Taqueria El Torito

Be careful of
deals. I had been refused by the advertised restaurant twice in the month of February, 2016. One is La Shish Greek and Mediterranean and the other one is Loca Luna Mexican Cuisine. Both restaurants claimed that they do not have contract with
.
My advise is don’t buy any deals from
, if u bought already, call before u go

I Drive all around town as a courier working for the last 15 years and tried to stop and sample tacos wherever I can. I have tried many many places and rarely am I ever very impressed. That being said, I must say that the pastor tacos earlier were some of the very best I have ever eaten anywhere. I wasn’t too impressed with the salsa Roja, but was very impressed with the salsa verde. It was served more like a green salsa stew. I asked for lots of salsa verde because I didn’t realize how big the containers were, so I had quite a bit left over. It was so good I drank it all. If I had liked the salsa Roja more, I would have given it 5 stars.

Absolutely spectacular! Fresh food, hand made corn tortillas… what could be better???

So I have been here once before for breakfast tacos which were great! Now I figured I would hit the place up for lunch and checkout there regular tacos.
Barbacoa good flavor, but nothing to write home about.
Beef fajita was awesome, crispy yet tender and good flavor
Pollo (I usually don’t like chicken at real taqueria because they put the least amount of effort in the flavor) nice smokeiness here
Carnitas, actually real carnitas here… flavor, meh… leaves a lot to be desired.
Pastor, ok but not great
Green salsa very fresh and tangy
Red salsa is sweet tasting
Overall not bad. If you have a choice between this place and the place next door… this should be your first choice.

Typical taqueria, nothing special. The food was decent, salsa was good and fresh. Service was excellent.

This Taqueria it’s still open and they have authentic Mexican food! The tacos are really good and the ingredients are fresh.

the food was great not so much the salsas and the chips. overall the experience was great i will highly recommend this place my Wife and I will return soon

Just had the BEST Mexican dinner and ran home to tell you about it. This place is located in a small strip mall with other Hispanic stores and restaurants. Don’t let the location deter you and do not confuse Taqueria El Torito with Taco Rico which occupies the opposite end of the same building.
We were the only Anglos in the place. The staff barely spoke English but were attentive and friendly. We were served chips and given 3 types of salsa and they were warm not cold like Tex-​Mex. Two were red and one green. The first salsa was smokey and spicy, the other sweet with medium heat and the green one was mild. There is nothing I can compare it to but 2 of the 3 were good. I ordered cheese enchiladas and a barbacoa taco. The barbacoa was tender and seasoned perfectly. The enchiladas had the perfect ratio of filling to tortilla topped with a brown sauce. It was served with guacamole, rice, refried beans and chopped tomato, cilantro and onion. Yum. My husband had a whole fried catfish and his meal was served with rice, beans, french fries, and warmed tortillas. The fish was fried golden and was very flavorful. The rice and beans were average but the main entrees were above average. I am definitely going back for more.
