really nice gourmet mexican spot, got a burrito but all options seemed like they'd be good

Let me get one thing out of the way; it ain't cheap. If you choose where you eat based on "perceived" value, you may have sticker shock. And I'm definitely not taking my sons here. But the "actual" value (sorry, I got all marketing-ish there) is excellent because the food is fantastic. Clearly made in-house with excellent ingredients. I got the Al Pastor tacos and it was some of the best Al Pastor I've had; juicy, tender, a slight bite and subtle pineapple. My wife got the veggie taco and loved it. The salsas that come with the tacos are excellent too (the red was my favorite but the green is great too). We were still hungry, so got the chips and salsa. The chips were clearly made in-house, and they had coated them with something. That's really vague I know, sorry; my marketing-speak escaped me. But the chips and Pico de Gallo were both amazing. Lastly, I loved the watermelon agua fresca; clearly made in-house, and not too sweet. We already know what we're getting next time... read more

A quick stop for dinner for some food at Kitos. I took advantage of the taco Tuesday deal. Three tacos for $11.50 and $4 beer! I ordered first and then grabbed a seat with my number. You can also order takeout and wait for your name to be called. Food came out quick, the decor is so adorable, and tables are always open inside or outside. I grabbed a bite from my partner's burrito and it was so good. I appreciated the burrito crust from being grilled for an added texture. Pro tip: ask for the spicy sauce if you want a little more heat. They are also open at lunch. read more

Food was edible, that's about it. In hindsight, shoulda done the family-owned place. Prices were outrageously expensive (and, that is considering that this was in Marin). Flavors of salsa and guacamole were off - I am lactose intolerant, and it was clear that the guac was mostly SOUR CREAM, which the person who took my order neglected to mention. Soup was edible, but tasted funny - the flavors and spicing simply didn't work. Burrito had mashed potatoes (!) instead of rice, and no beans in sight. Just plain bizarre. So, if you're looking for traditional (or non-traditional) comida mexicana, give Kito's a wide berth, i.e. pass on it, except for the watermelon agua fresca. read more

I came across Kitos while driving through Corte Madera. It's a small shop on Corte Madera Ave. I walked in and immediately love d the ambiance. The owner Tommy is so nice as well, he was super accommodating and had good suggestions on what to order. I had the shrimp tacos and it was so delicious. read more

Finally checked this place out and so happy I did! The food is delicious. The refried black beans burrito is yummy and the seasoned chips are scrumptious, plus their home made salsas and hot sauce are unique! The michalada with tamarind is addicting and I love the spicy, sour and sweet. I definitely recommend you check it out! read more

Our favorite spot for Mexican in the Bay Area! We commute from SF for it. Especially love the scallop tostadas, the burritos, the salad with chicken, and of course, the chips! read more

Take out food here is probably from the best taco shop I have EVER had. My family has enchiladas, fish tacos and various sides all fresh, clean and delicious. I personally have had their salad with grilled chicken twice and it is the best ever. The textures are crispy and delicious to eat with plenty of ingredients to satisfy the most finicky eater. The dressing served on the side is spicy but you only need a small amount. Their grilled corn salad side is to die for. Love this place. It is a small restaurant for dine in but it is big with great food. read more

Tried this place on my lunch the other day. Ordered the carne asada California burrito for $21.75 VERY over priced even in this day and age for a very mid burrito. We all know a good salsa can save a mid burrito right, well not here some of the worst I've had in a long time taco sauce definitely made the burrito worse!!! *California Burrito 7.2 *Green Sauce 4.1 *Oarnge Sauce 3.3 read more

I ordered a kids chicken and rice bowl, 2 steak tacos and a Al pastor burrito. The burrito was good but the chicken was over cooked and had burnt marks on it, the tacos were also really dry with no flavor. I called that night and left a message about the food but I never got a call back. I didn't even want a refund I just wanted to let them know about what happened. But I guess they didn't care enough to call back. I thought twice about ordering from here but decided to give them a try, I should have listened to my instincts read more

Food was incredible!! The fish tacos were amazing!! Service was good and loved the ambiance and history!! We got salsa to go it was so good!! read more

Good food. Got the carna asada street tacos and a single salmon taco. Food was good but a little pricey

Wow! Finally!! A great local taco shop. My beingfrom San Diego, i have high expectations of local taco shopps and its the ONE thing Ive been missing. This place nails it!!! Not only is the carne asada tender, delicious and with a healthy portion size, its prepared well with every detail considered. The pico, guac, and all other items were fresh and cooked to perfection. Bravo!! This will definitely be a new local staple for my family and out of towners! read more

Hands down the best tacos in Marin. We got the scallop taco salmon taco and shrimp taco. Even their chips are to die for. The guac is fresh and simple. We also got the soup which was also outstanding. The inside is decorated so cute and the service is really good. You order at the counter and take a number but they still come to check in on you. The sangria is also very good! The portions are big too! read more

First time here, and I liked it. I got the taco Tuesday special: 3 street tacos for $11.50. It comes with two delicious salsas. The food was good, but cold. I bet it would be 5 star if it were served hot. The service was friendly by the owner. It's a cute little restaurant. Will be back to try something else sometime. read more

Went with a couple friends during lunch on a busy Friday. Nice little space with lots of seating. Good vibe for sure. We ordered a variety off the menu, tacos, burrito bowl and fajitas. Everything looked delicious with quality ingredients. The miss for me and my party was our grilled chicken was way too salty and didn't seem fresh even though it was right at lunch time. So much so it over powered the dishes. My burrito bowl (served on a plate) came out tepid and same for the tacos which was a bummer. Warmth would have made them much better. Now for all the cons the pros are good quality ingredients, they take care in their presentation, they care about their business and it seems to be popular local spot. I'm sure this was a miss, but probably not the norm. read more

Finally, a legit local taco shop! As someone from LA, I can honestly say that it's hard to find good Mexican food in North Bay (or at least anything that compares to what I'd normally get in SoCal). But I finally found a spot with legit SoCal vibes and flavors. And it's walking distance from my apt (not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet hah). The owners were really nice and the service was great! Despite the small space, there's plenty of seating both inside and out. The Birria tacos were delicious (a pretty big portion with lots of meat) and the Dodger gear above the bar made it feel like home. Welcome to the neighborhood, Kitos Taco Shop!!! Larkspur/Corte Madera is lucky to have you! read more

The ambiance was beautiful and had a great vibe. I ordered the street tacos 2 carne asada and 1 al pastor and the flavor for both was amazing! The al pastor was so juicy and carne asada soft. The service was great and very accommodating! Most of all, the food was fresh and so good. After I ate the tacos I ordered more of the red sauce and guac cause I could not stop eating lol. Everything was so yummy and definitely worth going back to. read more

Kitos is the greatest. Top quality food in a nice cozy environment. The burritos are next level. Such a welcome addition to Corte Madera. I wish old Corte Madera Square would get more places like Kitos and Burmatown (hey Creekside ;-) ). If I were to give only one criticism, it would be to get some quality local beer on draft. Totally love a Modelo, but sometimes you want a little fresher. Thank you Kitos. read more

Great tacos. East LA style. Small 2-3 bite tacos with great choices in meat. Fresh ingredients. Not what I expected in this neighborhood! Bold flavors and willingness to experiment (mole wings??). Highly recommend. read more

We ordered takeout tonight and yowza, this place is amazing!! We got 2 quesadillas, one steak and one shrimp and they were both incredible! The tortilla is crispy and kind of flakey and the meat/shrimp was season to perfection. I'm so glad we gave this place a try! We'll be back very soon. read more

Cute little taco shop. Quick and polite service. The food is delish, fresh and made with a twist. Try the chips with a special seasoning, grandmas recipe! All I can say is yum! read more

Food is consistently yummy. Owners are always present and attentive. Service is fast and friendly.

Best taco shop in Marin County!! Cute decor, great service and delicious Mexican food at reasonable prices. The fish tacos are excellent, plenty of fish, great salsas and the vegetarian tacos are wonderful as well. Not a meat eater but my carnivore friends love their carnitas. read more

So damn good. Best fish tacos Ive had. The hub made happy faces as he ate the queso birria. This is a gem!

After visiting John Muir Woods with my boyfriend and friends we went here to grab a bite to eat. My boyfriend had done research the night before to look up a good Mexican spot in the area since that's what my friends from North Carolina wanted to eat. As we entered we were greeted by the owner "Tommy", he was really friendly and felt nothing but good vibes here when entering. He took our order and gave our friends samples of the horchata since they never had it before. And let me tell you, my boyfriend and I love horchatas, this by far was the best horchata we ever had! Not too sweet, creamy and light. Tommy gave us permission to put tables together so our group of 5 can sit together. The place is pretty small but very cozy and I just loved the ambiance and was happy we were all able to sit together. Now for the food. Everything was soooooo good! I was happy with my fish tacos that were very filling and was cooked crispy to perfection and were bigger pieces of fish then I'm used to! My boyfriend was happy with his Quesadilla which the tortilla was cooked perfectly also, nice and crisp with a flakiness to it. It had so much flavor in it, he said he barely had to put any lime or anything on it cuz it had so much flavor already! Our friends agreed, they loved the food also and never had Mexican food better than this! Over all, we loved the food. They make the tortillas and everything fresh. Some of the best Mexican food we ever had! Tommy made us all feel welcome and checked on us. The venue is small but is the cutest restaurant with all the vibrant colors, beautiful art and pictures of his Grandma Kito, which is who the restaurant is named after. The restaurant is also very clean, along with the bathroom. One of the cleanest bathrooms we ever been in in a restaurant and had art and the best ambience in there as well! lol We only wish this place was closer to where we live which is way up north, but we know for sure we will definitely have to come back again one day! Thank you Tommy for such a great experience enjoying some of the best Mexican food we ever had! read more

The food was quite good. Unfortunately for them I lived in the Mission District for many years. And I have feasted at all the best taquerias in San Rafael, Redwood City and a few decent ones in the East Bay. Let alone the myriad of those in El Lay and, better, San Diego County. One asada mojado with chips and salsa came to 43 bones albeit with a fiver tip which is insane for pickup. read more

Sooooo good! Always consistently good for dinner, snack, or just chips and a beer! All good! Cute little hole in the wall place that has a big taste! Def recommend! read more

The best carne asada California burrito in the Bay Area, including the Mission. Dems fighting words, but as someone born and raised in San Diego, I can attest that it is the real deal. In particular, two things set it apart from the typical competitors. One, the outside of the burrito is properly browned; it is difficult to underscore how important this is to a proper burrito. Second the sauces are top-notch, really good smoky flavor to them. And of course there are no fillers like rice or beans. I've gotten the burrito a half dozen times now and it is consistently good. The horchata is also good. read more

Wow! What a gem! Heading north on the 101, we were in dire need of some good food and a cold beer. We had originally set our sights on Hook Fish Co in Mill Valley but didn't dig the chaotic vibe or the hour long wait there. Just 13 minutes further north we arrived at Kito's and they delivered EXACTLY what we needed. With a delicious yet approachable menu (we had a four year old with us so having options was v important) we settled on the chips/guac/salsa starter, the salmon tacos, southwest salad and a taco special, along with two canned craft IPAs from local breweries. Everything was super good. Wish we tried their bowl of elote bc the chips were bomb. Found our new spot for the next time we're heading north out of San Francisco. This place is a must try! read more

First time coming here and finding this place on Yelp after a long day of driving and mountain biking. This was a gem of a find located in a neighborhood just around the corner from the Corte Madera mall. It's a very small hole in the wall and they fit as many seats and tables they can inside and outside. They have some tacos of the day and I went with my favorite burria tacos that didn't disappoint and they NEED to add these to their regular menu. My bf got his favorite steak and shrimp burrito - wet style just the way he likes it. He said it was the best burrito he's ever had and I was impressed he finished it all in one sitting because that thing was huge. We knew this place was gonna be good when even the chips and salsa were banging. We now have a reason to ride out that way and go to our new fave taco spot. Service was also fantastic with a man and girlfriend duo that managed that whole place fabulously. All the stars are well deserved! read more

It's a treat every time I eat at Kito's. The owner is very kind and welcoming and the food is made with so much love and care. I've tried the burrito (with asada), California burrito (pastor), and nachos (asada), and all have been outstanding. Also to note: the nachos portion is huge! Enough to feed 2 and I love how there was corn on it too. Love and recommend!! read more

Epic vibes and even better food. Stoped in for a burrito and was stoked on everything about this spot.

I went here with my kid after a rough afternoon. She was crying and it was all my fault but the amazing delicious food here with its cute atmosphere , location and workforce saved the day. I had the kid's chicken n rice and it was absolutely fabulous. I like kids options because they are more bland and this was amazing. it was too hot inside but we didn't care. read more

Kito's is our go-to spot for California burritos in Marin, so when we were considering catering our daughter's 1st birthday party we were excited to try them. We got catering for about a dozen people, and planned on each person having three street tacos plus rice and beans. We also got chips and guacamole, and a southwest side salad. The food was warm, well packaged, and ready at the agreed-upon pick up time. They weren't even supposed to be open that day (it was Easter Sunday) but the chef came in to make our order. It was plenty of food and we received many compliments about how good the tacos were. As always, the chips and guacamole are delicious, as were the rice and beans which we had not tried before. I would inject the red sauce directly into my veins if I could. The only thing I would have tweaked is the dressing for the salad has a fair amount of kick, which I like but is less friendly for kids or those with mild palates. If you're thinking about catering your next event, definitely consider supporting your local taco shop! read more
