I love this place. I go pick up Tacos about every other day. They are cheap for $1. They have plenty of meat in them. My fiancee loves the sauces he. Puts all of them on his tacos. Lol. We both love the tacos here. I'm gonna have to try other things that I can see on the menu it's very clear to understand even if you dontbspeak Spanish. Best Tacos in town. 5 yrs later I still go here went recently on my birthday my choice. I usually get Tacos. I tried something new the nachos weren't very good seems like fake cheese. Otherwise the other ingredients were good. The sopes aren't as good as I've had. The Chilles Rellenos were a for sure never again. I had a hard time trying to ask the waitress for salad dressing. She brought back another salad. I had to pull it up on my phone to show her. She was nice though. We weren't happy with most of the food. However the Tacos are STILL DELICIOUS and I LOVE LOVE ALL THE SAUCES AND NEW HABANERO SAUCE. I WOULD GO AGAIN AND GET TACOS AND SAUCES FOR SURE.

You can't order the meal how you want it! I can't eat onions, the manager doesn't care. When I called for seasoned pork burrito no onion no pineapple I got it anyway. I was told I can order it but that's not how we make it.the manager you see in the picture don't make a customer who has been there from the time they opened the restaurant, before she got there,happy. The last 2 weeks I asked for seasoned pork burrito,yet didn't get it. She has been told by manager @ the market ,it doesn't make sense. I've had to get my money back before. How can management not want business that eats @ least 45 Saturdays a year upset. I get a burrito ,I buy sauce,& menudo . So if you want to eat @ el torrito you have to eat it as they give it to you... On the menu I don't see pineapple anywhere & they wasn't made with pineapple when they first opened. Taqueria Mexico don't give onion if you don't want it.

I was pretty excited about trying this place out based on the high rating. The prices were your typical prices for Mexican restaurants but expected good food in return. I m sad to say the least, that this restaurant did not meet my expectations. The agua frescas were pretty good, but that's about as far as I can go. I don't know if you can see from my picture but the meat was way over cooked and was super dry and hard. The flour tortillas that were brought to me were super chewy and elastic. I had a real hard time finding a good piece that was soft. It was definitely a big serving size, but I rather have gotten a smaller portion with alot better taste. The rice was a bit bland but soft. The beans were ok. Overall I feel I could have gotten better food at a food truck. I don't think I'll go back again anytime soon. Hopefully the next time I come here my experience will be alot better.

Today September 2 2018 I walked into El Torito to enjoy my lunch. The visit started just fine we ordered our food and my friend even helped the waitress who kept dropping things. I didn’t mind it as much as I waited longer for my food but what I didn’t enjoy about my visit was as I was packing my meal to go I find a black short strand of hair which wasn’t mine because I have blonde hair. When I brought this to the attention of the waitress I got a response of “ I’m sure the manager will talk to you” then a woman who doesn’t understand English came to tell my friend not me the Person who had hair on the meal that I wouldn’t have to pay. Then as I was paying for the tacos my friend ate, the cashier threw an attitude my way as I suggested to just charge 5 on my card to pay and leave. She held my card and had a discussion with about 2 other ladies who wanted to know what was going on. Then the cashier insisted on opening the cash register and tossing me fifty cents. Throughout my visit the one part that made me write this review more than the other parts was how the cashier tossed me change that I didn’t need done and the attitude I was given. The cashier kept telling the girl next to her in Spanish “I know he’s saying something bad what is he saying .” The whole situation was not handled correctly in my eyes. I will not eat here again. I would like to be contacted by...

I love their food it’s really good but I refuse to eat here anymore. Every time I go in there I get an iffy vibe but I ignore it because their food is really good. However the breaking point for me was when I called and did an online order. Yes I should have asked for chips and queso over the phone when I initially put in my order but I didn’t think about it until I got to the restaurant. I asked could I purchase an order of chips and queso and the lady told me that there were no more chips but as I was waiting on my order I seen the waitress continually bringing out free chips for those who were dinning in. A couple weeks after that I tried to put in a call in order and she put me on hold. I was on hold waiting for 10 minutes while I heard her taking others orders that was in the store. It was even a point where she stopped taking orders and then started again. I hung up and and when I called back all of 4 times, it was like their phone was off the hook all four times I called back. I don’t know if this is a usual thing for establishments but I don’t like when establishments act weird towards costumers, especially towards customers who come more than 3...

Went here a few weeks ago w/ my family. Worst dine in experience we‘ve had. Our chicken fell on the floor as the server sat the plate down and she told us not to worry about it and she’ll bring us a new one, we gave her the old chicken back but when we got the bill she was trying to charge us for two chickens. Any other restaurant would’ve comped the chicken and took care of the customer but this place here instead tried to humiliate my family. The server went around telling the whole restaurant that we were trying to leave without paying and locked the doors/called the police while telling us that she can give us the other piece of chicken from out the trash so we can pay for both. When the police arrived we explained the situation that we had never ate the chicken and it fell on the ground, we were paying for what we ate not for what fell on the ground. I know they were upset and embarrassed because the cops told them to stop lying and to remove the chicken off the bill so I can pay. How embarrassing to call the police thinking they’ll be on your side just for them to...
