" I stumbled upon El Torito Asador during a late-night food run, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their tacos! A good friend recommended it, and it certainly lived up to the hype. I had the al pastor, and it was juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. Unlike some other places that skimp on ingredients, this restaurant gives you quite a lot for your money. The service was quick, and the food was presented beautifully. I’m definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A family-owned gem! I can't rave enough about El Torito Asador. You can tell they put in a lot of effort to make each dish outstanding. The tacos are flavorful and generously filled while their horchata is smooth and delightful! I've been there several times now, and each experience has reaffirmed my original thoughts. They’re accommodating too; they successfully adjusted my order without any fuss. I'll definitely be a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I've never been to El Torito Asador before, but I can say it won't be my last visit. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with the delicious aroma of grilled meats and spices. I ordered the steak tacos, and they were incredibly tasty and generously portioned. You truly get a bang for your buck here. The atmosphere is so inviting, and the staff is beyond friendly, treating you like family. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food that feels like home, this is the spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're striving for authenticity in Mexican food, El Torito Asador certainly serves it well. Each bite of their tortas brings nostalgia of my last trip to Mexico. The bread is fresh, and the fillings are flavorful. The staff is incredibly helpful, giving suggestions based on your preferences. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but that's part of its charm. You can tell it's a family-run business, and the love they put into making each meal is evident. Highly recommend for those who enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was extremely disappointed during my last visit to El Torito Asador. After hearing rave reviews, I expected greatness. However, the tacos I ordered were cold and seemed like they had been sitting out for too long. I mentioned this to the staff, but the response was underwhelming. They were friendly enough, but it felt like they brushed my complaint aside. I might give it another shot but I expected better. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Taco Tuesday special at El Torito is something to behold! Incredible value for money, with tacos that taste like they are made in a family kitchen somewhere in Mexico. I tried the carnitas and they were perfectly seasoned, moist, and sumptuous. However, I did have a bit of a wait for my drinks, which took a little shine off the overall experience. Still, the meal was worth it, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Grand Rapids area who craves authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at El Torito Asador. The atmosphere was okay, quite basic, but the food mostly made up for it. I ordered the three taco combo with extra salsa, which was delicious! However, my friend who ordered a burrito found it to be dry and not as good as anticipated. The service was nice and attentive, but there was a long wait time to receive our meals. Overall, it was a decent outing. " (*Curated Review*)
