This food IS AMAZING.. I'm honestly so confused at all the weird reviews posted about this restaurant.. I've been coming here for some years now and when I say the lady who owns this place, literally took a day off. She's so kind. She always remembers me and when I don't come back for a while, she says where have you been?. She's always so kind with my difficult order never complaining. The place has a nice comfortable feel. And not to mention the best salsa ever... I get a Carne Asada burrito with shrimp and look at how huge it is . I'm posting it so you guys can know how delicious this place because those other reviews can't be right. read more

Flavorless machaca. Soggy potatoes. Beans had so much cheese I couldn't taste anything else. 2 stars, worker was friendly. read more

Nice spot for Mexican food in chino/ chino hills area. They serve breakfast all day and have a good size menu like tacos, wet burritos, pozole. My tacos were a good size, and bigger than I thought and meat was soft. I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. FYI inside is small with limited seating, this is a great to-go spot. read more

Cash or card with a $0.65 transaction fee. Love this hole in the wall spot, food doesn't take too long to come out. I haven't dinned in and always ordered take out. They have a self serve salsa bar with other sides, you can get as much or as little as you personally need. Portions are pretty big. Street tacos have a ton of meat! Personal favorite is the Carnitas, well seasoned and isn't dry. Their street tacos has 2 tortillas stacked, sometimes it's too much meat I unstack the 2 tortillas and split the taco into 2.. oh no haha! Carne Asada Nachos are always a huge portion and definitely shareable. Never had an issue with the chips becoming soggy even if we're slowly enjoying them while watching a movie. Carne Asada Fries are kind of a hit or miss. Sometimes they're soggy, sometimes they're crispy.. It personally doesn't matter but you may need to ask for extra crispy if soggy fries isn't your thing. read more

Giving 3 stars only because the food tastes so good and they have generous portions. Otherwise it would probably be 1 star for the expensive prices and the girl at the front is not so friendly on the phone or in person. We miss the previous elderly lady she was always so sweet. The phone/answering system if they are busy they will not pick up. If they do pick up they will put you on hold for 5-10 minutes. There should be a few people answering the phones, writing orders, so they don't lose business. Overall a good little restaurant but could be much better and more efficient. Maybe also put a rope line for the people waiting in line to order, vs others waiting for orders or eating because it gets crowded and we all stand by each other shoulder to shoulder read more

Small but really good food. If you're in a hurry call your order in advance. Will go again.

Fantastic service, really big portions, food was hot and excellent. Imagine your favorite Mexican restaurant as a walk up counter. What's not to love? And they serve breakfast all day... I'm excited to try one of their breakfast burritos one of these days! Chips and salsa were super tasty! We will be back! We only wish the salsa condiment cups were bigger! read more

First off, the cashier was trying to be nice. That said, we wanted to taste the mole sauce before ordering. Just one small spoon before final discussion. Boss lady yells "NO free samples". We just wanted a taste to find out if it was to spicy before paying a lot of money for something we couldn't eat. We should've just left, but we were both starving so we ordered something else. We still ended up paying close to 40 bucks for "food" that sent us to the bathroom 2 hours later with it coming out both ends. 12 hours later, I am still feeling sick. Never going back. Next time we'll go to Del Taco, it's a lot cheaper and NEVER have they made us sick. I just wish we could get our money back. read more

If you're craving Mexican food El torito loco in chino is a great option . Their menu is extensive and offer various items it was hard to even decide what i wanted. Portions are pretty big and items are definitely loaded up. It is a very tiny resteraunt and has limited tables but there are also outdoor tables as well. The staff were really nice and we didn't wait long for our items. I ordered the taquitos plate and my friends ordered asada fries , sope, and breakfast burrito (breakfast is served all day) . Out of all the items i would recommend the taquitos plate. Overall i would say the food was pretty good and the price was fair. They also offer complimentary chips and have a salsa bar. read more

The food was decent but I would not go back for the expensive price, lack of available seating, and service.

This is my new go to lunch spot. They have an excellent crispy chicken taco for $5 that is packed full of chicken and fresh lettuce, tomato and cheese. They have a small fresh salsa bar with great salsas (green is my favorite), onion, cilantro, etc.. They have a great kids menu and they even serve breakfast all day. The woman who usually is at the register is friendly and very efficient taking orders, serving and cleaning tables. The place is small but there is outside seating. If you like Mexican food you should check it out. read more

Fish tacos are excellent. The batter is crunchy, and there's a lot of fish. The carne asada was tender and flavorful, and tacos are huge, and the price reflects that. This place can be a bit on the slow side so order ahead during rush hours. read more

Always a pleasure to come and eat here. When mobile ordering the food is always completed by the time we get to the restaurant, and never had a mistake. The food and salsa tastes fresh and serving portions are always well above what you are paying for. Also, the customer service is amazing! read more

Busy spot especially during the lunch rush but decent food. I got a beef flauta combo plate but tried a bit of the chicken and actually preferred that. Also had a horchata which was nice and not too sweet and came in a large cup. Service was friendly and there's a salsa bar to grab your own salsas and condiments. Tortilla chips provided per each table were also good. The tacos looked and smelled good so would come back to try that as well! Overall decent spot in a large plaza with lots of parking. read more

We stopped by for a quick bite and ended up loving just about everything we tried. The carne asada tacos were packed with flavor and came with a generous portion of meat -- super satisfying. I also ordered the Coronado dish, which was equally delicious and full of flavor. My only wish is that it came with more corn tortillas; it came with just three, and honestly, five would've made it perfect. The crunchy tacos were another win, especially the potato taco, which I really enjoyed. One of the highlights is the salsa bar -- so many options and they even include chips, which is a great touch (no extra charge for them!). Service was quick, prices were totally reasonable, and the location is great. There's outdoor seating, which made the experience even better with the perfect weather. Inside is a bit small, but it's cozy and quaint. Overall, this is a solid taqueria with great food, fast service, and a relaxed vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

Me and my man are always on the hunt for a good Mexican restaurant when we're on the go, or working in the area. And low in behold We discovered this gem, and let me tell you..they have some tasty tacos! I got the Chicken tacos, and they were Amazing! And he got a Carne Asada burrito, we definitely recommend this little gem! read more

El Torito Loco - This is a Carne Asada wet burrito with green and red half and half, and chicken, and Carnitas tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Chino, California

Great food get it to go the dining room is tiny. Unless you want to sit outside. We just moved to Chino and we're eating through the Mexican restaurant. Everything here is solid. read more

First time dining in at El Torito Loco with the fam, and we each went our own route with the orders-- mi mama got the chicken tostada salad, mi papa went for the taquito plate, mi hermano tackled the loco asada fries, and I kept it simple with a chorizo breakfast burrito (blessed that they serve breakfast burritos all day ). Service was quick, and we grabbed a booth indoors. The place has that hole-in-the-wall, local staple feel--nothing fancy, just straight-up food and a salsa bar that does most of the heavy lifting. Seriously, the salsas are the MVP here. The portions were generous, but the flavors didn't really wow us. Everything needed a little salsa love to bring it to life. Not bad, just not crave-worthy either. Still, if you're nearby and hungry, it's a decent pit stop. read more

They are rude and did not accommodate my 3 year old who had his own food We had just spent about $150 for our family order And was suddenly advised my son couldn't be in there with his own food. And we exclaimed we have ordered a lot of food for our other family, He's just a baby. They didn't care therefore we canceled our dinner and left and vowed to never go back again. read more

I went due to the good reviews but the food was okay at best. I ordered the chile verde burrito and left most of it. They were friendly and quick but the food was not worth going back. read more

Yoo -- These guys are the best! When it comes to street tacos?!??? Not only do they taste good, but they provide the best options. My goto is: shredded beef, shredded chicken and carnitas! Here's what makes them stand out the most... They stack the tortilla perfectly and so much portions inside that its not overwhelming but its firmly placed. WHAT A BIG PLUS! They get absolutely big points for this. I definitely recommend. ALSO Their burrito is great too!!!! read more

Great little hole in the wall Mexican style! Nice salsa bar for self service but it was a great taste given the lack of these styled restaurants near the Diamond Bar area! Not too far up Grand Ave for those in the area. read more

I am really sad I didn't take a photo of my chili relleno burrito. I added carne asada and both red and green on top. It was delicious. Very flavorful and the presentation was great. I will def be coming back here. read more

Ordered a "make your own" two item combo. I opted for the cheese enchilada with green sauce and a potato taco. Each combo plate comes with rice and refried beans. (I originally wanted to try the chile relleno but they ran out for the day). After placing my order at the counter, we found a table and were given a basket of tortilla chips and our food orders were delivered shortly after. There is a small salsa bar located in the middle of the restaurant filled with mild to hot salsas, pickled jalapeños and carrots, radishes, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and shredded cabbage. I really enjoyed my food, everything was so filling and flavorful. I recommend trying all the salsas, I couldn't decide which one I liked most , they were all so tasty! I'll definitely be back to try the chile relleno, hopefully they'll have some available next time! Lol read more

Excellent fast service here: I was craving nachos for some odd reason. I ordered their Carne Asada nachos with rice instead of beans. I didn't think it was going to show up as extremely loaded carne asada nachos with Extra bag of chips and salsa. The serving size given out was so generous here that I ate some of the leftovers for breakfast this AM . I'll be back for another type of nachos soon. It was a smaller sized restaurant, but it was cold too so didn't stick around for more pics. Next time!!!! read more

We have ate here multiple times and since the owner change it has gone downhill. The meat quality has gone downhill and makes me feel sick. The prices have skyrocketed each time... now over $20 for a fajitas place that a year ago was $14. After tax is like $22 plus they charge to use your card. I won't be returning here anymore read more

My supreme taco salad is the bomb!!!! I can't wait to bring my kids here to their food.

My family and I went out shopping and afterwards got hungry, so we decided to stop by this place to try it out. Two of us sat outside while the other two went inside to order. As my sister and I were sitting outside, she noticed three live roaches crawling underneath our table. We immediately told our mom, but she tried to brush it off at first since it was outside in the picnic area and not inside the restaurant. However, when she went inside to wait for the food, she saw several more roaches inside the restaurant--including one dead roach lying right next to the register! She was absolutely disgusted and asked for a refund. The cashier refunded our money right away without asking any questions, which makes me believe they already know this is a problem. The fact that there were multiple live roaches both inside and outside, and even a dead one by the register, is beyond unacceptable. This was one of the most unhygienic and disturbing restaurant experiences we've ever had. I would never eat here again, and I strongly recommend others stay away. Absolutely disgusting! read more

Food is delicious. But the service cashier is terrible. I would like to go and have a nice service and enjoy.

Great environment, great service, great food. Our server Salvador was very friendly and very attentive.

Good fast food and nice people. The place is in a strip type mall and we wanted California burrito. Good flavor and good size. Also had the shredded chicken taco salad and 3 chicken taquitos. The chicken had a really nice seasoned flavor. The brought us hot chips and you could get your own salsa at the salsa bar which had a good variety. read more
