$2 taco Tuesday! I got 2 tacos, one Cali soft taco and one crunchy taco. I got the Cali with Al pastor and a crispy taco with shredded chicken. Both were good! Their salsas are also a good spice level. The green is spicy and the red is even spicier! I live nearby so I want to come back to try more tacos and/or their specials they have throughout the week. They also have a drive thru, which I used to bring my food home. Great local taco spot! read more

Great place for Mexican food in Bellflower. They are really cranking out delicious tacos & burritos with a great guacamole (a sign of a good Mexican restaurant). We always get our order quickly and are never disappointed with the quality of their food. Additionally the staff is on their game, always friendly and getting the orders out quickly. read more

I would not come here even if they paid me. The food was cold and tasted expired. Ordered 2 tacos and couldn't even get past the first one. Tasteless and dry. I would not recommend eating here. read more

Amazing service !! We will definitely be back ! We ran the Downey 5K this morning! And it was a bummer because my results didn't show so my boyfriend treated me to breakfast this morning to make me feel better because I'm a winner in his heart :( I hope that Downey fixes the problem with the barcode for the next race! I got the burrito here and I'm excited to try it. It's delicious I hear and I like the location of the spot. It's really nice. read more

El Torazo has become one of my go-to spots -- this place never misses! Every daily special I've tried has been absolutely on point: fresh, flavorful, and always a solid deal. The inside seating is always clean and well-kept too, which makes the whole experience even better. My favorite? The 3-queza taco plate. Absolute fire -- packed with flavor, perfectly crisped, and ridiculously satisfying. If you want amazing food at prices that make you do a double take, El Torazo is the spot. read more

El Torazo - Lemonade - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellflower, California

The only reasons I even stopped by El Torazo were: 1) I was taking a walk around next door T. Mayne Thompson Park 2) I saw a sign that advertised street tacos for $1.50 each after 3 PM every day, and it just so happened to be after 3 PM at the time 3) I needed to use the restroom, and the restrooms at the park appeared to be closed While a couple of my Yelp friends did give 1 star, I was willing to assume that risk and try just one taco to support this business that I hadn't even heard of before my arrival at Thompson Park. There was plenty of signage on the exterior windows advertising the daily specials for each day of the week. I went on a Sunday, and the Sunday special was a cheeseburger for $7.95. Seemed like a decent deal, but I just wanted a quick snack since I was planning on eating pizza later that evening. Also, I wasn't sure if the extra 'u' after 'g' on the sign would have meant a nuance or some other deviation from a standard cheeseburger. When I arrived, there wasn't a customer inside. Actually, there was someone napping at the table in the corner, but it turned out to be an employee on break. Sleeping on the job? lol Anyways, a female cashier was ready to take my order, but I wanted to ask about the $1.50 street tacos deal that was being advertised. She recited the list of tacos for that deal, and then I realized they were listed on the top left corner of the menu! I went with the asada taco. The other tacos on their menu were over $3, so I thought $1.50 would have been a great deal. While the cashier was ringing up my order of the asada taco, I saw that the regular price was $2, so I really only saved 50 cents here. From the way my receipt is spelled out, I think any street taco would have been $2 normal price regardless of what flavor you choose, but 25% savings doesn't sound too shabby if you ask me! I was also asked if I would like some onions and cilantro; it wouldn't incur an upcharge, so I figured why not? I asked the cashier how long I'd have to wait. She said it would be a quick one: about 2 to 3 minutes. It was indeed about 3 minutes before she handed me my small taco plate, a cup of green sauce, and two large napkins. Two might have been excessive for the size of the taco that I got, but I used one to wipe my hands with water from the drink dispenser, a trick I like to do whenever I have to eat with my hands. The asada taco was pretty good! Almost certainly 5 star worthy for most others, but as flavorful as the taco was, especially with the green sauce, I did find the meat kind of tough to chew. Also, it did get pretty soggy that the second corn tortilla was necessary to hold the taco. And the tortilla wasn't exactly big enough; I spilled a little on the table while eating my taco. I wanted to use the restroom, which was for paying customers only. However, the door was locked! I couldn't tell if there was someone inside, so I went up to the cashier and asked if I needed a code for the restroom. Turns out no code was needed because there isn't even a keypad on the bathroom door handle. Instead, she gave me a spatula with a key at the handle end. Kind of like a hall pass in school. After using the restroom, I tried to return the restroom spatula key to the cashier, but didn't see her at first. A different co-worker was at the front, but seemed too busy to even notice me. That cashier then turned towards me, and I gave her back the key. It was the first time I saw her smile and demonstrate appreciation for my business; otherwise, her service was just pretty much normal for fast food. While I was waiting at the table in the center of the restaurant, I noticed a QR code for El Torazo's rewards program. I looked up their website and saw they only have one other location: Huntington Beach. If they had a location in Lakewood, I'd consider joining, but I didn't bother to ask more about the rewards program since I'm rarely in that part of town. I grabbed a menu on the way out and saw that certain groups of people can get 15% off there! The rest of the menu seems reasonable in price, so it's definitely budget friendly if you fall in one of those groups. I do not, and I probably wouldn't return anyways unless I make another visit to Thompson Park. If I lived closer, and especially if I were a member of one of those groups, I would definitely want to return to try something else on their menu! read more

We always come for the asada fries 10/10. We love them. They are always freshly made and sauces are delicious too.

The food is freshly cooked and tasty. The service is quick and efficient but you may have to wait just a bit because they cook to order. The restaurant itself is always clean with ample space. Although the music is a bit loud for my liking. Overall a solid food experience. read more

Had dinner at El Torazo in bellflower. it's more of a Mexican fast-food style spot. The meat was flavorful, which was a plus, but the portion sizes felt pretty underwhelming, especially for a place in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood where you usually get more food for a better price. I've had better-tasting meals with larger servings at other nearby spots, so overall it didn't quite live up to expectations. read more

El Torazo - 3 Queza Taco Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellflower, California

Got a quick breakfast here on the way to church from my daughter's soccer game. Ordered a tamale, quesadilla for kiddo, and a coffee. The tamale was crazy dry. The salsa it came with was good/flavorful and saved the tamale. The quesadilla was also dry. My daughter didn't finish it. I was excited about the coffee, but it was terrible. I had to toss it. I tried to get used to the taste, but couldn't get past it. Tasted like it was made with bad water. Another place I had high hopes for, but it didn't serve. read more

This location was formerly known as Lickity Splitz, and it used to be my favorite spot when I was a kid. I often got a banana split or chili cheese fries and played basketball at Thompson Park across the street. Unfortunately, Lickity Splitz closed down years ago, and El Torazo, a Mexican restaurant with a unique twist on Mexican cuisine, replaced it. I have visited this place many times and always go for their tacos because they are large and full of flavor. Today, I dropped by for a quick snack as I wasn't very hungry but needed something to keep me going through the afternoon. It was around 1 pm on a Wednesday, and a few customers in the restaurant appeared to be employees taking their lunch break. I ordered a small drink with a Mexican Taco Al pastor, which totaled around $8 with a tip. I ordered only one because I remembered they were big, and two tacos would have been too much for me. My taco took about 5 minutes to prepare and bring to my table. When my taco arrived, I was surprised that it was a standard tortilla size but filled with al pastor meat. One thing I like about this place is that all their tortillas are handmade, giving the food an authentic Mexican flavor. The al pastor meat was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the tortilla was hot and freshly made. Even though it was a regular-sized taco, it was pretty filling because of the thick tortillas and generous meat filling. In conclusion, I will keep coming back to El Torazo. They offer excellent customer service and serve delicious, flavorful food that carries on the tradition of my childhood favorite restaurant, Lickity Spliz. read more

Place was a bit rundown but still a solid spot for a quick bite to eat. I tried their chicken spinach bowl, it was pretty good but chicken quality could be better. Horchata was good but seemed to be made from a powder. Lots of seating inside and they have a drive thru. Service was quick and friendly. read more

What happened to the burritos?! I used to love this spot -- the burritos were big, fresh, and worth every penny. Lately though? They've seriously shrunk. I'm not paying full price for a half-sized wrap that looks like it went on a diet. Super disappointing. I used to recommend this place all the time, but not anymore. Bring back the burritos we actually came for! read more
