Tito's La Especial — Restaurant in Santa Ana

Tacos Al Vapor. This is why you come to Tito’s La Especial. Tacos Al Vapor are a specialty taco that is a Northern Mexico take on Tacos de Canasta. Tacos Al Vapor are nearly impossible to find outside of Mexico and the LA area. I live in the Phoenix area and so far, I have struck out completely trying to find them anywhere in AZ. Tacos Al Vapor are a taco that has a corn tortilla that is bathed or lightly fried in hot chile oil, then filled with a precooked mixture typically of potatoes, beans, Chicharron, or a stewed meat. Then the tacos are layered in steamer or pot and steam cooked for a short bit (15-30 minutes). The taco flavors are totally absorbed and infused throughout the entire taco-shell to filling. Tito’s La especial makes an excellent taco Al Vapor in four flavors: potato, bean, chicken, and beef. My favorites are potato and bean, but I really like the chicken and beef also. Tito’s also makes an excellent Taco Dorado de Carne de res (shredded beef hard taco) and Tostada Especial (shredded beef tostada). The prices at Tito’s are excellent! The value and flavor per dollar spent are off the charts! If you’ve never had a taco Al Vapor, and you live in or are visiting north Orange County, please make the trek to Tito’s and try out this delicious specialty taco.

Some of my favorite items are: Tacos Al Vapor (potato, bean, chicken, or beef) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taco Dorado (hard taco) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tostada Especial (shredded beef tostada) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You should try this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Loved it! Must try I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means: .3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it .7 = This was better the 2nd or last...

Not what you expect. The tacos al vapor are not prepared to satisfy the customer. They are definitely not worth the $2.50 that they cost. The red type of salsa they have to put on the tacos is not good at all. They messed up on our order even when on the receipt it specifically stated that we want cheese to be added to the burrito. They made sure to charge the cheese but did not add it. The burrito had a lot of oil dropping from it too. They prefer quantity over quality to make their money. Think twice before you come...
