Really delicious and tasty food! GUARANTEED!!! If you eat spicy, you will definitely like the spicy salsa! Amazing I love the Al pastor and tripa tacos The service was excellent! They welcome us in and said we could seat anywhere! We were there around 1pm and it wasn't crowded! I notice people were ordering to go! Overall, if you happen to be around Taqueria El Torito, please try it! Delicious, tasty and good family ambience!

This is by far the WORSE place I have ever ate it . First the chips were DISGUSTING the salsa was water with tomato sauce in it and maybe a piece of cilantro then main course came I literally took a Bite of the chicken that was in my burrito and Immediately spit it in my napkin. I could not even swallow it. I am not sure what or even if it was chicken. I almost feel as though it may have been the foot of the chicken in my burrito. The suppose to be chicken was dark chunks that had stringy fat when I ripped it apart and the small piece in my mouth that was not swallowed! I was hungry so tried really however I couldn't. I ate a few bites of the flour tortilla shell from 1/2 but my plate looked like a pile of puke. Wish I had a picture ! Anyways told the waitress she said oh well I like them I said ok that's good butLiterally I can't eat this . Refused to take off the order was beyond rude and the lack of professionalism and ultra sensitive attitude spoke volume . So not only was the food the grossest I ever seen or tasted without swallowing has the most unprofessional staff representing their business. Then the she writes a google review about how the place is a 10/10 great food and service. I believe google reviews have a conflict of interest guideline ...LOL! I strongly suggest do not waste your money Casey's gas station across the street heat lamp food is a 5 star compared to here !

We love the tortas sold here. In my, and family's opinion, they are made just right. We order the skirt steak torta and ask for "chiles toreados" ( somewhat fried green jalapeños) on the side. Each one of us have a different way of having our torta, and the owner makes them how we want them. The owner is really nice and humble. The tacos are ok, we will still eat them, but we prefer the tortas!

Got food to go for the first time today only because I accidentally ordered here instead of one of the other Mexican in Belvidere. They overcharged us on everything. When my husband asked for a receipt the lady at the counter said they didn't have one. I called when he got home to inquire about extra charges and she said it was 12.99 for chicken fajitas & 1.95 for each taco (we got 5). I asked for extra salsa which I always do at the other location (they never ever charge) & she said she charged .25 extra for each of those. So $5 for those even though that's a complete rip off! It's still doesn't add up to $48.00. Entire experience was shady. Food was meh. I do not recommend especially since there are several other Mexican restaurants in Belvidere to choose from.

What happened to this place!! Some months ago, my husband and I stopped by for the first time for some lunch and it was absolutely delicious. He had a burrito dinner and I had the enchilada. The chicken was shredded and well seasoned and there was delicious rice and refried beans crispy, lettuce, and all the good stuff! But, this time it was the most disgusting food I think I've ever eaten. The chips tasted stale and like they were out of a store bought bag that was left open. The salsa was just spicy with none of that rich tomato flavor. Sooo disappointed!! The chicken was dark meat chunks that were apparently cooked on the grill ... it wasn't shredded or marinated as it used to be, instead it was tasteless and fatty. The chunks were stuffed into the burrito with hardly any tomatoes, lettuce or rice!! Forget about any cheese or sauce on top the burrito! Waitress was able to cancel my to go order, but I paid for the other food (and I'm using that term "food" lightly)! I picked out what little lettuce and tomato I could find cause I was hungry but I really could not swallow that mystery meat!!!

Best steak burrito in town! The red hit sauce is super yummy, hot enough to linger but doesn't blow your pallet. Idk about that other review, but I have always received great customer service.

I was surprised how good the burrito was especially with the rude waitress that took my order as well as how I was the only one in that place. The place is a little hidden gem with crappy customer service and good food
