Located in a relatively seedy area of town, Taqueria El Toro serves up authentic, healthy, and yes, cheap Mexican fare. Their burritos are like heaven…With each order, one has a choice of 4 different types of tortillas, 3 types of beans, 2 types of rice, and a choice of salsas that range from "Fire Roasted Chile" to "Mild Salsa." In addition to their choice of burritos, Taqueria El Toro has a variety of combination plates, tacos, quesadillas, seafood dishes, and even vegetarian selections. No matter what you order, you’ll leave satiated and have some change left over for a night at the movies (well, with movies being as expensive as they are these days, this is questionable).
