My parents have been coming here for years. Today l my dad slipped on some water on the ground from a leaking vent. He fell hard and even the table flipped. None of the workers even considered to ask him if he was ok. He did end up hurting himself . It wasn't until he fell they put a sign up and some napkins on the floor.. Also still had to pay full price for their meal. He turned 69 last week. unfortunately will not be returning . read more

Came in with a group of friends because I was craving street tacos man I wasn't disappointed. The outside isn't very appealing but walking in reminded me of the old school mexican restaurants. Very nostalgic and has a vakery cabinet when you walk in with pan dulces.I got the menu and ended up ordering a big Cali burrito with 2 tacos de lengua The food came out in about 5 min pretty fast. It was good. Burrito a solid 6 outa 10 good size Lenga tacos 6 outa 10 good flavor and soft they per packed! All in all a good experience read more

Stopped into Taqueria El Toro to grab some tacos to bring to a friends party. The tacos were a huge hit with everyone loving them and the hot sauces. The red was my favorite with a nice amount of heat. The staff was great too, my daughter and I came in not knowing what we wanted but took the time to help us pick everything we wanted. Definitely will be coming back to enjoy eating in and trying some of their pastries! read more

Their service is wonderful! The tortillas are amazing home made! So far everything I've tried has been delicious! Service is AWESOME! read more

Taqueria El Toro - Chilaquiles Beef Plate and gorditas! - Mexican Near Me - Forest Hill, Texas

The food tasted good but the portions were not enough. We paid $37.00 for a "parrillada" for 2 and it just didn't seem to be enough. The tortillas were fresh and handmade so that was good but they charged too much for add-ons like $1.04 for a lime and $3.11 for a side of queso fresco without even advising us of the cost. The service was ok but our waitress lacked motivation and a smile. The restaurant looked good inside except for the one fly that kept flying over our food. It was mostly clean and colorful but I doubt we will be back. read more

The egg, bacon, cheese and bean taco has no flavor, we got it for breakfast and they made us get 3 tacos but we wanted 1, and when we got them we went back to our hotel and ate them and the beans had no flavor and the tortilla was sweet. But a day before I got their bean and cheese burrito and it was good the beans and cheese had flavor. And the place was clean just the taco was not that good read more

The service was good we were greeted when we came in and ordered chips and salsa. The salsa that comes with the chips is really good not spicy but has a good taste. The aguas frescas are bomb!!! We had the melon and limonada they were very refreshing and good. Check the pictures for the food review. The service could have been better, and our food came out separately it would have been nice to have gotten all our food at the same time. The decor is cool typical Mexican vibe and music was good. Price was a bit high for what we received but you know - inflation. We will be back. I want to try the posole next!! All in all good place. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! Enchiladas were great, but Probably get a diff meat than chicken, bc it tasted like overcooked stringy chicken. Beans and rice were okay. Salad was awkward because I didn't know if you eat it together with the enchiladas or not. Just dressing-less veggies with avocados. Birria tacos were very tasty though. We got beef Barbacoa meat which is always good everywhere. The lamb was the star of the show, though. Very juicy and flavorful. They gave us a lot of consumé and additional toppings. Big, spacious restaurant. Nice plate ware. read more

My go to for Posole! Love their Posole! Also, love the homemade corn & flour tortillas! Service was quick for my To Go order. Loved listening to the music while I waited for my order. read more

Oh em geee.... As a teacher, I order lunch a lot more than i would like to admit. This restaurant truly hits the spot when I'm wanting a "home cooked" meal. Quick and easy service! read more

Have only had the caldo de Res but it was great! Looking to coming back and trying the rest of the menu! Very cute atmosphere as well read more

Great authentic Tex-Mex food! I'm from San Antonio and I'd have to say this is the closest thing I've found. Rice is spot on, beans are 9/10 (could use some lard), and the enchiladas are wrapped in a perfect enchilada tortilla and packed with chicken. My only other recommendation would be to make the verde sauce a little less like salsa-esque and more flavorful. read more

The Cubana sandwich was excellent as was the chips & queso. You could feed a family of four with the size of the sandwich. It's huge. The restaurant includes a bakery which offered many sweets. The descriptions were in Spanish so I just selected a couple based on their inviting looks. They haven't been tried yet but based on how good the sandwich was I'm sure they will be great. read more

Service was decent. They didn't greet me but walked to the counter when I walked in and assisted me with my order. It took longer than expected to get my food so I waited in my car. Inside was decorated festively. Nice open space to dine in. All together my husband and i ordered a steak burrito, 3 steak tacos, 2 chorizo tacos, 1 pastor taco ,queso dip, and a side of rice and beans. The steak meat was tender but not seasoned at all. It's cut into bigger pieces which makes it awkward when you bite your taco and half of your meat is gone. The burrito was rated 7.8 out of 10. Super fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion, big size over all. Steak tacos were trash because of the meat. But the chorizo tacos are really good. The queso dip was thick and spicy. Tasted really good. Rice and beans good as well. Portions are super small for rice and beans for the prices they charge. Pastor taco was tender and well seasoned. Over all, it's a decent place. Just season your steak please. read more

Service was really really good ! Food was also good enough, I recommend the bread it's really good !

If I had the option to add 0 stars, I would. Well, to begin with, the service was terrible and the order had to be repeated around ten times. When the food arrived, the manager or owner rushed in and said that our soup wasn't very good. Why bring out food that has gone bad and should no longer be served? I don't want to go into further detail because that would only further clarify the situation. DO NOT COME HERE PLZ. OVER PRICED AND HORRIBLE FOOD read more

Spent $28 on a flauta plate, tres leches and a sprite. Opened up a box with lettuce thrown all over the place with terrible tasting flautas. They need a whole new recipe (if they even used one). Scared to taste the tres leches because it doesn't look moist at all. It look like a piece of standard vanilla cake. Only thing good so far is the canned sprite with they over prices as well. I've been to cheaper places (Carboneros in Huntsville) with WAAYYYY better food. Never eating here again. Edit: JUST TOOK A BITE OF MOLDY TRES LECHES read more

Best MENUDO!!!! My fiancé and I order this soup every weekend. This has became our tradition!

Great authentic mexican cuisine. We stopped in and got some tacos and enchilladas. Great when in the restaurant. When we ordered delivery, the meal was less than desirable. Not sure of the difference, but no more delivery from this restaurant. We will try to dine in again. read more

Service is friendly and efficient. The food is great. We are huge fans of the Cubana. read more

For authentic Mexican food this is NOT the place. The tortillas are store bought and not homemade, the beans are bland, and the prices are too high. The scramble eggs were over cooked and pork chop was dry. read more

Worst "Mexican" food so far. Red sauce enchilada for a kid was not normal extremely hot. After my nephew was crying cause it was hurting his mouth age 6 I tried it and it burnt my mouth there is no way that was by accident. Save your money and stay far far far away from this please. It is god awful and customer service is defensive not helpful. 1 star is really generous. read more

Very impressive this was our first time visiting. We will be back. The food was delicious and portions were way more than expected. The ceviche was fresh and tasty. Inexpensive authentic Mexican food well worth the visit. Expect to take home food. read more

The food was amazing and the service was fast and friendly! Plus a really great atmosphere!

Great food! Awesome service, very friendly! I placed my order and they made it really fast.

We came here for the first time last weekend. My husband & brother had the menudo, and I had the pozole. They serve in the authentic pottery bowls, which I loved. They food was absolutely delicious! We did order a guacamole, and thought it would be a bigger portion, but it was the amount of a small salsa bowl. We still ate it, and again food was delicious! We will be back soon! read more

I ate here for the first time today and let me say it will definitely not be the last time! They have a great variety on their menu but when I saw that they have posole I knew what I was going to order. Posole is one of my favorite things to eat and I've had some of the best, authentic posole so I tend to be picky. This did not disappoint at all!! It was right up there with the best I've ever tasted. Also, the flour tortillas tasted like they were handmade. They were chewy, hot and on the thick side. They definitely were not like tortillas you buy at the grocery store. This place is a rare find and we were the only non Hispanics in the restaurant which is usually a good sign you've found an authentic place. Their food is not what I would consider Americanized and that's a great thing!! Also our waitresses name was either J or Jay. She was so sweet, very attentive and I had the best time speaking with her. I can't recommend Taqueria El Toro enough. If you're wanting true, authentic food, you definitely need to eat here!! read more

Excellent bean and potato burrito. The red salsa was amazing. We ordered online with ease. Friendly service and nice restaurant.

Very friendly and good food the variety of food to choose from is great will be coming back
