El Toreo - Pasadena

Wow, It was a pleasure being able to enjoy fresh coffee and posole the night before the Rose Parade. The owner and staff were truly welcoming and communicative. May this place always be blessed with good business.

The food was so fantastic here! There was a goof with my order and the staff helped me and were awesome about it. I came back again the next day. It was so good!

Talk about real Mexican food!!! This is the place you want to eat. The food is made with fresh ingredients from their own local garden. The sauces are amazingly spiced that you will continue to ask for more. The staff’s hospitality is true to the Mexican culture: FRIENDLY with a family feel. Thank you Nicky for making us feel like a part of the El Toreo family .

Came here on a whim for some authentic Mexican food. Our waiter/server was so kind and gave us hibiscus tea on the house. Food here is great! Great portion size, amazing guacamole, and fresh tender carnitas.

This joint makes hard shell tacos just like my Grandmother made for me and I mean the exact same way. Now that I think about it did my my grannie steal their recipe? Hehe jk she'd never she was a real G... Carlos is a great dude and Nikki is beautiful in side and out... Come here and enjoy an hour or two and you'll see what I mean.
