I’d recommend checking your math before paying here. They don't provide itemized receipts and tried to sneak in an undisclosed automatic tip for a table of two (their policy is for 4+). After checking my card statement, I also noticed we were overcharged. They even increased the tip on the ticket to a higher flat amount than what was written. It wasn’t just a rounding error of a few cents; it felt like a deliberate attempt to pad the bill and felt intentionally dishonest. Very poor business practice.
I ordered five pork tacos and two jalapeños. The pork tacos were dry and burnt, and I had a hard time swallowing them. 1/5 The jalapeños were okay 2/5 Also the food truck is not very good ether. Overall Rating: 1/5
My friends and I went to this restaurant late night. There were 4 of us that had tacos and aguas frescas. When we got the bill they were trying to charge us $110 for our tacos. $110!!! They have absolutely no shame!! I made the lady list out exactly what she was charging me which came out to $45.50. Without tax and without tip. On the receipt on the right they itemize everything then sneak in a tip ($14 in my case which they don’t tell you is a tip) then they double the total on their register. They are robbing our community to our faces. I’ve had this happen multiple times but didn’t gather proof until now when our bill was extremely excessive for tacos. I will be sharing this on every platform until they stop robbing their customers and provide proof.
I have been visiting the Taqueria El Toro truck on 51st and Oklahoma for a long time now. I kept meaning to try the actual restaurant. I heard they have the stuffed baked potato and have been dying to have it in my belly. My wife and I finally got the chance to visit tonight! The excitement and anticipation were tormenting my taste buds! First of all I am a born and raised Milwaukeean and I have to tell you Mitchell street is not the same as the 90s. That didn't stop me because I am all for supporting local and had to go! The outside of the restaurant is well lit and very easy to find. The dining room is very big and could accommodate a large group. There is a full bar. We went late on Sunday so there were not too many people there. The waitress was super friendly and kind. She only spoke
My husband and I had lunch with my parents while visiting family in Milwaukee and Taqueria El Toro was a short walk. There was no wait time, they have lots of tables, the food is fresh and pretty authentic. The wait time for our lunch was not too bad. We ordered quite a bit of food to try out, total tab for four people was reasonable about $100.00. The server we had only seemed to speak Spanish but we were okay communicating, not sure about the other staff. We tried queso fundido with chorizo, various tacos and torta and quesadilla plates with horchata, Mexican beer and tequila. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean.
