Tito's Tacos (Culver City, CA)

Restaurant: Tito's Tacos
Address: 11222 Washington Place Culver City, CA 90230
Phone: (310) 391-5780

Hey, what do you know? Tito's has a jingle! Check it out on their website. Ok, I didn't say it was good, but hey, it's also bi-lingual! :)

Well, this is the second in my series of places that are must-eat in the Westside. Surprise! It's another mexican restaurant.

This is one of those places that I can't fully confirm the source of its devout following, just that it has one -- and a big, loyal one.

My personal favorite order is two tacos, one with cheese, one without (you get a TON of cheese, so if you want to cut down, split the cheese between the two -- it'll also save you $.40) and a cheese enchilada. Tito's makes their tacos with shredded beef and it's really beyond description. It just becomes addictive. Try it and you'll see. The enchilada is pure gooey goodness and almost functions as a fantastic dip with your bevy of chips. Combined with the light red semi-chunky salsa and you have heaven. The chips are fairly thick and they don't keep well, but they work really well with the meal.

Other favorites include the burritos (I love the pure beef version, which is billed as chile con carne -- large braised cubes of meat in a really great smoky thick brown sauce) and tamales (I used to get these all the time, but they started messing with them, first using pork (I think), then going to cheese and green chiles, and now offering a beef and a chicken version, which I haven't tried).

In any case, it's a great place to try and don't let the long lines at all hours of the day dissuade you. It's worth it.
