I started going to Titos in 1961 when the location was at the corner. We use to stop on the way back from the beach. It was cheap and really good food. Due to inflation, the cost has really gone up almost to the point that you can go to a sit-down restaurant for the same price.

God bless…. A lot of people around the world work hard at their jobs while we sleep. The majority of people in the world do not realize this reality…. But with these men and women working at the hours when we all sleep…. They provide us all a better tomorrow. Cheers.

Been going to Tito’s since I was a kid with my dad. My dad’s since passed but now I take my kids. Tons of nostalgia. The food still tastes great. An LA institution. Keep on, keepin on, Tito’s.

Goes to show how much our phones listen to our conversations, I was talking to my parents about the Tito’s that was in Stanton and not even 30 minutes later this video pops up in my recommended

My wife grew up in Cali in the 70s and she always raved about it. So when got the opportunity to stop by in LA, I got to try it for the first time and it did not disappoint. I wish I bought a t-shirt to bring back.

The first place my mom took me as youngster in the 1970’s . Classic.

you hear the commercial song, you see the mountains of cheese, you go all the way to culver city, just to taste the worst taco you could’ve made at home for $2 less

Been going here since high school. Not the best tacos in the city, but they are right when they say consistent and fresh. I've never left here not satisfied.

Back in 2005 my moms friend was raving about this place. We had just moved to LA from Guadalajara 3 years prior so I was pumped to finally eat some decent Mexican food. Not even in the ball park.

Tito’s was the most popular restaurant in la for many years. Every day the like was insane. Only pinks hot dogs on la cienega was as busy as Tito’s. Been gone from la for a decade. I came back to try them again and I was surprised how crappy it was.

I used to love it when my parents would take me and my sister there. I love the burritos. I’m 56 now and I use to go there when I was just a little child❤

Tito’s is a Love it or Hate it place. I used to work in Culver City and would go there regularly. Went last month and the prices were through the roof. 4 burritos 4 tacos a side of guacamole sauce and chips was over 70 bucks. I hardly make it to the west side anymore but if I do I’ll be going to Rutt’s Hawaiian instead.

I swear when I went decades ago it was actual shredded beef not that tube of meat paste

[mariogutierrez]

Certainly, willing to try Tito's in the near future, but the tacos look like exactly how they're made - mass produced / machine made.

I miss Tito”s tacos … my family moved back to SoCal after many years …now I can’t wait to take my family to Tito’s Tacos 🌮

[weaseltown]

Kinda unique that one single restaurant has its own food production factory. Usually mom and pop places like this make everything in the restaurant.

[rilkeanheart]

it's so cool to see how much hard work goes into making some of the most overrated slop in a taco shell i've ever had

[eyewin]

Raised on Tito’s! Moved out of state. I’ll be back in December and will be bringing some back!
