Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas, and both were amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all just perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. My daughter had the bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans and loved it too. They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good. Some Mexican restaurants can make things overly salty, but everything here tasted balanced and fresh. I also had a Paloma and it was made perfectly. Before we left we decided to try the churros and I'm so glad we did. They were filled with this amazing cream and came with a caramel sauce for dipping. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but these were seriously incredible. Great location, great service, amazing food, and everything tasted fresh and well made. We will definitely be back!

Got the fajitas that came with shrimp, chicken and beef and flour tortilla. It's a bit expensive but comes with a lot of food that you can split with 2 people. Also includes chips with small guac/salsa. As for the food itself, the chicken was a bit dry. Didn't really like the flavor of the shrimp. The beef, veggies and rice were good. The salsa and guac didn't have much flavor. Might need to come back and try something different next time.

We asked for water twice. He took our order for drinks. I ordered a mango margarita and my daughter (28 years old) wanted the same on the rocks. Unfortunately, she didn't bring her ID as we hadn't really planned on dining out. He refused to serve her. Ok no problem. However, my drink didn't have any alcohol at all. (I'm well over 21 years old). Told the waiter my drink was without alcohol and my daughter's drink was blended, not on the rocks! Waiter came back with a jigger of tequila. Finally got our water. We ordered the birria tacos, 3 beef tacos and a burrito. it did not have the consume dip that is supposed to come with it ( had to request from the waiter) & the whole entire taco shell fell apart. The portions were quite small and the prices have surely gone up for the amount of food on the plate. The burrito wasn't bad. Service wasn't great. Waiter never refilled our water glasses. He kept pushing dessert when we weren't even finished with our meal. Ambiance is typical of most Mexican style restaurants. Sorry, but we will not be going back to El Torito.

I took a seat at the bar at Frida's and realized that this place was perfect for watching games. They had plenty of TVs with soccer and baseball games on. That's a plus for me. In addition, the seats at the bar are so comfy! I ordered two carne asada tacos at the bar and the were delicious. The meat was well seasoned and tender. I got just a bit of char for extra flavoring. It came with chips and salsa. On top of that, I got the Taco Tuesday price and only paid $8 after taxes. Miguel T was very attentive. He greeted me right when I sat down, refilled my water without me having to ask, he checked on me after my first bite, checked on me a few more times and thanked me when I left. Perfect service, perfect food, perfect ambiance, excellence pricing and so, a perfect score. Thanks Frida's!

When the craving hits, it's always tacos!…read more I stopped by Tacos El Goloso on PCH and ordered a mix of street tacos (carnitas and al pastor) along with the tacos dorados de birria. I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

I got the birria plate (3 tacos with cheese, consomé, chips, salsas, etc.) and it was a full 10/10. Everything was balanced, flavorful, and authentic. Horchata was on point too. My girl got asada tacos -- super clean and really good. Only thing is there's no toppings bar, but they give you everything you need and the portions are dialed in. If I'm ever in the area craving Mexican food, I'm coming straight here -- no question. And they had the basketball game on, perfect. Super fast service by the way!

I thought the guac needed a little more seasoning but very fresh. Chips were thin and crispy. Been here a few times and will keep coming back.

Parking is not that easy at Downtown Torrance but we found parking near the bank. We went in and was greeted by front of house. The place was a bit dimly lit in my opinion. We were seated in a booth near the bar area. Chips and salsa were served with our drinks. I ordered the mini beef tostada. We also ordered chicken quesadilla and burrito especial for my husband. The mini tostada was huge and loaded with tomatoes, beef and lettuce. It was ok. I enjoyed the quesadilla more. My husband found the burrito especial tasty and would like to come back and eat there again next time. Maybe the next time, when I try something different from the menu, the stars will bump up.
