I really wish I could give this place a higher rating, but the food really sucks. On the surface, this is exactly what I want to see -- more fast casual restaurants in Lakewood, especially along Madison Ave.
Taco Tonto's has "the look". The atmosphere and drink selection are fitting a cool new restaurant in a lively metro area or college campus. The food is another story.
The person who said the food could have come from a concession stand at a little league baseball game wasn't kidding. There's nothing fresh here, nothing is being made in house, etc. A quick glance at the kitchen isn't needed to confirm this, but when you do look, between the absence of any significant cooking being done and the boxes from Old El Paso it's painfully clear. The quality is Aldi's at best. The jarred salsa sucks, even for jarred salsa.
Anyone acting smug comparing this place to Chipotle (i.e. the guy who laughed at the people in the line at Chipotle) should be embarrassed for themselves.
