El Torito Taqueria & Mezcal House — Restaurant in Modesto

Michoacan style Mexican cuisine Fair pricing! $1.50 tacos & every other item seems reasonable considering this is a brick & mortar not a truck

The tacos, chicken & beef were clean & flavourful. The corn tortillas were delicious. Not overly soft or hard. Pretty straight forward

Typically off put by being charged for chips & salsa but I will pay again & again here.

Mix all together, add to tacos, eat separately... whatever, so great

The owners are very kind & accommodating. The only drinks are bottled including water. There is beer. Will come back again :) Thank y’all, with...

We simply ordered TACOS. then it gets better, seems they ran out of ice and tequila so the ONLY waiter runs to go get more supplies. I suggest you come back when there is NOBODY inside and you’ll eventually get good Service and your food...

What an amazing find! My sister and I are in town to visit family and decided to go get some quick drinks with our aunt and step dad who are also visiting. With a random google we found this wonderful spot! Great atmosphere, friendly staff AND not only were DELICIOUS DRINKS but they had such character. We came on a night where they were decked out for Halloween in the main room and prepping for there soon to be annual haunted house. It was very impressive. Although they were still working on the haunted house they definitely had my aunt and I screaming on the way to the restroom. We will definitely be recommending and returning when we...
