" This little taco shop has become my go-to for lunch! The carnitas are so tender, and they make their own tortillas, which really makes a difference. I love that they offer takeout because it makes it easy to grab when I'm on the go. The prices are reasonable too, considering the generous servings. I just wish they had a couple of seats for waiting customers. If you're around Costa Mesa, you have to try this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Toro Bravo is a true gem in the neighborhood! I've been a regular for years, and the quality has remained consistently high. The tortillas are fresh, and their house-made salsas add a punch of flavor to every meal. Though the staff can get a bit busy, they manage to keep things moving along quickly. I noticed they've tweaked the menu a bit over the years, but the authenticity is still there. Absolutely love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Toro Bravo is fantastic for taco lovers! I’m always a fan of their loaded nachos and burritos. The flavors are on point, and I love their spicy salsa! On the flip side, the cashiers could use a little customer service training. I’ve had a few awkward experiences with staff who were not very helpful. Nevertheless, I'm still eager to return because the food outweighs the minor service qualms. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across El Toro Bravo while searching for a new taco spot, and I was pleasantly surprised! The asada tacos were fantastic! Generous portions and deliciously seasoned. I do think they should work on their line management since it seems chaotic when busy. However, the food is absolutely worth the wait! I definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was introduced to El Toro Bravo by a coworker, and now I've taken all my friends there! The burritos are a meal for two, and it's great that they offer vegetarian options. The freshness of the ingredients contributes to how delicious everything is. I love how they pack your to-go orders, so you don't get everything all mixed up. The atmosphere is okay since it's mostly a takeout place but who cares when the food is this good? " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't often write reviews, but I felt that El Toro Bravo deserved a shoutout! I had the pleasure of enjoying their tacos recently, and they were bursting with flavor. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. I also appreciated their efficient service, considering how busy they are. However, I do wish they had a small space to sit and enjoy the food. All in all, it's a great place for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had higher hopes after reading great reviews. While the food tasted decent, it wasn’t the level of authenticity I had expected. The tacos were filled generously but were missing that kick of flavor that makes them truly authentic. I’d rate the service as decent, though the place gets a bit too crowded. If they work on infusing more flavor, this could be a great spot. " (*Curated Review*)
