The restaurant here is an absolute hidden gem and one of Fallbrook's best kept secrets. I mainly stop by for the delicious and authentic Tacos, only $0.99 on Tuesday's! They also have great drinks and quesadillas, and I reckon anything on the menu is great. Friendly staff and good service. Nice place to get food and grocery items if you need them.

El Toro Market - Patio Area - Grocery Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Have been going there for a few years, but today was awful! When we got there to the restaurant side ( patio) there was a guy in a long sleeve black t-shirt smoking cigarettes while everyone is there eating. Then he walked into the kitchen where all the food was being prepared w/his lit cigarette smoking there where our food was being prepared, he was an employee?? believe this is a health code violation?? Then we get our burritos we ordered that have always been good & they were TERRIBLE! tortillas were stale, hard & dried out. Food quality has gone waaay down. Will not be back again! We will try Estrella's next door , next time, hear there better. read more

I went in to purchase some items and selected the cash back option (mind you, it normally says such and such amount fee for cash back). This was not the case. I selected cash back option of $100 - the cashier said they charge a fee and took money from my initial amount of $100 so I got less than $100. Who does that? I said "where does it say that?" .. So shady. They can literally do this to anyone. Her explanation was, they charge for more than over $20, because they don't do $100. Then why was it an option? So untrustworthy, literally kept my money, seems like a scam. read more

We're new in this area and fell upon this small little market. It reminds me of the old days when small markets were scattered thru out the neighborhood. So i was liked it from the beginning. I wanted fresh fish and thought what the heck I'll buy Catfish (surprised it was available), and grill it. Wow, it was incredible. The texture and fresh fish taste. Went back for more. Btw; the veggies looked fresh, colorful and I'll be back to get some. The service was great, friendly and helpful. read more

This is one of those hidden gems. We've had tacos here a few times. During avocado festival theh set up outside as a street vendor. Theres a good selection in the store with fresh meats and seafood. The food counter is in the corner where you can order inside or from a counter window on the patio. I love my carnitas tacos. They're very good. My wife had carne asada and a carnitas taco. I tasted her carne asada and it was average ( I make the best). They have a big menu for a small venue. The patio is added value to me. There are six tables with four chairs. Very nice to eat your food and chill. Dog friendly on the patio. read more

El Toro is a great little market for grocery goods, but it is also a hidden gem for anyone wanting to eat tacos. My husband and I always stop in and order the asada, and pastor tacos, along with mango margaritas! These pastor street tacos are my favorite, super juicy, and they taste so good. There are also pollo and carnitas, and many other menu items to choose from, as well as catering. On this visit we ordered some fresh ceviche and gobbled that down with chips, because we could. Have I mentioned they even have a Taco Tuesday?!?! We drive all the way from Temecula to get them. Do yourself a favor...next time you are craving tacos...take a drive to El Toro Market, and don't forget the margarita! read more

A small scale grocery/market that has a taco shop! Parking is easy. Located on a busy street, you can't miss it. Service is good and their inventory seems fresh. They have a $2 beer and $1 taco special daily. The tacos are small but pack big flavor. I'll be back again for sure. read more

Good Pollo Asado Torta! Although there are many taco stops in FB, finding good Mexican food is a challenge. That won't dissuade the ongoing hunt though! Stopped last night at El Toro Market for a pollo asado Torta. The chicken was tender, and flavorful. The beans tasted homemade with a nice texture. One star off for insufficiently toasted bread -- made the sandwich a bit soggy. To be fair, this is a common problem with tortas. It needed more lettuce for more crunch and to contrast the cold lettuce with the hot ingredients. Sliced tomatoes are also usually in tortas. This will not deter a return visit. I'm planning to try the more exotic meats (today probably!) that are harder to find well-prepared in any area e.g., Lengua, Cabeza, etc. I'm hopeful these will be as good as the pollo asado. Fingers crossed! read more

Ordered the asada nachos and opened it up and it looked amazing. But when I got home and started to eat it it was too soggy to put in the oven to reheat. The reason is because movie theater nacho cheese lined the layer underneath the asada, shredded cheese and sour cream. Completely ruined the whole thing. It never occurred to me to ask about the kind of cheese being used, this is the first time I've come across this issue. It was completely inedible and wound up being a waste of money and waste of time. So disappointed. They do street tacos really really well, absolutely delicious but I don't think I'll be ordering anything else off the menu and that's a shame because the meat is delicious. read more

I love El Toro Market as I can easily find Mexico imported goods, non typical foods compared to other grocery stores in the area, great prices and there's literally the best taco shop attached to it as well! The tacos are like a dollar and some change each and they are absolutely delicious! I always grab a Mexican Coca Cola as it has pure sugar cane and get their Carne Asada tacos or tortas and it's life changing honestly! 10/10 recommend also 12 tacos under $20 bucks! Sign me up for a life supply read more

Recommended if you are in downtown Fallbrook and want a quick bite. Very good street tacos on Taco Tuesday for $1.33 each. The attached market has some nice produce. We shared a pile of tacos consisting of adobada, carne asada, and carnitas. All were very good, tender, not dry at all- served with very fresh onion, cilantro and refreshing lemon wedges. The only thing a bit questionable were 2 giant, all-fat chunks in our carnitas... we had to pick them out. Not sure what part of the porker that was from but it was undesirable at best. The red salsa / sauce was non-chunky and wasn't very spicy. I like it hotter but it was yummy. There's a small seating area to eat outside. It's in a sectioned off area on the sidewalk. Great place to enjoy the SoCal weather but quite noisy being at the corner of Mission and Main. They serve beer.. Enough said! read more

Came in yesterday and ordered tacos , they smelled like death. The meat was rotten . As soon as I smelled it I turned around and took it back and there was an actual line of people in front of me saying the same thing and the heavyset man behind the counter was arguing with literally everyone saying that they were wrong and that the meat was just fine . The lady behind the register smelled it and made a face and said "oh I'm so sorry " but he came she got scared and started agreeing with him saying the meat was fine. Worst service and the worst tacos there was also a homeless man in front touching all the lemons they have outside talking about now they're only $1 so make sure to wash your produce if you come here as well. read more

We've passed this market many times and just noticed an outdoor eating. So since the first line above, I've visited this location again. Just now catching up with reviews! So this last time we visited we took advantage of their Taco Saturday Special, 50 cents for little tacos. Which was perfect after we had our meal, and still a little hungry afterwards. We each had the pork, beef, and chicken tacos. They hit the spot! They were very fresh, I hope its always like that. The little eating area is quite noisy since you are eating adjacent to a main, and busy road. But it is nice if you wish to be out in the open and don't mind inhaling some gas fumes. The food is good and the amount you get for the money is fair. I am pretty sure we will be visiting again for a bite. It is connected to the actual market. There is a variety of cut meats and other eccentric parts of chicken, beef and pork to please everyones home cooking. read more

I loved that I was able to watch the Super Bowl here at the conviently located outside patio.

No Bueno, Tortillas always expired. Food looks sketchy. Guy smoking into people's face when entering....

Came here to get a bite to eat in the afternoon. I got some carne asada tacos (which were very good and decently priced). I also took a look around the market and they have EVERYTHING I can think of. I rated 4 out of 5 stars because one of the people here didn't have a pleasant customer service attitude... but the food was delicious and I found some products I cannot find anywhere else. So I will be visiting again. =) read more

I ordered carne asada fries from here and they are disgusting! There is actual movie theater type nacho cheese sauce then sour cream, flavorless carne asada then a dash of shredded cheese. I've never in my life seen this. I can't believe a Mexican restaurant would produce something like this. read more

We were waiting outside to place or order for lunch for 15 minutes. We were just ignored the whole time and eventually left. There were customers that were in line after us in the inside area and they were served while we were continuously ignored even though we were there before any of them. I would not recommend this place unless you like being ignored and wasting your time. read more

Bomb $2 tacos and cheap beers on tap. We tried pollo, carnitas, pastor and asada tacos. The standout was the pastor but all were well seasoned and tasty. Tamales were well seasoned, not dry and overall very good. Not fancy by any means but awesome for a cheap quick bite. The market seems rundown and a little sketch, best to just walk up to the outside window to order. read more

Not only did they give me a Beef Tamale when I ordered a Pork Tamale..this HUGE piece of pure FAT was in my husband's breakfast burrito this morning. It's about 1/4 of the size of the burrito. Last time we ordered the breakfast burritos they had more potato's than anything else. The abundance of onions in their guacamole overtakes the flavor of the avocados. No Bueno. Never shopping there again!! read more

The tacos always smell like the meat is going bad u have cockroaches crawling on the taco bar wall next to the patio entrance and then when the cashier asks if u want cash back u say yes and then u press yes for cash back it doesnt ask u or tell u that theres a 3.99 cash back fee until they tell u after ur purchase has already gone thru this business is a nuisance and needs to be corrected before they end up with a lawsuit very unprofessional business read more

Ok so i am a Chef/Cook by trade and have been in the industry 15 yrs never have i seen cilantro look like trash and who in the world puts cilantro with gaucamole together when your ordering sides of ingredients?. Second who lets a teen who didnt look old enough to work behind the kitchen counter? i asked for sides of cilantro and onion told him to put it together and a side of gaucamole with 4 ramekins each of red and green salsa he said with an attitude and i quote "If we have enough" when i can clearly see a 12pan full of salsa he said we dont have anymore tops for the remekins i said just put it in an 8oz container i get home open up my containers and i got the picks you see here i paid $3 for trash cilantro no onion when i asked $3 for gaucamole was given 4oz which is half of the 8oz container and only 2 sides each of salsa im giving this place NEGATIVE POINTS = zero stars and even though i cant post it, it gets a BIG FAT VERBAL ZERO FROM ME!!!! read more

Was in the area for a Carne Asada with friends! I happen to come across this mom and pop grocery store (I figured, with some luck I'll find what I need, so as not to show up empty handed). I found the store to be very clean the meats department was sharp! Loaded up on 10.0lbs. pre-marinaded meats and 5.0lbs Chicken too! I had to get a case of Coronas and off I went! I have to say; everybody loved the Carne Asada along with the Pollo Asado!! It turned into a pot luck and the meats were all gone! I recommend this place, for all you need to make you're event a hit! read more

I have been staying with a friend in Fallbrook while my apartment in Carlsbad is having construction done and found this place. Excellent selection of fish, beef, chicken, pork + more. There is also a restaurant in it so if you don't feel like cooking you can pick something up. Freshly made tortillas, still warm! Amazing prepared fajitas, carne asada, etc ready to throw in on the stove for dinner in 10 minutes. Produce is marginal,but I have seen worse at the Vons in Carlsbad, and there is not a huge selection. Alcohol is expensive, do not buy it here, prices are not listed and some employees do not speak English. Convenient & authentic. Not much to compare it to in Fallbrook, but I like it! read more

My go to spot for Carne Asada. THE BEST MEAT! Fresh, seasoned well, cooked perfect. at a good price$! Just mouth watering! I have called 3 different occasions and asked for 2-3 pounds of already cooked & cut carne asada same day pick up and the guys there have always been nice enough to do so! They are nice and friendly! And my order is always ready when they said it would be. My guest always ask where the meat is from and I always refer them to EL TORO MARKET every time! read more

I have going here for 5 years and it's still my favorite taco spot. They updated the outside area putting up a fence and a 60" tv outside to watch the games. They have Carna Fires! By the way. read more

Tacos were deeeeelicious. The meat was clean, the chips were fresh, the guacamole wasn't old. Service was great too

We recently were in the market looking for a catering option for our housewarming party for 60 guests and after trying tastings at around roughly 12 different restaurants/markets (tough job, right ;) ), decided on El Toro. My goodness was their food great! We ended up ordering 12lbs of carne asada ranchera, pollo asado and carnitas, along with full pans of rice and beans and their red and green salsas plus all the sides for street tacos. I highly recommend El Toro for single tacos all the way to large catered parties. The staff was wonderful to work with and their prices were extremely competitive. read more

Went to the mercado for Taco Tuesdays--TJ tacos. Ordered chicken and beef. I didn't think they were anything special at all. However, they were better than Pedro's Tacos down the street, IMO. The tacos were $.75 each, so what can you expect for that price? What made me really laugh was the Coke they wanted to sell me cost over $2.00! read more

Amazing Chicken burritos. I love the customer service. I am going to try and the chicken tacos next.

This is my second time here. We found this place a little over a year ago after we hiked Santa Margarita River Trail in Fallbrook. We stopped in for tacos. And they were awesome! They are simple well cooked Assad with pico de gallo. What I like about it most is they actually cook the tortillas perfectly, before they add the meat and the pico. For $.99 each you can get Asada, Pastore, Carnitas, chicken, and there's a couple more I can't remember! LOL three street tacos fill me up and the salsa that they give you with the tacos is so good! I have never had anything else here to eat except for the chips and the salsa but every time I come through Fallbrook I do stop here for tacos. There seems to be a healthy flow of people stopping in for lunch, so that's always a good sign. They do have burritos, Kearny Asada fries or nachos, tortillas, and all kinds of other delicious looking Mexican dishes. read more

Bomb ass tacos for a very affordable price! Tomás has great customer service! Love this place
