" I've been coming to Tito's for years, and while I generally love their food, I did have a letdown recently. My favorite Tacos al Vapor were a bit drier than usual, which was disappointing. However, I've had excellent experiences in the past, so I plan to give them another chance soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" It had been a while since I last visited and I'm so glad I came back! The Tacos al Vapor are still as good as I remember. I recommend trying the beef version with some of their hot salsa. It's so good being in a place that feels like home. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My only complaint is that the restaurant is quite small, which can lead to long waits—especially on weekends. However, the food is absolutely worth it! The tacos al vapor are fantastic and bursting with flavors. They also offer a buy 4, get 1 free deal that makes it even more appealing! " (*Curated Review*)

Though the service can be a bit slow sometimes, it’s always worth the wait. The ambiance is comfortable and welcoming. Every visit just reminds me why I keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)
