Had to get some Masa to make tamales. I got to hand it to this place. They have everything you need to throw a party. Mexican food galore with a market and drinks.Great place to get Mexican necessities. Feels like I was in Mexico. Lol. Very nice and professional people that can assist you with your needs. Not to mention, I don't speak a word of Spanish lol.

Been buying here for years, food is definitely tasty and fresh, every time we want costillas we have to drive about one hour and I would say has been worth it but lately the customer service is discouraging people to go, I ordered some costillas and buche to go, the person who helped me said he was new so I told him to take his time, when it was my turn to pay the cashier was chatting with other two girls there and I had to tell her my order was ready, I paid and once I arrived home I found out that instead of costillas he gave me only buche, I called and the same cashier Ruby answered me, I explained that I had to drive about an hour back and forth and that my order was wrong, she was quick to say it was MY fault for not looking inside and that if I wanted them to change the meat they would have check the cameras and see if that was true, she made it look like I was lying and that all was on camera (WTH?)After explaining that I could not go on the same day and bring the meat back so I could wait for them to figure out if this was my fault Ruby said that I could either bring it back or learn for the next time and double check, she also said that she double checked and asked me about my order which was not true. I am so upset! Why blaming the customers instead of accepting that there was a mistake? I hope someone in management sees this review and makes sure there is a bit more education on how to treat customers in situations like this

This place has been around forever, they have the best carnitas you can get anywhere, they have a lot of variety, their meat shop is awesome with top quality meats . The service is hectic but fast and friendly, they do a good job in spite of it being so busy in here pretty much day and night. The ambiance is that of a busy carniceria . I love this place and have been coming here for well over 35 plus years .

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!

Came here for tacos for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and this place was busy! You can buy meat by the pound or in individual dishes like tacos/burritos/quesadillas. The menu and ordering system was a little chaotic/unclear at first hence why it's not 5 stars for me; you let an employee know what you'd like to order, they'll prepare it for you and give you a number, and you pay and receive your order once your number is called at the register. Sounds simple enough but I was a little confused at first. Aside from that, the line moves quickly and everyone was pretty nice. The person who took my order spoke English but the cashier spoke Spanish, but either way I think if you don't know Spanish you'll be ok. Cash and card accepted.I got 3 chicken tacos and was initially surprised that it came out to about $5 per taco, but once I got home and sat down to eat them I realized why. The tacos are huge and packed with tons of meat. 2 is plenty filling, which is better than most other places. The tortillas tasted fresh and the meat was perfectly flavorful and juicy. The cashier gave me plenty of salsa verde to go with it too.

El Toro is a national landmark for Santa Ana they have great carnitas and quick service, don't be scared by the long lines they go quicker than you can blink when you least expect it you'll have the best tacos in town with the best meats and the best service, it might be small and crowded but you won't be there to long quick order takers.

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.
