Los Pitayos

I arrived to Troy, OH late on a Sunday. After trying to dine at a half a dozen other area restaurants and finding them all closed, I finally found an open one, Los Pitayos.
I was seated immediately, and service was solid, but creepy. Throughout my meal, I would find the server staring at me from afar. For dinner, I always try the mole sauce when visiting a new Mexican restaurant. At Los Pitayos, I discovered a terrible, horrific mole sauce. The worst I have ever tasted. It smelled great, like chocolate. However, it tasted like the packaged Lipton soup. Super salty.
The accompanying tortillas were warm, but hard as a rock. They ripped a part when folded.
The side guacamole salad was a solid teaspoon of guac on shredded lettuce.
On my next visit to Troy, I’ll arrive earlier or eating at the Waffle House.

Well I don’t know what all the fuss is about this place but when we got there for lunch we had limited time for lunch. We all made our orders and it took forever and there was no one there, and some of us had to take it on the go. The beans were runny, and the portion were small and the salsa was not good at all. Although the chips seemed home made. And the authenticity is not there. I am from Texas and this is not authentic. So I highly don’t recommend this place.

By far the worst Mexican food I’ve had. Dont know what the fuzz is about and people talk about autyentic mexican food, Really!!! Atrocious service and have never heard or seen a Mexican restaurant that has hard shell tacos. Taco bell is way better than this location. Don’t waste your money here. Doesnt even deserve a star.

I don’t feel this place gets the recognition it deserves, although it seems to be catching on more than in years past. Most recommendations for Mexican food in Troy, are for that «other» restaurant downtown, but this place is much more authentic. The dining room is large and they also have a large bar area. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, and the food is very good. They have an extensive menu and they’ve recently been offering special menu items that are changed regularly.

After yesterday’s pitiful meal at El Sombreros (see review) the visit here was enjoyable. The food was good by Ohio standards, OK by New York standards. The flan was nice and smooth not custard style! :) The chips were nice and crispy; the only thing needing help was the «salsa» had no chilantro or onions and certainly could be more picante; but as the manager explained to me «customers are all «Gringo» can’t make the salsa too spicy. Certainly look forward to eating here again on my next visit to the Troy area. And yes they do accept Amex! :)

Love this place! Best Mexican food in Troy! We get the fajitas for two & it feeds our family of 3 plus leftovers.
The fried ice cream is pretty stellar, too.
