El Torito — Restaurant in Dothan

This place is hidden gem! It's not fancy, there aren't very many tables and the restaurant is actually in the back. Do not come with a large party! In fact, i wouldnt come with any more than 4. There won't be anyone to tell you what to do or where to sit. They bring chips out, but there's a salsa bar that you get your own salsa from I didn't try them all, but got the one that appeared to be the mildest. To me, it was still really hot, but had amazing flavor. My beverage choice was a pineapple soda, maybe? Not exactly sure, but it was very refreshing!

Now for the meal I ordered the Quesabirria, which is tacos. Birria is apparently beef that has been cooked with amazing spices. This meal comes out as tacos with the Birria meat and a bunch of melted cheese on tortillas that have been cooked in a pan with the contents. They serve it with a bowl of the Birria juice and it is amazing! Does not come with sides, but I didn't think it needed any. I was full!

I will definitely...

El Torino in Dothan, Alabama! Wow!

I wish I could have eaten more but I only had so much space to pack it in! 4) I loved being able to walk into a space and immediately feel like I needed to have my passport stamped. It was like taking a mini trip to an off the beaten path portion of Mexico. ¡Gracias! To the amazing staff for a great experience! I can’t...

It’s a taqueria in the back of a grocery store. You can’t compare service to a full service restaurant. If you want that experience go to the other location by pinch a penny. Service is fine. Not overly friendly, but polite and prompt. Waitress stayed on top of my rounds of modelo and my boyfriend’s coke. Our food came quickly and it was perfect. I got tripa and lengua tacos, boyfriend got chorizo. The chorizo is objectively better here and it feels like we get more meat on the tacos. They also did a cute remodel recently and it looks similar to the bigger location. I actually prefer the smaller location in the grocery. Less crowded, less loud. It’s genuinely the best Mexican...
