“My family and I were in the mood for Mexican and I happened to find good reviews on Yelp for Freppe's! There is parking in the rear of the restaurant, we walked in through the back and were seated right away. Cute little place looks family ran and operated with a party room upstairs. We started with the sampler appetizer and glad we did. It was so good and enough for the of us 4, it had wings, flautas, wings, & cheese quesadilla. My husband and I shared the Mocajete AMAZING!! Never had veggies mixed in the Mocajete, but to be honest it is a great addition. Portion is huge we both had lunch for the next day! My boys had the Birria tacos and chipotle creamy chicken and shrimp they were very happy with their choices. The only thing that was a little disappointing is the wait staff is more like teenagers so not very attentive; however, for the quality and flavor of the food I'll deal with it. If in the mood for some authentic Mexican cuisine you need to come here!!!!“

“Came here to pick up food for the second time tonight, I can say they have been absolutely amazing both times. Me and my partner got cheese flautas and my aunt got the whiskey burger. The food was exactly what we asked for and was delicious. My partner and I are vegetarian and they have lots of options for us which is awesome. Now the horchata, the large is HUGE and it is so good I didnt even want to share it lol that is how delicious it is. There was a man singing and his voice is great it made me so happy. I definitely will be coming to eat there on my birthday. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant such a hidden gem.“

The atmosphere was really nice and casual. The dining area was semi outdoors with a sliding roof that they will open/close depending on the weather. I'll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone dining in this area.“

“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“

They have a nice variety of beers and the menu looks good , maybe we will try some other items next time . Service was good , the only thing I didn't like much was the vibe in the place , that was a bit blah !“

I saw him sweep, clean tables, fix the floor layout all while helping the customers he had. The food was amazing as always and reasonably priced for the sizing and quality of the food. It was incredible clean and there was a great atmosphere. I highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake Chimis they are the best dessert I think I've ever had! Definitely recommend coming here!“

“Tito's was a cool spot to visit. I love the atmosphere. Parking can be a little difficult, depending on when you go. Their isn't much sitting room inside so it can get tight if it gets crowded. I ordered the Aloha wings and the Chicken quesadilla with sauteed Veggies and my friend ordered the fat Amy. So the wings I really didn't care for. They were fried hard with barely any sauce. Now if u like your wings fried hard you would enjoy them. The chicken quesadilla was amazing. I also got a side of the house made chipotle sauce(which is excellent). Also get the sauteed veggies added. They give it more flavor. When ordering the fat Amy be prepared to take it home. It's a huge taco. They give chips on the side. I would visit again and give the wings another shot. I recommend this place.“
