El Orito Tacos Berea Ohio

"Jan 2024: Formerly known as El Torito Tacos, they've dropped the first T in their name. Got a couple tacos this time, the beef taco could use some seasoning in the meat, the shrimp taco was delicious, the toppings on both tacos were fresh and delicious. 2023: Excellent Seafood Chimichanga and Strawberry Margarita!"

"We were pretty impressed at first, but the longer we were there, the more strange things we noticed. The Food was fine. The chips were unseasoned but warmish. The salsa seemed homemade and had a good kick. I'm glad we each got our own bowl of it which I needed to have refilled. The Tacos were drowned in sour cream. The Quesadilla was also drowned in sauce so picking it up to eat it was not an option. The rice wasn't totally flavorless, but it was definitely the weakest link. The Service was easily the highlight. They were polite, prompt, friendly, and observant. I watched one of the workers (who wasn't even our waiter) do one of those moves where you walk in one direction, juke, and switch directions 180° back to where they were walking from when they saw I needed something and they wanted to help. The Atmosphere was very clean and modern, but the whole place is having an identity crisis. Its got nice floors, good lighting, good decorations, and the tables even have baskets with clean and topped-off bottles of hot sauce and hand sanitizer. But there are some branding and furniture issues. The name outside, online, and even on their embroidered shirts is "El Orito" Tacos, which translates to nothing. That being said, the tables, receipts, and even the booths (which were poorly painted over) say "El Tortoo" Tacos, which translates to "The Bull." Even the logo itself features a hard black-outlined straight-perspective cartoon taco on the left, and then a soft-lined highlight mid-toned and low-light shaded perspective drawn cartoon bull with a sketch style sombrero and flat 2D margarita superimposed into his hand which is in a closed fist on his hip. There was good music playing that you could even hear from speakers outside, but it had ads. If I were the owner, I'd invest in the premium radio instead of free. Our booth was also missing rivets, which is an easy fix."

"Ordered Uber Eats during the game. So disappointing. I ordered the sampler platter and this is how it was delivered to me. I couldn’t tell the different items apart. Everything was stacked up and compressed into a giant pile of slop and slathered in bean paste. To say the nachos were soggy is an understatement. This dish was inedible. I’m not sure if it came out of their kitchen or their bathroom. The cold heaping pile of muck went straight into the trash."

"Was looking for a new restaurant to try out and decided to stop in - and glad that we picked El Torito's. The food was absolutely amazing. Ordered the Torito Fajitas with some traditional house margaritas and they were great. The salsa was tasty, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. Overall, extremely pleased with the dinner and I know we will return again."

"Delicious food. Tons of seating. Food came out super fast and very decent portions. Guacamole was amazing. I got the Chimichangas which were delectable, I would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back."
