This was a great meal! Felt super authentic, and it was fun to see different things offered in the grocery store. The salsa bar is fun! We will be back to try more. read more

Supermercado El Torito - Steak nachos and a burrito - Mexican Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

I wouldn't call this authentic "Mexican". I got a steak taco, barbacoa, and pastor taco. The pastor was greasy and way too salty. Barbacoa was alright, the steak was very dry and was also not a good cut a steak. The Horchata tasted like a pre made powdered mix. Very disappointed with the service as well. The waitresses were very short and not helpful at all. 0-10 do not recommend. read more

Where the locals go, you know for sure it's authentic. This is not your typical "Americanized" Mexican joint. Try for yourself! Salsa bar is fantastic! read more

This place is amazing. Mega authentic! Dishes you'd recognize if you'd ever been to the non-tourist areas of Mexico. Tucked inside the Supermercado next to the main post office, this place does not disappoint. Service is simple, you order at the counter, they bring it out or (if they are busy) you'll have to pick up your meal at the pass. Oh, and they have a self service chips and salsa bar and some of the best aguas frescas and the horchata is excellent! read more

What a great Yelp find as we were driving down the road. We were impressed with the service, our food, and the salsa bar. My tacos were great. My friends loved their tacos and fajitas. The supermarket is packed with great items. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The ladies' bathroom was clean. We were the only gringos, which makes it the best type of Mexican restaurant. Keep up the great work! read more

food is very good very awesome place to shop and eat love the tacos and burritos lots of stuff to buy in the store

The store is fine except for the employees , these girls think they are jennifer lopez or something , they always have a face like if a fart is stuck in their as* They are hateful and bitter , Also the store do not care when any car park on the handicap parking , The police should ride by and fine those who park on a designated parking for the disable , Anyways the service is very rude by this short looking employees read more

Did not care for the taste at all!!! My wife took one bite and threw it in the trash. read more

Supermercado El Torito - Steak Taco - Mexican Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Tried this place the first week they were open. When we walked in- we both commented on the interior. The decor is clean and refreshing from all other Mexican restaurants in the area. We were given tuna ceviche and fried corn tortillas instead of salsa and chips, it was extremely tasty. They have a large offering of seafood on the menu. Since this was our first time trying we stayed with our favorites, steak quesadillas and steak burrito, both were excellent. We will go back and try their more original menu items. read more

Very good, real, Mexican food with a market & butcher shop included. Great ceviche Thurs/Sat and terrific al pastor in the market. Best authentic Mexican food in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Monday around 11:30 and upon first glance it's a grocery store, but walk to the back and there's a small restaurant. It's very authentic to the point where our waitress couldn't speak much English and asked for a translator at one point. I ordered 3 various tacos and my boyfriend had 2 tacos and a side of rice and beans. The food was fresh and delicious. There's also a sauce bar you can select whatever type of sauce you want. Along with cucumbers, radish, and pickled peppers. Our bill was $18.34. They charge for water as they give you a water bottle and their rice and beans was very bland. Served on paper plates, figured if being charged more for the rice and beans they'd at least be on a real plate. Overall, it was good, pricier than what I expected for a mom and pop type of taco shop. But I'd still return if I was in the area. read more

This place is an UNCUT GEM. A hidden TREASURE. Absolute bomb shell. 100% authentic Mexican at a great price. Love.

This place is the most authentic Mexican in Dothan. I have been looking for a authentic Mexican restaurant and I have found it. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. This place have definitely earned my business. They have homemade Chorizo, pork skins, and variety of raw meat with seasoning. You can get the meat without seasoning. Everything that you can think of or want is here. I absolutely love this place after one visit. read more

As a former Californian, I am always on the hunt for excellent Mexican food wherever I end up. This place has a market in the front with basically anything you could want, including all the best candy. And there's a restaurant in the back with a menu that is delicious and guaranteed to put you in a food coma for sure. Will definitely be a repeat costumer because this place is it! read more

Ordered 2 beef tacos normally you think of lettuce, and cheese on them but here they don't its only tortilla beef and onion. I loved it!!!

We found this place two weeks after moving to Dothan, initially went in t but some plantains, and seen the cafe in the back and we were eating tacos at 11 am. We have gone back several times over the years trying alot of menu Items and have brought all our friends. I have purchased the seasoned meats and produce, everything is always fresh and good. They now just open a restaurant on Westgate Parkway near pinch a penny pool. Haven't been able to get in yet as they are always crowded. But i am defiantly looking foward to it. read more

The real deal. Excellent tacos, burritos. Carne asada was excellent. Hot sauce bar with all the fixings. Booths in the back of grocery store to sit in. Recommend read more

I absolutely love this place! Everyone is so friendly and the food is AMAZING! I eat there a couple times a month... authentic Mexican food!! read more

Ran across this place while staying at a nearby hotel in Dothan. Very authentic food, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was excellent and very attentive. They are in the back of a grocery/meat market where you can find a lot of interesting items. read more

Probably the most authentic mexican joint here in Dothan! The actual restaurant is behind their market. They speak very little English, but it wasn't hard to order. I got sopes with asada. The masa was slightly crunchy, which I loved! The meat was flavorful and topped with delicious crumbled cheese. I also love how they have 4 different kinds of sauce (at their sauce bar). They also have turnips, limes, salsa, and chips! Definitely coming back to get my taco fix next time. read more

Expectations are important. Don't expect a fancy Mexican restaurant with margaritas and flaming fajitas. This is more authentic Mexican, but every bit as delicious. If you like simple carne asada tacos sprinkled with lime, you are in for a treat. I also picked up a coconut ice pop looking thing from the freezer which blew my mind. I'm going back today for more of both. read more

Best at everything , get the tacos and never eat at the other Mexican places in Dothan ever again.

This place is a little rough around the edges which add to the atmosphere. Food was phenomenal but the service is probably typical of service in rural Mexico. Once again the service communication issues adds to the ambiance of the place. Food was wonderful. read more

Supermercado El Torito - Mexican Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

The food is good the salsas are spicy and it is authentic. Giving it 3 stars because it could be cleaner, it's a small space but it could be kept better. I would go back again and order something other than tacos or enchiladas. read more

Authentic Mexican food! You won't find anything like it anywhere near here. Large selection of meat! Has a storefront and market, restaurant is in the back. They also serve beer. Highly recommend if you want some real Mexican food. read more

I went here on an *interesting* school field trip multiple times and the food was just delicious. They are authentic mexican food and drinks. It felt like I was in a real mercado in Mexico. They had a shop right next to the restaurant and they had very cool mexican treats and snacks. It looks a little... (tbh) sketchy on the outside and inside but is totally worth it. read more

Very authentic Mexican food and locally owned! A real find amid all these chains in Dothan. The tacos, tamales and gorditas are excellent. A new favorite!!! read more

There is a small store at the entrance, selling spices, maltas and candies. I honed in on a peanut pattie, a candy taking me back to childhood!!! I could not wait until I got home to start snacking down memory lane......screech....brakes!!! The entire underside of the candy was full of bug shells, pieces and whole! I immediately checked date and it was expired by 2 months! When I returned to the store and showed this to the clerk, unconcerned was reaction to say the best. No apology. Just refund of money. As I was leaving the store, I checked the rest of the candy display. Every one had bug pieces. I showed this to the clerk and he actually shrugged his shoulders! I really wonder what is hidden out of sight!! Health Department are you listening? read more

Overall horrible experience. Had trouble ordering due to lack of staffs fluency in the English language. I ordered the beef tacos (the woman behind the counter would only refer to it as "meat" not beef) and my girlfriend ordered the beef (once again "meat") quesadilla. Quality of the "meat" was dog food at best. Chips and salsa are left out in open air for everyone to grab as they please. Overall cleanliness of the restaurant was poor. Two thoughts entered my mind upon leaving. 1.) I will never eat there again 2.) does the health department even know there is a restaurant in the back of the store. read more

The tacos are amazingly good. I would post a picture but I was too excited about eating them first. It's been hard trying to find a good Mexican food place and here it is. They also have a market where you can buy fresh meet and what ever else you might want to take home and make it yourself. read more

Tacos were average, but the tortas were amazing! The bread is legit, and the veg bar is fulled with fresh condiments. Buay Sunday crowd, but servers moved tables quickly and with courtesy. read more

Best authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. It looks like a grocery story going in but keep walking the the back and you will see it. Seriously the best food. I love the street tacos and the tamales. The cheer dip and guacamole are to die for too. read more

Love the authenticity of this place ! I ordered the fish and it was pretty delicious ! The sauces at the stand are really delicious, but super spicy so beware ! The green tomatillo sauce is my favorite ! read more

I picked up tacos last night for the first time in several months. Service and food are still great. I wish we could come here every day.

Love the food, quick service. The restaurant is in the back of the supermarket. Best food around. The meat counter always has great cuts of meat and the service there is wonderful too! read more
