Titos Tacos Imitator ~ Medina, New York
It seems that Tito’s Tacos has some fans in rural New York state who have started their own version of Tito’s Tacos. Fans and, well, non-fans of Tito’s have duked it out on TACO before with the Tito’s detractors saying the restaurant isn’t authentic Mexican food. So what to think of an “inspired by” Tito’s (complete with a cardboard “Mexican”) in Western New York State?

Original Tito’s in Culver City

The Tito’s Tacos in Western New York is not in Batavia. It’s in Medina. Batavia and Medina are not even in the same county.

This a different Tito. This is Tito the Bandito and it is in Medina, New York, population 6500, not the metropolis that is Batavia.

Tito’s Taco’s in CC are mediocre. Any place that tries to emulate them has got to suck.

i dont understand what the big deal is. medina literally has nothing and this is a good thing. everyone is excited in the area for something new and all people can do is hate. get over it, find something new to talk junk about. these people are trying to do something good for this area.

We just came from lunch there; it was great Mex-Am. A little more $$ than WNY’s famous Mighty Taco, but portions are bigger. A satisfactory change from Rte. 31′s burger places. New and cheery.

Tito’s tacos in Medina is a horrible place to go. Being the “new” place in town, I decided to take the family there for dinner. Upon walking in, we saw the owner and about 6 high school kids behind the counter. They stared at us as if they didn’t know why we were there. We didn’t get greeted at all. We could barely hear the soft-spoken gal behind the register taking our order. The owner had to point to everything she needed to press. The owner himself didn’t even greet us. Not a good way to start a new business. You should be happy people were coming into that dump. The prices are WAY overpriced, not sure how they sleep at night. Didn’t see a grill, didn’t see a fryer…I’m guessing they cook everything in microwaves. The menu is a jumbled mess too. This place has really got to get it together if they are going to imitate an awesome west coast taco joint. I highly doubt they will be in business long.

P.S. The food was not good, nor was it bad. Nothing special about it at all. Save your money and make mexican at home, it’ll surely be better tasting. Will never visit Tito’s Tacos in Medina, NY again.

I liked the food. It tasted fresh, no brown lettuce. It’s definitely nice to have something different. I say give them a break for being new business owners and maybe even a friendly word of advice. This town is so small it’s not like we all don’t somehow know each other. Even if it’s just by face.

to imthatguy, sept 9th entry. They just opened up. bran new computer system. after the first week they all got more used to it. You should give them a break. Not that bad of a price for the portions they give.
I,m sure you couldn’t do any better. You just want to bash on someone.
I have an idea for you, stay home we all will have a better time with out you.
By chance did you wife leave you, couldn’t blame her. she married the SCROOG!!!

Tito’s Tacos of Medina makes the best tacos on the planet. Situated next to the beautiful Oak Orchard Creek, it brought me back to my days of crossing the Rio Grande from Ciudade to El Paso back in the days. I’ll definitely go back for more!!!

this is the best mexican food in the area. it’s not authentic but it’s fresh and tasty. i think the bad review comes from the first week they were open so take it with a grain of salt.

IM totally addicted to titos tacos.I go there at least 3 times a week and i usually get the same thing every time,giant beef burrito,chips and cheese,rice and root beer.They have the best soup and chili in the winter menu and everything is always fresh fresh fresh! Their beef is so good and doesnt have that nasty oily grease that Mighty Sucko has .The owners are always pleasant.I dont care about price when it comes to food, if its good Ill pay anything for it.When I get done eating a mighty taco I wanna barf,no wait,I actaully do barf.when I get done eating a Titos,IM always feeling good about what I ate and most of all im satisfied.Titos Kicks Ass!
