Carnitas are the best, this is legit mexican food stuff, fresh toetillas, salsas all the best gor tacos

Things have changed so much. You buy a pound of carnitas and they only give you 2 mini servings of salsa. Do you want more?' You can have more if you pay additional .50 cents for another mini serving of salsa. This is unfortunate.

Make sure to check your order before you leave. They have a new system that speeds things up a bit but it's still a hassle. We ordered 2lbs of birria goat head and a taco. $80 seemed like a bit much it would be nice if they'd put the price on things. The girl at the cashier gave us nasty attitude. Glad I checked as I noticed they charged me for 3 extra tacos. That's stealing at this point. Shame on y'all.

Ordered 3 doz. Tamales. Three types cheese, pork and chicken. My guest enjoyed them. Plus they were quite large in size. I would recommend them for future events. In the excitement they were gabbled up before we could take a pic.

Best holiday meals ever! My family has been getting food from El Toro for years. Asada and carnitas are better than turkey and ham any day of the week.

This place is the real deal. Worth the hype. Marinated meats flavor as well as quality were excellent.

Best carnitas tacos you could ever imagine. Freshly made hot tortillas. Best freshly made salsa's. Ceviche is fire

Just paid 10 dollars for 2 nasty a** tacos 1carnitas and 1 asada. The carnitas was dry like chalk no flavor. The asada was dry no flavor then they put these 2 nasty a** big pieces of masa that they call tortilla. Just got one bite on each and trash. If you want to choke on something try their tacos and find out what I mean.

Want to look like the best grill master in the world? We'll look no further, get your carne asada and chicken here! Their Carna Sada comes out super tender. No mouth workouts here. The prepared Ranchera is ready to toss on the grill no need to do anything. I have yet to taste a better carne asada than this. Now chicken usually isn't the main draw at a BBQ, but I guarantee you this will give every other meat a run for its money. The chicken is marinating beautifully. Super tender juicy everything that you would want to put in your mouth. Disclaimer. This place is a Latino owned organization, and as you pull your number to be called they only called the numbers in Spanish. I hope you remember your high school Spanish numbers because they will come in handy here. And if you don't, they have a number ticker so you can see what number they're on. You will not be disappointed by coming here, anytime I barbecue you know I get it from here.

Best place to get Carnitas ! Would rate a 5 but the last 4 times they have gotten the order wrong and I'm tired of having to drive back because the new ladies they have keep giving me what I didn't order. PLEASE check what they give u because most likely they have given u a meat you didn't ask for. Super frustrating.
