Taqueria El Torito

"I ordered the Chicken chimichanga dinner . Honestly the worst I’ve ever had . Go anywhere else you can ."

"I just happened to find this place i am a truck driver from California load was was not ready so I drove the truck into town and found this nice restaurant that is the best Mexican food I've had in a long time I highly recommend it"

"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"

"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!!!"

"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!"
