" Once again, I am left disappointed by El Taurino. Why do I keep coming back? The flavors in their tacos can’t be beaten, yet the long wait and sometimes rude service make it hard to fully enjoy the experience. While the food is fantastic, it’s not worth the hassle every time. " (*Curated Review*)
