We just did the carne asada self serve tacos which came with rice and beans, a giant tub of guac, tortillas, and the garnishments with two tubs of salsas. Soooo good! Everyone enjoyed it and we still had leftovers! But we were a group of about 7. So that would've served even 20 ppl id say! Thank you for helping make the meal in honor of my son's first bday. We will definitely be back just in normal days too.

I mean, I don't mind a greasy burrito but that last one was really artery clogging...LOL! But I had just coming back from drinking, and was hungry.

I know there's different cooks and different cashiers, but my visit was great! And lucky I didn't have to wait in line!

Talk about HOMERUN, haha loved the food here. And now love that they are ope 24hrs and have a drive thru haha. The order: Beef Enchilada Plate topped with added chorizo. The food was excellent, enchilada sauce so savory and a slight kick, the beef so flavorful. Topped with some fresh veg and tons of chorizo. Sooo delicious. They also loaded the chorizo. They were friendly at the window for pick up, will definitely be getting this same plate again.

Since it was close to closing, it was pretty quiet inside with only a couple of people seated. The space itself is really cute and has a cozy, inviting feel. They offer $1.50 street tacos daily with options like fish, chicken, carnitas, carne asada, and adobada. You order at the counter. There was a slight language barrier, but she was incredibly friendly and patient. She even gave me a few recommendations. It just took a little extra time, which honestly wasn't a big deal. I ordered: * Pescado: AMAZING. The tortilla had a slight crunch, and the fish was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. So good. Definitely the standout. * Pollo: I wouldn't recommend this one. The tortillas were phenomenal, but the chicken itself was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor. It comes with an avocado sauce on top, and they also brought out three different sauces, which helped, but it still didn't compare to the fish. Two street tacos came out to $3.21 after tax, and they were actually huge. For that price, you really can't beat it. I'd absolutely come back for the fish tacos alone. Service was warm and welcoming, even right before closing.

I love this place. Simple Homestyle skilled cooking. All the sauces and salsas are fresh homemade…read more It's a Mom & Pop Taco shop with some of the best homemade Mexican food. The rice and beans are especially delicious, the best! Rice is fluffy and full of flavor, the beans have the satisfying earthy bean taste they should. They have great flavors in the salsas not just spicy but full of flavor. They have habanero mango, Carolina reaper, Chile de Arbol, Jalapeño, not just hot but delicious! My favorite is a combo dish with bean tostada and taco, rice and beans. But I've eaten a lot of other dishes as well and it's so delicious! The daily special is always out-of-this-world good. On the weekends they put the taco cart out with Al Pastor cooking on the spike. The tacos are great! They have a small bar and a TV with music or movies. Not a franchise, not the same as every other cookie-cutter Taco Shop, this is true homestyle Mexican cuisine Service is good, staff is made up of family so very polite. There are imperfections that I look past because of the amazing food: Parking is metered or on crowded neighborhood street and difficult to find. It looks like a typical corner taco shop but don't let that fool you. Decor and dining area are humble. But these aren't really problems that matter much if you like the food. When I come to dine here I use my fly swatting fan in case of a fly and portable fan because no A/C. I find myself relaxing and drinking bottled soda and beer, watching a movie I've probably seen multiple times and enjoying myself. All said it seems like nothing special but this is one of my absolute favorite dives for tacos and great Mexican food.

The girl working at the counter was really nice and helpful when I asked a few questions. I ended up ordering a hard-shell potato taco, a tripa taco, a chicken taco, and a carne asada quesadilla (the quesadilla was to-go). I really enjoyed all of the tacos, but the hard-shell was exceptionally good--all the ingredients just tasted super fresh. I like the guacamole they gave with the soft tacos a lot as well. The salsa bar has 4 choices, and I like the habanero and jalapeño the most, but everything was pretty good. While bordering on too watery, there was enough flavor there to carry the salsas and they worked well on the tacos. The bar also had limes and cucumbers. When I ate the carne asada quesadilla the next day, I reheated it slowly in the oven. I was really impressed by the seasoning on the meat and the overall quality of the tortilla and ingredients. Definitely a favorite alongside the hard-shell potato taco. Overall, El Toro is a pretty solid taco spot in mid-city, with a good range of dishes, variations of items, and salsas. Hard-shell shredded potato and carne asada quesadilla for the win--I'm curious to try out a California burrito from here in the future.

Also my girlfriend ordered Rolled chicken tacos but when we got it we just got regular chicken tacos and the cashier refused to redo our order since, she said "I don't understand English".

The horchata is some of the best horchata made from actual rice milk and not dairy. They they also have margarita/drink specials. Daily specials (check the chalk board outside for that). Rudy was super friendly and checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything throughout our time there. We ordered carne asada nachos, the jumbo burger, and veggie burrito for my friend's birthday and tore it all up! Delicious. Light and not overwhelmingly greasy. The salsa verde and rojos could have a little more flavor versus just spice/heat but the chunky red salsa was good so I primarily used that one. I'll def be back for that burger and probably for some loaded fries next time
