" A cozy little establishment that delivers on flavor. El Torito Asador has been my go-to for taco cravings! I love supporting small family-run businesses, and this one does not disappoint. The authenticity really shines through in their sauces and seasoning. Tacos are always freshly made, and you can count on big portions! Sometimes it gets crowded during dinner hours, but the vibe is friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being from Texas, I've seen my fair share of Mexican cuisine, and El Torito Asador truly captures the essence of authentic dishes. The carne asada is grilled to perfection, not over-seasoned but full of natural flavors. I made a point to try their corn tortillas, and they are better than most. The restaurant is family-friendly, and the service is genuine and caring. Highly recommend visiting during lunchtime to soak in the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to celebrate my birthday dinner at El Torito Asador and what a decision it was! The ambiance was quaint and intimate, which made it perfect for the occasion. We ordered various items from the menu, and each dish impressed us with its depth of flavor and freshness. Special shoutout to their carne asada; it's the best I’ve ever had! The staff sang a birthday song for me too, making it a night to remember. Highly recommend this place for anyone who cherishes authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying El Torito Asador. Overall, I found it pretty good, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The portion sizes were decent, and I loved the homemade salsa selection they offered. The most memorable was the green salsa; it had a fantastic kick! I would like to suggest they improve the speed of service, as it took a bit longer than I'd hoped. I'd be open to returning to see if they could nail it next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited El Torito Asador, I was taken aback by the wonderful flavors I was encountering. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, but I was a bit let down by the service. I felt overlooked a few times during my meal. If you prioritize food quality, you will be happy here, but I hope they improve the service in the future! " (*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*)
