, and 1 large salsa have always been my go to order. The tacos remain the best beef hard shell and the salsa is the best in the world. However, it is an absolute tragedy and should be illegal that it's $6.15 for one taco with cheese and $14.70 for a beef cheese burrito. It is also a tragedy that the burrito is kids size that my 2 year old can eat on their own. These used to be my favorite and huge, but I can no longer order them. This place used to be a family favorite but I can no longer order extras like we used to. They closed off the inside which was convenient to order, I think just to make the outside look busy. I'm not a fan of these new changes to my favorite taco place in LA.
Ahhh what to say here?? The service is relatively fast and they have a great system for order pick up. The prices are almost decent overall but that is where the good ends. They have a small parking lot they share with another restaurant that is very crowded and not enough, but there is some street parking along the way. The food is not very good, lettuce and cheese on tacos and 'guacamole' out of a bag. The burritos are on the smaller side and the tacos lack flavor. Overall the food is just ok, it's a taco stand built on nostalgia. Unfortunately that's all they have left. There is no love in this food!
consistent Tito classic food they did add tamales and quesadillas to their menu now too get your crunchy tacos with smooth guacamole and fresh salsa
Heard so many things about this restaurant. It's a staple on the west side of LA. Decided to stop by on Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo. I could not believe how expensive this place was. The service was fast and friendly. Unfortunately, for $5 I got half-filled shells. The quesadilla was super thin. Where's the cheese? Pretty disappointed. Cool to visit. But worthwhile? Not the best.
Lack customer service. We placed and received our order before closing. No spoons for rice and beans. They forgot the horchata. We were seated outside and knocked on window to get the missed horchata, which we were charged for. Staff inside ignored us and finally opened the window, just to replace with soda. Crazy! This place needs to recognize their obligation to customers seated outside should not stop when windows are shut and closed sign is posted.
It's been awhile since I updated my review even though I have eaten there several times since my last review. Inflation has seemed to affected many businesses including Tito's Tacos. I remember when the taxis were larger, more lettuce and cheese. Over the years I noticed there are less ingredients in Tacos. I still like the crunch of the tacos and the Chips. The salsa seems more liquidity versus the early days. I'm still a fan of Tito's and hope the impact of Shrinkflation disappears soon.i plan to stop in and enjoy some tacos on my next trip. This review is primarily to post an updated menu with prices.
Came on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was fine, that's good. Short line, ordered a burrito and the wife some tacos. . Did not enjoy the burrito. Wasn't tasty, and basically all beans. The tacos were OK , but cheese isn't melted. Chips and salsa were fine. We would not return. Security guard is outside , calling orders. He was friendly. Plenty of space to eat inside. Restrooms were clean. Most people were getting food to go. I had stomach problems later in the evening , which is rare to me. Tons of gas, lol. Anyways, would not return. Would not recommend. Maybe it was good decades ago? Sorry. Toss up on rating , basically 3 stars is OK. But I don't think it's OK. Unfortunately 2.
Tito's is an LA must! I was lucky to have a very short line which is highly unusual. The tacos are still as good as I remember. The salsa is made fresh and the taste is perfect. Than you Tito's!
It's been a while since I've been to the iconic Tito's Tacos. I never thought it was that good, or why so many people rave about it. They always seem to have a steady stream of customers so maybe I'm the odd man out regarding Tito's tastiness. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd give it another chance. First off, they have plenty of free parking, so that's a big plus. The woman who took our order was really nice. You place your order and then stand back on the sidewalk and wait for them to shout your number. It works. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We wanted to sit indoors, but the fan was so loud we couldn't even hear each other. There are picnic benches in both the front and the back. I had a bean and cheese burrito. $8.45, and my friend had a meat, bean, and cheese burrito. $11.60. My friend described the burrito perfectly. She said it was "gooey." Mine was too. It's gooey refried beans and cheese with an odd texture. The tortilla that wrapped it was excellent. Soft and chewy, so it was a combination of gooey and chewy! You get a few chips and salsa to go with it, and they give you just enough. The salsa was excellent. I wish it were a tad bit hotter, but the flavor was great! Lots of garlic. I'm happy they have a thriving business. I won't be back, but I wish them the best
Many, many years ago, I use to work in WLA and would drop by TT to pick up my dinner. My go-to were two tacos with cheese and a bean and cheese burrito (I would use some of the bean and cheese from the burrito for the chips). Today, I happened to be in WLA and decided to revisit TT. Instead of my go-to, I only got one taco with cheese. After all these years, it's still the same. You got the hard, crunchy taco shell with nicely flavored shredded beef, sliced lettuce and medium-sized grated cheese. I would consider the salsa as mild. Dining is available both inside and outside. They do have their own parking lot. Some of the parking spaces are marked as compact. I opted for street parking.
I always see a line of people waiting to order so I stopped by. The taco is OK - hard shell. It's a little dry but the hot sauce helps. Street parking.
Tito's Tacos is a timestamp in history that you can have in the present. This is my older sibling's era of munchies while they were growing up. They lived in the westside while I grew up in the valley. My taste palettes grew up on other food items so at first glance Tito's isn't it for me. I do remember having Tito's as a child and remembering the same taste decades later. It is amazing to see the consistency throughout the many years. (except for the prices) Every time my brother comes to visit LA he jokes of wanting Tito's, but i know he really means it. We'll go and get an order of things and take it to go. For sure, I will be getting something while we're making the trip. Parking: small private lot, street parking VERDICT: Rinse and repeat
I wanted to enjoy this. But it wasn't even decent and the overall experience is bad. First off there is no parking, you wait in a long line and there is nowhere to sit. I'm Mexican so I have to denounce this, the tortilla is plain no flavor and not even fried correctly, its a terrible, uneven texture. The meat is not seasoned and the vegetables do not offer any sort of fresh taste.. The chips were OK, but the salsa was not spicy and tasted like jarred tomatoes... staff was friendly, but I will never come back and i dont recommend anyone visit this places. Spend your money elsewhere because this is overpriced and overhyped.

I've been coming here since 1980. This used to be my grandma's and my mom's SPOT!! Where $10 went a loooong way. Well I haven't been out this was for a while and wanted to hit up the spot! A lot has changed from the once jammed packed restaurant to a more corporate approach. No more multi lines inside amd outside. Just 1 line outside. The prices are RIDICULOUS too high! Also, the size of the burrito has gotten smaller. 2 burritos 6 tacos and 1 large salsa $120. Then the new guy, not one of the "tias" took my order and messed it up completely. One of the ladies had to help him figure out most of the order. Anways the taste was still there. I was happy about that. It wasn't as packed as before. Times definitely are changing. I still love this place. I'll be back. Sometimes we love things because they are familiar and remind us of a special time. read more
Came here during my hideous to our plus weight at the DMV a few blocks away from here in Culver city. Now this review will be relatively brief, keeping in mind that all things are relevant-and that few, if any establishments are immune to the passing of time. Simply put, as a damn near 30 plus year resident of Culver city, I'm well aware that this place is a virtual landmark and also holds cultural significance to Culver City proper. Truth be told, I wasn't that hungry, but was bored stiff as a result of the long line I had been waiting for, and still had in front of me at the dmv. And so one or two tacos can't hurt right? The tacos were good. Now I wouldn't necessarily certainly do backflips over them, (but my take on things are slightly biased since I've been here in Culver City so long and kind of judge them at what I remember the tacos tasting like when I was in my teens, 20s, 30s, and so on). But assuming you're closing in on the half century mark on this dear Earth of ours,what product, place or person is what it used to be right? Being that this is the beginning of the week, and after the lunch rush, and before the evening crowd, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. All in all a solid experience! And yes, I'm glad that Tito's continues to serve Culver City and beyond! By the way, for those who watch their local cable, they also have a pretty cool commercial! read more

Good and crispy, but too small, for $6.15 each. Comes with free chips and salsa. 15 min wait. There are benches outside and tables inside to eat, all self-served. Parking lot on the side. read more

Came here because of the great things I heard about it, but my experience here turned out to be just okay. The service was super fast and the price was reasonable for the portion size, but it was definitely not cheap or amazing like I thought it would be. I got a Tito Taco with Cheese and a Bean, Cheese, and Beef Burrito. Tito's Tacos with Cheese - This had beef, lettuce, and cheese. It really wasn't anything special and I felt as if I could make it myself. It didn't have a special seasoning or anything that would make it stand out to the other tacos that I have had in the past either. Bean, Cheese, and Beef Burrito - It felt pretty mushy and was a pile of goop. There was no textural difference between any of the ingredients inside this burrito and wasn't particularly flavorful as well. From my experience coming to Tito's Tacos, I don't think it was anything special. I could probably replicate everything I ate here myself down to the seasonings. I will say that I liked the salsa here a lot. It was pretty thin but had the grainy texture of tomato that I liked! I wouldn't come here again though, there is a lot better places to eat tacos and burritos in LA. read more
My boyfriend say videos of Tito's Tacos on You-Tube. We happened to be in LA for the day and saw the sign, so we decided to spontaneously stop in for a snack. They had their own parking lot, but there was definitely a line for the food. We ordered 2 Tito's Tacos with Cheese ($5.95/each). They provide complimentary chips and salsa with all orders. They had a comfortable interior seating area and also seats outdoors. The seating was well maintained with a designated staff that came around and gave each table a through sweep and wipe down as each table left. I was SO IMPRESSED by her cleaning. She got that edges of the tables too, which are usually missed. I was watching her in awe the whole time at how on top of things she was. When the tacos were ready, we were really excited to try them. The shells were extra crispy and there was a good amount of beef and cheese filling... However taste wise it's probably just a smidge better than Taco Bell. Definitely not worth the price tag... The complimentary chips were really crispy and you can tell they're made fresh, but the salsa were bland and watery. A nice novelty item but we both don't feel compelled to come back. read more

The best tacos in SoCal, food is simply the best, the service is top shelve, the lady's that take your order are very friendly and polite. The outdoor seating is limited but always a must for me, great ambiance. 4 tacos with cheese, chips and salsa! read more
Have always passed by Tito's and been curious to know what the hype was and let me just say I don't understand it. The tacos weren't bad but they weren't the best I've ever had. I read a review before trying it about how someone would prefer jack in a box tacos over this and if I'm being quite frank, I'd agree. I got 8 tacos with cheese, a bean and cheese burrito, and 1 large horchata for $65 dollars and I was absolutely thrown off by the price. It may seem like a lot of food but almost $6 bucks for a taco is kinda ridiculous! Nonetheless, it was not a bad taco, it just was a mediocre experience and I would say it's more of a one and done place that you should try and get over with. I would honestly save your money and go somewhere else, but again, try it and gauge your own opinion. The cheese would have tasted better melted, the chips provided were somewhat stale, but the salsa was actually really yummy! Staff wise, security guards are working and help out with calling orders out and they were really friendly! Staff were efficient even with long lines! Seating was available but parking can get packed. read more

Love this place always crowded but the line does not take long. Very organized for taking orders the parking is crazy but worth the time spent looking for parking.. the tacos are good very well stuffed with meat and cheese. The shell is not greasy and very crunchy. The staff is nice and the people that come here are nice. Always picking up the tables and cleaning them emptying the trash. You can always come a meet a new friend. read more
Came to Tito's after a good while and it's still nice, especially when in the mood for crunchy American style. My friends come here a lot, so they're familiar with the staff, feels good seeing how well they all attend them and greet one another, so you get that warm welcoming experience. We ate inside, it's clean and it wasn't too packed. The experience this time around brings up the points. read more

I just wanted to say a special thank you to the amazing staff who helped grant my dad's last wish to have Tito's! They were closed when we arrived and went out of their way to help accommodate! You guys were truly amazing and have no idea what you just did He wanted me to say "the only thing better than Tito's Tacos is 2!" read more

Tito's Tacos is one of the better taco places around. I used to order and eat inside the restaurant, but now we order outside. There isn't much seating available, but it was fine eating in the car. I'm giving it 4 stars because they don't put as many ingredients as they used to. Still, it's a good place to grab a quick snack or lunch. read more

Yelp says they have vegan options but what are they?
I know they have a veggie tamale but I expect it may be closer to vegetarian since it doesn't explicitly say "vegan". I've had it and it tastes good and comes with a red tomato sauce. My concern is what else it may be exposed to, but it was good. I,…
Is lard used to refry the beans are to fry anything?
Yes, they use lard for the majority of their dishes including chips
Do they use lard?
If they do, they need to use more. Because whatever they are putting in their tacos is making me drive 40 miles to go eat it. Plus lard helps to keep my joints lubricated.
I'm trying to order delivery but the website doesn't work anyone else have this issue?
I ordered for delivery in the 11AM first available time was 3PM, no problem. Note 3PM actually means to your door by 3:30 Everything was fresh and Hot.
Are they open today 6/1 even through the protests?
I drove by today around 4PM, and there was a line around the building. Good luck!
Does anyone know if they are open for take out or only delivery at this time?
They are closed but will open on June 1st for take out or order in store.
Are they open?
They are not and won't be until around the 15th of May, They decided it was not safe for the take out because of the long lines and to make stuff, I guess just to have delivered was not worth it.
Do you know if they use lard or another type of oil to fry their tortilla shells in?
They use lard
Do they accept credit cards?
They used to be cash only, but they now accept credit cards 😉
Has anyone brought tacos and burritos to the valley? I'm wondering how the food travels? :-) thx!
It travels very well. I live in Dallas now, but every time we fly to LAX to visit family, we stop at Tito's and bring take out to Woodland Hills.
Is Tito's tacos open today on the 4th of July?? @ Todd M. Have you thought about staying quiet if…
Have you thought about calling them? That would have been many less keystrokes.
Does anybody know what coffee they brew? I had it for the first time. It was cold but it was great.
Farmers. I don't know that you can get it in a store.
Are rice and beans vegan/vegetarian friendly? Containing chicken broth or lard.
Tito's is a firm believer in using Lard. I have also seen 55 gallon drums of MSG there. Getting to the age where I should not go back. But I will!! Tito's Tacos is one of the touchstones of eating in LA!!
I heard that their shredded beef comes from a plastic bag and they just pour it out . Thought it was fresh and seasoned from scratch. Does anyone know if it's true?
False, the meat is cooked on site, I know because I've been in the kitchen before.
