When I heard El Toro Supermarket sold chicharon, I knew I had to pay this store a visit. Parking was insane on Memorial Day, but apparently it's always like that. Definitely bring some patience as you might have to circle the lot a few times. They had large chicharon and bite size chicharon both with meat on them. Prices were reasonable, so of course we got a pound of each. The pork belly was fried nicely, with just the right amount of salt. Not too fatty, and had a good amount of meat to them. Dipped in vinegar or hot sauce...delicious! Great for snacking. The market contained everything you needed to make a feast...freshly made tortillas and salsa, meats (cooked or fresh from the butcher in the back), spices, fruit, vegetables, pastries (cakes in the back and a wall of baked goods lined the left side of the market), drinks, utensils, etc. Compared to your typical supermarket in the area, I would say El Toro was on the cheaper side. The market is spacious, with lots of room to move through the aisles. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Being from NY, I am accustomed to visiting grocery stores with an aisle dedicated to Goya products. NC grocery stores struggle in this area so visiting a latino store is a must. El Toro is a spacious store with all kinds of hispanic products. Its' main focus is mexican food and has caused my family and I to try new things. If you love Jarritos sodas, they have nearly every flavor and you can purchase it in bulk. They also have large cookie/candy and bakery sections, making it a nonstop shop for fiestas. Their produce section is also diverse. Their Goya section is a bit lackluster but they usually have what I need for cooking, just not always what I want. I will continue to shop here because it's the only place I've been able to go to that has the necessities for Spanish cooking. If you're not accustomed to eating Mexican food, I highly recommend checking out El Toro. They are reasonably priced and have a lot of items to try. They're also located right next to Taqueria El Toro, which easily has the best Mexican food in Garner.

Hispanic grocery store with a wide selection of authentic item to choose from. Price are cheaper than at other stores and some of the item that we use are in larger sizes and helps save some cash. It the back of the store there is cooked food to choose from. We enjoyed the fresh bread, empanadas and sweets in the long case against the front wall of the store. Everyone was helpfully and the store was very clean. Much nicer than the other stores we had to choose from before.

Authentic Mexican market with an overachieving meat counter. Take a number and try the asada!

Farmer Dan is so friendly! My husband and I got a wonderful tour of his farm and it was soooo cool…read moreto be able to see how they raise the animals, how they live, and to truly see what they are eating! This is truly the best farm for meat in the whole Triangle area. Farmer Dan's daughters, as well as one of the farm-worker's daughters, run the shop and they are so perky, professional, and helpful! They offered us free samples of some hot brisket with cheesy grits (holy YUM) and about 8 different flavors of goat cheese (there's even a chocolate one that's perfect in smores). They sell pork, beef, chicken, lamb, fresh eggs, cheese, ice cream, pet milk (unpasteurized), freshly baked cookies ($1 each), Buck Naked Farm honey, soaps, jams, and Adam's Vineyard wine. The prices aren't the cheapest, but you are truly paying for quality meat that is a LOT healthier and tastier than the junk they sell in the grocery stores. Surprisingly, they sell duck eggs from "A Third of a Farm" in Fayetteville, NC (which are super rich and delicious) and a variety of goat cheeses from Celebrity Dairy. We ordered the Jalapeno Cheese and it's sooooo good (and spicy) -- I usually hate goat cheese for its game-y-ness, but this cheese is so smooth! Our favorite products: - Pulled Pork -- we love that you just boil it in the bag and then serve it. Sooooo good! - Ground Beef -- you can really taste the onions, spices, and other veggies that the animals have been grazing on! We love using this for our burger night. - Ribs -- enough said. We nibble them down to the very BONE! I can't remember where the ice cream is from (some local dairy farm), but we ended up buying the Strawberry Cheesecake. It was tasty, but sadly there was no REAL strawberries in it at all... The "strawberry" swirls were just red food dye, corn syrup, and some other random ingredients. It also didn't have any sort of cheesecake chunks in it at all... I really wish Ninja Cow Farm sold ice cream with REAL ingredients.

Loved the farm itself, and the tour, and the meats that we purchased, but the owners sprung a…read moresurprise on us that frankly ended the experience on a sour note and makes it unlikely that we would ever return. We found out about Ninja Farms through Groupon, and had purchased a promotion for a tour with a discount toward the purchase of their meats. When we made the purchase, we also emailed two of our friend/couples to see if they were also interested in going with us and making a fun event out of it. Each of the two couples purchased their own Groupons separately, and I scheduled the tour for the six of us together on the same date, making a note that we had three couples, each using Groupons, on the website form when I scheduled the tour. At the end of the tour, when we went to purchase our meats, the wife of the owner-pair informed us that since we all scheduled our tour for the same time, only one of us couples could use our Groupon that trip. What?? She said that this was "one per visit" as listed on the Groupon details. Nowhere in the small print is a "visit" defined as a tour. I understand if we had been one family trying to use multiple Groupon discounts in our "visit", but this was clearly not the case, which we tried to explain repeatedly to both owners. It was quite clear that we were three separate couples who wanted to take our tour all together, but were from three separate households and had purchased three separate Groupons. Moreover, we could have scheduled three separate tours since we had three independently purchased Groupons by three separate couples. One would think that they would have appreciated us saving their time by consolidating to one tour. Evidently if we had scheduled three back-to-back tours, eating up more of their time, each of us could use our own Groupon with no problem. Eventually the husband-owner relented to let one of the other couples use their Groupon- which still meant that one of the couples could not use the Groupon discount that they had purchased (I believe they ended up requesting a refund through Groupon). The unyielding unreasonableness of the owners, coupled with the lack of definition in their small print (felt like a "bait and switch"), makes me not trust them or want to do business with them again. Which is such a shame, because I really wanted to like and continue to support their operation.
