The best place to get tacos and burritos in all of California. No place is better. I have been going here for years and years and always the best.

This is no longer Tacos El Torro.... it's some new "noho cafe"... I don't understand why they had to close the best little Mexican restaurant in the area.... I am hoping that someone can find out if they found a new location... so sad.

Great food and reasonable pricing. I wish the took debit cards but the food is too good to pass up.

The owner of this restaurant hires people, and within a week he lays them off without even paying them what they worked for. Please some one make justice with this business. That's not fair for toes poor persons who worked their week and absolutely get no PAY‼‼

Best Nachos I have ever eaten. Order it as they come, with carne asada and everything that normally comes on them. Ask for extra red sauce if they have it in the fridge because it is great! Their chips are made in house. Second to those are the taquitos and any breakfast item on the menu. I've had the vegetarian breakfast and it is delicious. Love the potatoes/peppers on that dish.

I love this place! Definitely authentic Mexican food with the whole Jamaica and Horchata! I love ordering the nachos, fajitas or the veggie burrito(even though I'm not vegetarian)

I love this little place. Mexican novellas, great food at a great price, and Mexican coke! Tip: bring cash because it is cash only. There is an atm in the place if you forget.
Cash only first off, although they do have a ATM inside (which is nice). I've driven by this place hundreds of times and never got a chance to go in. So today after work I was looking for a inexpensive Mexican place that I can eat before I go on, and this place is not disappoint I ordered the 3 taco combo with rice and beans and it was displayed a very nice on the plate, the tacos were good I order the beef head, and the rice and beans were also very good. They sprinkled some Mexican dry cheese on the beans which I didn't mind although some people may find it a little bit too strong for their taste they have a nice little salsa bar very small but be your basics of green or red or pico de Gayo. But they also have sliced limes and radishes and shredded marinated onions. I also ordered a pineapple aqua or drink and it was pretty good they also had orchata and jamaica as well. not a bad spot if your in the area or happy your car washed or details that store, give it a try

Had I seen the review of Yelper "John B" before coming here I probably wouldn't have stopped in, but I'm glad I did now I can check this off my list of "Do Not Return" I'm sorry I just don't see how some of these reviews can give them 4 & 5 Stars? Tacos - Carne Asada - NO marinated meat here, needed more time on the grill and lacked in flavor. 2-Stars Al Pastor - Had a regular pork flavor OK, but it's supposed to be Pastor it should have a heavy adobo flavor #Fail - 1-Star Carnitas - Really the only thing worth eating, had pretty good flavor and was moist. 3.5-Stars Another one bites the dust!

Stopped by for a quick breakfast while waiting for my car to be smogged.ordered the chilaquiles with an "whore-chata".the chilaquiles come with egg,which is great,thats the way i grew up eating em.most taco joints charge extra for egg.the red sauce is tangy,similiar to an enchilada sauce,it has spice but isnt overwhelming spice(hot).along with rice and beans and a small side of guac and crema over lettuce.tasty......

UPDATE: Looks like people are now working on building, and there's a sign out front that says it's under new ownership. They are not back to serving food yet. 11/7/15 * * * * * * * There has been a "We're closed today" sign on the door for almost a month now. We are losing hope (and weight) that our beloved taco-hole is closed for the duration. If you know differently, please respond to this, otherwise I will make further edits when we know more about what's happening. 10/26/2015 ********************************* Be still my heart. This is our favorite taco place in all of LA. The cabeza is second-to-none (cheek meat, btw, not brain), the carnitas are always perfect. Great salsa (the ultra-mild green is my fav - but their spicy red and pico with fresh jalapeno bits are tops as well). Two male cooks make the best food. Sometimes it's not as good when one of the two lady cooks are on, but it's never poor, just "less awesome". Anyone who gives this place a low rating based on ambience and not taking debit cards is a fool. Yeah, it looks old and run down inside. Yeah, it's cash-only. But it's always super clean, and they have an ATM right next to cash register, so seriously, let them continue to concentrate on making damned good cheap food while you wait quietly and appreciate what you're shoving into your face. Happy, friendly cashier and cook. Our most favorite neighborhood place, and every other good taco we try is "Pretty good, but not as good as el toro." I wish I could give this place all the stars.
