Very authentic Tacos. You may have to wait a while, but the wait is well deserved considering its taste.

The pastor and suadero tacos are very tasty with the red and green salsa. We always get barbacoa and consome on Saturday or Sundays. My only disappointment is that every time the garbanzos in the consome are hard or the consome doesn't have much taste. That is why I gave it three stars because they haven't improved in that one thing.

Tried the quesadilla, carne asada tacos, and barbacoa tacos. Also had the horchata to drink. The prices seemed ok and the large drinks are indeed large.

Been here 5 years ago and stopped by for the first time in that time. Ridiculous! Things have changed so much! Every menu items have gotten so small that it seemed that the owners fell in too much love with money. Never have seen such a small burrito in my life. Even in NYC burritos are bigger than this. Taco was small too. On Sunday night we had to wait 40 minutes to get our order! The quality of food here doesn't deserve 40 minutes of wait time. Only good thing was the hot sauce. The good old days are gone and I will never return here.

The cageros charge you the beer but they do not tell you that they only have one brand, but there are other brands on the menu and when you ask for it, then they tell you whether or not I have the one you want but I will give you another, that is very bad because they already charged

To the owner of a bullfighting restaurant .. He will not look at his cameras ??? We have already lost ourselves as clients of so many years, their staff do not try to fix things what they do is to jump to the customers .. Bad service almost all the staff

Very good question and I think that if you should check it

Why I had to wait over 45 mins for my food to be served.. I asked one of the cooks to cut my Tortas she simple say they don't do that.... Will never come back to place

Jaime Castro | Aug 23, 2018
Joseph Condé | Aug 23, 2018

The prices and the quality of the food make it worth the wait for me. I have been going there for three decades. If you do not want to wait that long, go when there are less people.

delicious tacos

Can you call in orders

Myrna Rodriguez | Aug 23, 2018
ohno900 | Aug 23, 2018

Yes BUT they won't make the order until you go to the register and tell them you're there for a phone order. Kinda pointless phone system if they won't make the food until you tell them at the register. I know this because we tried it ourselves since we travel a good hour to eat there. We wanted our food done by the time we arrived, but that's not how El Taurino works.

Good food But there is an old cashier. Which is very rude. Maybe the menopause or maybe you don't have the need to work but. Your service is very bad

You are in the best restaurant in all of Los Angeles. Your meals that you want to eat are delicious, just be calm, in the service, there are so many, that we should understand that the service is slow.

When u called they gave me attitude and where so disrespectful

sarah garcia | Aug 23, 2019
Hector oso mundo | Aug 22, 2020

In other words, bullfighting is worth a mother, they are no longer useful, which hurts because 30 years ago they were my favorite tacos, they started selling tacos in a troka lunchera, in the parking lot, and they were the best taqueria in the area

It has always been like this. Bad service. As they are there.

Arnulfo Hernandez | Aug 23, 2019
Patricia Cruz | Aug 23, 2019

Sr: Arnulfo el Restaurate El Taurino has always given very good service, personally I have been going for almost 20 years and I have never had any problems. What I can tell you is that on the weekend they take a little longer to attend because it gets too crowded and even though there are two boxes they always serve politely. I think you have to understand that workers not with octopuses only have two hands and do everything possible to serve the best possible thanks to visit my favorite restaurant

Excuse me but should the people who attend, say the numbers in English and in Spanish because there are people who do not speak Spanish. On several occasions it has been my turn to speak only in Spanish and people ask me how the numbers are said

Erika Lobato | Aug 23, 2018
Erika Lobato | Aug 23, 2018

All the people know the numbers in English, Well or almost all, because I have been asked by the Chinese for the numbers in Spanish, because they do not know how to speak in Spanish. If they work in English, they imagine themselves in Spanish.
