Toro Taco — Restaurant in Saint John

Stop. Every positive review here is either paid, or the person is such an idiot that you shouldn’t trust them to babysit your pet rock.

There’s just no way it’s genuine.

First, the portions are almost comical. It’s like Impractical Jokers did a routine about seeing how small a portion you can give a customer without them saying something.

Sadly, it’s not like the ingredients were looking so good that I could forgive it. The cilantro in the rice was a nice shade of brownish green, the black beans were so hard I literally spit it out because I thought some foreign object was in my burrito, and the refried beans had developed a nice thick, waxy, crust; Which the server dutifully scooped on to my pitiful portion of meat. I debated just running away.

On the plus side I didn’t get sick, and the staff were friendly. So it’s sucks to rip on them so hard, because they were nice....

You can only get tacos, as a plate for $14.99, it does come with rice. I was hoping just for tacos, a la carte type of thing. I didn't want to make the employee's life difficult so just got the taco plate. Asked for one chicken and one pork taco. I basically got a rice bowl with two soft taco shells in it. As the employee asked what items I wanted he did not put them in the tacos he just put them all over the whole bowl. It was very strange because he did put the meat individually in the tacos. I was so confused. I didn't make any fuss, I got a rice bowl when really all I wanted was a couple tacos. Cilantro was not pulled from stem, that is a pet peeve of mine. Otherwise, food OK, just ingredients thrown together, nothing bad...

I love the location. The mall seems so dead, so although it has that fast food feel, there are lots of tables and chairs around to enjoy the fountain or any event happening on the stage there. We ordered food for our family of five yesterday around 5/6pm. There was one staff so it took a few minutes to all of our items. Which was fine because we were not in a hurry. I ordered the burrito with beans and sweet potato. The refried beans were okay…a bit dry and the guacamole was super salty. Not a fan, especially since I order guacamole with my burrito, that made my meal about $20. My rule of thumb is if I can make it better at home, then it’s not worth it for me. That being said, everyone’s tastes...
