    Quesatacos combo plate, 3 tacos
    Betty R.

    This is tucked into a small shopping center just passing Alondra on Pioneer. It's behind the car wash. The shopping center is a bit run down, and parking sometimes is a challenge, but the place is not a sit down place. There is only one or two small tables so I recommend ordering for takeout. The place is tucked almost to the corner. Now to what you've been yearning for, review of the freaking food. Quesobirria tacos *chef's kiss*; they do jot skimp out on the meat and it's nice and moist. I didn't even want to dip it in the consome since it was so good on its own! The consome is also delicious. Not too salty and perfect with a splash of lime. Rice and beans were okay. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did if you give it a try!

    El Cochino Chido goes to El Toro Chido for tacos https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=f_AzfFDa1ccS4pynK_CFJg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Looking for another taqueria to check out, I managed to find El Toro Chido. El Toro Chido is a quaint hole in the wall, serving up cheap eats. Originally wanting tripas, cabeza, lengua or buche, I was told they didn't have them. Amongst the choices of asada, pastor, pollo & chorizo, I decided on 3 al pastor tacos. Tacos al pastor ($1.87/each) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X-pPixdmoim3STDmDGUp1A&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Tacos under $2? That's a bargain! Most places now charge $3 to $4. The al pastor tacos had ample amounts of meat, although it didn't taste fresh. As if it's been out for awhile. The salsa had good heat, and 3 tacos were enough to satisfy me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=juqVttrUKLB616gfCmaPAQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The wait wasn't long before I had my food. Only a few tables to dine at, El Toro Chido is a takeout taqueria, and not for groups. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=HADh9yIN_n--spQ49daLBw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cheap eats, full bellies. El Toro Chido is great for buying lots of tacos. While not the highest quality, their tacos area also cheaper, so know what to expect. I wouldn't mind coming back, and exploring the rest of the menu the next chance I get.

    These Birria tacos are amazing

    One of the BEST tacos in Norwalk if not in SoCal. A must try with lime and the soup. Yum yum!

    David C.

    Food and service were pretty good but I did pick this place specifically for goat or chivo birria. Beef is fine, but available just about anywhere these days and true birria fans know it should be made from goat. Anyway, they should update the menu and give people a heads up. As for their beef version, it's pretty damn good. Just disappointed that I wasn't able to get what I wanted because the online menu was dated and was too hungry to find another spot for dinner. Pro tip: order ahead if you can. Don't get the queso taco or hard shell tacos unless you are eating there. They get soggy/soft on the drive home.

    We were craving taco this time so I pulled out Yelp for some recommendations. Luckily, we are really close to the location. Another wonderful gem! Parking can be difficult. Store is small. We were undecided on which one to get so we got Taco Combo and Quesatacos. The consome is delicious, not too oily. It's so good that we ordered more. Definitely recommend this spot!

    Hey I know there's tons of taco places in Norwalk to go to, but you're here. It's a hole in the wall in this mini strip mall, could probably seat 5 tables if you squeezed them in, but that's not the point. The point is you wanted Birria Tacos, like someone told you or you saw some video online of how the tortilla is dipped first in the consumme (soup broth) then quickly grilled and how the meat is super tender cuz its been cooking for hours. Well this is where you get it! They have more like $1 taco tuesdays and even family platters but you're here for the Birria so get them and see how tasty it is. I ended up dipping all my other street tacos into the consumme as well; 2 cabeza and 2 buche. All of it was delicious and after the 2nd time; all flavors and quality were consistent so we're coming here for tacos, hurry up a line is forming.

    Consomé
    Mauricio M.

    Potentially, one of the best tacos I have had in my life. My life is changed for better since I visited this restaurant. Very friendly and fast personnel as well! Also, don't forget to orden your consomé. Truly a blessing for Southern CA.

    John I.

    So what we were looking for was the authentic goat (chivo) birria. We found it here and it was good. The listing on the overhead menu doesn't tell the whole story. Ask for the takeout menu to see all the options. They do have Taco Tuesday here. However, the goat is not a Taco Tuesday option (interestingly, not carnitas either). They do have a fairly good selection of tacos for Taco Tuesday though: asada, pollo, lengua, cabeza, chorizo, tripo, buche, pastor. Points for having an A health grade rating.

    Caldo de Birria! So gooooood!
    Marco D.

    Caldo de Birria was fire! Meat was so soft, tender, and shreds as you take them out the stew. It came with corn tortilla, cilantro and onions, special sauces green and orange. So gooooood! My wife didn't like the carne asada tacos so much but I did. She said it need to be charred or cooked longer but that's because she likes her carne well done. Next time we will order and emphasize well-done. My daughter ordered the carne quesadilla but she didn't like the surprised onions. Usually, quesadilla comes plain from our experience. No big deal, next time we will emphasize no onions. Small issue with easy fixes. We're going to try the quesatacos and nachos next time. Highly recommend this place. Just make sure you emphasize your order if you have certain requests.

    Excellent service. Even went so far as to go to a nearby store to get chopsticks to eat the birrieria ramen with. High quality ingredients with lots of attention to detail on taste and presentation.

    The birria tacos is definitely not Tijuana style
    Alberto S.

    The tacos are not definitely not Tijuana style or any style we've had. The consume didn't have any flavor, the salsa was not for birria, they didn't have any customer bathrooms. I cannot judge the rest of the food but the birria if I've had more than two thumbs, I would give it more than two!

After purchase I looked at receipt and saw it had 2x of each carne asada and al pastor quesotacos, I figured that's fine to have extras. I Also got 10x al pastor tacos, 10x carne asada, 6x carnitas with all the garnishes, onions and cilantro. Took it to go to a soccer game. There were 2 boxes of quesotacos.. and only 2 tacos in each box. So now I'm confused wondering why the cashier said each order came with 3 and I'm still confused whether they skimped me on 8 quesotacos or I got the 4 that was on the receipt because the menu does not say how many it comes with. The quesotacos were good, came with red onions and peppers pineapples and sauce on the side in the box. Took the rest of the 26x tacos home to my parents and I wish they had onion and cilantro at their bar because the tacos hardly had any at all. Usually the cilantro and onions will fall off and you can put it back in the taco but that definitely wasn't even the case. Some of the tacos didn't even have any onions or cilantro, they totally missed. The carnitas was not good, there was this white hard chewy thing in them I don't know what it was. The Al pastor and carne asada were good. The amount of meat in the tacos was below average. I've been to other places that give a lot of meat. Which was surprising because the quesotacos had a lot of meat, the regular tacos did not. Anyway, I think I got the short end of the stick here.
