Hopefully, the cows on the next door, empty lot property are now well taken care of, with shade and fed with enough hay. It is great they can freely move around the empty lot, just hope theyre now well taken care of, at the same time.
Wonderful people! Also Fantastic tasting Food. Highly recommend eating there
Best shrimp burrito I’ve ever had. Hard to find parking and usually very crowded inside, but that’s because the food is so good. English is not so good, but you are walking into a Mexican market so i kinda expect that. Staff isn’t rude, but I wouldn’t say they are present either. Overall, the food is excellent and I highly recommend you try it.
You want that flavor that can only be found in a hole in a wall spot. Then you are in luck. Nothing but good food here . Them they give you these little fried onions with your order. The best in town
Best food and best taste of real Mexican home made food every weekend its a for sure most go to make sure you order on the phone if you dont like waiting in line for some of the best Mexican food there is out here in the IE
Extremely bad service! I never write any reviews for any restaurant but for this I had to..careful going here..yes the food is good here I bought 4 tacos here and they charged me 60 dollars I tried showing them my bank statements and they told me if their register doesnt show it they cant do nothing about it..instead of being understanding and helping solve the situation they had a attitude about it..they will scam you..
Torito Meat Market Sucks now ask for menudo with pata only not serving pata only no more never going back their policy now.
Best Carne Asada Ive ever bought! Their meat is definitely fresh and the price is right. And oh, the Ribeyes and the Tomahawk Streaks! Highly recommended!!
Good food, tacos mmmm really tasty I love the fish tacos
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I have been coming here for burritos de camaron since 2009! i loved it as a teen and I love it as an adult. I take my family and friends. Its much too good not to share the location!!
Best Shrimp burritos ever!!!!Service is great, fast and friendly... The staff is a pleasure to deal with...I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone that I know.
When you pull in to the busy parking lot at El Torito Meat Market y Taqueria on a Sunday afternoon, the first thing youll notice is the line beginning to spill out the front door. This sight of a chaotic scrum, with family members moving in and out of it, may compel you to determine that its not worth it to wait behind so many people for tacos and to leave. I advise you to stay the course. You came here for a reason, and the line moves surprisingly quickly. Youll observe that the volume of humanity and number of orders that this place briskly handles is impressive, with most people leaving with large bags filled with take-out boxes of tacos, menudo, and prepared meats. Also, notice that every customer here is of Latino descent, which means youve stumbled upon something legitimately special tucked into this market in Mira Loma.Order the Taco de Camarón (Shrimp Taco) when you get to the front of the line. In fact, order 2 or 3 if youre looking for a meal. On a single white corn tortilla will rest a large handful of fat shrimp, all lightly dredged with flour before theyre cooked, resulting in a light oily crust that clings to parts of their taut bodies. These arent battered shrimp, more par-battered. I dont believe there is a precise culinary term that describes this preparation, but I like it. Youll have chopped raw onions and cilantro on the taco, and then a topping of a zesty salsa verde made of cilantro, chilies, and puréed nuts of some kind (pepitas, Im guessing). The entire thing is a hit, in my not-so-humble opinion. Ive had lots of excellent shrimp tacos in southern California, but this one was a completely new but wonderful riff on it to me.I wish the Taco de Chicharrón (Pork Rind Taco) was as well-executed. The somewhat crispy, somewhat chewy bits of chicharrón inside will remind someone who does not often eat chicharrón tacos of bacon bits, except these are absolute hell on your molars, or whichever teeth you use to try to grind them away. You can feel your teeth shifting in their sockets as you try to chew this stuff, and that cant be a good thing. El Torito Meat Market y Taqueria provides a different salsa verde on this taco: more tangy, more fruity, with a nice bright, raw heat. The taco has a good enough flavor overall, but the saltiness and stout texture keeps this several large notches below the superior Shrimp Taco served here.Fried cebollitas and chile toreados are given away on the side with the tacos at El Torito Meat Market y Taqueria. Use these on the tacos, or do like me and pop them straight into your mouth. As with the prodigious tacos they accompany, they are representative of the generous portions and magnificent value that can be obtained from this operation.
Been eating here for 18 years great Mexican food. Recommend!!!!
This market that does the food they sell NEVER use gloves. They all touch the food with bare hands. Disgusting.
The best food around!!We drive 8 miles for their food!
Love this place! The food is delicious, Ive been eating here for many years and they never disappoint. Definitely recommend everything, the tortas, tacos and burritos are the best!
Friendly and polite staff, shrimp tacos and burritos the best... I do recommend it.
Best tacos and burritos in town. Ive been eating here since 2005 and will continue to until I can. If youre a taco fan and burritos lover, this is the perfect place to eat. Definitely recommend. Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent food. Big portions of everything. Everything is fresh. I cant even tell which meat is the best because they all taste good. Their carnitas are tender, their Al pastor is delicious, shrimp has a very good taste. Must try.
Ive been going here for years for the shrimp burritos! I recommend this place to everyone🥰
Get the shrimp burrito. The best.
Best ranchera and best chicken for grilling. I think the best o all IE
If you are from the IE, you should know about this place. One of the best burritos Ive had. This place never disappoints.
Always great food real burrito not a rice and beans burrito with a little bit of carne full of carna the shrimp burritos always amazing
Everything tastes like Home made. Delicious food 👌
Super good food I had their shrimp burrito and tacos employees are super friendly and helpful
Best shrimp tacos & shrimp burritos Ive have had check them out 👍👍👍
These tacos used to be very very good, now they are whatever, nothing special or to encourage people to go.
This place is consistent with being amazing! I absolutely love the price, portions, and quality of the food. Outstanding place to grab some tacos.
Have to say, the carne asada tacos were good, 3 should be enough since they are not small and with lots of meat, I recommend this place to any taco lover.
Food was really good has good service
Good food but absolutely horrible customer service. Cant get a order correct and majority of the staff doesnt even speak English.
Super Mexican mini store with a delicious restaurant inside. Tiny little treasure for your Mexican and Hispanic groceries. I love cheese and they have this one like cacique brands except its not and its super super delicious. I have tried almost everything on the restaurants menu and I suggest you do the same, of course not in one sitting.
Excellent food! Questionable parking but people are quickly in and out.
Excellent food! Everything is delicious. Love the shrimp burrito.
Awesome and marvelous food you can eat.
We love coming here on Sundays with the family
Best meet amazing food and the people are like family
Had the Shrimp Burrito,its a must try,very delicious
Never disappointed when I come here for lunch. The food is made to order and shrimp tacos are my favorite!
I buy all my meats here and they also have a restaurant. food is pretty good. Only thing is they need to expand gets really crowded inside.
Best shrimp burrito ever!
Greate Tasting Food And You Get Your $ Worth. Greate Service I Recommend Phone Order Ahead...
100% authentic mexican food
I had heard great positive reviews about this place. Honestly it wasnt all that. The food lacked flavor. I ordered the shrimp burrito which I was swore it was OMG. The shrimp had no seasoning and the salsa verde avocado also lacked flavor and heat. I also got the carnitas tacos and again the meat wasnt well seasoned. The chorizo tacos were actually decent but Ive had better. The salsa roja tasted just ok again no salt/seasoning. I do give them credit for fast service. My large order was ready in 10minutes. The ladies were very polite and attentive! Would I come back? No, I wouldnt!
It can get busy, but there is a reason for that. This place has some of the best burritos. I suggest calling in ahead if you are going sitting peek times. Also, the dining area is very small, so you are best to take it home. Still totally worth it though.Its also a small market as the name suggests, but I often go just for the take-out.
I came all The way from long Beach because I hear the food was good. But I have to say the carnitas n buche was really salty n the chicharones super hard I wont buy that anymore. But might go back to try the menudo.
Best food in town.... shrimp burrito and tacos are my favorite
Best loaded shrimp tacos
The tacos are the best in the area
This Place is good, you know this because there is always line to eat. You get your moneys worth. Food is Authentic and good. Worth the wait.
The Ranchera caene asada is delicious. Expensive but worth it! Its full of flavor
Best in town 😁
Good food
The Best Breakfast Burritos Ever, service is the best and prices are great!
Outstanding food!
This used to be my go to place for shrimp tacos but something happened as they are not good at all anymore. Shrimp they are now small, hard and have absolutely no taste. Spent a lot on 8 tacos and couldnt get through eating two since it tasted like cardboard. Deep fried onions and green sauce are still good but not enough to go spend hard earned money. It hurts me to put such a negative review but I wouldnt want anyone else to have the same disappointing experience as I did.
Lazy afternoon with tacos n beer, who could ask for more. I’ve lived in the area for over 10 years and never noticed this place. Picked up some carne asada yesterday for grilling (excellent btw) and saw they had tacos, burritos, and soups.So here I am today. The shrimp taco is fabulous, the pastor taco was pretty good.Def coming back for burritos, menudo, and birria.
All I gotta say is order the shrimp burrito!!! This pace is great!
Great food! Great people !
Great food . Good carneseria.
Had the best Shrimp burrito of my entire life. End of story.
They stuff their burritos and tacos with shrimp. Love them. Be prepared to wait in line though. Longest wait was about 30 mins and shortest was 10. They go as quickly as possible.
Best meat in town.
This review is just for the restaurant portion only. The little place was packed when I got there. The service was great! The young girl behind the counter was very pleasant and the food came out fast. The cooks were super busy trying to keep up with the orders. There were people walking out with orders of 5-10 burritos and that is no exaggeration. Our food was delicious. We took carnitas and chicharrónes to go. If you can give it a try.
Very good food
They have THE BEST AND CLEAN MEAT!! Great Service from everyone that works there. Love the freshness of the meat!
Small place, Excellent and Great food . Great service.there is no place like this no where
We go here all the time for delicious burritos, tacos, and other good Mexican food. Highly recommend!
The tacos are bomb
Best shrimp tacos!!🌮
Recommended to this market/restaurant from a friend, and I couldnt be happier. This is your stereotypical hidden gem or hole in the wall establishment, that I would have otherwise never even knew existed, but from that friendly recommendation!I came here and got the fish tacos, and it was absolutely delicious... Perfectly cooked and seasoned fish makes me want to keep coming back for more.This establishment is completely family run and operated, and although I didnt come here for the market options, I was told their carne asada was some of the best to take home and grill.
Get the shrimp burrito!😉
Really good portion size dishes, their camaron burrito is very good, I ordered it with the jalapeno sauce in it, also their chicharon con carne is extremely good, but only in the early morning when its freshly made. Awesome Mexican restaurant
Real Mexican foodAffordableBilingualTight parking lotShrimp tacos are amazingPopular local spot
Best tacos I had in my whole life I swear...
XXXXXELENTE!!!! Had 3 Shrimp Tacos with their specialty green salsa on the side.. Love that specialty salsa..Chomped on a couple Jalapenos with.. it was busy there today.
The food is good but the workers have bad attitude and are rude to the costumers I went in there and ordered a plate of carnitas and a dozen of tortillas and after the long wait recieved only my carnitas and no tortillas and I asked one of the lady servers that i didnt receive my tortillas and she replied if you ordered some you should get them after if you didnt your not getting anything but didnt bother to look at my receipt that I held in front of her and walked away ..
A little cramped but has some of the best shrimp tacos out there.
The food is great and prices are very good, just know that its always busy .but worth the wait
Great food service at a reasonable priceBetter to order by phone it gets very busy specially on weekends
My husband introduced me to this place and I must say this place is the BOMB!! Best authentic Mexican food ever
If youre ever in the Mira loma area and you are hungry stop by El torito.
This is a one stop store from check cashing to fast food.
My family and I have been coming to this place for years and the food has never been mediocre. It is a small hole in the wall place but the food always has you coming back for more.
Some damn good tacos, tortas and burritos here. I had shrimp, asada and carnitas. The shrimp taco was amazing good. Cant wait to go back and try a shrimp burrito. The actual meat market/store part has all kinds of meats to choose from. Marinated not marinated. They have what ever you need for bbqing pleasure.
