El toro maniaco taqueria — Restaurant in Plainfield

Wow! Just wow. Being from Los Angeles, one could say I have a high standard for “street” style Tacos. In essence, it’s a tortilla, your choice of meat, onions, cilantro and a salsa if one chooses. Not hard to do improperly, but I digress.

When I walked in, I wasn’t sure if they were open for business, there was one customer seated at a table and four guys huddled behind the counter/grill area. As I walked up to the counter looking around for the menu, a gentleman that worked there asked if I needed a menu jokingly and said they don’t have one. He went on to explain my choices (burritos, tacos, quesadillas etc.

I ordered 4 tacos (2 el pastor (pork), 2 carne asada (steak)), chips, guacamole and pico de guillo. When the food first came out I could tell my the meats appearance it was cooked fresh. It smelled amazing as well. I tasted the salsa verde before using any to determine the spice…this salsa had so much depth to it, I couldn’t believe it. The tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. The chips were made fresh in house same as everything else.

This isn’t your fancy Mexican restaurant, but it is heart and soul. 10/10 recommend and hope I’m in the...
