★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Olivia Issak · Jan 2026

I love Mexican food and there’s a lot of great taco shops, my son wanted to go here. Made the drive to check this place out and maybe it was an off day for them but the carneasada was way too Salty, making it hard to enjoy your food. After seeing other reviews seems to be inconsistent with seasoning the meat. It’s like why not try a piece to make sure it’s worth serving. I hate that this happened but maybe better next time.

This place is simply delicious. The chilaquiles is packed with flavor, and the bacon breakfast burrito was great as well. Salsa was also great. Everything tasted homemade in the best way possible. Tita’s Taco Shop is a solid option if you want something good but don’t want to break the bank, and the portion size is more than fair as well. I will be ordering from here again, for sure.

Wow!!! Got the Tio Burrito and oh my goodness, WELCOME TO FLAVORTOWN!!! Fresh salad too. I love green salsa but the red salsa they have should be bottled and sold separately! It was so good I literally left a 10 dollar tip for a 15 dollar burrito.

It’s always a pleasure coming to Tita’s. Everytime I come here I love to try new items on the menu. Me and my wife got the got Birria tacos and shrimp taco.the Birria tacos were so cheesy and good. The shrimp tacos were grilled and the chipotle mayo gives it a nice kick. We shared our surf and turf fries which hit the spot, it was my favorite item on the menu. So delicious so good!! I took a southwestern bowl to go for work the next day. It was still yummy when I ate it! Definitely coming back here !

Okay I wanted to try this place out because it was going viral. I got a bacon breakfast burrito. 1. It’s overpriced. $12 for a breakfast burrito ok not bad maybe the burrito is worth it. NOPE!!!!!! 2. Portions don’t add up to the price. The burrito was small. More egg than bacon that’s for sure. 3. I asked for it to be cut in half. They didn’t even do that. 4. The burrito tastes like burnt egg. Definitely won’t be coming back.
