This is one of our favorite local spots for lunch! Hubs loves their spicy margarita (he gets it extra spicy by adding fresh jalapeños) and their fresh (and free) chips and salsa goes down too easy! We ordered an order of chips and guacamole which tasted fresh and the chips were warm, fresh out of the kitchen! Then, street tacos (adding a third taco) and the bandito burrito (grilled, with shredded beef). The server was so friendly and everything came out fresh, hot and on time. Everything was delicious and we highly recommend! *there is a dedicated, off street parking lot - and bar seating as well as dining room seating (mostly booths which we prefer). read more

We spur of the moment had dinner here tonight. We both had the taco salad with shredded beef (think tender roast) and they were pleasant while we made a couple changes. Everything was yummy. The place could use some sprucing up but honestly the food is tasty, staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. read more

Tito's is below average. Their nachos are good, but every other dish I've had there over the years has been disappointing. After trying it several times to account for kitchen staff turnover, I gather that the house recipes simply call for too much salt. Further, they don't do well on presentation. They serve rice and beans in little cups. Their burritos aren't as good as Baja's right down the street. As a native Californian, I love Mexican food. I wish Middletown had a casual Mexican restaurant that measured up. read more

I have enjoyed Tito's many times. It's is not fancy Mexican. Tito's is casual . It's simple but has been good many times. The last few times it has not been up to par. There has been a giant pile of cheese melted on top that over takes the meal. The enchilada has been salty and just ok. I am not sure if the kitchen staff are new but sadly it's been mediocre. The people are extremely nice and it's a fun place. The house margarita is always good read more

Such a nice little authentic mexican Restaurant. My server Jackie was very attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The chips were warm and the salsa was the best that I've had in a long time. The menu has really great selections--something for everyone--and all the food is fresh and delicious. read more

Not too bad! First, both of the tacos that we got were not that bad, but I would definitely add some of the green hot sauce for some more flavor for every bite. The service was very helpful and attentive even though it got busy as time went! Vibes were LOUD throughout the place. You can tell this is a locals and a place that manyyyy come to. Overall, I'd say it was okay......just wish there were some authentic Mexican dishes on the menu but overall not bad. read more

Out of town and looking for some good Mexican food. Came across the restaurant that is the same name of our great Dane. Had to stop in. Very pleased with the food and the service. We got it to go. read more

Love this place! So good! Great food and drinks! They offer complimentary chips and salsa too! Bonus!!!

Great Saturday lunch spot! My wife and I stopped by today for lunch. It was her first time and my first in about 15 years. We had a great lunch, and for 20 bucks were both full. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are not made in house, but are a house brand served hot, excellent salsa. Enough kick yo make you sneeze, but not enough to make you cry. For our lunch we split the carnitas special: two soft corn shells with carnitas, chips, and baked beans. The baked beans were delicious. Very smoky. The server said they cook them all night. The carnitas was tender, clean, and tasty. We also had a three pack of crispy corn tacos with ground beef. Delicious! Definitely worth a try. read more

Great burritos. Been going for many's years has not changed at all. Maybe could use some updates inside but in all the food is still amazing read more

Server was nice, place looked clean, felt comfortable. I ordered street corn, couldn't eat it. I'm a Southern California native. This was not street corn. I also ordered 2 tacos, again not what I expected. Sadly, won't be going back. read more

My wife and I have been been coming here for years. This is by far the best Mexican on the island. The food is fresh, drinks are yummy and Rachel makes our experience here always a pleasure. Rachel knows the menu and always adds a smile Try the Mexi rolls and the fried ice cream! Taco Tuesdays are amazing! Guac, salsa, everything delish!!! read more

Delicious chips and salsa, a convenient location, great service as well! Thanks for a great dinner (and left overs!)

Service was wonderful and very timely. Food was very tasty and came out hot! Incredible ambiance, love the authentic home like feel. Rachel was an excellent hostess. Dessert was delicious. read more

I come here occasionally for lunch before I head to work. Yes, they can be short staffed but 1) who isn't these days?? And 2) there's a sign saying so when you walk in the door so therefore compassion, patience and understanding are easy to extend here because the staff on duty are awesome! They hustle, smile and do whatever they can to accommodate their customers and provide quality service to the best of their abilities! The food is Mexican comfort food and their salsa is always fresh and addictive! (I do wish they'd go back to the thinner tri-colored tortilla chips) food is always fresh I love the atmosphere- easy vibe with Mexican decor that reminds me of my time in the southwest. If you want easy and friendly I recommend Tito's. Love the chill vibe and the tequila selection! read more

I truly wish I could give Tito's a better review. I visited Saturday evening, one of three parties in the restaurant at the time. So it was not busy at all. I ordered a watermelon margarita and was not asked how I wanted it (frozen, on the rocks, salted or unsalted). I received a margarita on the rocks no salt and unfortunately it has no watermelon flavor at all. I asked the server if in fact it was made to be watermelon and she said yes. My boyfriend's burrito was more than 50% romaine lettuce as a filler. The steak in it was tough and bland. So disappointing. I had asked my server if the refried beans were made fresh or canned, she said they were made fresh but they tasted and had the consistency of canned. My Mexi rice had no flavor whatsoever. If your looking for true Mexican food this unfortunately is not the place to go. read more

I have had a lot of Mexican food and this is by far the worst Ive had and the food was not good at all. You have to pay extra for chips and salsa. The chicken in the tacos tasted like they were from a can and tasted microwave. Definitely would have been better off going to Taco bell next door. It seemed like there's only one waitress, taking care of the entire restaurant. Will not return. read more

Friendly staff, great chips, salsa, and queso. Left very full and satisfied, great decor and atmosphere!

Great place. Absolutely loved the customer service and the interior looked sooo quaint. The stained glass was a nice tough that really sparkles with the sun. The food? Amazing. I got the enchiladas and they had both red and green sauce, but let me tell you I couldn't stop eating them both. I know I have a preference for the green sauce but this place seriously made me question my taste. The best part was they gave me a whole bag of chips on the house. I was in uniform and only had a small amount of time for lunch but I'm happy they really support the military like that. Definitely some bonus point from me for that one. read more

Terrible service; No Service. No Bartender, No Servers, only a cook. Got a Draft Beer poured by the cook. Glass was chipped and I only realized after receiving a cut on my top lip. Did not make a Big Deal about this because it was a minor, small cut. The Cook apologies and seeme sincere. Cook got another glass that he inspected before pouring another beer. Was told bartender would return in Five minutes; more like 20-25 minute. Cook made a Delicious shredded beef Burrito with the ingredients he recommended. Came out quickly. Had to walk to kitchen take out window to ask for napkin, then again for eating utensils which I located on a table in the back of dining area. When bartender arrived she was rude and unprofessional. She started giving me a hard time about getting a to go container located on a shelf right on path returning from restroom. Stating that this is not self service and how patrons think they can do whatever and sit wherever they want She didn't want to hear or even listen to my explanation of what happened before she arrived.Then she handed me the check and said you can pay and leave in a threatening tone. HAD Been a patron oof Tito's since they opened in Newport around 1990. No More!! Thanks read more

This was the first Mexican food I ever tasted. Haven't been back in years....but tonight it just feels RIGHT.the chips came out warm and the salsa is as tasty as I remember. The service is on point. They accommodated my desire for a burrito bowl, not shown on menu. Overall it's Tex mex lovin, comforting and delicious. I will overlook the parking lot and location for nostalgic Mexican grub on this island read more

Tito's Cantina - Menu daily specials - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

First off, I'm not actually from this area. I dined at Tito's when I was visiting my sister who works nearby. With that said, I'm not sure what other Mexican establishments Tito's is competing with. Overall, I thought the food was fine, but I had a couple issues. To me, the salsa had an odd taste to it, like something was just off. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's probably my least favorite Mexican restaurant salsa. I also thought it was kind of a ripoff that they charge you extra money if you want to have more than one type of sauce on your enchilada order (like having one red and one green instead of both the same color). I've had other restaurants give me whatever combo of sauces I want at the same price, and they are using the same amount of sauce, so why upcharge for variety? It just doesn't seem right. I prefer some of the Mexican restaurants in Providence, but that's a whole different neighborhood, so perhaps Tito's is as good as it gets in this 'hood. In any case, I think it's simply mediocre. read more

This place came highly recommended when I had to travel to Newport for some business. They are tucked neatly in on the Main Rd and parking is somewhat limited on their left side. I ordered the Baja Fish Taco platter and they were superb. Perfectly cooked fish over a bed of slaw with a nice pico de gallo. Came with some double fried crispy fries and I washed it down with one of their signature Root beers. The best part though was their salsa. Made home made along with their chips I made sure I took some to go because they were that GOOD. You could taste the herbs and how fresh the vegetables used were in the salsa. It had the perfect balance between heat and acid to counteract the saltiness of your typical salsa. I would definitely come back again for lunch next time I am in the Newport area. read more

This is a solidly good American Mexican restaurant. Bar is great. Lots of regular local patrons eating & drinking at the bar. Chips & Salsa server immediately! Service is prompt, and super friendly! I had the MEXICAN COMBO PLATTER: Pork tamale Chicken enchilada Chile Relleno It was a generous portion. It came with refried beans & Mexican rice, side of salsa & sour cream. I really enjoyed it. It wasn't fancy schmancy but a good solid American Mexican combo platter. No canned meat! Interior is *clean* & has great kitschy Mexican memorabilia! It had a very casual relaxed friendly atmosphere. The Margaritas were well made & tasty! I will definitely be patronizing this place when I am in Middletown area. read more

I wish I could give this restaurant more stars because I love their food and drinks, but it's the only reason I keep coming back. On the other hand, customer service is not the best. For whatever reason, there is a lot of employee turnover so you can't build a rapport with anyone. Also, the employees aren't friendly like they used to be. read more
