“Great food and service. Walked right in and was seated. My son ordered a burrito and I ordered the steak fajitas. The burrito was ginormous, he couldn't finish it. The fajitas were delicious. The steak was perfection! Definitely will stop by again! Hidden gem for sure!“

“Excellent service, great food. They have the best chile verde I've ever had. Corn burritos are bomb, too. You can't go wrong here.“

“Mejor comida de santa paula .rico molcajetes....lo recomiendo al 100...chulada“

“A transcendental experience... I should explain.
Started the morning by hiking up to the punch bowls beginning @ 6am. About half way up I ingested 1gm of mushrooms. As I arrived to my destination about an hour later, things were feeling great. I hung out about half an hour and then began to make my way back, rolling along happily. I arrived back @ my vehicle @ 10:45am and then made my way to Cocina 1912. As I pulled up and then stepped out of my vehicle, I noticed my flask was in the door pocket. Knowing I was about to order a piping hot bowl of menudo, I took a good swing before I made my way in. I ordered my meal and when it arrived at the table, i added lots of pepper flakes, some lemon and oregano, and onion and cilantro as well. By god, by the time I was 1/4 of the into it, I was in a trance. Just sweatin' and feeling the meal wash over me like a wave. A wave of calm and nourishment. All the way through I was buzzing. I finished up and it took me about another 10 min to feel like I could stand and not get woozy.

10 outta 10, would eat here again.“

“Fast ordering over the phone. Didn't have to repeat anything. When we picked up the food, everything was EXACTLY like we asked, with all the additions and deductions to the order. Inside the bag was a variety of salsas and a handful of chips. Everything taste amazing. Highly recommend“

“Review: Very simple and refreshing. All dishes were prepared with no more than 4-5 ingredients. Perfect combination of flavors.- Octopus stew lived to the hype, very tender and the sauce was ridddicilously good.- Calamari - Mediterranean style with fresh herbs dressing. Tender and light.- Lamb was perfectly cooked, the condiments were good.“

“the best in SP! 🌮🌮🌮🌮 🥑🍹🌮“

“The tastiest tacos in the 805 area ‼️ I ordered 5 pastor tacos & 1 quesadilla with carne asada and the meat had amazing flavors! The service was fast & easy and the people inside were very friendly. The food just hits the spot everytime & I recommend this place 10/10 ?“

“Legit street tacos. Authentic flavor for barbacoa, cabeza, and lengua tacos. I ordered the babacoa plate to go and the rice and beans tasted just like my mom makes. The barbacoa was savory, herb-y, and tender. They were selling these big avocados at the counter for only a dollar, I bought one and they offered to slice it up to add to the tacos I ordered to eat in. Warm and welcoming owners. Great food.

Parking: Small parking lot next to the restaurant, plenty of street parking.“

“I am the only Real Juan to review on this food ( The rest of the people who did a bad review js doesn’t have good taste buds and prefer McDonalds) I have tried a lot of tortas from LA from food trucks in Oxnard and Ventura and this torta from this specific food truck in Santa Paula is delicious (asada,x2avocado,cheese and lettuce ) u can taste all the tiny details inside the torta even their green sauce/salsa verde is amazing, This food truck has potential and with my big back (🍽️🫃)I will make this food truck a Restaurant
(Por los Mexicanos que no entienden esto ,lo que dijo es que la comida está bien buenísima👌)😮‍💨🤤“

“Great fresh Mexican food. I highly recommend this restaurant. One of my favorite spots to go for some authentic food.“

“Reviews looked good and was not disappointed. I had the Carnitas, which were tasty, and my son had enchiladas, he claimed were very good. The House Margarita was a pleaser, served in a bowl shaped glass. The service was excellent. We were slow to order but our waitress was patient. She didn’t “disappear” when we “needed another minute.” She continued to check on us after to see how we were doing. We were just visiting but I look forward to coming back here again when I’m in the area.“

“First time there and ordered a dozen pork tamales along with various panduce. The tamales are all filled with generous portions of meet and fresh. Highly recommend❤️“

“Food was good I love their salsa We had a very sweet waiter It was a nice evening celebrating my daughter’s birthday 🎂🍀⭐️💕“

“I agree..this place is a hidden gem in Santa Paula : ))) My partner kindly planned a weekend trip to Santa Paula to celebrate my birthday and said I could pick a place for a meal. I felt drawn to all the reviews people wrote about Tacos El Torazo, and we decided to have an early evening pre-birthday dinner. I am so, so happy we got to go there while we were in Santa Paula. We now know where to go for a wonderful Mexican food when we are in town! Everything we ate was exquisite, and we felt so at home thanks to the friendly and heartfelt service. The food was so good that it was all gone before I remembered to take some pictures of the food..gives us a good excuse to go back there!“

“la comida deliciosa mi burrito de pollo con chipotle muy rico😋“

“10/08/2023... worst experience for breakfast. Food was bad, customer service was worse but even more terrible was the attitude given by the manager and waitress. Absolutely no F's were given. Waited over 30 minutes only to be told they were out of the menudo... on a Sunday at noon.“

“Best pan Dulce in Santa Barbara customer service Very Friendly 😀 Visiting from LA“

“The food is alway good and very filling..“

“Quick service Order was perfect!!!“

“Not having the option to order from a human was awkward, especially because the human told us we don't take orders anymore use the machine. Of course, it was easy to figure out, but I guess friendliness and humanity have been drained out of the humans, which I guess humans here have become the robots. The atmosphere and energy make a school cafeteria feel exciting. The food was very good. Won't be back, though.“
