This is one of those restaurants that is sort of tucked away but when you go in it’s packed. And for good reason!! The food here is AMAZING. They even have a vegetarian / vegan menu. Everything is so thoughtfully made. Can’t wait to go back
Amazing interesting food
El Torero does not need my five star review because El Torero's food speaks for itself. Frankly, I could try to describe the food, ambience, the delicate arts of culinary fusion, the How Did They Do That innovation, and the paradises of flavors that will make you feel like you have rediscovered the Garden of Eden and it is here, perfection, in each bite. I could try to describe it in detail.... but really you have to eat here to truly understand how good it is. Get the veggie tamale pie, get some vegan tacos, or a meat dish, or get all of it. I have never ordered anything I didn't love. I suspect you too will find the food here can't go wrong. This is the best restaurant in Tucson and I would go to the mat over that.
OUTSTANDING!!! If there were a million stars, I would give them! I haven’t tasted that much flavor in a very very long time, if ever!!
This restaurant is genuinely authentic Mexican Food, delicious & healthy. The large portions make it possible to some home & enjoy again. The staff is pleasant & delivers great service, I’ll certainly frequent this restaurant.
Food was okay. Portion sizes were huge. I was disappointed in my tamale and wouldn't order it again. Too much masa..it was also white which was a bit odd since it's usually a bit reddish from the sauce. The taco was okay and the beans were excellent. Food was nice and hot
Like going back 40 yrs .this is Tucson gem of gems in Mexican food with a long history of families. Always welcoming and appreciative staff.. hands down the real Mexican food you been longing for ..
The food was bland or too salty with little room in between. Location is a bit seedy and the dining area was both small and very loud.
