About Tito’s Tacos
On Washington Place in Culver City, Tito's Tacos serves crispy hard-shell tacos ordered at a walk-up window and called by number. The counter also runs a Bean Burrito, a Bean & Cheese Burrito, and an All Beef Burrito alongside the rest of a 74-item menu. Orders are paid for at the window rather than reserved, and a wait is common even though the line moves. Both indoor seating and outdoor seating are available, and the entrance is step-free for wheelchair access. Dogs are welcome for those eating outside. The kitchen also handles takeaway for anyone eating off site. It opens daily, with no reservations taken at any point in the week. Parking near the restaurant is limited.

Customer Review Summary
The crunchy hard-shell taco with cheese is what most reviewers come for, describing slow-cooked, tender beef and lettuce in a thick shell with a serious crunch. Several call it their favorite crunchy taco in LA, often tying it to childhood visits. Close behind are the red and green salsas and thick chips that come with each order, plus bean and cheese burritos in a thick flour tortilla and a guacamole one reviewer describes as more of a creamy sauce. Others find the tacos just okay, with meat that needs more flavor, a dry burrito, and chips with a lard aftertaste. Price is the most repeated complaint. Reviewers call the tacos small for the cost, resent the extra charge for cheese, and one notes a large guacamole costing more than the burrito. One longtime customer says an employee began cleaning around diners and rushed them shortly before closing. Lines move fast, and one reviewer who found the chicken tamale dry, with a watery dipping sauce, took it back to the window and got a refund.

“Saw this video on YouTube on Tito's tacos looked awesome on the video showed how they made their own tortillas the process they use to make their taco meat the process of building the tacos definitely wanted to try it after seeing that video! pulled up there on a Sunday early afternoon around 1:30 p.m. lots of people in line to order lots of people waiting for their order I was real excited to try it because any busy restaurant is usually a great sign. My wife and I ordered two tacos each and 1 chicken tamale to share and one large Coke.To expensive $6 for a taco with cheese not worth it! $8.50 for the tamale and $4 for the Coke . For $6 a tacos they were very small in my opinion The meat tasted fine nothing special very little lettuce good amount of cheese the salsa was really good I'm mixed a little bit of the red and the green I like the flavor. After finishing one of my two tacos I decided to try the chicken tamale through my surprise it came with a very watery type of dipping sauce The tamale itself was very small very dry now I understand why they included some kind of a dipping sauce after taking one bite I opened it up cuz I could not stand the dryness and/or the flavor very little chicken some kind of a sticky cheese with green leafy substance throughout it worse tamale I've ever had in my life I packed up the horrible sauce that came with it and the tamale went back up to the window and got my money back for the tamale. The best part of my experience was the speed on which they got through the lines ordering and receiving your food if you're in a hurry this is a great place if you want really good tacos my advice is don't waste your money these tacos are just not worth it”

“7/9/26: Had the titos Taco with cheese and a beef tamale. Both good, and the red salsa with the chips is great.”

“It looks popular. But the tacos where mid. The taco all around is just bland. Taco shell has a stale kinda crunch, not necessarily a bad thing. Salsa is ok, chips are alright. Service is fast and good. But they should have just called the place “White People Taco Night” not sure if I just came on an off day. I’m sure it tastes better when you’re drunk. I’d definitely come back again when I’m drunk, or in the mood to feel disappointed.”

“I've been going here since I was a little girl. My dad would take me and my brother and mom all the time growing up. This place holds such a special place in my heart. I finally got to take my own kids to where they can remember going now with me and my husband. Their food is amazing and don't get me started on the salsa!! Such great service and always kind and understanding. My son also has an egg and peanut allergy so since this was his first time really trying the food they understood my concern and called the owner just to make sure he could have it. I will always keep bring my family here and I hope one day my kids will carry on our families favorite taco place to bring there families as well. 🙌❤️”

“FIX YOUR ONLINE DELIVERY AND LOWER THE CHARGE! Not only has the link to “delivery” not been working in months but it’s over $10! The tacos are mediocre at best and also way too overpriced for little meat and even less cheese. Do better Tito’s if you want to keep your customers!”
