The place smelled like spoiled chicken as soon as I walked in--not a good first impression. I ordered a 1/2 pound of barbacoa for $9.21, which felt a bit pricey. On the positive side, both the red and green salsas were flavorful and had a good amount of heat. Unfortunately, the flour tortillas were tough and overly chewy. I'd be willing to try other meat markets in the area, but this one just isn't it for me. read more

El Torito Meat Market - receipt for 1/2 pound barbacoa, 2 flour tortillas, 2 corn tortillas and a small cup 3/4 full of not spicy chicharron. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This is the new spot to go get everything you need for your BBQ or "carne asada". They also have some great food options and traditional Mexican drinks, candies, and other munchies! Food: They have some great breakfast and lunch options for those people on the go. I personally love the breakfast tacos and specially the potato and egg! Service: this was the only thing that was lacking for me since the lady at the register wasn't the nicest. I was very rudely informed that they do not take debit/credit unless your spending more than $5 which would have been nice to know before selecting my items. I think this simply offers a closer location for the people in this area of McAllen. read more

Zero stars, manager Lorena Gutierrez sure doesn't know how to, or care about, customer service. I returned a product because of it's poor quality and she said "too bad, I can't do anything about it once it's out of the store."Hello, it's your product, and I'm a paying costumer. She made No attempt to make the situation better. I didn't want my money back I just wanted for her to at least try and attempt to switch out the product for a good one. So I lost my money, but over all they lost a regular customer. read more

Nice little market. Great place to find some Mexican treats and snacks! The mustard marinated chicken came out pretty darn good on the BBQ pit and their Guacamole is a must!!! read more
