El Torito Taqueria y Mas - Mexican restaurant in Lakewood - 180 S Union Blvd, USA

This place was pretty good. There was only one person working all the tables, the bar, and being the host, and she was so good! The food was good, and it was reasonably priced. I'm glad we tried this new-to-us place.

I just got takeout enchiladas and churros for lunch. The chicken in the enchiladas was super dry and tortillas seemed a little old, but otherwise the flavor was pretty good, albeit with zero heat. The churros were good and they came with a scoop of ice cream. Service was super quick and the staff was friendly. Good option for a casual lunch or dinner, but not somewhere that will really impress.

I was highly disappointed with my order of huevos rancheros; it was a complete letdown. Instead of the expected dish with eggs, potatoes, and flavorful ingredients, I received a mess of cold rice, beans, and a pile of unappetizing chorizo. After one bite, I couldn't continue; it was overpriced and not at all what I anticipated. I paid over $20 for something I couldn't even eat, and needless to say, I won't be returning.

Great place to pop in for lunch! They weren’t too busy and the service was quick and tasty food!

I never tasted anything here that I didn’t love. I have a special relationship with their pazole—and all the little flavor sides that come with it. This is the only restaurant that I equally enjoy both the takeout (for food that tastes as good as it does in the restaurant) and dining in (for the margarita-enhanced experience.) A true neighborhood gem.

The fresh fried chips were so good with the homemade guac And queso that we were literally so good we were scooping around the crevices in the dish to get the remaining bits on. By the time the main dishes came out we were pretty full but i was still stoked to eat it the next day! I definitely recommend this restaurant very highly even if I feel like I just gained 15 pounds and need to be rolled everywhere for the next month 😂

I ordered through Chow Now. I got there when my order was suppose to be ready and they said they missed it which is fine. Then I ordered a horchata while I waited and asked for a small and she gave me a huge one for $5. The horchata was way too sugary. When I got my burrito it was the size of a taco and cost $8. Burrito was gross. Potatoes not cooked thorough and oily. Won’t be coming here again.

Good service and atmosphere but I wasn't impressed with the food I got. I ordered the "pregnant donkey" and with a name and the price that it had, one might assume it's a really big burrito but it was average. Also, there was something really off with the taste. It was edible but honestly I probably wouldn't go back for food.
