Need a Place like this in the Westside!
I moved from Ktown to the Westside last month and I'll be honest...there are two things I miss about Ktown. El Taurino and Shikdorak. The opened a Manna in the Fox Hills Mall so my duk bo sam cravings are taken care of. HOWEVER, as much as I love titos tacos...it i...s NOT El Taurino. I miss this place so much. The hot sauce will burn a path down to your stomach but really its a good kinda burn. Love at first bite! If you can get over the cow heads ont he wall, enjoy the carna asada, barbacoa, and carnitas. you can have all meat, meat and beans, meat beans and rice, you name it they can do it for you. Just don't expect fine dining, you're gonna stand in line, rub elbows with a bunch of college students, and wait a bit for your food if its busy but i promise you its worth it. PS...the hot sauce is HOT. get some horchata to ease the OH SO GOOD pain.
Salsa roja so hot it will make your head itch!
Best in LA! Carne Asada Taco or Al Pastor Burrito!! and extra container of the sultry love juice they call hot sauce
El Taurino- The best Tacos and Burritos I've had... Period
Listen- If you come here expecting the Taco Bell, Chipolte. etc., experience. Sorry. Don't come. El Taurino afficianados don't have to explain themselves and we don't complain. The carne asada burritos w/ salsa verde, the carne asada and lengua tacos are the Business! ...The horchata, during the summer, and the atole during the fall/ winter will never let you down. I will drive from all points to come to El Taurino.
Huge late night crowds, but still worth it
I usually go to King Taco for fast food Mexican food, but when I'm in the LA area it is an absolute must that I go to this place. I remember going when it was just this taco truck out in a parking lot and surprisingly enough, the food was great. The prices have increase...d now that they've modernized the place, but I can't help but get my taco craving from here every time I'm in the area. And yea, the line is ridiculously long pretty much at any hour, but it makes for great people watching and just think, you're that much closer to some of the best tacos you've ever tasted.
best burritos in LA
San Diego is known for their Roberto's and Super Sergio's, but for Los Angeles, the official Mexican food joint is El Taurino! I love their carne asada burritos, and they are priced well at $4! I love coming here for my late-night fixes even though it can get busy during the evenings. They do charge extra for extra sauce, but it's not enough me to complain!
My favorite mexican restaurant. Possibly the best since time began.
I've been here in L.A. for a good 2 years now, am about to leave, and one of the only things I will miss, aside from friends and the delicious smog, is El Taurino. I crave the grease that comes off of the all-meat carne asada burritos as if it were crank and I was Ma...rion Barry. I even lick it off of my fingers, for God's sake. Whoever dared to compare this, the holiest of dive joints, to Chipotle has either severely damaged his taste buds, or is a mongoloid in disguise. Similarly, if any reviewer can't afford a 40 cent cup of the scorching hot sauce or savory tomatillo sauce (perfectly washed down with the homeade Horchata) after a 4 dollar burrito purchase (and still writes about places like Baja Fresh, which charge upwards of 6 dollars for a meager and fake-guacamole laden burrito), they need to check their heads at the door. If i return to visit L.A. (god knows why, a wedding, perhaps), I will not leave until I have my El Taurino fill.
