This place was amazing! My first time and the women at the register was so nice and greeted me with a smile! Not just that when I had originally placed the order of 2 carne asada Tj tacos over the phone she was still super nice on the phone! But back to the tacos there, they were amazing!! So delicious and so full of flavor! The best part is they came with a topping of onion and cilantro with guacamole! Also when you order these tacos you get free limes on the side. Other places don't bother offering or you have to ask , but at Tito's I didn't! I will be coming back there all the time not to mention they're 24/7! I loved my meal there! read more

First time here and I was very skeptical but mannnnnn the Chorizo TJ Street tacos were so yummy!!! the yellow tortillas they use is great!

It's been about 12 or so years since I worked nearby and would frequent this shop at least three times a week because of how good they were. Recently moved back and tried again today. What happened!? I ordered three rolled taco meal. The tacos were tiny, hardly any meat, beans were dry and bland and so was the rice. Not the return I was hoping for. Two stars for the aguacate salsa. read more

Los Tito's Mexican Food - Three Rolled Taco Combo (3) - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

What a big letdown. We ordered: --one carne asada California burrito --two chicken tacos I normally looove California burritos and if you do too, don't get one here. The burrito's main problem was that it was kinda flavorless. Instead of Los Tito's having the main element be the star of the show, the carne asada meat was a bunch of hard fatty chunks of tough beef that had no flavor. Not even passable as carne asada. The french fries inside also were flavorless and soggy, not crisp. The other accoutrements in the burrito were overload, mainly sour cream so heavy I gagged a bit. The burrito really sucked. The 2 chicken tacos came on crispy corn shells (the only option on the DoorDash menu). Further down in the options to add is a + $3.95 charge for a flour tortilla. This was a ridiculous offering, because you would think if somebody was ordering the extra flour shell, that they would want it swapped for the corn one. Instead, they sent it separately. ONE TORTILLA for $3.95! What! The chicken taco was dripping with grease. The 3 items, at $47, with no add-ons other than the extra flour tortilla is sheer highway robbery. Oh, and these items were ordered from my hotel only 1 mile away from Los Tito's, and you would think logically that any customer staying at a hotel would need utensils, whether they asked for them or not. I didn't see that option on the app. No utensils were provided. Try swapping 2 corn tortillas using ONE flour tortilla with no utensils. So much fun. Not. The only item that arrived hot was the $3.95 tortilla. Probably because they almost missed including it in the order. There are better Mexican restaurants out there for less than $47 for 3 ordinary menu items, so my advice would be to skip this place. Signed, This is why we Yelp! read more

I really like the food quality, but two of our last three orders were wrong. First order was carne asada fries, we took it home and there was no carne asada meat, just fries, cheese and guacamole. We brought it back and they made us new ones with extra meat. The meat and fries are really good quality, I don't love the guacamole, a little flavorless but that's okay. Our next order we ordered a half order of carne asada fries and a full order of carne asada fries with shrimp. We only got the half order and that had 7 pieces of shrimp on it which was $7 extra dollars. They made us a full order of carne asada fries and we moved the shrimp to that order. It's just disappointing to have orders messed up that often, especially for a taco shop that I like! I'm going to give this place one more mess up and then I'm looking elsewhere. read more

I ordered a California burrito and asked for well done fries. They gave me LESS fries and they were not well done and the burrito was loose. This place used to be fire and I don't know what happened to it. It's been happening for about 8 months now and I just kept letting it slide because what if they are having a shitty day and or whatever reason but no, it's been happening every time I go now. I'm not going back. read more

Same good food, hidden gem! We tried chili rellenos 3# plate, authentic- reminds me of that border town I grew up in!! And the chicken hard tacos-did not disappoint! read more

Got takeout from here and it was pretty solid! I had the veggie burrito and I enjoyed it, not a life changing burrito but would definitely have it again. Was a little disappointed that when ordering to go they didn't give us any salsas but we will be sure to explicitly ask for them next time. read more

Their Surf and Turf Burrito is amazing! I've loved this place since the very first time I visited, and it's a shame I'm only writing a review now The service is always great -- the staff are friendly and super helpful with any questions about the menu. I also love dining in -- the beautiful artwork on display adds such a nice touch, and it even prompted me to follow their Instagram Thank you, and I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

It's hit or miss. I usually get the California pollo burrito, You never know if it'll be good or not. 50/50 chance. When the bean tostada is good, it's really good, when it's not, the shell is old and you can't bite through it, so I always ask to make sure the shell is fresh. Well tonight it wasn't. Disappointed and in addition to bad tostada tonight a homeless guy ( extremely dirty) comes in and goes through the garbage for food then 15 minutes later returns for water and touches everything on the counter. He was served water. I'll be taking a break from Los Tito's read more

That's wasn't good they over charged my card they took way more then it costed from my card and the fries were way to hard j couldn't bite into it frl I wouldn't recommend read more

Los Tito's Mexican Food - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

Terrible people terrible food. Everything about this place is an absolute zero I wish that I can give this place more than a negative star everything about this place is absolutely terrible. The workers the food and the environment are a zero. If someone isn't working then they shouldn't speak to customers especially with an attitude. Do not go to this establishment they do not care about anything but money. Such a terrible business. Will never go here again and I'm a local in La Mesa. I'll make sure to tell everyone how you treat your customers. read more

Just got off of 12 hour shift and was absolutely starving. Ordered a Cali burrito through DoorDash and was so sad to see that no hot sauces came with my order! Not sure if it's an additional option when I but I am sad. Nothing completes a burrito without hot sauce :( *tear* read more

The Cali, which is listed first, was literally 90% fries! Very little carne or quac. And my Fish burrito was slightly better but the tortilla was so tough in places, I could barely eat it. Very bummed to try a new place and have it be such a disappointment. read more

Cassandra at the front desk was very very helpful with many choices, service and satisfaction.

The food quality is trash and 14$ for eggs, cheese and potato's in a tiny burrito is crazy lol everything is overpriced . 1 mini taco is 5$ lol read more

This for the Adobada Burrito ~$10(?). What a showstopper! My friend kept raving about this place and I was wondering if he was overhyping me up or if it was the real deal. The meat was delicious, fatty and oily. The burrito was perfectly wrapped (bursting at the seams). I liked that they had pico de gallo or some sorta salsa going on inside, give it that extra flavor layer and broke up the richness of the meat. The red sauce also has a KICK. My friend picked it up for us to eat at home and the burrito was still yummy and warm after sitting there for a hour. I feel like that's a testament to the hype, definitely get out there and try it! I look forward to going again but not sure if I would get something else bc my hubs got the Shrimp burrito and said there was WAAAY too much rice in it, whereas I either didn't notice any in mine (or there was very little of it), it mainly consisted of meat and diced tomatoes. read more

I ordered the asada nachos and they were terrible. I didn't know they even still made liquid nacho cheese but they do. The nachos were smothered in the stuff. There was almost no meat and the beans were dry and cold. Overall not a good experience as they made me sick. I've had a breakfast burrito from there prior and that was good but this will be my last time going there. read more

Ran in for a quick bite to eat after working at an event near by and was super impressed by Los Tito's Mexican food. Their Rolled potato tacos were so good and everything on them look really fresh, not to say their Salsas verdes are the bomb!! So good!! We didn't just enjoy the food, but the art around the sitting area! read more

Great shrimp diablo burrito. Super spicy so heads up it ain't for the weak stomach. People inside are always nice to me and I usually order ahead for no wait. My go to shrimp diablo burrito place!! read more

Have driven by this place many times and finally stopped and went in. The establishment is very clean and well decorated with all kinds of artwork on the walls, including pictures of classic cars. The guy behind the counter was friendly and smiling. I ordered a fish burrito for $12.39 (including tax) to go. It was outstanding and much better than the last one I got from a popular place in Santee (next to the Honda Service Center on Mission Gorge Road). read more

Parking is horrible. The food is mid. The service couldn't be slower. Lady that took my order was about as unhappy as the cooks were slow. Go anywhere else. Safer too. read more

If I can't rate it a 0 it would be.. Raw fries not cooked at all, especially when you ask them for extra crispy fries this is not what we should receiving. This place has been such a big letdown and is so gross now. My husband had a chorizo burrito with no eggs because he's allergic to it and his sandwich had a whole bunch of eggs in there. What's the point of asking for additional instructions in your order if they're not gonna pay attention to it. also, every time when we call to ask for anything extra that will pay for or to change something. We always get a rude cashier that answers us back and hangs up the phone on you when all we're asking is to add salsa to the order or to add french fries to a burrito but she just hangs up on your face I had to call back three times to get our order right and it still came wrong Do not order from here your food is not gonna come out right everything's gonna be raw and uncooked read more

Ordered Carne Asada Burrito to go. The entire thing was freezing cold. (Not cold from guacamole or pico--meat was chilled, tortilla cold as it if it was leftover and put in a refrigerator.) Used a meat thermometer to test it, 63 degrees. Rolled tacos were room temp. No hot sauce in bag. Called to let the restaurant know, and they were not helpful. Afraid to eat the burrito, not sure how old was? How long it was sitting around? Did they pull it from the fridge and put it in a bag? I threw it in the trash, not taking chances. 12 bucks wasted. Will NOT eat here again. (Plenty other taco shops to choose from.) Beware of this place! read more

Meh. I've had better from 24 hour establishments. Chips were a little stale. My burrito was good but they put green snot (guacamole) on it which I didn't know came with it. Not everyone likes green snot. Service was friendly. Wouldn't be a first choice to go back to but wasn't horrible either. read more

Ok so. Food wise (which is what most people wanna know) their food is A MA ZING. as a Mexican AND big foodie myself. Me and my partner always try different taco shops. And we just found THE one to be out go-to! I Highly recommend their shredded beef! Chile relleno is also super good. Carnitas are great. The food is just great! Now that being said, let me move to Customer service experience. As another service Industry myself who works dealing with a lot of people too. I have to give HUGE shoutouts and kudos to Both Gloria and Jane. For being So Young, and working at a taco shop (where usually customers are Not nice to the workers). They're both SO polite and nice. And not even Fake nice. They're genuinely sweet and attentive. They make the whole experience pleasant and we for sure will be coming back to this place for their delicious food. But also hoping one of these 2 amazing workers are there. I really hope the management know the jewels they have working there! Great job! read more

If you are hungry at night time please avoid this Mexican restaurant they are overpriced and the food quality is trash please please avoid

I've been a vegan for over a decade, 13 years since I've consumed meat. There have been minor errors over the years with a restaurant, ie chicken stock in rice, lard in beans, accidental dairy cross contamination: each time the restaurant has understood the severity of their issue and worked with me to find a solution appropriate for the mistake. Tonight, with no other customers or orders to fill, Los Tito's failed to not only complete one burrito order correctly, but failed to do what every other business has done in the past. A veggie burrito - just as it comes, with one addition: SOY chorizo. They even have an entire printed sign of vegetarian options, as if they understood people dietary preferences are less likely to change than their religion. After walking to my hotel in the rain, I took a bite and immediately noticed the MEAT was real meat. Didn't even look like soy chorizo, or chorizo. It was CLEARLY flesh. I walked back, in the rain, incredibly angry - my stomach in knots. I arrived, opened the burrito on the counter and asked the loser in the kitchen if the piece of meat was real or soy. He told me he wouldn't answer me with the attitude I had - I'll admit, I was furious: I didn't curse or yell, but I was as firm as one could be given the mistake he had made. The cashier came out, spoke in Spanish with the night shift cook, and looked me in the eye, "that's not real meat." After I asked one more time, pointing out it was CLEARLY FLESH, in pieces, not chopped fine or red in color as chorizo has always been, she admitted "yeah that's meat, my mistake." The cook butted in, "the grills closed we aren't cooking anymore." Cashier: "yeah, sorry." HOW IS THIS ANY BIT ACCEPTABLE? I've worked in good service. I've managed kitchens. I've been in their exact position when a mistakes been made. The several seconds of silence while we made eye contact, as if the problem was resolved. I then stated the obvious, "can I get a freaking refund...?" As she fumbled on the computer a few minutes, a customer walked in. I let him know the kitchen was closed, just as the cook told me a few minutes ago. The man asked if that was true, to which the cook responded, "well there are a few things still possible just wait a moment." I'm standing outside at the moment as the cook is making a burrito for the guy who just ordered - confirmed by the customer and visually through the window. One star isn't deserved read more

Literally the worst Mexican in San Diego, they were good a couple of years ago. We ordered supreme nachos, I had no clue fake cheese was even part of the ingredients at a Mexican taco shop in San Diego???? So gross! Tasted like refried beans from a can, stale chips, canned nacho cheese, watered down sour cream and some meat (questionable as to the animal). Just wait it gets worse... No pico. And when I asked the cashier about the canned nacho cheese she replied "that's supreme, not carne asada!" And basically excused me from the cashier stand. They do have good hot sauce and carrots. They only carry Pepsi products on fountain. The seats are all ripped and no drive thru If you want some good Mexican food in the area, go to Taco Fiesta, this place is not worth the time or money. read more

There is nothing I hate more than a business that has no idea how to create lasting relationship ships with customers, THIS IS MY LOCAL TACO SHOP, I come here 3-4x a week sometimes more, I am still high from just being released from surgery, so I had to order my food on doordash, since I cannot drive, I called to verify they make my order to correct and the girl said she would let them know, mind you there is no where on doordash to ask for hot sauce and before I can ask her ti I clyde a couple she rudely hung up on me This story is far to long to type while I'm still high Point is I will never eat here again Not because of the food but Because this is not my first encounter with this disrespectful girl who answers the phone and continues to mess up my orders read more

5 stars!! This 24/hr taco shop is bomb!! It was 2:30AM and I was looking for a meal. Everything was closed so I drove to La Mesa. This taco shop had street tacos and they were stuffed to the brim!! Seriously sooo much meat!! I couldn't even finish my two tacos, I was stuffed!! The meat tasted fresh, cooked perfectly, and it wasn't greasy. The service was great! My order was ready in just a few minutes. 10/10 Would recommend this taco shop over any other places in the area. read more

Theres no efficiency and no "great" service. My experience felt very discriminated. Knock down 2 more stars and make it 1 star. they make you pay later just to forget about you and have the people that ordered after you get their order first. I was waiting for my food for 45 mins just for a cali burrito. Save the trip and bring your money somewhere else there's Vallarta's that's better then the service here. the burrito wasn't even fulfilling and the meat was dry!!! I've had better read more

I enjoy the food. The service is cool too. I have been coming here for years, but it's just not as good as it used to be. I can't pinpoint what the change is, but I think the food being pricey- $18 for carne fries and chips for the order to not come with everything on it, is a bit pricey. Came in hungry, but left when I seen how expensive the food was. read more

Been living in sd and this place is old reliable for food when I need it. I have had a few items from here the chinichanga, the torta, the carne asada fries, and a few burritos. The crown jewel is the sancho burrito it is a shrimp and bacon burrito that I haven't had anywhere else. That combination is just unique and goes together really well. I am in sd one more month and I will Be coming back for this bad boy. Goes great with both salsas, if you are looking for something traditional maybe the California burrito! read more
