Amazing Tacos and Gorditas, 100% recommended. It's very good

Fantastic food and service. Family owned and operated. Everything made in-house. Don't go spend the same money at a chain "Mexican" restaurant that serves low-quality, americanized food. This local business needs support more than a Peppers or Pedro'

Finally tried El Torreonense for the first time. Service was very friendly and the server, who is something of a local celebrity, talked with me about the menu and gave me recommendations. I took her advice and got three gorditas with three different fillings to try a range of flavors. They were all good but the one that stood out most was the gorditas filled with cooked cactus. Turns out cactus is pretty good. If you are worried about it being spicy, never fear because I detected no heat. The sauces that came on the side were tasty. Drinks were a selection of bottled or canned beverages you can pick out of the cooler yourself. Apple soda is the best if you ask me. As for the attached photo, I forgot to take a picture until I had chowed down on the first gorditas.

I want to love this place because the young lady that greets you at the door is SO sweet. However, we tried this place a few days ago and it was by far one of the worst foods I've had in FWB. It seemed like it was sitting a long time or something. We ordered the gordita with potatoes and the picadillo. Perhaps I have just not had this type of meat before but it looked really bad upon opening. The taste was okay but seemed like it was old. They did not serve chicken or didnt have it when we were there. Again, I want to like this place bc it is a little family business but I will not be returning unfortunately.
These Ladies Are So Nice and Explained the Menu to me . This was better than all of the other Mexican Food that we eat Regularly . I cant wait to try the Gorditas because the Tacos were Soooo Delicious !! Sweetest Family Owned Business Around Will be Returning Regularly as this was my first visit.

The food is soooo amazing and yummy ! We all left very full and with leftovers ? for our family of 5 it was around 60 dollars . The prices are very fair ! This is going to be my regular spot for Mexican cuisine . 10/ 10 !!!
