Los Toritos - Advance

After having seen some rather high reviews of this restaurant, I decided to give it a try for lunch. This is a rather small, compact place with a small bar area. I ordered 4 tacos 2 Chorizo and 2 Carnitas, along with a single Chile Relleno as a side item. My order was on the table in just over 10 minutes, and there was a lot of food. The tacos were topped with plenty of onions and cilantro and there were 2 accompanying salsa one green, tomatillo based, tasty but mild; the other was red pepper based with some heat. The tacos were rapped in a single tortilla. The Carnitas taco was a bit dry, the verde sauce helped a little. The Chorizo was about the same and were surprisingly chewy. Again the sauce helped some but that's just putting a bandage on a wound. The Chile Relleno was good, not great and was filled with just cheese. The poblano had some heat but was more than a little overcooked. The accompanying sauce was tasty but rather mild. The beans were flavorful with some whole beans mixed in. The rice was a rather strange orange color and lacked flavor. The service was excellent, but the food was average at best, and I don't see a return visit m.

Employees are fantastic and fast and the food is delicious and authentic and large portions. Love this place Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Personally, I fully believe this is the best Mexican food in the piedmont. The Chimichangas are excellent, ask for them “extra crispy” Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
