When we moved here a year later, we happened to rent a house in La Cieneguita. Since then we've been getting our lunches here almost daily. For 15 pesos, you can get a big gordita filled with delicious stews, beans, and cheese. They also make quesadilla and tacos, all with fresh homemade tortillas. My favorite is their gorditas though, as I love more stews and less cheese. And once you eat their salsa picante in their molcajete, you will get addicted fast. So spicy, so authentic, and they reel you in for more. I love eating my gorditas with lots of their hot salsa, then cool my mouth down with cucumber and lime agua or tamarindo. The owners are so nice and friendly, and very pretty too. The owner's son speaks English for tourists too. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Just asked for a some of everything, tacos y gringas. Enough to feed the 3 of us. Everything was excellent , 2 sauces both roja y verde on the table along with limes. Just sodas but if you want a beer you can grab one across the street at the Oxxo and they are okay with that. Perfect afternoon meal. The price is more than reasonable. Friendly and tasty...that's a place I'd go back to. FYI the sign for El Toro is just hand written and taped to the grill so you may need to look a little for it.
