Tacos El Toro 800 South & State - Salt Lake City Utah

Food ordered: Today I got a carnitas (slow cooked pork) Burrito and 2 chorizo (Mexican sausage with red pepper and garlic) tacos, The carnitas was a bit on the dry side but most likely due to me not using enough salsa. The tacos where actually the best chorizo I have had in a long time. The carnitas was cooked very well and off the grille was a lite crispy texture, just the way I like it. The chorizo was also cooked very well, not drenched in sauce as from past experiences and wasn’t crispy but had a great full cooked solidness to it.

Ordering Tips: When ordering a burrito, they have the option for meat, rice and beans. After your burrito is cooked and the way you ordered it you make a trip to the salsa bar. After you fill up your burrito from the salsa bar you hand it back to the cook to add cheese and wrap the burrito for you. He give it back to you wrapped and in a foil so you can chow down. Don’t for get to grab a paper towel!
