    Sope de shredded beef

    Bathroom is extremely clean! Service from Alejandra is amazing!! She's super friendly and helpful and kind. Recommend their fresh made sopes. DELICIOUS!!! And their pineapple juice is great as well.

    The only spot I go to for some crispy or crunchy chicken tacos. The vibes are always cool there. The restaurant is always clean and chill as far as noise level. The tacos are always made fresh to go. The service is usually quick being that I pull when there's not a lot of customers. I used to waiting about 5-10 mins while I post up outside and get some fresh air or let my dog run around at the park across the street. The service was great. The employees were welcoming, professional and friendly. No problems with placing my order for 5 chicken tacos. Came out to $12 and something including the tax. It's been a while but it seems as if they may have cut down on the portion size of shredded chicken inside the tacos. They were still good tho. Especially with that avocado sauce or salsa.

    It's a good quick place to get something to eat. We were going somewhere else but there was no seating and was happy we found this place. It's clean, quick, good and has plenty of seating inside. It also has a drive through. I appreciate that they have a vegan food on the menu and make their rice & beans vegan. The Aguas are also good, we got half Jamaica and half cucumber and it was sooo good. We ordered: Aguas, chips & Guac, green enchiladas and the 2 item Combo with a taco dorado de desehbrada and a soft Mexican taco.

    Overall food ranges from ok to good. Mexican taco with chicken was excellent but crispy shredded beef taco and fried fish taco were just average at best. But the price was very reasonable

    Taco Del Mar Shrimp  Fresh-Made Cucumber Lemonade

    This spot was recommended by a friend in the area, and it's definitely a solid local go-to, especially for late-night cravings since they're open until midnight (and sometimes later, according to Google). I've tried a variety of tacos here, including the Taco Del Mar (fish: both fried and grilled, and shrimp), Surf and Turf, Barbacoa, and Carnitas. My favorites are definitely the Shrimp and Barbacoa. The Carnitas were pretty dry, and I'm picky about Asada, it lacked flavor for me. They serve a cucumber lime water that's a must-try. It's super refreshing and perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The drive-thru is a major plusreally convenient and usually quick. When dining in, the staff has always been polite and attentive. They bring you squeeze bottles of red and green salsa, both of which are delicious.

    Fish Taco Del Mar, so sad.

    Solid place always good service and affordable/ love it here. Always happy to show up here and get solid fast Mexican on the go

    Crispy Taco
    Dylan V.

    El Torazo is a local favorite. This visit I got the Crispy Tacos-chicken, Chips & Salsa and an El Mexicano Burrito- Asada. The food was tasty, I enjoy the contrast in salsas; the red being smoky, spicy and complex. Mix that with the tangy, creamy green salsa and it elevates the flavor profile of tacos and in this occasion a simple bag of tortillas chips. Thanks again El Torazo for quenching my hunger!

    Delicious and the Manager very professional and Bonita :)

    Three roll tacos extremely delicious Service is on point and the manager is extremely professional and very sweet bonus. She's very Bonita Señorita.

    The 3 combo taco plate, yummy this place is really good , the food is super flavorful. Definitely recommend it.

    I love this place! Great value! Great taste!! They have a Taco Tuesday. The staff is friendly and service is quick. It's close jso I go frequently. They sometimes decorate for various holidays, which makes it fun.. you can either do street parking or in the lot. Definitely try if you haven't been before.

    Taco Roll Combo

    We eat here on a regular basis approx 3- 5xs a month. We mostly go thru the drive thru but eat inside on occasion. Service inside and out is always friendly. Food is always yummy! I usually order shredded beef flautas which comes with rice, beans and a drink. If I had one complaint, it's that they don't offer unsweetened tea. No biggie, I always have a bottle of water with me. Great Service, Good Food!

    Carne asada burrito with old rice
    Angel R.

    Visited on a Friday night at around 9:30 pm ordered a carne asada burrito and a corn on a stick. The service was really fast which I thought was pretty strange. Once getting to enjoy the burrito at home it wasn't what I was expecting. The rice inside the burrito was really dry the beans didn't even taste any. The meat was okay not the best the salsa tasted the same as king taco salsa. The burrito was also small and skinny not satisfying at all. The only good in my order was the corn on the Cobb which was tender and juicy. Oh and the chips were also good really fresh. I went through drive thru so didn't see what it felt like inside the restaurant. I really didn't care for it so just keep that in mind.

I only waited a few minutes after. I received my food. It was well packaged. They offered me some salsa. I took the red, green and the bag with some lemons and cucumber. I ordered a vampiro with carne asada and al pastor(con todo), chicken taco, birria taco ( con todo) I'm going to start with my favorite, to my least favorite. Vampiro: visually it looked very appetizing. I was excited to try it. The looks were not deceiving! It was flavorful crunchy. It made me happy when I bit into it. My only Takeaway would be that it was a bit greasy. Aside from that, I loved it! Chicken taco: this one surprised me. When I bit into it, it had a nice smoky flavor in the meat. Very tasty! With a dash of the red and green salsa with a lemon squeeze! it really elevated it more. My only Takeaway would be a little dash of some salt overall I enjoyed this taco and it was delicious. Birria taco: this one made me sad. It was my least favorite and I love Birria. It lacked flavor the meat was chewy even with the salsa and lemon, I hated it. Super greasy although it looked beautiful it was not it. I wish I could have scored it better. I spent $14.80 I think this included the tip.

He ordered lengua, buche and suadero. Lengua was a little tough and the other two had no flavor. As for my order, I had quesa birria tacos and they were okay, the salsa and chile made a difference, can't say the same for my bf order. Let's talk about cleanliness, floors dirty, tables dirty. I can understand it was a busy night because there seem to be having students and parents from a Friday night high school football game but I believe this is the time where they should be on their A game and have someone walking around cleaning tables. Salsa area was a mess and noone to clean it. This was our first and last time coming in.

Burrito was generously filled with cheese, rice, beans, and tender carne asada, all wrapped in a perfectly toasted tortilla. The meat had a wonderful smoky flavor, and the burrito itself was huge, making it a filling and satisfying meal for the price. The highlight for me was the O.G.
