Food: Palatable provision: hits and misses
El Torazo is a tale of two meals, somehow rolled into one Mexican food journey. Bites of the barbacoa taco, bursting with flavorful beef and surrounded by fresh homemade tortillas creates a delightful experience. The authentic flavors dancing in the Mexican taco with pastor are next-level. And even vegans score a win with the flavor-drenched portobello mushroom taco. Yet, lurking in the shadows of these tasty dishes are underwhelming moments of flavorless, overcooked rice and salty, nasty beans. Freshness is touted, but improvements could be made. It's a meal of flavor high points that occasionally trips over its shoelaces.
