I love El Toro Carnicería. Used to come often as a child when I would come to visit family in Santa Ana. I stopped by when I was in the area a couple weeks ago and I love all the authentic Mexican food products they have. They also have a great variety of meat and seafood to choose from the meat counter. Also love that they still sell their freshly made tortillas from their taqueria next door. They also have a liquor store on the other side and they'll bag your drinks with ice if you like. I was hungry and decided on some tacos. They tasted amazing with their freshly made tortillas. I had a carnitas, carne asada, and cabeza (beef cheek) taco and they were all very flavorful and they pack their tacos with meat. They also sell burritos, tamales, and meat by the pound. This is definitely the spot for all your authentic Mexican food dishes or if you're just hungry for some tacos!

Frequent here often. I love the poor boy sandwich! Staff is super cool and friendly. All around just a historic business (think they have been around for nearly 40 years). Sad how many historic businesses have sold or gone under. So it is impressive and awesome to have a place like this that represents how San Clemente use to be, while embracing what San Clemente is becoming.

FIRST TIME VISIT ! My wife has been wanting to check out this supermarket for a while now. On Sunday after enjoying a fabulous early morning breakfast at a fav spot in Newport Beach we popped in here on the way home. We parked our wheels out front around 9.15am. It's certainly much bigger on the inside than it looks from the parking lot. I guess you could say it's an old school style supermarket......huge range of name brands and many things we don't see at chain supermarkets. Prices in some categories were a little on the high side...more than Whole Foods Market. The beer section was a big disappointment....small range of everyday beers and no marked prices. They featured a huge wine section near the front entrance if that is your thing. My wife on the other hand loved some of the stuff on the shelves.....old school sweets she remembered from her childhood. THE DENTAL BILLS SAY NO ! I saw large Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice at a very competitive price. We ambled around the whole store for a few minutes. THEY HAVE A LOT OF STUFF ! My wife thought the cake section looked good...loves cake ! In the end they stocked enough of the things on our list that we decided to buy it all here instead of making another stop near home. We bought 1 x large Lactaid 2% reduced fat milk, Blue Lake green beans, Organic Mango, Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars, Crab Cakes, Brussels Sprouts and a slice of Chocolate Raspberry Cake. Friendly service at the checkout !NOTE - Of course with over 22 million views of my Yelp reviews and pics in 2022 I can tell you what is great !

The staff is great and the restaurant is extremely well thought out.The food is delightful COME for their $10 burger special!

Hands down BEST marinated carne asada in all of north OC. You can pickup everything you need for a tasty bbq. The bakery is good too.

I was planning a nice dinner for my boyfriend and my good friend highly recommended Kai wagyu. The store is conveniently located near south coast plaza, so I stopped by after running some errands. The store itself is small, but very nicely setup. The girl who helped me was very knowledgeable and helped me make the best choice for my meal. I went with the A5 Japanese wagyu. She told me how to cook it and even gave me an instruction card so I wouldn't forget later. It turned out perfect. I would definitely recommend

This is the first time I came to Honey Baked Ham to get a Ham for my Christmas Dinner . One of my friends suggested , I was surprised it's so busy here . There was a line around the building with people waiting to get their Honey Baked Ham and other items the day before Christmas. I almost turned around but I decided to wait. I was in and out in 20 minutes. The line moved quick as they have plenty of cashiers to handle everyone.The Small Ham around 7-9 lbs gone fast. To my turn only smallest I got is over 11lbs is $126.43 . I also bought a box potato salad . The Ham and Salad was delicious everyone like it . I'm definitely come back . I think next year at the beginning of December place my order for pickup before Christmas a 1or 2 days it's better . Parking is limited!
