Asadero Toro — Restaurant in Phoenix

The horchata was decent, the order taker was polite. I ordered the lunch special of the day: a barbacoa torta with rice and beans and the special tasted good especially for $6. I just didn't like that the torta was just telera and barbacoa meat...no condiments whatsoever. I need at least a little mayo or some drippings to soak that thing. I added some salsa and 'vamonos'.

I also ordered a birria de chivo for my aunt who is at the hospital down the street and the portion was great for $8.50. It came with all the condiments in the book and tortillas. I didn't try it but my aunt was having a hard time eating it because the pieces of meat were very chunky/thick. She said it was okay but 1) she's ridiculous picky and 2)she's fighting ovarian cancer in her last stages and can't really eat much of anything without vomiting so who knows.

If I ever happen to be in the area again, I wouldn't mind checking out some more of...

My favorite Mexican restaurant used to be La Tolteca in Phoenix. (closed down). So a few months ago I remembered always seeing this place, thinking wth I'mma try it. Well to my great pleasure the food was delicious. I'm simple so I ordered the birria w/ rice and beans. That was regular price. 9 bucks no drink. Went today at lunchtime and they had that same combo for $6.24, that's with a drink. I went inside to order, the place was clean and they had a fresh salsa bar with cucumbers, radishes, limes, cabbage and a few different salasa. The combo made 5 hefty tacos. The rice and beans are sooo good. I'm not a fan of veggies in my rice and their beans don't taste like Fredrickos. Long story short 😆😆😆😆. I would eat here...

I would eat here every day if I could. Carne asada de perfección (that's perfection for the gringos), super-friendly service, a robust toppings selection with LIMES (looking at you, all the -bertos and -icons and your lemons)

Inside has lots of seating and tables that can be combined for groups, friendly staff, a comfortable environment. The drive thru is pretty quick for made-to-order.

Not for nothing, but I went once and something trivial was forgotten in my bag. Two weeks later, I went back and the person at the drive thru recognized and remembered me and immediately apologized for the mistake. Who remembers a person from the drive thru in the middle of dinner rush, two weeks later?
