"EXCELLENTE"

- cristina A.

"El Torino in Dothan, Alabama! Wow! This was an amazing food and shopping experience! 1) very out of my comfort zone but right up my alley in terms of a food adventure! 2) the Tortas are delicious, massive, and I'm pretty sure the waitress was apologetic about the spice level of them to me after she saw my face but WORTH IT! 3) the pastor and pineapple tacos are to die for! I wish I could have eaten more but I only had so much space to pack it in! 4) I loved being able to walk into a space and immediately feel like I needed to have my passport stamped. It was like taking a mini trip to an off the beaten path portion of Mexico. !Gracias! To the amazing staff for a great experience! I can't wait to go back!"

"We've been going here for years! It's since become very popular and our little nook is always crowded but for good reason! They are serving up authentic Mexican food! You can't go wrong with anything you get here. We got the birria tacos and the Diablo shrimp! A favorite of ours is the Coctel de Camarones, salsa verde enchiladas, chilaquiles & the steak Taquitos!"

"Hidden in the back is the best Mexican food I've ever had the pleasure of trying. The supreme quesadilla I think it was called.... Amazing. I've been here three times and the food never disappoints! They could expand but as of now, it's a hidden little gem of Dothan."
