Stopped by Taqueria El Toro last week after a few people had recommended this place. I'll admit my…read moreexpectations may be shaped by having a lot of Tex Mex style food in Texas, but I wanted to give this a try. When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.

First visit. Not my favorite Raleigh taqueria but ok if you are in the neighborhood…read more Tacos were good (both types of chicken) with good portions of meat and tasty flavors. Counter service was very friendly. Menu seems diverse. Restaurant is huge and clean. Prices are good value. Salsa bar was lacking. Only two types of salsa and was not a fan of either. : ( Tortilla Chips are the variety that are thicker, harder, and not as tasty. And they were probably over cooked. : ( Burrito was just ok but again good portion.

Think of the most average strip-mall Mexican spot imaginable--now stop, because you've arrived. No…read moreneon sombreros, no mariachi murals, just a reliable lineup of tacos and enchiladas served with all the enthusiasm of a Tuesday afternoon. Comfortingly plain, pleasantly predictable. The system is simple: no servers, no guidance--just you, a counter, and a menu with more items than the Cheesecake Factory tried on a dare. Place your order, take your number, and prepare for the ceremonial calling of digits while you sit in chairs that are definitely not here for comfort. The chorizo burrito is huge, yes, but so is the mystery of when its ingredients last encountered a farm. Each bite tastes like it was compiled, not cooked--layer after layer of "good enough" wrapped lovingly in a tortilla that's doing most of the heavy lifting. The overall experience can best be described as "serviceable." You get food. You sit. Your number gets shouted. You consume a burrito of questionable freshness. You survive. It's a place where expectations come to rest comfortably low--and for better or worse, the restaurant meets them exactly. Cheers!

Not sure if they were trying to get rid of me to have more room for people or what'. Ordered my food and waited. Waited some more. Saw people who ordered after me get their food. Even people who hadn't been seated yet when I ordered my food had already gotten their plates. Waste of an hour sitting here to get no food. They did comp my drink but just not a good feeling there today. Not sure I'll be coming back.

I happened to stumble upon it when down there for work one time and now I stop in every time I go to Angier. They make their own tortillas here and sell them as well as their own tortilla chips and freshly made salsas. The tamales here are the best I've ever had. I'm a huge fan of the pollo (chicken) ones which are made with a spicy verde sauce. They're sooo good. I also love their puerco (pork) tamales. I always grab a container or two of their salsas and some of their tortilla chips. The salsas go really well on top of the tamales too. I often buy extra tamales to freeze and eat later too. Don't miss out on this spot when in Angier.

(Instead of a little glass of mixed fish ceviche). I ended up taking 1/2 of it home. So I had another delicious meal the next day. It was loaded with shrimp, as well as sliced whole avocado, shredded cilantro, tomato, and red onions. With Orange slices. My husband had a chefs special with steak , rice and sliced avocado. He also enjoyed his meal. We are bringing my daughter and family there next week for her birthday. I highly recommend Guajillo Mexican Grill.

This was a delivery order - YMMV for dine-In…read more The Elote appetizer was tasty, but the corn itself wasn't great either tiny kernels and because thy just threw it in a styrofoam container that didn't close it was room temp when it arrived. A 1 cent piece of foil and fresh seasonal corn would have gone a long way. The chorizo queso was also very tasty, but the delivery serving size was maybe 1/4 cup really too small. We ordered both chicken and carnitas chimichangas - and couldn't tell which was which because nothing was labeled. They might have been crunchy when made but when delivered they were lukewarm and soggy. And to top it off the tres leches cake came without the ordered toppings. This could have been a great delivery dinner but alas........
