The managers are so helpful, kind, and willing to do anything to make your experience the best it can be! We have reserved a private room two years in a row, and the managers vent over backwards to make it amazing!

This isn't a review a really want to write. I used to go to Torero's at their old location across from Bright Leaf (before that place blew up ... No, literally: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/04/10/durham-north-carolina-explosion-1-person-dead-building-collapse/3422977002/). Anyway, at the old location they had a pretty solid cactus burrito that I enjoyed and was my go to. Since they've moved I've tried other items on the menu, but have been generally disappointed. Two or three times I've ordered the vegetable fajitas - usually a safe choice when ordering vegan (also I always emphasize vegan). The first few it was fine. The last time, I got a fun bonus of a large piece of poorly cooked steak in with my vegetables. Their one standing 'vegan option ' is little more than avocado on a pair of big chips and a touch of pico. It's fine, but not filling or really a meal. The staff seem very nice, but don't seem to understand what vegetarian or vegan means and I would be equally or even more wary if you had a food allergy to eat here. Ultimately unless they educate their staff and work on some better menu options that are clearly labeled, I won't be going back.

I am absolutely in love with this place. I enjoy a keto friendly lifestyle. Therefore I ordered a fajita salad with shrimp. I requested that the shrimp only have salt and pepper on it to avoid any type of hidden sugar. Omg it was freaking amazing. I don't eat much in one setting so I took the remainder home. I ate on it from lunch until 8:00 p.m. that night. It left me wanting more. So I have gone back since and got another one. My coworker got their tacos, and he said it was amazing as well. If I could give more than five stars I would. The atmosphere was great. The service was prompt and friendly. My food arrived relatively quickly and was fresh. I could smell the shrimp cooking in the back. Five stars +++

Delicious Mexican food and very generous portions. We had the largest Taquitos I've ever seen and delicious beef tacos on corn tortilla. Definitely coming back!

There wasn't much queso in my quesadilla, the queso that was there looked like melted sliced cheddar, not shredded... The shrimp was dirty upon my first bite so I had to pick through it, making it a lot of work to eat. Our server was very kind and fast. Big parking lot + street parking available.
