The guy who took my order was a dick! Haven't tasted my food but he had a horrible attitude.

No one there speaks enough english. I asked for two crispy tacos to go and got soft tacos. I called back to complain and I was unable to convince them that I was not placing an order. If you cannot speak spanish be careful. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS. They got the order all wrong the food has no taste, food was cold. We ordered early and they said it would be ready in 25 mins and it took 1 hour before order was ready. Owner was rude. Tried to say they were busy and that her niece was new. I will mever go back. read more

The food is delicious but the service here sucks the owner is just rude and has no customer service skills. Which makes you debate if you want to go back. read more

The food is delicious but the cashier Marcos is rude and I had to repeat my order three times because he doesn't take the time to write it down correctly. I also saw how rude he was to the cooks. I purchased two potato tacos with rice and beans no drink which costs $11.88. Although the food is good I would not go back due to the bad customer service. read more

Horrible customer service there food has no taste . You order beans and rice they don't give you a fork . You order menudo they don't give you condiments.Their tables very sticky I asked her if I could clean it myself she said that's just how they are. I definitely would get this place -5 star. read more

Little charm in Corona. It's never been too packed when I've gone. I love their flautitas!!!. You must try!!!!

i love the chicken tacos..... every single time i get them! i load them with their hot sauce! delicious!!! read more

I have been coming here since the 70's. I came in for the 1st time in awhile because I didn't want to deal with no air conditioning. But THEY HAVE AIR CONDITIONING!!! Total game changer. If you are new to Corona this is a MUST TRY. You can't eat here without having the Special Burrelleno and get it "wet" it's like a chile relleno in a burrito topped off like a enchilada. This is the only place you can get this thing. It sucks they raised the price so high on it but you have to try it. This is a local gem hole in the wall with the best Mexican food in Corona. Just do it! read more

Had the Carne Asada plate today and as always the meat was very tasty and cooked perfectly with a large portion I can eat it with corn tortillas and the red sauce all day long read more

El Torero - Carne Asada Plate - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

This place is amazing I've been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Their food and menu has never changed after all these years & why should they? The hard shell tacos are great and the Burrelleno is spot on! Everybody has their secret little fast food Mexican joint and this place is mine. read more

El Torero - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

I don't eat here that often because this place ONLY does a decent job. Today was a sobering reminder of why I only come here once in a while. I went in, spent $18.00 for 2 albondiga soup, 2 street tacos and chips and felt ripped off. I was willing to overlook the fact that the soup was barely lukewarm the meatballs were cold. Then it got worse, I found 2 long brown hair in my soup. I hope the owners check these posts because they need a reality check. My husband also said they don't even heat the soup in a pot, they nuked it in Styrofoam . I am still mad about this !! read more

One word...BURRELLENO!!!! And the salsa is the best I've ever had in my life! The staff is super nice which is always a plus.

love love this place.. my sister introduced it to me.. i don't live close by but whenever i am passing i most definitely have stopped by ever since i discovered this place.. My sister loves the salsa.. i have tried the burritos, awesome wet burritos... and the crispy tacos.. and a little taster of the menudo when i had a hangover.. gotta try it.. read more

El Torero - crispy taco... mmmm - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

See all

My husband and I love Mexican food and he likes to try the smaller restaurants. We both ordered the carne asada quesadilla. Big mistake! I could barely eat mine because it was full of fat and grease. It was so unappetizing - I left most of it on my plate! I won't go back! read more

We have been in Corona or a little over a year now and so far this is the best Mexican food that I have found. Although my wife was not a fan of the Burrelleno like others have been. Still the food is delicious and everything is made quickly. The portions are generous and the meat is actual meat and not that grizzle that happens to have some meat on it that a lot of other places serve. To the owners of this establishment, well done! read more

Breakfast burritos are fabulous. Hard shell ground beef tacos are yummy. They would have gotten 4 stars but they don't open until 9 am and they are a tad bit slow. So if your are in a hurry on your way to work this is not the place for you. I haven't tried any other items but I imagine it would be just as good as the burritos and tacos. read more

The food was okay, but the lady working in the front was rude. They never wasn't to give me extra sauce even though I get a lot of food for me and my family. I think they just microwave the beans too so they don't taste fresh. I would rather go to the Del Taco across the street. read more

Been coming here for years through 3 or 4 owners. Although a relatively simple menu, they have all the primary traditional Mexican dishes; to include Albondigas and Menudo on the weekends. Frankly, and call me a typical gringo, but what I love most about this place is their salsa. Very thin, not chunky, but very flavorful and more spice factor than most. It's bomb!! A definite must if you've never been. read more

I came to this place once before and thought the food was wonderful as well as the women who made the food however, When I arrived for the second time which was tonight a little after 6pm I placed my order and forgot to tell the man that rang my order no beans. I went back in and explained to him because I was on a keto diet I didn't want beans and I apologized for not mentioning no beans. He glared at me as though I killed a member of his family and so I went on to say that if there was a problem with replacing the order, then he should return my money since he had an issue. He yelled at me. Told me that what I did was unfair and told me to not return. I am pretty sure they throw away a lot more food at the end of the night than what my order was. Although my first experience at this place was great, my second experience was not. Due to the lack of professionalism when resolving issues that sometimes will happen...I will not ever waste my time nor money on a place where the customer is not wanted. I'm sure the food is good but there are way too many other Mexican food places that do not have a crappy attitude such as what I experienced with the man who took my order at this place....And there are way better Mexican food stops that out do this hole in the wall on any given day or night. He told me not to come back and believe me I will not be back. You can have good food but if you have no customer service skills and lack professionalism, you will lose good customers...Especially when they are told not to return. The man who worked the cash register tonight made it bad for all the women who work here because I will not be returning and others may not due to this review. read more

Outstanding food. Burrito with green sauce was awesome. Can't believe it's not 5 stars. Tacos are also very good.

Ok I'm such a fan of this place now! Went for lunch and took the hubby there for dinner! Finally a great Mexican food place! And to top it off they actually had hot salsa! :) we are super happy with this place and the service!! Beyond great!! Can't wait to go back and try their other items! :) read more

I have always enjoyed this place! My favorite place to get albondigas soup! Rice and beans, great I've never had anything that I do not like here. I drive from riverside when o want good fast Mexican food! Yummy in my tummy! read more

This place is a cute right at home kitchen. The enchiladas were amazing. The salsa very spicy and salsa verde was perfect. Beans are really addicting and the rice... now I hare Spanish rice but this RICE WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Nice employees too. read more

I expect more from a place that charges $10 for a combo plate and $7 for a basic carne asada burrito. The food was decent, the hot sauce was pretty good. I'll probably stick to a few other places nearby. Places like this are a dime a dozen. It's all about getting the most bang for your buck, and you're not getting much bang for your buck here. read more

Best Mexican food in Corona! We love the beef tacos and beef and bean burritos!! The burriellano burrito is a family fave too! The hot sauce is to die for! El Torrero puts Miguel's to shame! Don't be fooled by the location... it is a little bit of a hole in the wall but so worth it!! read more

I drive here from riverside about once a week. You can't beat the hard tacos and the shredded beef burritos are the best I've ever had. The enchilada sauce plus the salsa... Drool wo read more

El torero is our absolute favorite 'hole in the wall' mexican food place. The food is authentic mexican, with the absolute BEST homemade, fresh spicy brown sauce in the world. Good luck getting the recipe out of them though, it's apparently a family secret. The quality is always consistent, even a bean, potato, rice and cheese burrito is huge and amazingly tasy & fresh every time. The place is tiny, but clean. Been coming here since 1999. Just GOOD mexican food! :D read more

Hands down this little gem is the best Mexican food around. This place is family owned and operated they cook food to order and is just like my grandfather's cooking. The hard shell tacos are excellent and I judge most Mexican food restaurants by how fresh and flavors of the sauce.i don't leave this place till I get a cup of it to take home read more

It's Taco Tuesday! So it was a must to eat tacos! !!! I'm Still a little weak to go out so my hubby brought home our yummy grub to throw down at the house. They were having a special... 3 tacos for $5. AWESOME deal so we choose 2 chicken, 2 shredded beef, 2 groud beef. We slso had to have their yummy Chili Rellenos combo w / rice & beans. Soooo darn good! When you try their tacos you have to get the guacamole sauce! I put a layered of sour cream, guacamole, hot sause on a shredded chicken. ..yum. everything I've ever ordered from them, have always been delicious. I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND their Pork & Potatoes & cheese burrito. All I can say is OMG! :) Happy Taco Tuesday Everyone!!!! read more

Best place to get mexican food. Burritos are huge always order a Carne Asada with everything on it! Always fresh and fast service. Salsa is bomb and meat is not fatty or gross anytime I've ordered. Deffinetly recommend who wants a more authentic mexican type food. read more

Not the prettiest eatery in town, but don't be fooled by its appearance. The food is definitely good enough to keep us wanting to come back for more. read more

I love this place the beef and potato burrito is amazing and it is enough for 2 people to split. The meat is tender seasoned to perfection. Go try it you will be glad you did... read more

i hate to be the first rather negative review but I really felt the food was meh. Ive definitely had better tacos as the ones here were served on a rather dry tortilla with fatty cuts of carne asada. I mean c'mon...its lean flank cuts. I followed everyone's recommendation and ordered the Burelleno which was decent. Im a big fan of authentic chile rellenos and the one found inside the burrito was decent. Dont get me wrong, it was a good sized burrito and reasonably priced but i would have rather paid a few extra bucks for some quality cheese as opposed the nacho cheese that had filled it with. Overall, I probably wont be coming here again as its kinda on the opposite side of Corona from me. i was really excited to try a new place as ive visited many mexican restaurants in Corona. But with places like Tudy's Taqueria serving a mean torta and burritos, or El Tapatio Market serving a good variety of delicious mexican food (and i mean variety...go explore youll be pleasantly surprised) ill probably take my hunger there next time. Pros: Burelleno, large portions, relatively inexpensive Cons: Uber dried tortillas and really fatty cuts of meat read more

First thing u will notice about this restaurant is how beautiful it is inside, pity how lonely it is. The menu selection was regular but the waiti g time for your food was fast! It took about 8 minutes for the food to arrive. Parking is horrible! The lot behind the restaurant has signs all over that reads, "99 cents PArking only" read more

I love this place. They've dressed it up a bit since I first started coming. More inviting that it was before. The food is great and even better compared to the price. Nothing overly fancy, just solid dishes at a fair price. read more

I have to say I was very impresed by walking in there and the place looked very clean, I live in corona and have Been here for over 10 years and let's just say were El Torero is locaded is not the best area so after seeing the reviews on yelp I decided to go, The service was good but the food was not all that great Or maybe it was just what i ordered because it was very busy, I will go back to try something different. read more

Im from Orange County just stop by to get a quick bite to eat and burritos are the bomb. Will deffinetly visit again, its a good place to wait and out of the traffic. read more

4 stars because I love the food here, but their prices have gone way up. Pretty expensive or fast food Mexican.

Food was good, but over priced. 13$ for some 3 tacos plate that didn't even come with a drink. had to ask for more hot sauce cause they only gave me one for each taco. read more
