Wanted to try a place I haven’t been to in years and remembered liking it back then. Still small and simple. Open air kitchen and it looks clean. Flavor is good and portion is good. Prices have changed though. Two burritos and a soda we $28. But it seems to be things are now everywhere. We will be back.

One of Corona's older Mexican restaurants serving excellent food, burritos, tacos and other Mexican specialties. This restaurant has a small dinning area with some benches outside. Was here on a taco Tuesday afternoon and it seemed too hot inside so we enjoyed our tacos outside on the benches. The tacos are like home made the best in the area you get 3 tacos for 7.99 which is an excellent deal. There's plenty of parking. Restrooms are outside and you need to ask for the key. Recommend this establishment for some excellent Mexican dishes.

After almost 30 years my husband and I went for lunch today and they did not disappoint. The burrelleno tasted just like we remembered it, the taquitos were crunchy with their guacamole and sour cream and the torta de carnitas fresh and delicious! We will need to come back with our daughter and introduce her to a new-old restaurant! Thank you, Tacos El Torero

This little gem has thee best hardshell tacos. We go every Tuesday for their taco Tuesday special. It's 7.99 for 3 delicious perfectly crispy tacos. Their fresh salsa is fire, and they give you plenty for your yummy tacos. The employees are always kind, and services is fast.

Food is very good there , when I'm forking and I take a lunch I go there if I'm out towards Corona, the chili con carne and rice is very delicious and so are the tacos I highly recommend to go there.

I’m always on the hunt for a good hard shell ground beef taco. And this one here is among some of the best I’ve had. Nice and crispy. The beef felt nice and full. Flavor profiles seasoned well. Cold sliced cheese. Diced tomatoes, and cold lettuce. Great crispy hard shell. I ordered the 3 for 7.99 deal. The other thing missing for me was sour cream. I will be sure to add that next time. The salsa had a great bold flavor as well. Nice indoor space. And it’ll be a must visit for me whenever I’m in corona. Recommendation: hard shell ground beef tacos
