| - Hmmmm not sure why a place like this that seems to be in a busy area of a large City Phoenix had NO reviews?, oh well guess I get first!.
I've had my share of bad Mexican food through Arizona but that stops here at Asadero Toro, they have a nice selection of meats along with the usual Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, Platillos and Caldos incliding Birria de Chivo, some of the food we had was as follows.
Burrito de Barbacoa - (forgot photo) I was a little pissed when I saw the $7.00 burrito that was so small, the menu also said it had beans and when I cut it open to take a photo I saw no beans!, I opened it up and told the lady it had no beans and she showed me that it did, well.......when they say beans it's re-fried beans that they spread very sparingly on the tortilla like mayo on a piece of bread for a sandwich, almost invisible!.
The barbacoa was good not the best I've had but the burrito leaves you still hungry and not worth $7.00. 2.5-Stars
Taco/Flour de Carne Asada - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=UesCgSAa2WXX8Agm7A_SqA They do tacos in flour and corn tortillas, the carne asada was very flavorful wrapped in what seems to be hand made flour tortillas, some delicious tacos http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=1-jzVDNjJrDmAKdLUBlLfQ 4-Star
Taco/Corn de Carne Asada - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=taCr4PMTUIUTzCckrIVMqw If you see the little layer of brown on top the tortilla this is the beans, this is what was on the burrito and barely noticeable in a burrito, even on the taco it's not enough to give it flavor so not sure why they do this?, but taco was very good http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=2hHvnTHVkDomX0b6d5DZaA 4-Stars
Birria de Chivo - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=DjbKORyEUoXQnoo2WGKX0A For those who don't know what this is, it's a goat meat soup that when made right is delicious and this one was very good. The caldo or broth had a nice flavor and was fat free *(meaning they must strain off the fat from the caldo) good job!, the meat was tender and flavorful with very little fat http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LrA0tRts4UI2JxGdzavY2w?select=rlrJouGZ9oJbDyswTpSCdQ I'm picky about the birria that I like but this one was very good 4/4.5-Stars
Stay away from ordering a burrito!, other than that we were very satisfied with all the food eaten here and glad to finally have some good Mexican food in Arizona "The Racist State"
