So apparently they now go by the name El Orito Tacos, as you will see the T whited out from the menu. Asked the server what was up with that and he just said some legal BS. Not sure how 'Torito' can be trade marked, but oh well. He wasn't very willing to talk about it...Nonetheless, the food was very good and the service was prompt. Started with a pineapple marg that had a great presentation. Followed that with a Skinny marg that was delicious. Had the steak covered with cheese and a cheese enchilada. All was good. My only food disappointment was with the salsa. Though others at the table liked it a lot, as it was clearly made in house, I just thought it was a bit bland and could have been better. Chips were spot on.They TV that was in my line of site was not turned on, and the ones that were did not have the Indians game on, which I also found disappointing, but we were in and out pretty quick, so it really didn't matter.

Stopped in for dinner on a weekday for five adults. Place was starting to get busy but we had a great table and several baskets of chips and salsa to start. We watched a soccer match on a big 60 inch screen. Five entrees, two of which were daily specials. Shrimp and Avocado, had nice flavors and plenty of shrimp. 2nd special was bacon wrapped shrimp on skewers sitting on a bed of onions and peppers. Again, plenty of shrimp. Some were a bit overcooked in order to broil the bacon, but still good. I had a pork carnitas dish w veg and rice. Lots of pulled pork. Torito Fajita had chicken, steak, bacon, chorizo, pineapple and poblano peppers with cheese. Carnitas Dinner - which was slow cooked Mexican style pork with grilled onions, rice, beans, guacamole salad and flour tortillas. And I think the last entree was Enchiladas Verde - 3 chicken with green tomatillo sauce, rice, lettuce, guac, tomato & sour cream. All dishes were hot, tasty and filling. We had plenty of leftovers and everyone enjoyed. Will definitely go again.

Great experience at El OritoThe lighting here is a bit dim which I prefer. I don't want to feel like I'm trapped in the fluorescent hell of Walmart and Target. The waitress was goth which is also to my liking, please hire more goths they are a vital part of our community Modelo Especial 16oz were on sale for $1.99 I ordered the Chorry Pollo which came with queso drenched chorizo/chicken, flour tortillas, pico and guac along with rice and beans. Very reasonably priced! Right over on Pearl road near the 71 exit

I loves their chips and salsa. The sangria margarita was excellent and strong. I ordered the lunch fajitas and it was delicious, except for the mushrooms but my mom liked those. My mom got the lunch Chimichanga. We both really loved that but it wasn't crispy like other places.The place is very narrow with booths along the wall then four tops and then a bar. It's not super wheelchair friendly but in off times manageable.

Absolutely fantastic! I flipped out for the barbacoa and al pastor tacos. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Great service and great food at a good price point. Definitely recommend, would come back any time.

I used to frequent this location when it was Three Brothers (Italian and Greek cuisine). I was disappointed to see them go.....but not so much anymore. The wife and I have been fans and regular visitors of the same couple of Mexican places for many years. More often than not if we venture away from those places we're either disappointed, or just okay with the new place, and not compelled to return. I'll admit I've driven by several times and was turned off by "Tacos" in the name. I don't eat Taco Bell, don't really care for tacos (unless the wife is making hers), and was convinced this was some sort of gimmicky taco bar, being familiar with the layout of the restaurant. I was wrong. Way, way wrong. The menu is expansive by any Mexican restaurant's standards. I'm not even sure I saw a taco on the menu, now that I think about it! Food was excellent, drinks were great and comparably priced to other places in the area. Food may have been even a little less expensive than our regular place. Very cozy (okay, a bit tight), and they've done a nice job with the decor. The Latino musica playing from the speakers under the overhang as you approach from the parking lot was a nice touch. We will be back!

Very spacious place with a large full bar. Friendly staff and I had good service my two visits. Food has been very good w large portions. The salsa is especially great, and comes before every meal(along w chips). I would like to see this place succeed as it's a great stop for a post workout lunch and beer, plus the area lacks variety. Only minor issue is the music is a little too loud, but I'm old and have to complain about something

Excellent food, great service. I recommend this restaurant gem. My recent visitor from Texas claimed it was the best Mexican food he has had.I live in Berea so I go to El Orito Tacos. They had to adjust their name for legal reasons. Food is really great - and I have tried a number of Mexican restaurants in Arizona and Texas. This place is just great.
