What happened to this place!! Some months ago, my husband and I stopped by for the first time for some lunch and it was absolutely delicious. He had a burrito dinner and I had the enchilada. The chicken was shredded and well seasoned and there was delicious rice and refried beans crispy, lettuce, and all the good stuff! But, this time it was the most disgusting food I think I’ve ever eaten. The chips tasted stale and like they were out of a store bought bag that was left open. The salsa was just spicy with none of that rich tomato flavor. Sooo disappointed!! The chicken was dark meat chunks that were apparently cooked on the grill … it wasn’t shredded or marinated as it used to be, instead it was tasteless and fatty. The chunks were stuffed into the burrito with hardly any tomatoes, lettuce or rice!! Forget about any cheese or sauce on top the burrito! Waitress was able to cancel my to go order, but I paid for the other food (and I’m using that term “food” lightly)! I picked out what little lettuce and tomato I could find cause I was hungry but I really could not swallow that mystery meat!!!
This is by far the WORSE place I have ever ate it . First the chips were DISGUSTING the salsa was water with tomato sauce in it and maybe a piece of cilantro then main course came I literally took a Bite of the chicken that was in my burrito and Immediately spit it in my napkin. I could not even swallow it. I am not sure what or even if it was chicken. I almost feel as though it may have been the foot of the chicken in my burrito. The suppose to be chicken was dark chunks that had stringy fat when I ripped it apart and the small piece in my mouth that was not swallowed! I was hungry so tried really however I couldn’t. I ate a few bites of the flour tortilla shell from 1/2 but my plate looked like a pile of puke. Wish I had a picture ! Anyways told the waitress she said oh well I like them I said ok that’s good but
Literally I can’t eat this . Refused to take off the order was beyond rude and the lack of professionalism and ultra sensitive attitude spoke volume . So not only was the food the grossest I ever seen or tasted without swallowing has the most unprofessional staff representing their business. Then the she writes a review about how the place is a 10/10 great food and service. I believe google reviews have a conflict of interest guideline …LOL! I strongly suggest do not waste your money Casey’s gas station across the street heat lamp food is a 5 star compared to here !
From out of town and was looking for local taco place and found this place. We loved it. Great food!! Awesome service!! Very friendly staff. We will be back in this area in two weeks and already plan on coming back!!
I ordered the Chicken chimichanga dinner . Honestly the worst I’ve ever had . Go anywhere else you can .
Growing up with a Rockstar Mexican Grandmother cooking like no other. It's hard to impress me, but the food was very good. The rice could use additional tomatoe, onion and garlic. Then again I was spoiled with Grandmother's cooking. Best Mexican food I've had since moving back from California 2 years ago. My wife was very disappointed in every other place we've been to in Rockford, Roscoe, Beloit and Janesville. Very happy with her Chile Relleno and to satisfy her is a huge task. Not as my rice. LoL. Try this place and you won't regret it. I had Asada, El Pastro and Pollo tacos. By the was the Guacamole was the bomb. Wife didn't need to add salt or lime to it. Just like our favorite spot in Ontario, California Mexico Lindo Restaurant. Shout to them.
Awesomely Authentic Mexican food.
Crazy good prices!
Deliciously tender Asada Burrito
Smooth slicing steak
Great great food.
Will be back for your Taco Tuesdays for sure!!!
We found this place it is well underrated. My daughter has food allergies so what she is able to eat is not on a menu. They accommodated her so well it was a breath of fresh air. All of our food came out hot and yummy. The service was super attentive but not overbearing. The atmosphere felt cozy and like we were eating a friends house. This single momma is thankful my kids were fed and I didn't have to cook we will be back
What a wonderful find! My daughter and I were out and about enjoying ourselves and got a sudden craving for Mexican. We stumbled upon Taqueria El Torito and I'm so glad we did! (Must note, when we arrived there were only 2 other tables occupied, but by the time we left, 40 minutes later, the place was hopping! And at an odd eating time, 2:30ish, and I was so glad, because I want them to get ALL the business). Our waitress was so very nice. Chips and salsa came to the table when she greeted us. They were very yummy. I even ordered guacamole, which was ridiculously tasty, and queso for extra dipping. I had enchiladas and my daughter had a quesadilla the size of her plate! Both were fantastic!! The cost was extremely reasonable. The chef called to us, as we were paying at the counter, thanking us, and I couldn't help myself from gushing to him about how wonderful the meal was. He adorably responded, "Good, then we'll see you tomorrow." I love a chef with quick wit. We will without a doubt make this our go-to in Belvidere when we want to fill our Mexican cravings. They even have Mexican gum packs at the counter, as a courtesy, which my daughter happily grabbed one to take home to daddy. And we were so elated with our experience, we bought a few World's Finest Chocolate bars before we departed. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!
