It's not bad. The food portions are generous and prices are decent. They are not an uppity place and you can get some good food and drinks here. There isn't much parking so it's probably not the optimal place for large groups, but for parties of 4 or families this wouldn't be a bad option. You're not walking into a five star restaurant but it is an okay place. read more

When you go here, you have to know that this isnt authentic mexican food. This is American food with some mexican inspiration. If you go here hoping for something other than a half pound of cheese on top of ground beef and tortillas than you are at the wrong place. That being said I don't mind this place. Nachos, salad, burritos, enchiladas are all as they are described on the menu and nothing more. You aren't going to leave saying wow but at the same time it is fairly cheap, large portions and one of the few non take-out only american-mexican places around. I would choose this place over applebees. read more

Hadn't been here in years - not since they converted to table service. We were greeted quickly and told to sit wherever we like. Fresh, warm chips and salsa were delivered within one minute to our table. They have a selection of sodas bottled for Tito's, so I tried the Tito's root beer and it was great. I had the Tito Burrito with shredded beef. It was very good. Service was quick and efficient - though not very personable - but that's fine with me at a taco stand for lunch. I don't agree with many of the negative comments in previous reviews. There was no "funny smell" and it was WAY better than a Taco Bell. read more

I should start by admitting that when we talk dinner I usually say, "I don't like Mexican." Of course, my fiance likes to make sad eyes and tell me he wants to go to Tito's. I'm the chick who opts for Mexi fries instead of beans and rice. No one seems to mind that I scoot the little piles of lettuce and tomato off the top of whatever I order (did I also tell you I don't do vegetables). I never dip into any sauce that's on my plate unless it's mole. The food is always good, I've never had a margarita I didn't love, and most of the servers are great. Two we have encountered have been exceptional. For me, that's always the kicker, I want great service. Anyone who pays attention to my little one generally scores extra points in my book (oh, and she indicates the chips and "sauce" (salsa) are great). read more

We eat here often, mainly lunch and takeout due to Covid times. Consistently good, fair prices. The owner himself happened to prepare today: chicken & rice bowl, beef enchilada, a chile rellejno and tamala. All excellent as always and our family knows good Mexican food. Many Thanks! Can't wait for our next visit. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I went there with my girlfriend and my parents about two weeks ago. We got the jalapeno poppers for an app, different entrees, and a pitcher of margarita. Poppers were hot and spicy, but no too spicy. We make them for family events now. The best entree was that fish quesedilla (cod and spinach). I have had it multiple times since then. The margarita pitcher was AWESOME! You get 4 margaritas for the price of 3. I don't know what tequila they use, but it makes a huge difference. My mom really liked it, if you catch my drift. Haha. GREAT FOOD, DRINK, SERVICE, AND ATMOSPHERE!!! read more

Oh yum, this was a good find for a quick lunch. Yum empanadas and taco... Good service. Something fun about the chips yummy. Coming back many more times. read more

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

The first couple times I went to Tito's I didn't exactly love it. The service sucked and the food came out wrong. After moving back to the area we decided to give it another try. I love this place now. The food comes out quick and it's good. I wouldn't order drinks from here because they're way overpriced, but that's Newport for you. The fried ice cream is literally the best fried ice cream I've ever had, definitely get some. They bring out chips to start the meal, which is nice. I usually order the tacos, which are good. The staff seems to be a lot better now than it used to be. The meal prices seem to vary, which is kind of odd. I've gone there a few times and ordered the exact same thing, yet the total always seems to be different. Overall a good, quick, cheap (minus drinks) place to go and grab a bite to eat. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Great place to eat. Small, not fancy, but the food was great, and our waitress was very attentive. Highly recommended. Chips and dip!!! Authentic. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Chicken tacos were pretty good, chips and salsa are a must! Taco Bell is next door so if you have a few extra minutes skip Taco Bell.

"Unappetizing." That was my fellow diners' impression of Tito's Cantina. That is why I am giving two stars. My words of caution here: order carefully and wisely. This was the tale of different experiences. If I was basing this review solely on my experience, I would give it three stars. I ordered the chicken and black bean quesadilla with a side of guacamole, and I may have gotten a little too excited when I saw Bacardi Oakheart behind the bar and immediately ordered it with Coke. My drink was strong and my food was good; however, I have had much better guacamole, and it is pretty difficult to mess up a quesadilla. The service would have prevented me from going four stars. We shadowed the doorway for a good five minutes without a hostess coming over to greet and seat us -- despite the "Please wait to be seated" sign. I noticed four stools at the bar, so we seated ourselves there. Every milestone of the meal after that was painfully slow, especially for the bar. And, there was a bit of confusion with the bill at the end of the meal when the waitress couldn't figure out how to split it between cash and a credit card. This seems like a great spot for a couple of drinks, but, again, be careful what you order off the menu. It will make or break your experience. read more

Had to come out here for a midterm exam in a different campus for school and noticed this Mexican spot. I love Mexican so why not stop in and try it... I sat myself down as i was told and the waitress came right over and asked me if I wanted anything to drink I got the blue moon margarita which is delicious and strong. She also brought me these tasteless chips and salsa ... they taste like they are from stop and shop. I ordered the macho nachos and it came out really quick! It was really good but has no vegis on it ... probably like three pieces of tomatoes and four onions ... but it tasted good. Service was also good read more

Tito's Cantina - A blue moon margarita! Very delicious!! - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I was craving Mexican so bad and my friend suggested this place. I knew it wasn't going to be authentic but I was hoping it would have hit the spot. Boy was I wrong. The place smelled funky when we walked in there. Long story short, service was ok but I honestly wished I had Taco Bell next door. read more

Got here took 10 minutes for my drink 20 to order no pepper jack cheese not sure if I'd call this Mexican food

The absolute worst Mexican food I have ever had in MY LIFE!! I've had bad in other places but I can't begin the disgust of the food. PLEASE GO TO Taco Bell or get a Mexican edition hungry man frozen dinner! I had a shredded beef burrito with refried beans and rice. The rice was a covered in a cold tomato paste and crunchy. The meat (if you want to call it that) tasted like old microwaved smoked brisket. I guess in Rhode Island this must seem authentic. Wow maybe I should open a cheap taqueria and charge what they charge! read more

Tito's Cantina - Horrible tastes old and and not worth 15 dollars!! Please go elsewhere! - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I'll make this quick: Cons: 1) Very slow service 2) chicken fingers are subpar, overpriced for the meager serving of meat you get 3) My glass of top shelf scotch tasted watered down... 4) Margarita was 10$, way overpriced. 5) Rice tasted old/stale. Pros: 1) Large margaritas read more

This place is just NOT GOOD, we stopped by because we wanted to have some good Mexican breakfast but first of all the neither the cooks nor the servers are Mexican, My friend asked for a coffee and the mean looking waitress said "I don't have any but I can make some" WTF?, then asked for a sprite and she brings me one which is flat, when I told her about it she just turns around and brings me a bottled sprite, not even taking away the one I didn't like. We order carne asada burritos and so far it was the worst plate I have ever seen and tasted in my entired life!! I'm not joking. DONT COME HERE! save yourself some money and a trip to the hospital. read more

Tito's Cantina - The worst carne asada burrito, the meat is not even carne asada. - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Worst food. Worst service. I wish I wasn't hungry when I drove by and remembered it was a dump the first time I went and its still a total bummer I did not want to put star because it sucked read more

The food is always good. The fish tacos are the bomb. If they could do a better chile relleno, I would go another star. I only will do pickup though. Customers don't wear masks even when there is nothing on the table. People sitting there yapping like there is no COVID-19 to worry about. I know it is tough to enforce mask discipline without losing a certain type of customer. But, it doesn't look like they even try. Bartender and servers all were wearing masks though. Good, consistent food. read more

Jalapeño poppers were good. Tortilla soup was decent- much better after I added hot sauce. The service was mediocre- forgot our chips and salsa and side of guacamole and she was texting on her phone most of the time. read more

Tito's Cantina - Pomegranate Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Been here a few times. Place has good options for vegetarians. Quantity of the food is better then restaraunt's in Newport for sure. I also enjoy their cocktails. read more

The bartender this Sunday went above and beyond, so kind. Great chicken mole and great atmosphere

Average Mexican chain type place. Prices were reasonable, service was friendly but not above average. I had a pork taco that was great but the chicken taco was a little bland; my Uncle enjoyed the fish taco platter which did look good. Chips tastes like cold, out of the bag chips, but salsa wasn't bad. read more

Yeahhhh they're ok. Def best Mexican this side of providence... Wait. Scratch that. I kinda like El Sapo aka freaky burrito on broadway better. BUT I'm not sure if el Sapo has margaritas.. It's Tex Mex! ...GREAT SALSA... (but it ain't california) read more

I ordered the Fiesta Fajitas and they came wrapped in cold tortillas... which was strange since fajitas are usually sizziling! The sides were cold and the chips and salsa were from a bag. I was pretty sad since I really enjoy mexican food. The service was good though! read more

Not so good if you're used to authentic Tex/Mex or Mexican food. Good if you don't know any different. The enchiladas aren't made with good quality cheese. Rice lacks flavor. Also, never received our queso despite her writing it down. However, this place gives one free chips/salsa unlike others. read more

Just had a burrito and must confess that I had very high hopes for it. The staff were very friendly and the vibe in the place is great. Unfortunately, the burrito was very underwhelming. Being from SOCAL and having spent some time traveling in Mexico, there are things to expect from this common street food. They miss the mark on a filling burrito and over stuff with fried onions... Not something that usually appears in the Mexican ones. The 'Carne Asada' was not that. It was sliced steak. It was more a fajita than a burrito. I like local establishments so I'll probably be back to try a margherita but unlikely that I'll eat more. read more

Much improvement since the last time I went. The staff was attentive and the food came out quickly. I was very happy with the chimi and the kids loved the quesadilla and kid burrito. read more

This food was not good. Ordered hard shell ground beef taco and I swear the shell came from the store. The rice was horrible. So upset. The kids liked their quesadilla meals. The waitress was great. There was a long black hair in my corn, there was 1 lady near kitchen that had black hair. Cute atmosphere inside. read more

I thought the burritos would taste much better. My friend and I were not very impressed with the service. Our waitress forgot to bring us part of the order and forgot to bring our sauce to the table. Sorry but we would of been better off eating at the Taco Bell next door. Such a shame for an adorable restaurant. It seems they need more people at the front of the house for dinner time. read more

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

This is a solid spot to get some tex-mex. I like it here because they have a big menu and so there is something for everyone. I like the three amigos - the three enchiladas. Definitely go with a friend or two so you can order a pitcher of margaritas. The staff is always really friendly and always willing to do anything they can to make your evening enjoyable. read more

The outside sign says, "1/2 price apps, 4-6 pm". We go inside and it's Sunday to Thursday. Come on owners, you can make 7 days a week. It's dead in here on a Friday. read more

Okay so a group of friends and I went to Tito's for dinner not expecting much from a Mexican food restaurant in Rhode Island. The chips are not made in the kitchen and the salsa is unfavorable and mediocre at best. I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito and was very disappointed. The steak was not marinated in a traditional Carne Asada mixture, which means no spice or flavor. It was doused in sour cream cream and the vegetables were basic and also unfavorable. If you are vesting from the Southwest stay away from Tito's. Also my buddy got the Popey's casadia and took one bite and almost threw-up. The chicken was under cooked and unetable. The only good thing about Tito's was the servous. The waitress (Danielle) was nice and very understanding. I do not recommend the eatery to anybody. read more

My friend and I wanted to have a mommy margarita night and decided to go down the street to Tito's. I hadn't been in a few years but what I remembered, I liked. When we arrived, it was fairly busy and the hostess told us we could sit at the bar while we waited for our table. We went to the bar and ordered two margaritas...very expensive ones at that. We waited about about ten minutes and had not received our drinks, though the people down the other end of the bar who sat after us already had theirs. The hostess came over and told us our table was ready. We told her that we hadn't received our drinks yet. She assured us that our waitress would bring them to us shortly. Another ten minutes later, the waitress comes over to our table with menus only. We ask about our drinks and she responds that they will be right over. Another ten minutes goes by and she comes back empty handed again to take our order. I'm thinking we should just cut our loses and get out if there but we stayed. She takes our order and before she leaves I ask her to get our drinks and put in an order for the next round as it surely won't be there for another thirty minutes. Our drinks FINALLY arrive and they were AWFUL! They clearly were made incorrectly and could have gotten the whole place wasted. They had at least five times the amount of tequila in it and we saw the bartender sniggering while we drink them. The rest pretty much the same...food was terrible and we were both afraid to eat it for fear that someone did something to it. The final insult was not realized until the next day. We had paid half in cash and have by credit. My friend added a tip on the credit card receipt and we left...a bit buzzed due to the horrible drinks we forced ourselves to finish..,they were so expensive! The next day, my friend looked at the receipt a d realized that the waitress only put twenty of the fifty dollars of cash on the bill and put the rest of the amount on the credit card. So, she got tipped twice for terrible service! She stole from us!!! Even worse is I know this girl! Will never go back! Ever! read more

This was my first time at Tito's. While it was busy and short staffed; me, myself, someone who works food service, I understand, however; their wait staff (2/4) were very unprofessional and extremely rude. We were sat and the woman took our drink order. She walked by several times to tell us to "be patient and she'll be right over to take our order"....6 times before passing us off to another waitress (who was great). We were there for an hour and a half before our table was able to order our food, meanwhile everyone else (parties of 2, even) were given their drinks and food before we were even acknowledged. We asked to talk to a manager, who was extremely rude because she "was called in on her day off." First off; today was the parade in Newport; anticipating a busy restaurant is key and being the manager, you should be there anyway so that's no excuse for your piss-poor attitude, thank you. Also, if you're short staffed, the manager is obligated to come in. That's not the problem of the patrons who come into your establishment. If your customers have a complaint, YOU TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, you do not give them an attitude. Just an fyi. Might wanna take notes because clearly you don't understand how to run or manage a resturaunt or even know how to be professional, and then to come back and tell us that "youd appreciate us not saying bad things while others are eating"??? Are you serious? We're paying customers! We're dissatisfied and upset and you have the nerve. Wow. You need a new profession. Preferably not with people.‍ also dont assume your customers are complaining because they want something taken off their check. We weren't children, do not speak to us like that. (Still to the manager). And to the lady who's name we didnt catch but has highlights in her hair; you were also awful. 6 times you passed us???? Multiple tables got your attention??? Multiple tables got their orders before we did even though we were there before them??? Yall "take care of the bigger tables first" is a huge crock of . You take tables as they come in, especially if they're ready to order...not an hour and a half later BEFORE you pass us off to another waitress. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Great shrimp tacos. Good location. Nice sit down restaurant with really good margaritas.

We arrived and there was one other couple at the restaurant. Our group consisted of 5 adults and 4 children. Our order took two hours. Multiple items were wrong. One of the dishes took so long, I had to take it to go, and when I opened the fish tacos, they were shrimp. The server kept apologizing and said that they were short staffed. I felt sorry for her, but the entire staff was slow and unorganized. It was a terrible experience and we will never be back. read more

Hands down the WORST burrito of my life ); went with hopes of decent taste and turned out to be really disappointing, it's like they just threw in the ingredients and wrapped it up, or at least tried to wrap it like a traditional burrito. Rice was weak *insert broken heart emoji Go for the ice cream and churros read more

The food was cold, the service colder. Would not go back. Cook asked waitress if the customer wanted hot or mild. She shrugged like it didn't matter even though I was right there. Abysmal. It's a tourist trap that is used to getting customers by default. read more

Literally not a Mexican restaurant. The service was good and friendly, a tad slow in the kitchen, but I ordered the dueling enchiladas. My thought that I would get two really good flavorful sauces, and instead I got the wrong filling, very little sauces and everything was boring! The rice (my favorite part) tasted like it was just mixed with tomatoe paste :-( The enchiladas with the Verde sauce and the red chile sauce were missing so much flavor, it reminded me of a dumbed down version for picky American eaters that don't like spice. My recommendation is for this place to step it up and don't be so generic! Untill then go to Leo's market on broadway for some good tasting tacos. :-) read more
