Taqueria El Toro

Muy rico y rápido . ElMenú tiene mucha variedad las salsa están sabrosas . Vamos a regresar de nuevo .

I have been here so many times but never wrote a review! They have moved across the street to a larger building. They used to be right next to the market. I always come and get the same thing typically, 3 tacos de carne asada or a beef torta. They are both so good. You can add salsa and other things to your tacos to flavor but they already put on when you order, onion and cilantro with lime on the side. They have a salsa bar off to the side you will see it. When you are done you put your tray and plates in the window. I hope they open the bar soon! It's worth a try if you haven't been! Can't go wrong with carne asada.

Hidden authentic Mexican restaurant on the outskirts of Raleigh! We went looking for a Mexican place where the locals gather to eat and socialize. Taqueria el Toro is essentially a food court style restaurant -- order at the counter and pick it up your tray there and bring it back to your table. Also clean up by bringing your tray back to the window. Interior is super spacious and also has a big self serve salsa/toppings bar. It was bustling even at an off peak lunch hour on a weekday. The food was all served in gigantic portions but nothing was particularly flavorful. Vegetarian fajitas were bland only included a few vegetables. Chicken Quesadilla was also bland and lackluster. Guacamole needed lots more salt. Good value for the price, but otherwise wouldn't return.

What a great find! This no-frills, authentic taqueria is the real deal! I've been wanting to eat here for quite awhile. It did not disappoint!I was glad we had researched the menu before arriving. There were many things on the menu we had never heard of! We ordered Cabeza Tacos - our least favoriteAl Pastor Tacos - excellent! Carnitas Burrito - so good! Our favorite Al Pastor Burrito - very good!Flautas - 3 Flautas with rice & beans - delicious!Carne Asada Burrito - excellent!Guacamole & ChipsThe tacos can seem disappointing and look super plain upon arrival. Each one is just meat on tortillas, but after garnishing each taco at the help-yourself salsa bar, they become amazing, custom-made tacos! Each of the burritos were good, but the favorite at our table was the Carnitas Burrito! The flavor was amazing.The large guacamole was enough for our group of 5! It was a generous amount of guacamole! I didn't taste the Flautas, but my daughter-in-law loved them! We will definitely be back!

This place is freaking amazing! I randomly went here because it was close and I am so impressed. They had a fresh salsa bar where you can put as much of any salsa on your taco but be warned some of them are SPICY! Like I love hot stuff and they were so spicy but delicious. If you don't enjoy heat definitely get the salsas on the side. Also my three tacos were only like $9 which isn't to bad for a lunch. My boyfriend tried the cows tongue taco which i personally found a little chewy but was an interesting taste. I really enjoyed the chicken and carnitas taco but the steak was a little bland and chewy. If you're in the mood for street tacos definitely check this place out!

Ordered a chicken burrito to go and it was delicious! The menu had a wide variety of options and the prices seemed relatively cheap. The food came out super quick and the burrito had a lot of flavor. I would love to come back and try their other menu options!

The steak tortillas were plain just add lime but horchata was really tasty, and workers were fun to talk to.

This is one of the most authentic taquerias that I've found in the area. If you're looking for kitschy ambience or a taco salad, this isn't it. This is a classic hole-in-the-wall that serves amazingly authentic Mexican food...just like what I've had in Mexico. First good sign?? We were the only non-Hispanics in there. This means the food is good and authentic. There are tons of combos from the safe bets (carne asada, chicken, el pastor) to the more exotic offerings for the adventurous palate (tripa, lengua, menudo). They're all good! You dress your tacos yourself at the condiment bar with pico de gallo, salsas, onions, grilled jalapeños etc.... Wash your food down with a jarritos bottled soda or one of their aguas frescas (horchata, tamarindo or jamaica when I was there). You can't go wrong!

Best Mexican food in town (maybe even the triangle) hands down. Not much for frills, humble establishment, but the food is the main attraction- no bells & whistles here except for the strategically placed bull mounts on the wall. The service is good, self serve at your table, very efficient ordering process at the main counter... the ambience, once again, is clean, humble, no frills; little hole in the wall feel. My faves are the cabeza, lengua or al pastor tacos. The pozole there is second to none- usually with some Tecate beers!

This was my first time going to Taqueria El Toro, and maybe my last. I really enjoy Hispanic food, and the culture, even though my 7 year old half Puerto Rican daughter is fluent in Spanish, I don't speak Spanish. While at the restaurant in line I asked the cashier what was a Huaraches as I didn't know. a couple of cashiers tried to describe it to me, but they couldn't figure out the English words. So they started talking to the person behind me in Spanish. I replied with, "Lo siento, no hablo español, solo inglés," which means, "I am sorry, I do not speak Spanish, only English." I did learn that phrase, yet it didn't seem to matter. They continued to ignore me as if I wasn't there. While talking with the person behind me in Spanish, the cashier starting to make fun of me as if to humiliate me by saying, "Jaja, no español" while looking at me. Seriously, WTF. Is that how you treat your non-Hispanic customers by laughing at them saying, "Haha, no Spanish!"If you speak Spanish, go ahead, the food may be good, and you can order it.If you do not speak Spanish, avoid this place like the plague as they will treat you like crap, and laugh in your face making comments in front of other customers and staff. #507
