    Really don't appreciate being charged for fat. It's very scammy and greedy. This is just some of the fat I pulled off leftovers. NOT ALL. When I have purchased meats from other meat markets, I have never ran into this. Will not be coming back bc of this. Also, meat was dry and tough. Same with al pastor.

    I'm really dropping the best kept secrets in the desert. Take notes people.... El Toro Loco is a newer carnicería located in La Quinta, CA. Unassuming to passerby's, this is a legit premium meat and produce market here in the desert. The quality and selection inside is chefs kiss. Get you a market that "can do both" as they've got aged wagyu and tomahawks on one side of the counter and then tripe and asada on the other. I love this market for being a one stop shop. My shopping list included: * Cerveza * Guacamole * Tortilla Chips * Tacos I definitely accomplished grabbing everything on my list here. What makes this spot the best kept secret is their cocina in the back where they are serving up some of the best tacos I've had in the desert. Like OMG! These tacos are about $3 a piece but they are MASSIVE! I've never seen a regular sized tortilla loaded with so much protein, it's truly insane and literally TAKE MY MONEY. I grabbed some Carnitas & Pastor tacos. They were amazing! If I could only choose one I'd say the Al Pastor really hit as their marinade is super flavorful and again the portions were massive. This was an amazing local find that didn't break the bank and was so good. Feel free to grab your tacos to go or they have some benches out front so you can enjoy them fresh. Pro tip: come on "Taco Tuesdays" for discounted tacos and prepare to fall in love.

    El Toro Loco in La Quinta is a treasure tucked into the outskirts of old town --a thoughtfully curated local market. The space is immaculately clean and well-organized, making it a pleasure to browse. You'll find hand-picked artisan choices throughout the store--from a unique cheese selection to wines you won't see at your average grocery stop. Their grocery staples are top-notch, and the fresh produce is vibrant and clearly chosen with care. The in-house butcher is a standout, offering ready-made carne asada and al pastor, plus a small but high-quality selection of choice chicken, steaks and seafood. Everything feels fresh, intentional, and rooted in flavor. In the back, you'll find a kitchen that serves breakfast, lunch, and casual dinner options. Whether you're grabbing to go, need a snack while charging your Tesla or sitting in their small seating area it's definitely a great little secret. A must-visit for foodies, locals, and weekenders alike. One suggestion for owners, offer soyrizo as a "meat" option in the breakfast burritos.

    Steak omelet, absolutely huge

    I needed a quick breakfast before heading to the golf course and this place was perfect. I had the steak omelette and absolutely loved it. It was so big that it served as two breakfasts on back to back days. Steak was juicy and the eggs were cooked right. Fantastic place.

    Two dollar tacos on taco Tuesday. I recommend starting at four. You'll find them at the back of the store.
