LOVE LOVE LOVE. pregnancy had me craving potato tacos so I swung by on a Friday because they have TACO FRIDAY. The lady that helped me was SO sweet. I knew I wanted potato tacos the saw sooo many things on their menu. I got two regular fried potato tacos, a healthier one, and some asada and carnitas ones for my SO. the healthy potato tacos are good but the deep fried ones brought back so many memories of my fav place in Brea for taco Tuesday that closed down!! My SO initially didn't eat his tacos until after our appt. The he gobbled all FOUR in the car before we left the parking lot. Must've been good! read more

GREAT foods!!! Had dinner there a few times, was always good & one of my favorites for sure Pastor Tacos Carne Asada read more

Great food, great service taco Tuesdays and Fridays consistently good food with beer and mimosas. All of the tacos are marked down on Tuesdays and Fridays not just what the board says. read more

Great Mexican food! Very clean spot and tasty food. The red sauce was not my favorite, but the green was lemoney tasting. I would recommend the aqua Frescas, the horchata and Jamaica were delicious. The flan was also delicious read more

Amazing fried tacos! The meat is delicious and the green sauce is delicious! Carne asada is delicious too!

I ordered the Mexicano burrito and my friend ordered the vegetarian omelet, the burrito tasted okay and the size was a bit small compared to other burritos I've had in different places . The omelet tasted really good and the salsa was available without extra charge even for the to-go. The staff were very nice and friendly and the place was really clean and welcoming. read more

Best place to go for taco Tuesday! They have amazing fried crispy tacos! Salsa is decent. Fish tacos are good too, needs some seasoning in my opinion. Inside is very clean and they have a lot of space to dine in. All the people working there were very nice and moved with a sense of purpose. I recommend coming here on Tuesdays! read more

What can I say, other than we love El Torazo. We tend to get the same thing every time because we just like what we get so much. read more

The chicken tortilla soup is Off The Hook..Really good. The broth is strong and flavorful and the tortillas strips are freshly made and really delicious in the soup. This was my first time eating here and I will definitely be coming back. I have a feeling the rest of the menu offers will be equally well made and flavorful. My daughter and I are always looking for new Mexican food restaurants and now I can't wait to take her here. I'm definitely recommending you try this place for your favorite mexican dish read more

Love a good Taco Tuesday, but have you heard of Taco FRIDAY? that's right, El Torazo does a special on Tuesdays and Fridays. $1.99 select tacos! This deal is a steal! What initially caught my eye was the crispy tacos, I love a good (non fast food chain) crispy taco and sometimes they're not easy to find. I decided to grab a few for the family and myself and the verdict is, we are all BIG fans. We really like the crispy chicken/shredded beef/ potato tacos. We have tried their Mexican (soft, street style) asada/carnitas/barbacoa tacos, still good, but here, the credit definitely belongs to the crispy. It's a simple taco, but they do it so well, perfect ratios. Their red sauce is delicious but their green sauce absolutely SLAPS. I could drink it. Staff is nice and service is usually really quick, but I will say I think because of both social media, and word of mouth, they have newfound fame and fans. Wait times are getting a bit longer, but you can tell they try their best to be efficient. Also, I recently learned that they just launched a new app, so you can place online orders which may help with wait times. There's a good amount of seating, although I usually do take out. Again, you cannot go wrong with a meat filled, veggie and cheese stuffed crispy taco, and for $1.99 on Taco Tuesdays AND Fridays?! UNBEATABLE. Catch ya there for sure! read more

Well, I am back here again! I have to say the food, while unexceptional, is completely satisfying. The Wednesday lunch special was "2 enchiladas, with rice and beans for $11.50". Such a deal, I added chips and salsa and a couple of cokes. We lunched for $31.00 and I left a generous tip for the counter service. The hot sauce both green and red is top notch, I loved them both. We had the chicken enchiladas but other fillings are available. There is a lunch special every day. I will try the tamales next time. The ambiance is standard, the parking is easy, the service was really good and friendly. The chef in the kitchen looked like an old "pro" to us. We ended up lunching here because the Beachwood Pizza place across the parking lot was not open for lunch on Wednesdays. We went next door after lunch and grabbed a hot fudge Sunday at the DQ! (Review to follow!) read more

Great taco place for value. The prices are great and the tacos are really good. The service is really good and everyone there is very nice. The inside is loud and like a fast food spot. Food comes oit quick and it is very tasty and fresh read more

Best carnitas tacos, taco del mar shrimps ever. The green salsa is aso one of the best I have ever had. Friendly staff. They remember me even though I haven't been there in a while read more

Update: RUDE RUDE RUDE! I normally have a good experience but today, wow so rude I checked the hours online and it said that they opened at nine when I went in the guy at the front desk was like "hey we're not open "so we just asked him but that's not what it says on your website and he said "well that's not my problem" in a rude and sarcastic tone . Could have Been so much nicer and would have left and came back read more

Good fast Mexican food. The price is worth what you get. If you're looking for something fast and reasonably priced this is the place.

El Torazo is a hidden gem in Huntington! The food is delicious, authentic, and comes in good portions at reasonable prices. The agua fresca is so good and the staff are welcoming. So happy to have this place in our community. highly recommend supporting this local spot. read more

Amazing ground beef tacos ! They have very good avocado salsa as well! Yum will be back for sure

Every time we come there are multiple people in the restaurant and there is a reason why this place is awesome! The food is delicious! The customer service is outstanding! They're reasonably priced and consistent. They make you feel like family. You want to just keep coming back! All of their homemade drinks are delicious and not too sweet. The breakfast burrito is my favorite although my children love the chicken nuggets and my husband loves the taco and I've never met anybody who's eating anything and said that it was even a b+ it's always A+! read more

I discovered El Torazo 2 weeks ago and I've already been back three times! As the daughter of a gourmet chef and restaurant owners I grew up with the most delicious meals..which has made me the hardest person to impress when it comes to food! I want to go on the record to say their shrimp tacos are some of the best I have EVER tasted! I fear burning myself out on them because I keep craving them...but maybe this is possible! So happy to support local small business regardless, but doing it with my favorite restaurant is just the cherry on top! read more

You know how things just wander into your life and you're not sure how they got there? That is El Torazo for me. I am from the Bay Area where Nick's Crispy Tacos is a staple for me. I have been searching for something similar in OC with no success. Today (and out of the blue) - El Torazo showed up in my search. I immediately hopped in the car and I ordered a California Burrito, two ground beef crispy tacos, and a potato crispy taco. If there was ever a menu that I could dream up - this is it. Will be a staple of mine for my weekly taco fix. read more

I just started eating at El Torazo recently, and it's becoming one of my favorite Mexican food places in HB. The tacos and taquitos are super good, fresh, and full of toppings. I also love the rice and beans. I can tell that everything is cooked fresh and not just sitting around all day. On top of the food being awesome, the staff is always friendly, and the prices are great!! Highly recommend this little hole In the wall if you are in north HB. The inside is super modern as well. Will continue to be a repeat customer :) read more

3rd times the charm. 3rd visit here and I cannot get passed how rude the ladies are who take your order. Body language, tone, the whole nine. The one who is normally packing the orders seems sweet but the others just feel miserable. read more

First time here with a client. The menu is simple but the flavor and portion was right. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom tacos, great choice. The girl asked "Corn or Flower tortillas?" She said one of each? I'm glad she did, I don't like the hard corn tortillas, these were soft and cooked just right. I am so glad I was introduced to El Torazo, I will be back, I love to try each menu item. Very Clean and Nice read more

Found a new taco spot and they offer a good taco Tuesday menu. I've been looking for some new taco spots and discovered el torazo in hb. Plenty of parking and friendly service. I saw they offer crispy tacos and I had to try some. I went with the ground beef and chicken. Everything tasted good and I was glad they also had other variety of tacos to choose from. The inside of the business was clean and busy on a Tuesday. They give you a green and red sauce on each other. I'll definitely be back to try more different tacos read more

El Torazo nails it with shrimp tacos: warm corn tortillas cradle juicy, well-seasoned shrimp, with bright lime and cilantro notes and a zesty salsa that brings a perfect kick without overpowering the seafood. The crunch, freshness, and balanced flavors make each bite truly satisfying--definitely a highlight of the meal. read more

We had El Torazo for catering at my 1 year old birthday party yesterday and the food was amazing! We did the taco package and everyone was so happy with the tacos/ chips/ beans/ salsa and rice. We will definitely be back and recommend them to anyone looking to cater a party! read more

Food and price is amazing! Service is friendly. Place was clean and had plenty of seating. Definitely coming back.

Takeout order perfect with lots of awesome salsas! I loved the spinach salad with shrimp, really fresh, delicious & large enough to split. The restaurant is super clean and service excellent. Highly recommend! read more

They have a Wednesday enchiladas special which I got with shredded chicken, the chicken is a little dry so I had to drench it with salsa each bite but over all it's a good deal and solid meal. It's a quick service so you order at the front and they bring it out to you, I waited maybe 10 minutes for my food to come out. It's a cute small restaurant who nows offer alcohol. read more

The $1.99 tacos on Tuesday and Friday is one of the best deals you'll find anywhere! They use quality ingredients. The home fries are off the charts!. I tried the carnitas torta minimalist with just meat, cheese, cabbage, mayo a little onion and cilantro. And hot sauce. It was excellent! I like that they offer flour tortillas for even small soft tacos instead of just corn. Their hard shell potato and shredded beef tacos are the best you'll find anywhere. read more

I live about a mile from the place and went in on taco Tuesday. Have to say it was pretty good. Decent size tacos for $2, staff was friendly, cold beer, nice. They have taco Tuesday and Friday. My new favorite quick tasty taco place. read more

Very casual Mexican. Start with parking. It's at the far side of a market parking lot so lots is easy parking. The location is next to a couple other casual dining places. You order at the coulter off menu on the wall. This was our first time here and very easy. They bring your order to you at your seat. I had three chicken tacos and companion had nachos. Both were very satisfying. Price was very good, service friendly. Location very clean. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

Unfortunately, this place took a big step in the wrong direction in the last few weeks. They increased prices by nearly 100% on their best-selling tacos. So disappointing and their taco specials on Tuesdays and Fridays is simply the price they were before the price increase. Used to go weekly, now will look elsewhere before coming back here. read more

I came across this place on accident and all I can say is Wow!! The food was delicious, not greasy and I came on a Taco Tuesday so there were specials. I will definitely be back. read more

Been to the El Torazco in Bellflower! Love it there! Excited to find one in HB locally!!! Food is delish and service was fine. Disappointed I got charged when I asked for extra onion and cilantro! Especially when the other location has a salsa bar with cilantro and onions available. It's so annoying and petty to charge for something as minimal as extra onions and cilantro...I'd rather go to my bellflower on my way home from work! Hope they reconsider that practice...nickeling and diming customers when they could make more money with grateful returning customers who are willing to tip! read more

Ordered chips with a side of guacamole and nacho cheese, fantastic. Can never go wrong with nacho cheese. Guac needed lol more salt. The Mexicana burrito with asada was great. Good portion and hot. The workers are super cool and helpful. Chill spot with tv to watch read more

Wow, my team keeps ordering from here and I finally got to have lunch with them on Friday. So good! Additionally, the pricing is reasonable.

I gave it another go. Second time ordering here and super disappointed. Was in the mood for hard shell tacos, but what I got was really burnt shell tacos. What a waste of money. Saw what the owner made himself to eat, (quesadilla and tacos) . I wonder if he would eat what I was served. Picture below. read more
