Straight up standard fair here at Taqueria El Toro. Not gonna blow your socks off, but it's good. Had the 3 Street Tacos Combo. Comes with sides of rice and beans, drink, and red or green salsa. I go green as it's less spicy. Since frequenting Kalaveras, I hold them as the high bar standard for street tacos. Sorry El Toro... you're not on their level. Nevertheless, you should... Go here. read more

Birria ramen sounded really good on a cold rainy day so I found Taqueria El Toro. I ordered a bowl of birria ramen, 2 quesabirria tacos w consome, and a large horchata. The birria was absolute fire!! The consome was very tasty!! Salsa was very hot (even for me, who has a very high spice tolerance), but i poured it all in my birria ramen which gave it an extra spicy kick that I enjoyed very much!! All of the aguas are homemade, so of course I had to try their horchata. It was so good and definitely had that yummy homemade taste!! Service was very pleasant and helpful. Plenty of outside seating, and parking is on a private lot. Prices were decent. I can't wait to come back to try other items. Birria and horchata are really, really good though. Highly recommend when you're in the area!! read more

Stopped by here on a whim. It was mid morning and it was one of the few shops open. I ordered the nopal and carne asada tacos since they didn't have Lengua. My friends ordered the burritos. The carne asada was a little dry but the salsa helped a little and I wasn't too big a fan of the nopal. The service was great however and really fast. Just wish there were more options I could've chose from. There was a lot of seating as it was morning but we ordered our food to go and didn't end up eating at the restaurant. read more

We were out in the middle of nowhere (at least to us) to enjoy the desert bloom, which was really beautiful. After a couple of miles of hiking we had worked up a good appetite. I just had the sense that there had to be some good authentic mexican food in the area and started searching on Yelp. After a few other choices, this came up and I knew this was the place. If you are coming here expecting a posh atmosphere, you need to reset the expectations. Thankfully, we had in mind a place that specializes in tacos in a clean environment. This was it. We walked in and everything was clean and inviting. The individual taking our order was very pleasant and patient with us as we bombarded her with questions. We ordered several tacos - seafood, steak, etc. - and also got steak nachos. Everything was FANTASTIC. We debated what made it so good - was it the tortillas? Fresh ingredients? The cheese? All of the above? Doesn't matter. They were bomb. Best we have had since El Fogon in Playa Del Carmen. read more

Was excited to try this place after reading good reviews on Yelp. They're open for dine in or takeout. The restaurant was clean inside and they make homemade tortillas. They have meats varying from carne asada, pollo, carnitas, to more rare things like buche, tripa, and lengua. The buche was good and the carne asada has good flavor. I found the carnitas to be really dry and not very flavorful and the Birria also was fatty and lacking in flavor. The rice was good as was the horchata. Staff was friendly and prices reasonable. Kinda skimpy on cilantro, onions, and salsas though. read more

When the tacos came we were pleasantly surprised at the generous portions. Chopped grilled chicken, fresh pico de gallo and guacamole ( not avocado spread). The salsas are flavorful and interesting. Big wedges of juicy lime. The elote tamale was sooooo amazing. Rich corn flavor and something else though I can't put my finger on it.

I ordered some Carne Asada fries to see if their meat was worth the hype. It was, I loved my meal! The carne was perfectly crispy and cooked, no fat detected. My only issue was the overload of onion, but that's an easy fix for the next visit. Tacos Los Palomos is very reminiscent of traditional Mexican restaurants. They're making big waves with their Oaxacan dishes and flavor. From the tiniest ingredients, from cheese and beyond, everything is top-notch. Note, possibly due to the cost of these ingredients, the menu is mildly pricey. It was $64 for three people with three meals and three drinks. Thankfully, they have deals everyday like torta discounts on Sundays. Service was solid, the girl at the register was fun. The ambiance was pretty mellow. Sometimes they had soccer games playing or music, other moments they had moments of quiet. I loved the big faux tree in the middle of the restaurant, it's like a "themed cafe"!

We will probably go back, though I doubt we will be regulars there. The vibe there is young and hip, we are neither of those things.

Taquería El Toro is probably one of the best Mexican Restaurants I've been to in my 23 years of life. If you ask my Father, it's the best Burrito in California. The staff is friendly, the facility is always clean, you can watch them make your food because the Kitchen is open to the dining area. All in all, I give it 5 stars read more

Prices are a little on the higher side for street tacos, but these weren't skimpy. They're thick, fresh, and worth it. Carne asada had a great char and seasoning, and the al pastor had that nice balance of savory and sweet. I'll be back for sure. 100%

The first enchilada was ok, it had shredded chicken (I think) but the second had some kind of chewed up mystery meat. It smelled weird so I just threw it away.

I came out here to visit my parents and found this place nearby where they live and took them out. The owners are so sweet and took care of us, and the food had HUGE portions and were so good! The carne asada burrito platter could easily feed two people. I got the chicken fajitas and they were seasoned so well, but not too spicy, and came out sizzling. It was so tender it was falling apart while I was putting it in the tortillas! Even the chips and tortillas came out hot--fresh I think? The restaurant's decor was pretty typical for a small, casual strip mall place, nothing fancy, but everything was clean. There was a TV on but it wasn't too loud. There's a really beautiful mural on the wall, too. I wish I lived nearby so I could go more often. Definitely try it out!!

This soup is made really well no fat floating around the top clear broth & just big tender chunks of beef along with a good amount of veggies as well! And the rice it comes with is delicious also! A little pricey but I feel like the portion made up for that. Definitely will be coming back with my family I can imagine how good everything else is! Service was friendly as well must try!

Pricey, nice servers but not a customer first mentality, and mid-to-straight up awful tasting food…read more I do not recommend the caldo de res as the meat smelled like it went bad and they said it was fresh..... they didn't believe it tasted bad because someone apparently said it was good earlier? Okay... and my mom has had it before. The wet burrito and carne asada fries were decent. I wasn't expecting them to refund me but considering the tip I gave from the beginning I thought they'd at least believe us that the meat went bad... it smelled horrible. Last time I'm going here.

We visited this business on Friday for the advertised 99-cent taco special that was being promoted…read moreon a local radio station. We had also stopped by in person beforehand and were told that the 99-cent tacos would be available all day on Friday. When we arrived on Friday, we were seated and asked about the taco special. The employee informed us that they were no longer offering the 99-cent tacos, explaining that serving them all day would be "too much work." Unfortunately, her response came across with some attitude. I understand it may have been a busy day because of the promotion, but that doesn't excuse advertising a special and then choosing not to honor it. The food itself was good, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. Businesses should honor the promotions they advertise or clearly communicate any limitations in advance. False advertising creates frustration and leaves customers with a negative impression.

I ordered 1. Chilaquiles and 6 PLAIN sopes. They were going to charge me $80+ dollars ???!!??? Which is insane and unreasonably expensive for plain sopes with no meat. Thinking that it was going to be cheaper. I even asked for the price over the phone but that's when the girl hung up on me. I asked if I can just take the sopes and leave the chilaquiles because it was so expensive. She refused and said that I would have to pay the full amount since I ordered a lot of food. I decided to just cancel the transaction and leave with no food. Horrible service with unreasonable prices for mid food.

The gentleman who made it pressed it and added everything straight from the grill! My mulita was VERY flavorful. However, the prices here are through the roof! It cost me $21 dollars for one mulita and a cup of cucumber water. I was a little annoyed as other options down the street have great authentic Mexican food and for a reasonable price. I get that it costs to purchase fresh ingredients, however other places don't overcharge like here. The restaurant was also blazin' hot, there's no AC. It was killer on a hot day. Don't recommend coming during the summer. The gentleman who made my tortillas and mulita was super nice and I would definitely give him five stars if I was rating solely on his customer service! I'll come back but not that often...
